While we're getting the show ready, somebody chatted something like Adam was racist and it's really funny because
as I'm looking at the screen, I'm like, you know, glazed over. Adam's telling a story about how he hates racism.
Yeah. And he's like, man, I got to tell some of these. And then the thing popped up and I'm like, how did that person know?
Just right at that moment to say that. It wasn't just that I said I hated racism.
It's that I called out someone and it wasn't actually my own family member but it was it was a
like a prominent like friend of the family that's always been around and my sister married a black
man and I heard them say some racist at stuff yeah and I snapped I was like, how dare you? Get, get. I actually, I swore a lot.
Yeah.
I swore a lot at them.
I was pissed.
Man, I took the gloves off and threw them on the ground.
And I was like, get the F out of my house.
Don't you ever talk about my effing sister again or who she's with.
Like, you have no idea.
Get out.
And they did.
They left. They got up and left
and they're no longer friends of the family which is awesome yep and i was like boom well i was
telling lydia this story we're talking about this person was typing and tim's like someone says you're
racist adam no no hold on hold on it was better than that it was better than that i'm i'm all
tired and i'm sitting here like this like he is like this. Adam's doing this impassioned story
like, and I said to them, you don't speak
to my sister that way. And I'm like, I look
over at the screen and it's like, Adam
is a racist. And I'm like,
yo, Adam.
I thought we were just talking about that.
In the middle of like Adam's defiant
like, and I will
make sure they hear my voice when I say
that. That was great.
Perfect timing.
Oh, man, that's good.
That was awesome.
Well, apparently, I don't know.
You know what, man?
Because I'm sitting here like this because the story today is like Trump's a Nazi, I guess.
I mean, whatever.
What else is they?
Haven't they thrown that at him a long time ago?
A few times, yeah. What else have they... Haven't they thrown that at him a long time ago? A few times, yeah.
Because he...
They try.
He posted a red triangle
because his campaign posted a red triangle.
And I'm like, I don't even know what you...
What does that even mean?
It's a triangle.
And then some people are like, it's a yield sign
because he was using traffic symbols.
And then the Trump team said that it was an Antifa symbol,
which it is. It's not the most prominent, but it was an antifa symbol which it is it's not the
most prominent but right isn't it isn't it it is it's been used by the left like you showed me some
of those those antifa symbols that you were looking at earlier before the show and it's like
that pretty much looks like a red triangle upside down just like that yeah so apparently i guess the
trump campaign used the symbol because they were like it's a symbol from antifa or whatever but it's like a weird obscure thing to do yeah it's a weird
story yeah it's weird that the left is a little weird started screeching that's a nazi symbol
but then the question is look like the nazis put the star of david on the jewish people okay because
they were jewish the star david so it was two triangles right right and i i guess the argument
now is that they put the red triangle
on the political prisoners because they were leftists
opposing the Nazis or whatever
and that they had used that symbol in the past and that's
where the symbol came from originally or something. But that makes no sense
because apparently the Nazis used a bunch of
different colored triangles and I'm like, bro, are you
seriously going to play a game where colored triangles are
now like racist?
This is so stupid. Look at the chat. The chat is
just loaded with red triangles. Thanks yeah thanks everyone you're all racist
donald trump and his son are doing a a live show triggered i don't think it's live don't say it
don't say when after our show ends that's when it starts it's not till after our show everyone
don't go looking for it right now, though. I swear.
It's not there.
Man.
And they're talking about aliens.
I'm so jealous.
Yeah, they're not.
You know, you know what Trump's going to say.
There's no aliens.
Yeah.
Like one of the jokes.
Well, technically, he asked him, can you open up Roswell so we can go in and look around?
He's going to be like, no, I can't do that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's nothing there. There's nothing. Nothing., no, I can't do that. No way, yeah. Yeah, there's nothing there.
There's nothing.
Nothing.
It's all wrong.
You're wrong.
China.
China.
China's in there.
Nothing in there but China.
So it's just, it's one of those dumb days.
And then we got, I'm sorry, this is real.
They're trying to claim that Beethoven was black.
Yeah, what?
Yep.
And so I started playing that song, A Fifth of Beethoven,
and I'm like, man, I wish we really had access to covers.
We've got to figure out how to do that.
Yeah, you're right.
Yeah, he was jamming.
Yeah, I'm jamming.
It'd be really great to open the segment just jamming with the song.
But they're literally, there's a meme right now.
Okay.
Beethoven was black.
And to me, this is freaky because they're literally, there's like a meme right now. Okay. Beethoven was black. And to me this is freaky because they're literally rewriting history. They really are. It's happening so fast.
I'm getting kind of bored with it, you know? I'm like, oh, it's the waiting, I can't stand.
Just give me the new, you know, the revised history.
Just tell me what I'm supposed to believe now. George Washington
Carver was the president.
You can't do that.
It wasn't actually.
So they're removing the name George Washington and Jefferson from from schools.
OK, in in California, I guess.
I saw that Pacific Northwest.
It was a really funny Reddit comment where someone was like, you can just leave it the same and just claim it was named for George Washington Carver and George Jefferson.
Boom.
There you go.
Wait, George Jefferson.
I don't know.
George Washington Carver, I guess. He's like an inventor, right? George Jefferson. But hey there you go. Wait, George Jefferson? I don't know. George Carson and Carver, I get.
He's like an inventor, right?
George Jefferson.
But hey, man, you know.
You could wing it.
Yeah, sure.
Whatever works.
Jury rig it.
But at the same time,
the weird thing about it is
they're getting rid of all these mascots
for like different food companies
that are black.
Okay.
That's another thing I noticed.
Yeah, that's weird.
I'm like, wait a minute.
Nobody's coming for Mr. Clean.
Yeah.
You know?
You got a tall, ripped, white, bald dude.
Yeah, right.
He's a skinhead.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, right.
You think they'd go for Mr. Clean first.
I think so, yeah.
But no, no, no.
Let's get rid of all the minority figures.
Yeah, all the representation of black people.
That was a couple weeks ago.
A month ago.
I don't even remember.
It was a couple months now.
Jeez.
Weird, man.
It's like, well, if you're a minority, you're not allowed to be, you know, put and help.
You don't sell products.
Yeah, seriously.
Wait, what?
That's not nice.
It doesn't make any sense.
Thursday is Capitalism Day here at TeamCast IRL because we have hard market competition
with live streams.
Every day is Capitalism Day. No, I just mean like we compete with a bunch of other shows. Well, Crowder snapped this morning. capitalism day because we have hard market competition with live streams and uh uh no i
just mean like we compete with a bunch of other shows well crowder snapped this morning right day
oh i'm interested in what he's he's saying right now yeah so we were close to being like maybe we
shouldn't do a show because we got to watch trump and crowder because crowder crowder and trump man
yeah he went nuts because crowder like and it's funny because like we're talking about him live
right now while he's live talking about we're're like, oh, what is Crowder saying?
It sounds like he said in his rant, I'm pretty sure.
Didn't he say silence is consent?
Something like that.
Yeah.
And he's talking about conservatives being weak.
That's what you've been saying for a while.
Well, I don't say consent.
I say abstaining.
Right, right, right.
So you're basically.
Similar.
Come on.
Semantics?
You're going to argue semantics with me?
I don't think silence is consent.
Well, I mean, it's – semantics again.
It's like you're saying if you're just going to be silent, then they're going to get their way.
So shut up.
The consent thing is a stronger argument about how you're agreeing to their position by saying nothing.
Okay.
I don't go that far.
I say you're ignoring the problem and it's going to get worse.
If you don't care, that's your own problem.
Well, which do you think is going to work to get them up
and actually talking and saying something?
That's a good question.
Well, the left literally protests saying silence is consent.
And they were routinely mocked.
That's true.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm like, are you sure you want to go with that?
I wouldn't.
Where's the Me Too movement now? Yeah, yeah seriously they haven't shown around for that it's kind of a bad slogan and i'm not a fan of of uh it's it's it's almost authoritarian almost telling people that
they have to you know the problem is liberty uh liberty is a weakness it It can be a strength in a lot of ways,
and I'm definitely more for liberty,
but you have to understand
authoritarians can exploit that,
take advantage of us.
Like with COVID,
we had a really hard time.
China just like showed up
with the welding kit and said,
lock them in their doors,
and then they came back later
and found them dead on the ground.
That's true.
They didn't care
because they don't respect life.
Isn't it the Chinese Communist Party?
That's what it stands for?
CCP.
CCP?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, that's communism.
Yeah, that's communism.
How's that working for them?
Well, apparently, curbing COVID.
I don't know.
They got 1.4 billion people and they got like 10 megacities.
Actually, I've been talking to a lot of people about this China-India confrontation.
And I guess because of all the factories going under, not necessarily going under, but stopping production,
America's taking that back.
They're trying to bring factories back here.
40% of Chinese people are out of jobs.
40%.
Wow. So think about about that those are our jobs
well maybe a lot of them like we start building factories we got we got more jobs this way but
imagine and they're saying like china needs to either you know have a land war or they're
basically trying they got to call the masses that's what that's what they're they're saying
china needs to do and that's why they're trying to get into a masses. That's what they're saying China needs to do.
And that's why they're trying to get into a land war with India.
And it's like, geez, that's brutal.
They're trying to cull their population.
Communism.
Yeah.
They can't handle it because they're fearing that people will actually rise up and fight the Communist Party.
So look, here's what's important.
Liberty is the best way to live.
I agree.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Yeah, 100%.
But, you know, the question is always, would you give up freedom in exchange for security?
And if you can't do it, it doesn't work.
No, you can't.
So what really happens is, you want to ask me how China's doing as a country?
Ridiculously well.
Yeah.
Their people, oof.
Right.
Not so much.
Not free.
So you would not want to be a person in that country.
But hey, the country is doing great.
And it's really crazy.
I can't remember who this was.
It was probably Bloomberg or something being like, you know, the communists and their authoritarianism
has done well to help the people live better.
I don't know if it was actually Bloomberg, so I'm probably going to get in trouble.
So I'm not saying it was actually him, but I wanted to imitate him.
Right, yeah, sure.
We'll let that one slide.
Makes sense.
But there have been a lot of people who have been praising Chinese communism.
Yeah, that scares me.
For lifting people up.
I know.
I bet they're all Democrats.
Probably.
I don't think it's any Republicans.
I don't know.
I'd be willing to bet a Republican's not going to come out and be like, China's great.
Actually, no, take that back.
Really?
You'd be surprised.
Who would do that?
The neocons, the, you know, a lot of the older Republicans who have retired and the old establishment,
old guard people.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, there's a lot of, there's a lot of fringe things that I'm reading, like out on the outskirts
that, you know, it's this big, huge conspiracy to infiltrate America.
China is trying to infiltrate us.
They are.
Mike Pompeo said it's not a conspiracy.
The government.
It's not even a conspiracy anymore.
OK, so they're they're invading us.
They're they're not just going to pick Democrats.
They're going to pick anyone who has an empty pocket that wants money in it.
Oh, here, we'll put money in your pocket.
I'll tell you.
I'll tell you the problem, man.
I was asked about why I'm always ragging on Democrats. And I was like, because Republicans
don't do anything. And then I thought about it and I'm like, well, they really don't do anything.
They don't do that. Like, what are they doing? What? I have no idea. It's I mean, there's a few
things. OK, like I could I could I could point to Matt Gaetz. I could point to Josh Hawley and
Rand Paul. Rand Paul obstructs in kind of good
ways. I like Rand Paul. He's awesome. Okay. And he's Republican. Definitely. Yeah. Okay. Josh
Hawley has introduced a ton of legislation. I don't know where it's gone. You know, I think
the other Republicans kind of stalled it out. Yeah, probably. I do. I do think it's fair to
point out that Trump led an amazing economy, the best we've ever seen. Okay. And so I'm not. And so I'm not blaming him right now for, you know, and Trump is barely a Republican.
And I don't mean that to be disrespectful to the GOP, but Trump is something different.
The Trump party is very different.
So Trump has actually done a lot of really great things.
And I can't blame him for COVID.
The Democrat governors are the ones who shut everything down.
A lot of people are trying to blame him for COVID.
It's weird.
I know.
I still see memes about it.
It's like, what is going on?
How is that his fault? What?
If anything, he
prevented more spread because he shut it
down really quick and they reamed him out
for that. But it doesn't
even matter. It was an act of nature. Right.
Exactly. It's like a virus happened.
As far as we know.
This is funny.
This is the game that the left tries to play.
It's how they control the narrative to the best of their abilities.
Rachel Maddow can screech for three years that Trump may be an asset of Russia, which is like an unhinged conspiracy.
Yep, it is.
And she's not called a conspiracy theorist.
Huh.
And why is that?
I talk about two articles, one from the Daily Mail and one from the Washington Post,
saying they believe it's possible this disease came from a laboratory.
And I say we don't know for sure, but it's interesting to see they're entertaining it.
Conspiracy theorists.
Yeah, they're trying as hard as they can to apply that label.
And now these activists are actively looking for journalists to write one article.
It's all they need so they can slap it on Wikipedia.
Yet Rachel Maddow, for three years, this is how they control the narrative.
Yep, that's true.
They discredit anybody who would challenge.
And for some reason, I don't understand how Rachel Maddow gets away with everything she did.
It's all opinion, right?
It's not really journalism.
But so am I.
That's fine.
I do opinion stuff.
Yep, that's true.
But this is the game the the institutions
are controlled by the the tribalist left seems like it yeah it just it literally is yeah yeah
i mean you look at the like the banning of uncle ben right like uncle so i i was reading about
uncle ben it's called uncle ben's right that's the right? Yeah, the rice. It was 1946.
It was a farmer. They used him as their mascot.
Hey, that's cool. What's wrong with that?
Good for him. Why are they removing this guy?
Yeah, that in itself seems
pretty racist. Oh, well, we can't
have this black man
show enough
to sell our rice.
But he was okay with it. Same with the
Aunt Jemima thing. She was cool with it. Same with the Aunt Jemima thing. It's like,
she was cool with it.
She got rich.
She went from a slave to a millionaire.
That's fantastic. And she used the money for civil rights.
Boom.
Why are they getting rid of that?
Because they don't know history.
Because they don't know history.
I'm willing to bet.
No,
that's it.
This makes sense to me.
They just,
they just see it and they go,
Oh,
how dare they use a minority to try to sell a product.
That's what I'm saying, bro.
Mr. Clean's literally a skinhead.
Exactly.
Yeah, what's up with that?
I'm kidding.
He's just a bald guy.
It's not fair.
Oh, man.
But for real, Mr. Clean is the easiest example of like, you know, what about Chef Boyardee?
Yep.
You don't see Italian?
It's Italian.
Yeah, where are the Italians at?
Oh, they're all in front of the Christopher Columbus statue.
Can my Italian...
I'm just saying. That's right. They're out in Ph of the Christopher Columbus statue. Can my Italian... That's right.
They're out in Philly.
They're busy.
With baseball bats.
So welcome to the show.
We're just chilling today because we were like...
We're just going to turn the camera on and just whatever, man.
Adam was talking about...
He was giving some passion speech.
So smash that like button if you didn't already.
Hold on.
Wait, wait, wait.
Oh, Dungeons and Dragons. Wait. Yeah, can we talk about that? We got to do it. Did you see I just pulled that in there? You did. Smash the like button if you didn't already. Hold on, wait, wait, wait. Oh, Dungeons and Dragons.
Yeah, can we talk about that?
We got to do it.
Did you see I just pulled that in there?
You did.
Smash the like button.
There we go.
I moved away from the mic.
I didn't want to pop anyone's eardrums tonight.
Thank you.
I was a little crazy last night.
Sorry about that.
It's all good.
So yeah, I got this article from, more from Wizards of the Coast.
Man, they're going nuts.
These people are so dumb.
They're basically making Dungeons and Dragons, they declared it racist. You got it pulled up? I Coast, man. They're going nuts. These people are so dumb. They're basically making Dungeons & Dragons, they've declared it racist.
You got it pulled up? I do, yeah. Do you want to read it? Yeah, pop it up right here. Sweet.
Are we going to talk about it? I guess we could switch over. So this is an article from them
from their Dungeons & Dragons site talking about diversity
and Dungeons & Dragons. D, D, and D. D, D, and D. Yep, it's the new
version of it, I guess.
So, I mean, I guess I'll just read it.
Let's just see what it says.
It says, Dungeons & Dragons teaches that diversity is strength
for only a diverse group of adventurers
can overcome the many challenges a D&D story presents.
In that spirit, making D&D as welcoming and inclusive as possible
has moved to the forefront of our priorities
over the last six years.
We'd like to share with you what we've been doing and what we plan to do in the future
to address legacy D&D content that does not reflect who we are today.
We recognize that doing this isn't about getting to the place where we can rest on our laurels,
but continuing to head in the right direction. Okay.
Wow.
So that was prepping us for the rest.
Hold on.
Are you reading it?
The orcs are racist.
Yes.
Yes.
So, yes, you jumped ahead.
And that's basically what they're saying.
I don't want to bury the lead.
People are probably like, why are we getting this message?
Well, that's why.
Yeah, orcs, I guess.
Well, see, and I posted this earlier on Twitter, and I was like, they are making the comparison.
They're making.
They're racist.
They're making this about race about race yep orcs were
had nothing to do with humans at all like i didn't i never thought of an orc as a human like
they're orcs they're they're like an a not like an alien species but basically if you were to
think about what another species is that isn't a human being. It's like... Go ahead. Yes, please.
It's riddled with
glorious... They say, we present orcs
and drow... drow? Is it drow?
Drow? I don't know. In a new light in two
of our most recent books. Eberron,
Rising from the Last War, and Explorer's
Guide to the Wildemount. In those books,
orcs and drow are just as morally
and culturally complex as other peoples.
We will continue that approach in future
books, portraying all the peoples of D&D
in relatable ways, and making it clear
that they are as free as humans
to decide who they are and what they do.
Did I... What?
What's... That's condescending.
I don't understand what they're trying to do here.
Why are orcs racist?
This mythology, it's like...
Oh, man. This is actually an old idea
because this is actually from lord of the rings and this stretches back a few years and what's
really interesting about the lord of the rings is that there are actually multi-ethnic different
kinds of races in the lord of the rings universe right but orcs they honed in on and they're like
this is what remind us of black people.
Right.
Who is that really pointing?
Right.
So they're saying that the humans represented in Dungeons and Dragons can't be black.
There isn't black adventurers.
Like what?
Bro.
Why?
I figured it out.
Why?
Why not?
Why?
Why is that not is such a far fetched idea for you?
Wizards.
I figured it out just right now.
Oh, do tell us right now. Tell us, Tim. What is it? Breaking news, wizards i figured it out just right now oh do tell us right
now tell us tim what is it breaking news everyone tim figured it out yes aliens it's aliens no no
i'm serious okay i'm 100% serious check it out you need a beanie with the fuzzy hair this just
clicked in my brain because my brain goes quick and you know it i was thinking to myself as you're
telling you're talking about this i I'm thinking like, we just have
these depictions of monsters to give us something to fight against.
Orcs are not people on purpose so that we can create a villain that we fight against.
That's exactly it.
The orc emerges and we're like, it's not a human.
And we stand side by side with our human brothers and sisters to fight the not humans.
Yeah.
Why?
Hold on. human brothers and sisters to fight the not humans yeah why hold on why would they need to
convince us that non-human creatures are just as diverse and culturally you know what do they say
culturally complex as we are excuse me tim orc lives matter no listen this is important wait
very hold on it's because when the aliens come all right they're going to tell us not to be
specious oh so so so so i am kidding by the way but but but like the the general idea is
in lord of the rings there's actually you know different races there's there's white people
there's black people right apparently i'm not a i'm not a big lord of the rings person but i was
reading in the books yeah i was reading about It was like a southern continent, I guess. Yeah. And the orcs were literally
not humans.
Right. That's part of the point. Yes.
And so, in a lot of stories,
I'm thinking, so what's next? Are we
gonna be like, you know, what's
the Balrog? Is that the name of that demon?
Oh, yeah, that huge demon. The big demon? Yeah.
It's like Balrog lives. Fire whip?
Yes. Look, clearly. Hold on. Pretty cool.
It is a whip, right? It is very cool. I think it was a whip.
Then it's intelligent.
And it crafted a large weapon for itself.
And there's slavery implications there.
Yeah. So how come
Gandalf, listen,
when he walked into Balrog, did he say
we come in peace? No. No, he said
you shall not pass. Gatekeeping.
And then turn into a
white wizard. Racist. No,. And then turned into a white wizard.
Racist.
No, not even that. He destroyed the bridge.
Saying, you're not welcome on our side.
So symbolic.
And then he became a white wizard.
That's right.
Oh, man.
Cancel Lord of the Rings.
Mind blown.
Put it on the list.
No, not Lord of the Rings, please.
No, no, no.
But in all seriousness, there's an interesting idea there that we create monsters so that we can have a challenge.
Yeah, that's what orcs are.
We don't just want to fight a dragon that's mindless.
Yeah.
So, for instance, in, like, Magic the Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons, you have super intelligent, all-powerful dragon beings that can shapeshift and things like that.
Are they going to come out and be like, actually the dragons are intelligent and we just need
to negotiate with them.
Okay, I got an idea.
Let's get rid of the dungeons.
We can keep the dragons though.
Okay, because dragons,
their lives matter.
Whoa, whoa,
but there's different
colored dragons though, Tim.
So when we get into that,
we get into that part of it though.
No, but listen,
we should call the game
Diversity and Dragons.
But it feels,
and we got to get rid
of the weapons.
No weapons. The magic should all be healing. Well, words, though. No, but listen. We should call the game Diversity in Dragons. But it feels... Oh. And we gotta get rid of the weapons. No weapons.
The magic should all be healing.
Well, words hurt nowadays, so...
Oh, for sure.
Oh, man.
Weapons will just be words.
Okay.
Good point.
Right?
All right.
Yeah, I'm tracking.
And the goal will be to...
Well, no.
It's...
The bad guys try to hurt your feelings.
Oh.
By calling you names.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
And they're fascists.
Okay.
Yes. Perfect. So you team up with the And they're fascists. Okay, yes. Perfect.
So you team up with the dragons, and the bad guys are white people.
Okay.
Because that's not racist.
Well, it feels like that's what they want.
How about this?
The orcs are now the good guys.
The white people are the bad guys.
Okay.
Will that make them happy, though?
I think that would actually be socially acceptable, to be honest.
Yeah, it might be.
We should try it.
No, but I mean, I'm'm kind of joking but think about it seriously
if they're like well don't don't rag on the orcs they're culturally complex it's like okay well uh
then i don't know we can rag on white people right because that's what they do all day and night yeah
they complain about how they're inherently racist so then you make the bad guys the racists and then
the game is about you being an orc and a dragon teaming up to take down the fascists diversity and dragons there you go we should stream so they can keep
the dnd tag yeah it's perfect yeah oh i kind of like and all all of the die you have are uh they're
all they're it's a d20 but it's every side is 20 and then it's all 20s all 20s and then uh uh can
you uh roll for hit please 20 20 you succeed wow a Can you roll for hit, please? 20!
Natural 20.
You succeed.
Wow, a natural 20.
Good for you.
By the way, we have participation trophies for any time you hit a 20.
Ultimate participation trophies.
So here's what happens.
When you roll for the bad guys, for the fascists, theirs are all ones.
Ah, right.
So here's what happens.
But remember, words are violence. Sounds like a fun game.
Words are violence.
Okay.
So when you encounter the fascist and he calls you naughty words, okay, that hurts.
But you roll for defense.
Oh, yeah.
And because you have critical race theory training, you roll a natural 20 and you take no damage.
Critical race training. You roll a natural 20 and you take no damage. But then when you roll to attack using your words,
you calmly explain to him his white privilege
and the fascist converts and then joins your party.
Oh.
There you go.
Yeah.
All right.
Yep.
And they, you know, but they have to like, you know, kiss your boots.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
That makes sense.
Diversity in dragons.
Yes.
That was, I can't, I don't even know what we're talking about.
How did we start here?
D&D, man.
They did it.
Wizards started it by banning some cards.
We talked about it a couple times already.
I got a theory.
And they're just continuing on.
I got a theory, man.
The people who are doing this are legit white supremacists.
Yep.
I don't.
It feels like it.
But hold on.
Let's actually break this down.
Where are the white supremacists
right now i have no idea they're not doing anything right are they are they doing press
conferences are they coming out and saying like here's a list no they're not so what are they
doing where are they they're probably watching us all go down and i don't know hold on hold on
laughing i don't i have no idea or they realized that the actual path to getting what they want
is to pretend to be on the left.
Yeah, okay, maybe.
Think about what's going on right now.
It does feel like they're trying to make a divide.
They're comparing orcs.
They're trying to divide everybody and make it about race.
This is very tangible.
Orcs are not minorities.
Orcs are not human beings.
They're not, exactly.
So one of these people came out and made a comparison, and the whole left went, yep. Yep, we'll go with it. Whoa, whoa, whoa, bro. They're not. Exactly. So one of these people came out and made a comparison and the whole left went
yep. Yep. We'll go with it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, bro. They're monsters.
They're just fictional creatures that we fight as villains.
That is so demeaning. Now think about
what's going on with the removal of these
characters. Now we can talk about
Aunt Jemima because of her history
as a character
from a minstrel show, but Uncle Ben?
Literally just a farmer. Right? Literally just a farmer.
Right.
Literally just a farmer.
And they said, get rid of him.
So the black icons of these old-time brands
are being purged.
Mrs. Butterworth's.
Did you hear this?
No, new one?
They want to change the Mrs. Butterworth's
because guess what?
Oh, God, why?
The bottle of Mrs. Butterworth's corn syrup,
not good, by the way.
Gotta get that real Vermont stuff.
Take it from Sticks, Hex, and Hammer.
That's right.
Okay, the bottle is the shape of a woman.
Okay.
It's supposed to be a regular old grandma.
But maple syrup is brown.
Oh, goodness.
So people started complaining that it was a brown or black woman.
So they said they're going to be addressing the imagery they use and their brand.
White? So you do have statues being torn down, to be addressing the imagery they use and their brand. White.
So you do have statues being torn down, to be honest, right?
And the Confederates are being torn down.
Let's be real.
But I have to wonder why it is they're removing, why they're comparing orcs to minorities and why they're removing Uncle Ben, Mrs. Butterworth's.
I don't get it.
Well, who benefits from all of this?
Who benefits from segregation?
The supremacists.
I don't want to say white supremacists.
Just supremacists in general.
Both sides. It doesn't matter where you are.
If you're a supremacist, you want division amongst the population.
You saw what Terry Crews said.
Yeah, exactly.
For those that haven't seen it, Terry Crews said. Yeah, exactly.
For those that haven't seen it, Terry Crews, great actor, very funny guy.
He's great.
He's seen it.
He said, if we want to end white supremacy, we have to do it with white people.
Otherwise, we get black supremacy.
Right.
He got tore up.
But he stuck to his guns and he did an interview where he said,
I believe his wife is mixed race.
Okay. And he was like, and he gets
attacked for it. He gets called all the
racial slurs in the world for being successful
and he's like, we can't have this. We gotta be equals.
We gotta be together. And I'm like, right
on, brother. This dude's amazing.
The fact that he didn't back down, he went out and did an
interview and explained what black supremacy was. I was like,
wow, dude. I was impressed, yeah. Yeah, that's
brave. But you know what?
He gets it because his
wife gets gets attacked. This is man. I can I can only imagine what it must be like for someone
like Terry Crews to be successful. Yeah. And to be trying to make a better world for his family,
for a wife who's mixed race and then to get get attacked from both sides.
But here's the thing. Both sides. I'm not talking about regular Americans.
Yep. Because, you know, regular extremists. Exactly. And the thing. Both sides. I'm not talking about regular Americans. Yep.
Because, you know, regular.
The extremists.
Exactly.
And the extreme.
And it's not.
Dude, I'm telling you.
The extreme right doesn't do anything.
They sit back and wait.
Or no, they just talk.
They just make YouTube videos.
Yeah.
The left is going out with pitchforks and torches.
Yeah.
And the extreme right is like showing up to like meetings and trying to have conversations with people right and they don't want to have conversations they just want to screech and shove it on your throat but the left is it works for them like they're
getting stuff done man look at all of the hard changes but that's that's the question i have
and that's why people say that the left is they're white supremacists with guilty consciences yeah
because it's it right there. apparently was like a staunch anti-racist. Of course, yeah. And orcs didn't represent minority groups.
They didn't represent human beings at all.
Right.
I read this really big thing about like someone,
some like a super, a super Tolkien fan
who got really offended by the left's claim
about racism or whatever.
Okay.
And they broke down like Tolkien's history
and like his personal views.
Yeah.
And they went through the lore and they were like,
how dare you?
Like Lord of the Rings, you know?
There's some diehard Lord of the Rings fans out there for sure they're they're legitimate fans
and now dungeons and dragons man what are they doing this they're gonna they're doing a bunch
of other things i don't know it's just so dumb it is and you know what all the i did a tweet earlier
and we're i'm reading all the comments everyone was, we don't care what they say. We make our own stories anyway.
And if you're not doing that, you're not playing it right.
Right.
That sounds right.
If you're going to play Dungeons and Dragons, do it yourself.
Make up your own story.
That's how I played it with my friends.
It's fun that way.
So why do we need them to come out and tell us what orcs are?
We don't.
It's called virtue signaling.
Yep.
I think you're right.
That's what it is.
They're catering to the masses right now.
The masses that they think are the majority
because they're the ones out there screaming the loudest.
Yep.
That's true.
Yep.
That's why Crowder went off.
Yep.
And that's why Crowder said silence is consent.
And I thought to myself,
when I watched his video this morning,
I was like, whoa, dude,
because that's what the left has been saying.
I hear what you mean.
I get it, man.
I don't like the idea like that,
but it's true, man.
Now I laugh at the left when they say it
because they're out screaming
at the top of their lungs.
They're not silent.
And now we're seeing, you know,
even crowders coming out and saying it.
I got to tell you, man, from hearing from especially a lot of people in the chat in the super chat about trump yeah i'm not convinced he's gonna win at this point i was thinking
landslide for a long time watching everything yeah but then i started talking to trump supporters
okay i started i started you know i i reached out to a friend of mine and they said no way i'm not
voting for him again and i'm like really yeah well? Hmm. Yeah. Well, I'll tell you this.
I took a walk earlier today, and I saw a lot of Trump signs.
For sure.
I walk around our neighborhood a lot.
Yeah.
I've never seen them.
You know we're in a blue district.
But now, are we in a blue district?
Yeah.
We're in a heavy blue district.
Well, let me tell you, there's Trump signs all over our neighborhood now.
Yeah.
I didn't see them two weeks ago, three weeks ago.
It was like, I was like, oh, look.
They're everywhere.
They're popping up.
Wow.
There's a Trump supporters around here.
There's a lake.
There's a lake nearby.
I remember this.
Somebody went into the middle of the lake.
It's like in the middle of the highway.
So weird.
And they stuck a giant Trump flag.
In the center of the lake.
In the center of the lake. There's no dock like somebody's commitment that was yes that was
committed like i'm doing it yeah they committed to that but but look there's a lot of signs
so here's what here's what i'm feeling i'm seeing all these things and i'm like trump landslide dude
riots explosions insults derision oh yeah and then I started seeing a bunch of Trump supporters like, man, some people that I really, really like high profile people being like, nope.
OK.
And you know what it could be?
It could be that they're trying to make sure hubris doesn't stand in Trump's way.
Yeah.
Because if everyone is so convinced he'll win, they'll be like, I don't need to vote.
He'll win.
And then maybe that's it.
And so they need to maintain. Maybe. Maybe. I don't need to vote he'll win and then maybe that's it and so they need to maintain maybe maybe i don't know though man but uh man i think he's gonna win here's what's crazy
the people who are complaining about trump are complaining he doesn't do enough right
so what you basically have are conservatives demanding a stronger strongman.
Yep.
More authority.
Yeah.
So I was reading some threads, and it was interesting because some people were saying, like, I saw some tweets from people saying that they weren't going to support Trump anymore, that he's let them down.
And the response from someone else was, do you have any idea what will happen if Trump doesn't win? If the Republicans don't win?
It's like you may be upset that the Republicans aren't doing anything. Yeah. But at least they're
holding back what could be. It scares me. If the Democrats get in. It's a good point. At this point.
Yeah. So I'll tell you what, man. You look at the Democrats 10 years ago and they were saying very
similar things to Trump, even Bernie Sanders. And then the rise of the far left happened. And then all you got to do is just take a Google search.
Democrats kneel.
We should call them alt left.
Well, they've been called for a long time.
I haven't heard that.
But the alt left was a reference to the identitarian left.
That's what it is.
That's who they are.
Yeah.
And they got really mad about it.
And they were like, it's not fair.
You can't call us that because the alt right calls themselves alt right.
And I'm like, I don't care what you call me.
Whatever I want.
Good.
Yeah.
Well, I'm going to start using it from now on.
Yeah.
But they are right.
There's no difference there.
They're trying to divide us.
They're making like shoving race down.
Well, it's segregating us.
I don't want to be segregated.
I like someone on their their valor of their heart and their mind
that's what makes a character not your skin color right right yep period yeah of course it's it's
so they're all left well all like it's a reference to identitarianism okay yeah so the alt right
identitarian right alt left identitarian left and And that's freaky, man.
It's just,
people don't realize what that means
to live with this racial policy stuff.
It is authoritarianism to the max.
It is,
there's an overlap with communism.
They won't let you change your circumstances.
You are what you are. Nah, F that. I'm not cool with communism. They won't let you change your circumstances. You are what you are.
Nah, F that. I'm not cool with that. I am of the persuasion that we're all dealt a card of
hands in life. We're all dealt a hand of cards. A card of hands. That sounds terrible. Yeah,
a card with hands on it. We're all dealt a hand of cards there we go and uh sometimes you get a
really bad hand yeah but i'll tell you what man i've watched some pretty good poker games where
a dude has a trash hand and he wins the pot and that means you may come from bad circumstances
and you can you can make it yeah that's america yeah think about the race-based policy dude i i
it blows my mind that my friends that i talk to periodically
when i try to explain to them what what what they're doing and why it's bad and racist and
they're convinced they're better harvard for instance won the right to discriminate based on
race straight up seriously yeah they were so harvard has a high density of asians okay
there were uh so they created a program because we have too many asians we need to get more rate up. Seriously? Yeah. So Harvard has a high density of Asians. Okay.
So they created a program because we have too many Asians, we need to get more
you know, we need to get more
Latinos and black students. Okay.
So they set lower thresholds.
If you're an Asian and you want to get
into Harvard, you gotta score like a 1330 on the SATs.
Wow. Yeah.
That's like what Oxford's doing now. They're like, oh,
if you're black, you don't have to
do as much work you want to know why this is horrifying excuse me how degrading is that you
don't have to work as hard because you can't you can't do what any other race is doing like excuse
me how is that not crazy racism right there well let me tell you oxford here's here's here's the
left says when you bring up the Asian thing. They say,
well, we're trying to create equality
and there's too many Asians there, right?
And my response is,
I don't know,
are they Iranian?
Are they Indian?
Are they Chinese?
Laotian? Vietnamese? Japanese?
What do you mean by Asian?
Yeah, most people are Asian.
What does that mean?
No, we clump them all together.
Exactly.
They're all the same.
And so here's what they don't tell you.
What they don't tell you is that the asians at harvard are are wealthy indian immigrants okay
and wealthy chinese immigrants and so what they're what they're telling you here's what i said to my
friends i was like do me a favor you're okay with this institutional racism all right i know i know
a kid 13 years old from the south side of chicago living in the gutter. Friend of mine has got a kid. They're poor.
I want you to go to that kid, look him right
in the eyes and say, honey,
you can't go to Harvard because you look too much
like that person. That's it. That's the only
reason why you can't do that. That's it.
And that's the left has won.
It didn't used to be that way.
It used to be that way a long time ago.
Decades ago, we won.
We passed laws. You can't do ago. We won. We passed laws.
You can't do it.
Right.
We're all created equal.
The content of your character, not the color of your skin.
Boom.
And here comes the Democrats.
Yeah.
Isn't it funny?
Where did we lose that?
And how are people fighting for that right now? The Democrats.
When did they stop being racist?
Never.
Exactly.
Yeah, they never did.
They just changed it over.
Yeah, Biden has said in the past month,
if you ain't voting for me,
if you haven't figured out that you're voting for me,
you ain't black.
It's like, excuse me?
What did you just say, dude?
Are you kidding me?
Who was that Republican we just watched?
Was it Sean Parnell?
Is that his name?
Sean Parnell, yeah.
That ad was amazing
it was great well when so there's a republican named sean parnell and it's it's a really great
i was going viral people were sharing it like crazy but he like walks up to a screen and he's
like i'll never tell you who you should vote for based on your race or your ethnicity and then he
looks and then it shows joe biden saying it yeah and then he's like he shrugs and he walks away
and i'm like yeah dude come on man yeah you see what they they said about uh what's his what's his what's the senator's name
tom scott tom scott yeah the the tim scott tim scott i believe oh that's a great name yeah i know
it's the best uh they they they they called his police reform plan a token gesture or something
dude okay these people sicken me man but they don't have any they don't have any uh ideas
themselves the democrats a lot of these people screeching oh for sure they don't have any ideas
they don't know what they're screeching for they don't even know what they're screeching for yep
do they even notice they're using words like token that's my question they do right you remember that
video we talked about that that like 18 year old girl getting arrested and hyperventilating
and they're like they're, she needs her dialysis.
Oh, the be gay, do crime?
Right.
In that video, they shot racial slurs at the
cops. Straight up.
I'm like,
I went to a rally in
Los Angeles. I think it was a Black Lives Matter
rally. And Trump supporters
were having their own march. I can't remember exactly
what it was. Everybody was marching. And then
two groups come together, and the
cops kept them separated. Okay.
And they were, guess what? The Trump group
was ethnically diverse.
Okay. Didn't really mean anything to me. I don't know.
I didn't think twice. Until I
heard the left start screaming racial slurs.
Like hard N-word.
That's crazy. A bunch of other things I can't say.
The C-word word they got words for
it man this is what terry cruz was talking about yep the words they use i won't even say and i
think the left like excuse me the alt left yes no i mean i'm sorry man the whole left it's it's
fair to full-on left it's fair i guess to call them the alt left but they've taken over yeah
like their ideology is pervasive.
You know, like if you don't bend the knee,
like they'll come for you.
They'll take your job.
And so, yeah, at a point it was alt-left,
but now I'll tell you what, man,
they've started purging media companies.
And now the high ranking positions are being dominated by this cult.
The Washington Post announced that they're opening up a whole bunch of new jobs specifically for the new religion.
Think about that.
How would you feel if the New York Times announced that they were bringing on a new director of Judaism?
Literally.
And they were like,
they're going to oversee
our entire staff
to make sure there's enough Judaism
in our office.
People would flip out.
That'd be so weird.
They wouldn't necessarily flip out,
but they'd be like,
that's weird.
Now, I'll tell you what,
if they did Christianity,
then it would be nuts.
It would be unacceptable.
People would be throwing things.
Oh, yeah, they'd flip out.
Oh, yeah.
But I just mean,
you know, I chose Judaism
because I'm just trying to bring up
like any religion.
Okay.
You know, like Buddhism.
People would be like, what?
Why is a newspaper going to have a director that oversees all of the staff and makes sure they're all talking about Buddhism enough?
I know.
It's just interesting because they do seem awfully like anti-Jew, which is.
Oh, for sure, man.
The mainstreaming of Farrakhan.
The overlap between the alt-right and the alt-left, man.
I want you to I want you all listening to think for one second. What would you say to somebody if they started, you know, showing off Nazi imagery
and iconography and symbols, and then you brought up the mainstreaming of Hitler, and they said,
well, you know, I don't much care for him. I mean, he's a bad guy, but I really like what
the party is doing. You'd be like, what?
No way, dude.
I bet we could find quotes from Farrakhan and
quotes from Hitler and ask people
like, which one is which?
We should do that. Which one? Well, to be fair,
there's a lot of, like,
just because someone's evil doesn't mean you're not going to be able to
find a quote that someone would agree with.
Yeah, but they'd have to be the same thing.
That's the joke. Hitler had a dog, too.
It's not that they agree with, but who said it?
If Hitler's evil and Farrakhan isn't evil.
What I mean is, you can find a quote from Farrakhan where he says,
I sure do love a good cheeseburger on a Sunday afternoon.
Right.
And people are going to be like, I don't know.
Well, that'd be a trick.
That's not really the quotes that I would be looking for.
I understand what you mean, but what I'm saying is,
there's probably a lot of political quotes from Farrakhan that are would be looking for. I understand what you mean, but what I'm saying is there's probably a lot of political quotes
from Farrakhan that are probably fine.
Sure.
And that's the point.
Like, you could probably say the same thing
about Hitler,
but he's still an evil person.
For sure.
That's why the James Lindsay
and Boghossian and Helen Pluckrose
were able to take a section of Mein Kampf
and change it to feminist words.
Right.
And they ate it up.
Yep.
But that was actually a really horrifying passage, though.
They went for, like, one of the worst.
Wow, really?
And people still ate it up.
Yeah.
You know, there was something really funny that happened in 2016.
Gullible people, man.
Somebody took, someone, there was a letter that was written about coming out to their
parents as gay.
Okay.
Somebody changed the word gay with trump supporter all right and then like trump supporter started sharing it because they were
like wow because like oh man it's really it was like i had to tell my parents today that i was
supporting trump and they got not they got so angry at me they told me to get out they wouldn't
accept it and i'm like that's such a weird thing it's so weird i think brandon strock says that
didn't he say something like that like it
was it was easier to come out as gay than it was to say you supported trump a few people have said
that it's easier to come out as being gay or like transgender than it is to come out as being oh
yeah i think blair mentioned it too yeah yeah there was that tweet that was uh floating around
last week it was like you get more like crap for being a Trump supporter than being a minority. Yeah.
Yeah.
Nowadays,
unless you are,
I'm not saying it's true or not.
I don't know,
but you know,
it was been floating around mad.
People shared it.
And it's like,
that's kind of in line with what we're talking about.
If you are a black Trump supporter,
the left will use every racial slur in the book.
I've seen a man I've seen.
I try to follow a lot of different people from all sides of the spectrum to get a really good broad range of views from everybody, you know, and it's like I don't want one source.
I want all the sources.
Right.
You know, and I'm seeing them out there and they're like, you know what?
We don't care.
I don't care what they say about me because I love my life.
I'm successful.
And I'm like, good for you.
Like, good.
Weren't the eugenicists the progressive party?
Like, the progressives were eugenicists in the early 1900s?
I believe so.
I think so.
And I know of a very prominent progressive figure who is still admired and revered by the far left.
Or the far left and the intermediate.
Hold on.
There's a lot of progressives that are admired by the far left.
Eugenics.
Oh, you mean there's a prominent eugenicist oh she was even a woman yeah it was very nice and her name was margaret singer and she's still admired and revered by
the people at planned parenthood so yeah it's interesting you know about genetics right
eugenics yeah i do yeah that's messed up dude yes it is she's the only one i really know of though
so what what people what the eugenicist people don't realize and that's
what my concern is like i wonder how many of these leftists are secretly eugenicists
they don't realize that homogenizing gene pools is actually weakening the species
yep they seem to think that there's a path and that's like no that's not the case
there's like you know no we we get stronger by mixing our dna right that's survival
i'll tell you what man people people last longer by mixing their genes because you know i have i
have certain you know resistances to certain things you know and the next person might not
we mix and create a child that is stronger this is why yeah they took diversity is a strength
which is factually true. Yep.
And they completely twisted it into a weird bizarro zombie of authoritarian nonsense.
Yeah.
Because I'll tell you what, man, it is doublespeak.
Let me ask you a question.
First, let's point out the simple reality of diversity.
We don't just mean genetics.
We mean opinions, ideas, thoughts.
The original idea was supposed to be that if you had a dude who was from, say, India or China and he came here, they'd be like, I have seen the world in a very different
way from you.
Let me show you what I've seen.
And then you'll be like, wow, I never thought of that.
Right.
So it's not just about their race.
It was about who they were.
But yes, there have been many studies talking about like an analog to hybrid vigor in mixed
race peoples.
So these things are true. But let me ask
you a question. If they really believed diversity was a strength, why would they segregate farms and
buildings? And why would they call for this weird segregation type stuff? I don't know. Because
they're liars. Yeah. Because they're manipulating everybody. They've pulled the, what is it, the
pulled the wool over their eyes or whatever. And so now you have people saying things like this,
diversity is our strength. And you know, they don't actually mean that. It's doublespeak.
Yeah. They're the ones actively trying to equate an orc to a racial minority. Yeah.
Yeah. It's messed up. They don't really believe diversity is a strength. And I pointed this out,
too, because Tucker Carlson did a segment on this saying it wasn't. And he made a good point
saying that cohesion is important and working together and having
a shared culture is important.
It's like, yes, you're absolutely right.
Yeah, we're a melting pot.
That's what America is.
The shared culture of America is the umbrella of our constitution.
And so long as people come under that, then we then we're not falling apart.
But what my rebuttal to that was Tucker has on probably the most diverse set of opinions for any cable show.
Brian Stelter of CNN, he won't have on Real Critics.
Rachel Maddow won't have on Real Critics.
None of them will.
Don Lemon, Anderson Cooper, they won't.
Well, Don Lemon, I feel like he had that police chief who ripped him apart.
He was regretting that.
Exactly.
He was like, we're going to go to commercial.
He's not saying what I want him to say yeah look like wow tucker carlson actively tries
to get he does he had the antifa dude on he had a bunch of different antifa people professor yeah
the giraffe professor what a neck yeah man and i'm like there it is bro i was like you absolutely do
represent the strength in in having different ideas come on and be challenged. And that's diversity of opinion that when you homogenize things, it weakens.
Because then your opportunity for finding a solution is more limited.
But there's boundaries.
There's limits, right?
I'm not literally saying take people from all over the world, put them in a room together, shake it up and see what happens.
I'm saying no.
We have a constitution.
We have.
And in that constitution, it says you shall smash the like button.'m saying no. We have a constitution. We have.
And in that constitution, it says you shall smash the like button.
Oh, yeah.
That is the constitution.
Well, the constitution here.
Does it not say that?
Oh, our constitution.
Sorry.
Did I not specify?
Yeah, he's talking about the U.S. Constitution.
Yeah.
All right.
No.
So I, you know, I've made videos about this.
And it's funny when they try and claim that I'm not.
It's it. Look, man's it look man i don't i
don't care if people call me left or right it literally is meaningless but i'll tell you what
like even zoobie tweeted out zoobie the rapper great dude yeah that institutional racism and
systemic racism are real and they're pervasive but it's probably too deep to get into a big
threat on twitter yeah something that effect yeah and i'm i probably have different perspective on
him he's a smart dude though he's really smart dude. He posts a lot of smart ideas about what's going on that a lot of people don't want to address.
They want to skip the stuff that he's talking about.
Yep.
Yeah.
So here's what's going on right now.
There are people who are legit center left, left, liberal, whatever.
Yeah.
And they're like, you know, Brett and Eric Weinstein, people like you and me, probably
Zuby.
Well, actually, I think Zuby is a conservative.
Okay.
But there's, there's not, and now it's just called the politically homeless because the
left is now dominated by this fringe dogmatic race based.
Yeah.
I don't, I don't agree with that.
Double speak.
Yep.
And conservatives have a bunch of views that, I mean, a lot of them I don't agree with.
Same here.
However, the disagreements I have with conservatives
are relatively minor compared to the threat
of our fundamental existence as a freedom-loving people.
Right.
So what basically happens is the umbrella that is America
is under attack by forces that are outside that umbrella.
So liberals and conservatives, the legit Americans, actually, there was a graph about this.
It was really fascinating.
It shows where Democratic voters were and Trump voters were based on a spectrum of social
issues and economic issues.
OK.
Trump voters were all on the top of social issues, opposing social justice narratives and authoritarianism,
but spread out economically.
Okay.
Meaning you literally have 50-50 of Trump supporters between progressive economics and
more laissez-faire economics.
But the Democrats were all clustered in socialist social justice.
Wow.
So that's what I mean to say is there are people who probably in 2008 voted for Obama. Wow. Should we have higher taxes, lower taxes? Should we have more taxpayer-funded health care type ideas, public option or universal versus private?
And then you have the Democratic Party, social justice.
Or whatever social justice means.
I see you're getting ready to spin that there, UFO.
Oh.
I get the feeling that people want the UFO spinning.
I'm sensing it too.
Are people—
Is it true?
Do you want me to spin the UFO?
I think it's true. I think it is. Sure. I'm going to spin. Is it true? Do you want me to spin the UFO? I think it's true. I think it is.
Sure. I'm going to spin it.
And then let's talk about, let's jump over
to the Trump triangle story.
Yes. So, you know,
normally we do like to open with the
lead story, but I actually think
it makes a lot more sense
to actually save it
so that everybody can... I guess we really didn't talk about it, did we?
Well, no, but I think this makes more sense
for those that are listening.
More soft opening.
The general idea is that
by the time most people get here,
you see this lead,
Facebook bans Trump,
but we do it in the first 10, 20 minutes,
and then by the time you get here,
it's like we're not talking about it.
Right, right, right.
So before we do,
smash that like button.
Smash it.
Yeah, there we go.
Smash it, smash it.
Smash that subscribe button. Smash that. go smash it smash that subscribe button smash that
notification bell and smash the share button yeah that twitter and facebook is preferred work
everyone so what we're we're still in the same vein of the discussion but check this out yeah
pretty much this is worth this is this is a weird story yeah you knew more about it than i do i
didn't really read into this.
Facebook removes Trump ad that identifies Antifa with red triangle similar to Nazi symbol.
Now, I want to stop right there.
It's not a Nazi symbol.
Okay.
It was a symbol used by Nazis to identify prisoners.
But the reason I'm drawing that distinction is that we know what their actual iconography was.
The Nazis didn't walk around with this.
They did use it.
So I think it's fair, but I think there's a semantics issue here.
And the reason I'm trying to separate this is when you say that Trump was using a Nazi symbol,
people are going to imagine very specific things. Yep.
Yep.
Not whatever this thing is.
All right.
But I've chosen forward.com specifically because I believe
they're a Jewish publication,
correct?
I do not know.
Forward?
Yes, I'm pretty sure they are.
So I wanted to get
their perspective.
And then I got Breitbart,
which counters this narrative.
Okay.
But this is an overall weird story
for a couple reasons.
One,
it's not a widely known symbol
to anyone for any reason.
I had never heard of it
until today.
And I've been covering
this stuff for a decade.
Never saw it.
Yeah, I'd never seen it. Never saw it. Right. So if you want to argue
Trump is dog whistling to who? Like, I don't know. A couple of hundred people. It's weird.
There's a conspiracy conspiracy theory on the left that Trump did this to crop dust, get as
close as possible to, you know, Nazi symbols so that Facebook would ban him and he could claim
bias. OK, that's a conspiracy theory, though. Yeah yeah it's kind of a long stretch yeah but it it is used by the left
and breitbart proves this so it's an overall just totally weird story yeah but the other big thing
about it being weird is how the media contacts facebook and says see this triangle it's racist
just so you know just so you know yeah and then facebook goes you got it
bans them ridiculous there's another weird thing too and this this was let me just read this story
real quick yeah read it read it in two facebook posts donald trump's re-election campaign tied
the the loose network of antifa which he suggests is a naming a terror organization to an upside
down red triangle a symbol strikingly similar to one used by Nazis in concentration camps to identify political prisoners and communists.
So they show the symbol.
Actually, you can see it here on this, you know, prison uniform.
Dangerous mobs of far left groups are running through our streets and causing absolute mayhem,
the post reads, citing no evidence for the claim.
Are you joking?
Do you need to put that in there?
Seriously.
Please add your name immediately to stand with your president and his decision to declare
Antifa a terror organization.
Facebook later deleted the ads, saying the ads went against the company's policy against
organized hate.
Our policy prohibits using banned hate hate group symbols to identify political prisoners
without the context that condemns or discusses the symbol.
This is not a symbol used by the Nazis.
Like, I would be specific by that. It was used in concentration camps to
identify prisoners. It wasn't on the uniforms of the Nazis. It wasn't a pro-Nazi thing.
They don't fly the flag of this. And it's not labeled by any group, as far as I can tell,
as a hate symbol. So what is Facebook saying? So they go on to mention, you know, what it was.
Political prisoners would wear a red
triangle with a P on it. And you can see here the variations of it. But there are also other
symbols that were used. And mind you, this is all really, really disgusting stuff. I think everybody
in the world, you know, the Nazis are truly one of the purest evils we've experienced on this planet.
Right. Indeed.
They say, yet Rabbi Yaakov Mencken, the managing director of the conservative Jewish group,
the Coalition for Jewish Values, said he did not believe the ad represented an instance
of anti-Semitism by Trump or his campaign, and instead suggested that it was Antifa that was
at fault for unknowingly using a Nazi symbol. Antifa has been and is very threatening to Jewish
houses of worship and schools, etc. Mencken said, citing reports mostly false and exaggerated.
Who's running interference for Antifa here? Forward. That Antifa was targeting synagogues
in some cities during the recent wave of protests. The fact that Trump is fighting
so hard against Antifa is only to the benefit of the Jewish community. Trump and other Republican
politicians have seized on false reports of people aligned with Antifa inciting riots in cities. Yeah,
yeah, we get that point. But let's jump over here where Breitbart tries to break it down. Facebook's excuse to censor Trump, a red triangle, has long
history as Antifa symbol. First of all, they highlight this, Antifa Utrecht. I found this as
well. This image is from 2016. It is a red upside down triangle. I also found this right here,
which is also a very old symbol. It is Antifa, Antifa 2018, and it's a red triangle.
And then this person points out red triangle symbol of anti-fascist resistance from a,
an anti-fascist research center.
They show the red triangle.
They also mentioned it's been used in other books.
They also mentioned there is a pin used in 1890 for left-wing militants.
They wore the red triangle.
So there you go. I guess I don't want to tell you, but I do find the story rather weird for a lot of reasons.
One media matters comes out and says Facebook, let the Trump campaign run 88 ads with inverted
red triangles and infinite infamous Nazi symbol. I think that's a fake tweet. You know why?
Why? Forward, which was very defensive of ant defensive of antifa said
two ads 88 is a very specific number that's a lot no no it's a very 88 it's yeah i know i know it's
right i learned this from the magic card yeah that's right that's right now you know for those
of you that have gotten the educational course on the magic the gathering card that was racist
oh man there is there was a number associated with. And I'll just put it this way.
H is the eighth letter of the alphabet.
So Media Matters says this.
Maybe it's true.
But Forward says two,
and Forward was not forgiving of Trump.
So I'll say it's contested at this point.
But I'll tell you this.
Trump War Room responded to not just this tweet,
but a bunch of other ones saying,
this is an emoji, the red triangle.
It's also a symbol widely used by Antifa.
It was used in an
ad uh in an ad about antifa it is not in the adl's hate symbol database and they show this image
right here which apparently is on some website where they sell t-shirts like somebody made the
graphic and uploaded it okay and it's it's apparently an older image but i do think it's
weird the trump team is now responding to all these groups to try and just like to prove
it wasn't a Nazi symbol or something.
You know what I think?
I think they didn't think anything about the symbol.
I don't think it was on purpose.
It would be really, really weird to use some fringe symbol in this way.
Yeah, I agree.
I think if you dig around enough, you will find a ton of symbols.
So another example of this is you may have seen the image of the, it's the Gadsden
snake with the revolution fist crushing it. Right. There's actually an image used in Nazi Germany
of an arm with a Nazi patch strangling a snake. And so people are showing these two symbols to
claim the left is now using Nazi imagery. Oh, interesting. You can find anything probably
from a bunch of different groups
because there's lots of different art.
There's lots of different symbols that have been used.
And I do think it's rather absurd
that it looks like yes.
Now, I disagree with the wide use of Antifa
and the symbol because I have not seen it.
Do you think they're going to start changing yield signs?
I don't know.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
That yield sign makes me uncomfortable every time I come here and have to yield.
Yeah, because now I've heard about this.
Yeah.
And I'm scared of red triangles.
Oh, man.
So here, pull this up.
Oh, here we go.
We will tread.
It's overt.
It's overt authoritarianism.
Definitely.
The Gadsden flag is supposed to represent the snake saying, if you come near me, it's a rattlesnake.
It's warning you.
I'll bite you.
I'll bite you if you come near me.
But it's basically about leave me alone.
Just let me do my thing.
You do yours, I'll do mine.
This is the opposite.
The fist is strangling the snake who said, leave me alone.
Think about what that represents.
Now, their argument is that, but the Gadsden flag has been co-opted by evil groups. It's like, I look, man, these, I understand their
point of view. These are the people who think the okay symbol is a white power gesture now.
Right. So stupid.
They don't understand the concept of symbols. So I'll tell you this. If you believe that the
association of a symbol proves the, you know, what the person, like, if you think that
symbols can change instantly, if you think that anything that's similar in any way to another
symbol, for whatever reason, milk, okay sign, is that symbol, no matter what they intended,
okay, then you just made a Nazi symbol right right there yep now i don't have the image to
pull up but it's an arm with a with a snake wrapped around it and strangling it and it says
something like the two evils or whatever and it's a reference to like things they didn't like
you know and it was it was probably racist or something in some way i'm sure but you can you
can probably easily find it i don't know if you're looking it up i'll try but so the point i'm making is if trump's red triangle is
a nazi symbol then i'll tell you what then so is this so is we will tread right it's the same thing
and a fist strangling a snake is that it yep all right i'll pull it up oh we found it yeah
and i found it it didn't take long right right because it, right. Because it's a known Nazi propaganda image.
All right, it's in the...
Oh, here, let me...
Yeah, you got it.
You want to pull it up?
Oh, I'll get it.
Yeah, you got it.
We're very coordinated.
Yeah, we are.
Top one, top one.
This right here?
Yeah, that's it.
It's all good.
I did not know that about the Nazi snake arm.
Here, pull this up.
Here we go.
So this is an image that, as far as I know,
and it's actually, the image here is cropped
because there's a lot more, but it's probably better that way because, I mean, YouTube's
going to ban this video or whatever because we're showing this.
So what was the snake?
Well, now show the other one now.
The fist strangling the snake.
Used by Nazis.
Awfully familiar.
And it's a red and black flag.
Who else used red and black?
You see, my point is, look, I don't really think these dumb kids here understood what they were doing.
Nope.
But the media is going to come out and say, Trump knew what he was doing.
Of course.
He's a mastermind.
And now I'm seeing on Facebook people saying, can you believe that Trump ran Nazi symbols for his campaign?
I see it, too.
And it's like, are you serious?
Did you look into it at all?
You know what my response is?
What?
Wow, that's crazy, dude.
Did you see those Antifa people also flying the Nazi symbols?
And they'll go, what?
That's not true.
Like, yeah, dude, the snake strangling, the fist strangling the snake.
And they'll go, that's not what that means.
And I'll be like, well, I mean, you just told me a triangle.
A triangle told, that's what that means.
How do you know that?
Yeah.
Where this one's way more legitimately authoritarian
like clearly it is and it's and it's it's extremely specific yeah that's true but come
on man do these kids do they really know i don't think they know anything about nazi germany or
anything like that i think they they have the two flags the gadsden flag and the fist and they
interpret the gadsden flag the way that their cult tells them to yep that it's evil so they made a flag to to oppose it yep it's
authoritarian it's creepy and yes it's very similar to it's capitalism it's nazi iconography
that's what they say so i'll tell you what you want to play this game we can play this game
every single thing they ever do we'll just pull up and be like oh look oh they're doing it again yep it's like anything they use
you you have you have a you have a an x the bluetooth symbol it's a room i think it's
danish or something yeah it actually is based on a king oh is it yeah it is the bluetooth yeah
this image is rather crazy though man yeah it is so So I tweet. I didn't literally mean this.
I said, so they're admitting to being fascist.
So they're just admitting to being fascist now.
And collective squealing came from the far left.
You don't know what fascist means.
And I'm like, I'm insulting you.
Okay.
I don't literally think.
Take the L.
Yeah.
You're like, I'm insulting you.
I understand you're authoritarian communists.
And there's a difference between that and fascism.
Okay.
Please calm down.
But, yeah, that's, I mean, if we're going to start playing this game and Facebook's going to ban these people, I got to think maybe Trump didn't know what he was doing.
And not Trump personally, but his campaign seems to be pretty crafty.
But this is a weird story, man, because I can't imagine it was on purpose.
This really does feel like the Trump team didn't know what they were doing i've not seen the red triangle
used before right i really doubt they started digging through nazi history and they were like
there we go yeah that's the one symbol we'll use why didn't they use a star of david or
why didn't they use the blue one or whatever no it's i mean you you it showed right there on the bright article it showed antifa using the upside down triangle yeah as their their symbol it's like
okay so yeah i guess it kind of makes sense what other symbol would you would you say represents
antifa i don't know the flag oh yeah they do have a flag the black and red flag a black and red flag
huh yeah yeah of course similar colors yeah absolutely yeah because it represents
uh what does it represent labor and uh something else the libertarian flag is yellow and black
okay yeah so i can't i can't remember exactly why they split the colors that way but then the the uh
the communists fly a straight red flag that's why the we will tread is just red and then the
anarcho-communist it's red and and black, which represents, I think,
communism and labor or something like that.
Whatever. Well, welcome
to the world of stupid.
The complete world of stupid.
Yeah, it's pretty nuts. Well, the crazy thing
is the censorship that Trump's ads
removed. It wasn't running anyway,
but I do think the story is weird.
I do think the story is weird. It's like
I think it's just a triangle,
and I don't think you can draw anything from it,
so you might as well just ignore it.
Other than that, but Facebook took it down.
What if, what if, man, that's insane.
Yep.
Red triangles are now a bannable offense?
That's so strange.
I guess so.
That's just weird.
Is there anything else the Nazis wore?
Their uniforms were brown, are all brown, UPS banned?
Oh gosh, I don't know. Yeah. Don't they wear. Are all brown. UPS band? Oh, gosh.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Don't they wear blue?
UPS?
UPS.
I'm thinking of the USPS.
Isn't their slogan, what can brown do for you?
No, I was thinking USPS.
Yeah, yeah.
Is their slogan really what can brown do for you?
Yes, unfortunately.
I wish that's the worst slogan ever.
Well, that's racist.
Right.
They're gone.
Oh, man.
Yeah, for sure.
By UPS.
They're going to change it, too.
We'll see if that happens tomorrow.
What can brown do for you?
Get canceled. Right. Yeah, for real. Oh, man. Yeah, for sure. By UPS. We'll see if that happens tomorrow. What can Brown do for you? Get cancelled.
Yeah, for real.
Oh, man. Everything's gonna be out, man.
That's it. Oh, dude. That's it.
It's only a matter of time before people
stand up or don't. Well, I'll tell you what.
Speaking of history.
Oh. Speaking of history.
Oh, yeah, this. This is interesting.
Was Beethoven black? Huh.
You know what? I gotta be honest.
I don't really care.
That's what I said. Why? What does it matter?
His music was great.
He was glorious. It doesn't matter
what the color of your skin is.
If you do something amazing,
I want to give you props for it.
Now that's true. And what is it saying?
That he who controls the past
controls the present. And he who controls the past controls the present and who controls the
present controls the future what is that from 1984 is it it is yeah is it i don't know if i got the
quote right it might be that is 100 from 1984 he controls the past controls the present he controls
the present controls the future yeah some version of this yes tim and i between us i think got it
you know what we're talking about. Yeah, so
they're... Where is this even
founded? Where are they coming up with this?
So this is actually listed on
a ton of verified news
outlet sources talking about
that maybe they changed his race
because it was racist back then and he was actually
black.
And to be honest,
I'm probably making it up.
Well, let's pull this up.
Here's a story from meaw.com.
Was Beethoven black?
Bizarre post claims composer was African.
Internet says history is being whitewashed.
According to a picture being circulated on the internet,
Beethoven may have been a black man
and not the white man we have seen in his portraits.
Now, here's my prediction.
The first thing we see is the question, could it be true?
And then once they see it enough, then you'll start seeing it morph.
The story will morph.
It'll say, while many people do believe he was actually black, they'll passively say
it.
Then later on, they'll say, well, originally, incorrectly, you know, called white in history
books, Beethoven, a black man, actually did this.
And they change history. Yeah. They change it. Here's what they say. There is no death of bizarre
theories on the Internet. The latest one to hop onto the bandwagon is none other than a theory
about the greatest composer of all time, Ludwig van Beethoven. We all know Beethoven as the famous
German composer and the mastermind behind several popular classical musical pieces like Fifth
Symphony, Moonlight Sonata, among many others.
According to a picture being circulated on the internet, Beethoven may have been a black
man and not the white man we have seen in his portraits.
Now, I want to make absolutely clear, I really wouldn't care if he was, wasn't.
I don't care if he was Chinese or Muslim or whatever.
I think his music was fantastic.
And I think Moonlight Sonata is one of the greatest songs ever written.
It's incredible.
I love that song.
And the issue here for me is more about are people going to be able to change history?
What if someone found a famous black inventor and changed it?
And said he wasn't actually black.
Actually, it was this or that.
We wouldn't want to do that either.
We want to respect the people and we don't need to change their histories.
Well, Jesus was supposedly a white man.
They've certainly changed him to white.
Do you think the actual Jesus was a white guy?
We know he wasn't.
Yeah, no.
That looks like me, long-haired.
They don't call me Soy Jesus for nothing.
No, no, hey, look.
That's a great point.
Exactly.
That's what I'm saying.
Well, look at that.
History is written by the victors.
One of the most famous people of all time.
Was he white? Whitewashed?
No, he wasn't.
Middle East?
No, he wasn't.
He wasn't a white guy, but he's portrayed as the whitest of whites.
What's interesting is, especially with anime, that the characters, I was talking to somebody
about this.
There was a controversy over Ghost in the shell when they did the live action movie and they had scarlett
johansson right a white woman playing motoko kusanagi i think i'm getting the name right
who was supposed to be a japanese woman and i was talking to people back when i worked at fusion i
was like actually the whole show is about people with prosthetic bodies their brains are cyberized
and downloaded into robot bodies and so she could literally be anything.
Yeah.
And one of the things I was reading about this was that I started thinking, why is it that in so many anime shows, there's blonde hair, blue eyed white people like Naruto,
for instance.
He's got blonde hair and blue eyes.
Really?
Yes, he does.
And Edward Elric has hazel eyes and blonde hair.
And so there's a lot of shows like this.
And what I read was, actually,
to many Japanese people,
the characters being drawn aren't white.
They're being drawn like Japanese.
Some of them, they do have
white characters. They do have black characters.
But it's white people
who look at the art, and because the art
is actually fairly ill-defined, like the
facial features and the eyes, white people look at it and think and because the art is actually fairly ill-defined, like the facial features and the eyes,
white people look at it and think, that looks like me.
Japanese people look at it and say, that looks like me.
Right.
So it's like people assign their assumptions, their biases about what they look like to the thing they're seeing.
So anyway, I thought that was rather interesting, especially in this context,
that now, apparently, people want race to be the most important
prominent thing but now what but let's compare it though middle in the middle east jesus was
probably middle eastern he was he was jewish literally yeah thank you yeah now now go to
this article here we got uh beethoven was born in germany probably white. A German couple.
Well, I mean,
classically speaking, Germans are,
I mean, I'm not saying
that there isn't minority groups
in Germany. When was he born?
We could be wrong. It could have been
that it was a minority
group that he was born to.
This is the photo they're claiming
proves that he's black. What? This is the image, I guess.
This is it here? Apparently. Yeah. He looks like Bill Murray
there. Bill Murray? He does. That looks like Bill Murray.
He does kind of look like Bill Murray. Yeah. A little bit like Bill Maher.
Oh, I see that too. He's got a Bill thing going on. We'll just call him
Bill Toven. We've changed call him Bill-toven.
We've changed him.
But not the way they thought we would.
He was born in 1770.
1770.
Not a lot of interracial migration as far as I know.
And you know people just want to believe it.
They do.
Yeah, because we're rewriting all the history now.
It's fun.
It's really fun.
So it's interesting because I'm not going to read what they say. I it they say oh f no i'm burning s down ludwig von beethoven the
musical genius was really black and this whole time they tried to paint him as white i'm tired
of black people in history being erased and whitewashed oh wait hold on i'm sorry wait a
minute and uncle ben just got canceled aunt jememima just got canceled. So all these figures in our everyday life.
Yeah.
I don't necessarily like Aunt Jemima syrup.
But I've seen it.
I'm like, oh, I know about it.
I recognize this.
I like real maple syrup myself.
But it's like, I don't care.
It's a thing.
It's a prominent thing.
But they're getting rid of it completely.
They're not even whitewashing it. That person's gone. It's just gone. Yeah. Objection. Go on, Tim. Object thing. It's a prominent thing. But they're getting rid of it completely. They're not even whitewashing it.
That person's gone.
It's just gone.
Yeah.
Objection.
Go on, Tim.
Objection.
Oh, yes.
Yes, please.
Hit me.
Aunt Jemima's syrup is awful.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah, sure.
Fine.
All right.
We'll give you that.
And they...
Well, it's more like corn syrup.
Yeah.
Right, right.
You know what's really funny?
I was watching Mrs. Butterworth's commercials from back in the day.
Okay.
And I guess Mrs. Butterworth's was always corn syrup.
Oh, all right.
And the commercials they would run is they'd be like, Mrs. Butterworth's runs slower.
You know, twice, or like the leading brand runs twice as fast as Mrs. Butterworth's.
And Mrs. Butterworth's pours real slow.
And I'm like, first of all, it's because it's not maple syrup.
Right.
And maple syrup is more liquid. Yeah who cares it pours slower weird yeah but
that but yeah so I guess the angioma syrup is when they started doing just
corn syrup with flavoring yeah and you know what maybe her name doesn't need to
be on it maybe they can you know what you do her name doesn't need to be on it. Maybe they can, you know what?
Here you go.
Get some Vermont maple, pure, the good stuff.
Sounds good.
Give that to Aunt Jemima.
She deserves it.
Yeah.
Whatever, man.
But yeah, it's all part of this weird, nonsensical framework.
That's what it is.
Beethoven is a great person.
He's got to be black.
And Jemima.
Now, honestly, the model and the woman who represented it sounds like a great woman.
Yeah.
But they don't want her imagery anymore.
She achieved the American dream, man.
I don't get it.
More than that.
She went from a slave to a millionaire.
She was a millionaire.
That's so cool.
But do you mean like a millionaire for her time or do you mean a millionaire based on inflation?
That's what I read.
Because she was a millionaire back in like 1900.
Multiple different articles that I read about it.
It said that she became a millionaire.
She was traveling the road.
She was like selling the product.
People loved her.
They did.
She was traveling the country.
Like selling her flour mix.
That's very cool.
Instant pancake stuff.
It's like, that's awesome. It's weird. It's all weird. Yeah.
Upside down. Yeah. I don't understand. How is it not racist
to get rid of all these figures that no one had issues with, especially
when they were like, what do I want
to say? The first person to rise and show
boom, look, someone that rose from slavery
and made it right like awesome like that's the kind of story we need more of like why would we
try to get rid of that completely i don't understand i wonder if it's just because they
hate america i'm starting to think it is because if she achieved the american dream and the american
dream now is really really bad like and we don't believe that anyone can achieve it,
then why would you hold her up as a paradigm?
You know what?
That's interesting you should say that,
because I watched the Raz article, or Raz... Interview.
The Warlord of Chaz.
So the Warlord of Chaz.
It's funny that that's what people are calling him,
but Hotep Jesus did an interview with Raz today,
and I watched it, and it was enlightening. Raz is not what they portray him as.
He said all lives matter, right? He did.
He said we're all one race. And I was like, awesome
man. He's a successful man. He knows
what he's doing. He's smart. He's clearly pro 2A, right?
Yeah. He's working to make
real change he doesn't want to get rid of the police it's he said a lot of things that i was
not expecting he's not the figure that they want him to be he's like no i want to make real change
i'm really trying to like you know help these people and that's when i you know i see this
video i there was this one floating around where some dude beat up somebody and raz was there and raz didn't want to fight the guy the other guy
the other guy told like it was like i'm not gonna listen to you i'm just gonna beat him up and
started beating him up and it's like see i can see i see now now that i've just heard him speak
you know today it was like that was the first time i've heard from his his own voice, you know, and I was like, all right.
Wow.
That's pretty respectful.
Like he's actually trying to make legitimate changes.
He's you know, it's man.
There's so much about it, but it's like he is not the the left's ideal person.
He's strong.
Yeah.
And assertive.
He and he's taken.
He's a successful black man.
It sounds he's proven that, you know, you can write the victimhood narrative. Right assertive. And he's taken. He's a successful black man. It sounds. He's proven that, you know, you can write.
He breaks the victimhood narrative.
Right.
Exactly.
It sounds to me like he is also living the American dream.
Yeah.
And I don't think they're going to like him either once they figure out what he's doing,
which is really interesting to me.
Yep.
What kind of narrative is that to feed to the people who follow you?
That's not nice.
I never liked this growing up.
I didn't like this, you know, during Occupy Wall Street when they would, you know, and
this is one thing I've brought up a lot.
If I agree with them, then they use everything about my past as an excuse.
That's proof.
And if I disagree with them, then they disregard my entire history.
So during Occupy Wall Street, I would often have conversations with people.
And if I agree with them, they would say things like, I remember one conversation I had where they were like,
you see, man, you are the perfect example of what's wrong with this system.
Right?
You're smart.
You're hardworking.
You came down here.
You're standing up for what you believe in.
Yeah.
But because you come from a family that doesn't fit that norm, they will hold you back.
And that's why you are, you know, you didn't succeed in school.
And that's why you're here with us.
And I'm like, sure.
And then a week later, I get featured in all these magazines.
And what do they say?
Tim Pool is white and born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Oh, please.
I'm sure he's a trust fund kid.
And that proves everything.
Wow.
And then there were people there who knew me.
And they were like, you know he's homeless, right?
Like, he sleeps in the park.
And they're like, that's not true.
He's just like an adventurer.
You know, he's just messing around.
And they're like, no, I'm pretty sure he's broke.
Like, we had to buy him food.
And he's been eating the bagels out of like the bin like the rest of us.
Smells kind of weird.
Yeah, and he smells kind of weird.
But their narrative was shattered.
Ironically, it still holds true.
Oh, yeah, definitely.
It's not like onions, mostly.
If only you knew.
It's hard.
They couldn't handle it.
When I was a high school dropout, sleeping in a park with nothing, It was perfect for their narrative, for their social justice
narrative. Yeah, you know, this
country can't accept, you know, your families and true
love. But then as soon as I was successful,
you're white. Dude, that's
so backwards. Yep.
Because all of a sudden I was like, the American dream is possible.
I'm proof. No, you're not. You're a liar. He's just cheering for you.
And isn't that kind of...
And Terry Crews, for example, we spoke about
him earlier. It's like, what do they say to him when he says well no i'm i'm successful i'm doing all this i believe in
the american dream oh well you're a traitor you're traded oh no they call them worse things
than that worse yes they do i wasn't gonna say this right right that's nice so i felt like it
makes me so angry scratch the surface of it but surface of it. But it's like, what? Absolutely.
Look, man, you know, when I hear people talk about wanting to punch a racist in the face,
man, I feel it.
I hear you.
But you can't live that way.
You can't just walk up to a random person and punch him.
As much as I get that feeling, I get really mad.
Really, really mad.
Because I'll tell you what.
I'm not going to name drop anybody.
But I know some people who are Filipinoipino some people who are black mexican and some of the smartest people hardest working people successful people and like we mentioned you know you can go on twitter and find some
really really great people of all different races that you will agree with that you know are really
smart and then when i hear people say stupid stereotypes about people based on their race
the first thing that hits me is like bro you're talking about my friend right now you're talking about someone i know stop disrespecting
people you have a problem with people because they act like morons i got no problem ragging
on antifa who are white neck like morons all right you want to talk about gangbangers you
want to talk about you know criminals burglars whatever anybody from any race can be this thing
and we can we can rag on people for their behavior all day and night.
But, man, I have nothing but contempt and utter disdain.
I've gotten into a lot of arguments with race realists.
Yeah.
And I feel like they can't back their arguments up because these things are really, really difficult to prove.
But what I can't stand is on one side of the coin, you have the blank slate people.
Yeah.
Everyone is completely the same and they're all developed by a construct.
That's nonsense.
But then you have the realist people who are like, everyone is a complete product of their genetics.
They can't be changed.
It's almost like it's somewhere in the middle.
Like a bell curve.
Oh, yeah.
Like there's literally a book called Bell Curve. Like most of the people are in the middle of i'm like a bell curve oh yeah like there's literally like
most of the people are in the middle of that and don't agree with either side yeah there's a book
about that that's exactly what he's talking about you know it's you know it's crazy the motivations
of humans are probably like 99.9 identical yep same emotion same drug make more of me
make food and make more of me yeah exactly exactly yeah and so when you
understand like what humans really do then everything is derivative of that and and it's
about our survival and expansion and there are people who crave power and there are people who
don't there are leaders and there are followers and there are smart people and there are stupid
people and i i think it's absurd that the blank slate people are like, genetics play no role in any of these things.
It's like, no, listen, man, let's be completely real.
Genetics absolutely plays a role in your height, your hair color, your eye color.
All those things you can't change.
Your fast twitch and slow twitch muscles.
And yes, there probably is a correlation between race and many of these features, including intelligence.
Right. However, you get these people on the far left who refuse to even discuss the concept of
probability.
Right.
And so I defer to Sam Harris, the actual brain scientist, neuroscientist.
Right.
And he had this conversation saying it's likely that it plays a role.
But I just think that nurture plays a substantial role, slightly, probably a much bigger role.
Yeah.
You can program humans. You can teach them. You can develop them. You can, probably a much bigger role. Yeah. You can program humans.
You can teach them.
You can develop them.
You can, and they strive to succeed.
So you, I feel there was a, I read a story about a chess grandmaster and he apparently
like, I'm going to, you know, ruin the story because I'm probably not going to get it perfect.
He contacts another chess grandmaster, a female, and he's like, or I think they were chess
masters or scientists. I think they were both scientists.
And he's like, I know how to create
geniuses, so let's have kids together
and then raise them to be geniuses.
And then the kids all grew up to be
the top female grandmaster chess players.
Okay. And so they were asked
to do the same thing with adopted kids, and he was like,
I'm too old. I can't do it.
But while it's not perfect, because it was literally
the children of two geniuses.
That is a small sample size.
I still think it's fair to point out that there is a nurture role in this.
And I can speak from personal experience in the choices made by people growing up in my neighborhood.
The difference between me and the kid who grew up, you know, just a few houses down or a block away from me.
It's like my mom was, you know, tutoring us and homeschooling us extra yeah you know and you know the funny thing is though okay
when i when i when i talked to some of my more right-leaning friends they're like tim that's
not fair your mom's korean and i'm like oh come on like korean mom tutoring her kids and being
very studious and everything and i'm like no but i can't argue it
i mean technically but my mom is from st louis or or something like that that sounds like a
cultural thing then if she if it was really important to her i i don't think that actually
uh i don't think the reason that my mom was very studious and and wanted to be a teacher had
anything to do with with race or ethnicity right i think it had to do with more being a mom and
wanting to have an active role.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And that's why there are other people in the neighborhood of different races who had similar behaviors, and their kids are successful.
Without name-dropping anybody, I know some kids whose parents were very supportive and pushed them. And particularly one individual who was black and became extremely successful.
There are people in my neighborhood that's of all different races.
So anyway, I don't want to go on a huge rant about this.
I think we get the point.
But yeah, man, I'll wrap it up by saying this.
I feel that anger when I hear, you know,
racists say stupid things about people because it reflects on my friends.
And I don't like it.
I don't like it at all.
I am 100% with you, man.
But I'll tell you what.
I feel the same way.
You're not going to win an argument by walking up to him and screaming and smack him in the face.
You're going to invite them over for dinner with your friends of different races.
And then like Daryl Davis did.
I love this story, man.
Yeah, he's awesome.
What a great story.
He met this guy who was a white supremacist.
They were very apprehensive of him.
And he knew that this guy was a huge rock and roll fan. And he was like can't remember whose car it was it was a famous you know a classic car convertible and he was like hey man he's like you know i'm a musician i know the guy's
got the car you want to see it and this white supremacist was was like no way you're gonna
bring me to the car and he's like i got you and then all of a sudden this guy was like what this
is the coolest guy ever yeah and then he realized they're people and they came together.
And Daryl Davis is a legend, man.
This dude is incredible.
Yeah, if you don't know who he is, you should check it out.
I wish I could have met him.
Amazingly inspirational dude.
Yeah, he is.
And so we did an event in Philly and he showed up.
And I tell you what, man, he brought with him a chest full of Klan garb.
Oh, really?
Yeah, and symbols and stuff.
Like his trophies.
He was asked.
Yeah.
Yeah, man.
But kind of.
I've converted these people.
Yeah, absolutely.
Over 200 people.
That's amazing.
And the amazing thing is that he did it by just hanging out with them.
Showing them that we're all human.
But not even really.
We all have emotions.
We all want to have a good time.
It's the truth. But not even really. We all have emotions. We all want to have a good time. You think it's like him thinking to himself, I'm going to do my best to de-radicalize these people.
It wasn't.
It was him literally being like, you want to hang out?
And then they would sit down and talk about rock and roll.
And these guys were like, this dude's rad.
And then he was saying that eventually these guys start to think about it.
And they're like, hey, man, these things I'm hearing don't represent my friend.
And I don't like hearing these things. Daryl's cool yeah and that was it and i'm
like and then it spread love love spread man that's what i'm talking you know even even if you
like even if you think the worst things about people and you and you have assumptions and you
want to focus on certain issues i just tell you man we we have to learn to live to live together
on this planet yes we do there's not going to be a situation where, I mean, maybe China goes and just starts purging people, but they're not going to win either.
We all live on Earth.
We're all humans.
And I know it's silly because different cultures can't overlap.
They can't work together.
Right.
Like, America and China, man, but I'll tell you what, China's way of life and the Chinese
Communist Party's way of doing things cannot survive on this planet without them committing
atrocities.
That's correct.
But the American way of life welcomes all people.
And there's problems, but we have to make sure we maintain that American culture first
and foremost.
And then under that umbrella of the American Constitution, life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness, everybody can thrive and be happy and learn to live together.
You know what, Tim?
I'm going to spin the UFO for you right now.
There we go.
Let's do it.
This is for you, Tim.
Now that we just had a heartwarming...
No one else.
Beautiful heartwarming...
Sorry, I love you all.
But this is for you, man.
This is so nice.
Spin the UFO.
This is why I love America, man.
Because think about it.
No, but I mean this.
It's for you.
It's for you right now.
The way the Chinese the chinese communist party
runs things it's you the way a lot of these countries with their like i don't think so
many of these leftists understand how racist so many countries are like i mean literally
it's very difficult to move there it's true of america where we actively fight against it to
the point where we have lunatics running through the streets thinking they're fighting but they're
making things worse they're actually becoming racist themselves.
Right.
We fight racism so hard.
We have people fighting racism that mostly doesn't exist anymore.
That's great.
With racism.
Yeah.
I know it's getting bad.
It's amazing.
So that's why we have to keep resisting these people's desire to have racial pretext and
law and discrimination.
So I'll put it this way, man.
These far leftists, they like to say to me,
aren't you a fan of Star Trek? Don't you want to live in that future?
That's what we're trying to build. And I'm like, no, you're not.
Do they know the story, though, too? Because society crumbled.
Is that the plan?
And then after they realized it didn't work that way, Star Trek started.
I see what they're going for.
You don't know star trek you know what
i tell them is like listen a real future that incorporates a one world system we call it earth
and it's the federation and we travel the stars we all live together that means you can't go and
throw a pie in someone's face for being white that means you can't start smearing and insulting
white people it means that even if you meet someone who's white who's a racist,
you've got to sit down with them and you've got to talk to them
about why we're going to hang out, have a beer,
have a slice of pizza, and then that's
the end of it.
You can't play this race
tribalism game like they're playing.
They're bringing the problems back.
I don't like it. I don't either.
Yeah, we're regressing.
But you know what, man? They're taking ground.
That's scary, right?
Start speaking up.

Travis says, two weeks ago, the Atlanta DA used the justification that tasers were a
deadly weapon in the charging of four of six officers
with aggravated assault see donut operator for the full breakdown oh yeah totally totally hypocrisy
yeah the hypocrisy is crazy steven faber says every time i watch your videos i have a strange
urge to go play at golden nugget casino why is it because they run because of the ad that shows up
i see it because when i i everyone's talking about a Biden ad, but I've never seen it.
I've only seen the Golden Nugget Casino one.
Well, there you go, man.
TL says, question for Lydia.
Do you consider it cultural appropriation when someone gets white girl wasted?
Yes and no.
No, you don't.
I am a white girl.
I do not get wasted.
So it's 50-50.
What is it?
Cultural appropriation?
I don't care.
Are they stealing your culture? That is not my culture. I'm a white girl. I do not get wasted. So it's 50-50. You do you. But is it cultural appropriation? Are they stealing your culture?
That is not my culture.
I'm just saying.
Well, it's not really accurate
because anyone could get
that wasted and act a fool.
We just do it really well.
Milo says,
Hello from a non-far left
centrist libertarian furry.
Please enjoy some money I made while writing furry erotica.

The red pill journey says skate for coming soon.
I don't believe you.
I don't believe it.
I don't believe you.
EA skate.
You know what I love?
It was a good game though.
There's a meme that goes around saying make EA skate again.
I love it. Yeah it's great it's funny
because skateboarders don't care about making jokes about you know maga and stuff that's true
there's actually uh uh some pros i don't know if they're pro skaters but some some skaters on
instagram who have the gadsden flag on their mini ramp okay and i'm curious as to when someone's
going to come for them because they're just skateboarders yeah i don't think it'll work i don't think so either yeah yeah i i kind of would like to paint the
gads and snake somewhere that'd be fun travis tolbert says in the rayshard brooks case the
da is quoted saying tasers are non-lethal weapons when asked if the officers should have feared for
their lives in a cbs news interview because that man is evil he's trying to get re-elected
and he's corrupt too i'm seeing a lot of stuff.
Super corrupt.
Popping up.
Yeah, messed up.
Adam says, Carlos is challenging Tim lately.
I like you both.
Learn a lot from you.
Have to admit, I'm fairly pessimistic about the climate our society sees itself in now

Who's Carlos?
I don't know.
No idea.
Maybe Carlos Osweida.
Who's that?
I think that's who it is.
He's a big Twitterer who does a lot of feeds.
He's tagged me in a few things.
Interesting.
He talks about our show sometimes, your show.
Oh, really?
Yeah, just does like basically just long threads about his opinions on it.
Interesting.
That's what Twitter's for?
Yeah.

amnesia effect right and it happens to everybody farmed keith says hey remember when reddit
quarantined the donald for making anti-cop statements a year ago? Seems strange today.
Yeah, that's really interesting, isn't it?
The Donald gets removed from Reddit for anti-cop statements, and now quite literally it's the entirety of the website.
They need to reinstate the Donald.
It's ridiculous.
The Donald.win is doing really, really well.
That's fine.
Stephen A. says, due to red triangles being racist, we must eliminate elevator panels.
Oh, gosh, yeah.
And no more yield signs.
I hope you guys have a good night. Seriously, man.
That's why I wonder if Trump did it on purpose.
Because he knew they would go after
some innocuous symbol that's an emoji.
And maybe they're trying to get the
emoji banned.
To just troll.
He is a professional troll.
And he does a good job.
Steven A says,
Scott Judd says, At what red. Oh, I'm sorry.
I read that one.
Scott Judd says, at what point can we start charging these crooked politicians and media outlets like Popular Mechanics with treason?
Let's do it, boys.
Tim Fowar.
Well, treason is specifically when they provide aid to an enemy.
So Popular Mechanics giving advice to commit a crime.
First Amendment.
Well, that's why they changed it from Chaz to Chop, because it's an occupied spot instead of autonomous.
Organized protest.
Yeah, they don't want it to be autonomous anymore.
Chaz was way cooler, you dorks.
I don't want to be autonomous, Mom.
Yeah.
Kaj Jack says,
For far too long, our tree of liberty has withered.
Now it will be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots alike.
Weak men have made hard times, but hard times forge strong men.
Hope you are ready.
It's coming, baby.
Look at the,
they're going to put a cop on death row in Atlanta.
I don't think so.
No, I'm just like,
they're threatening him with a charge
that could bring about the death penalty.
He's going to get off.
He's not going to get,
it's not going to work.
Yeah, it's not.
But the riots will happen.
The riot,
because these people don't know what they're talking about.
Yep.
Nathan says, Adam, can you imagine a Magic the Gathering set with a Dragonlance crossover?
I would love to see a black-red Raistlin Planeswalker.
I would highly recommend the Legends Trilogy and the Raistlin Chronicles from Dragonlance.
Well, no, they would start him as a red Planeswalker, and then they would release a different Planeswalker later on and he would be a Black Mage instead.
Because he starts in the middle
and then slowly kind of gets a little kooky as he goes along.
But honestly, I don't want it.
Because we're seeing what Wizards of the Coast is doing to Magic.
They're ruining it.
I don't want SJWs to get a hold of Dragonlance.
Dragonlance is awesome.
I love that series so much.
And man, I think they would ruin it.
They're going to have to ban so many magic cards.
Yeah, they are.
Do you want to grab the cards?
Because I have the reparations card.
Can you grab it?
I would grab it, but you're closer.
We have all the cards.
So I bought one card.
You're going to love this.
Watch this.
You're going to love this one.
He goes, I got reparations.
You don't need to take it off.
Because you can't see it, though.
Oh, that's right. Tim got reparations. Because there reparations on the front of it very weird oh oh there we go
can you see it can i get i don't know that's as close wait wait give it to me give it to me
go to go to lydia cam oh oh lydia cam there we go oh oh this looks way better
he's trying he's trying it's not it's not focusing no hello guys give me give me a shot
just try it just try it again so this card is called reparations the image is literally a
white man with a pot of gold and there's two black people he's handing the money to
and the card function is it's like it's like a meh card i wouldn't say it's completely worthless
but it's not that great it just basically basically says whenever your opponent targets you or one of your creatures, you can draw a card.
But the image is literally a blonde white man with his head down bowing to a bunch of money.
And there's two black people that he's giving it to.
This, in my opinion, is overtly racial.
I wouldn't call it racist, but I know the left would.
Racialized.
Wow. Yep. Sorry I burned down, but I know the left would. Racialized. Wow.
Yep.
Sorry I burned down your village.
Here's some gold.
Wow.
That's what it says on the card.
That's the flavor text at the bottom. Oh, my gosh.
Seriously?
Spicy.
Yeah.
And then I actually got like 80 of the Pradesh Gypsies.
Yeah, you did.
Because they're like a 10 cent card, but you can't get them anymore.
You sure did.
And these Crusades, man.
Yeah, you got an Alpha.
The original Alpha.
An Alpha one over there.
Alpha Crusade.
Beautiful.
And it's got a Templar Knight, so gotta go.
Gotta go.
That whole game is going to get nuked, man.
Yeah.
Seriously.
All right, where are we at?
H.H. Madsen says, hey folks, if you folks write Skull in the chat, I will donate free
beer the whole summer.
What is that?
I don't know what that is.
Skull.
What is it?
Cheers.
Oh, there you go.
What language is that?
I got you.
Swedish.
Oh, there you go.
Oh, okay.
Keith Wagner says, Joe Rogan podcast Tuesday with Jocko Willink.
It's Willink, right?
Discussed a Dwayne Johnson ticket with Willink VP listed as independents.
Have you seen it?
Thoughts?
If so.
Wow. That's amazing. I don't know enough about Dwayne thoughts if so wow that's amazing i don't know
enough about do i like jocko i don't know enough about dwayne johnson though he's been talking
about it for a while he's been saying some like democratic stuff though yeah he is like a moderate
way into the democratic way into it i mean from some of the stuff that i saw i was like oh my
yeah jocko is not political at all, though.
I don't know.
Might be just what we need.
Death is eternal, says the left like to say health care is a human right and taxpayer dollars should pay for health care.
Can we use that same logic?
I have the right to own firearms, so taxes should pay for our guns.
Yes.
But it's not even a joke.
You actually can.
People have been mentioning that that weapons should be subsidized by the government because it's a constitutional right that's why i said yes yeah yeah absolutely i'm
literally it's called universal firearms protection or universal yeah firearms
that is the craziest face lydia really wants us to be a thing when you turn when you turn 18
you can go to the g uh the the uh, the DG, the D.
Come on, spit it out, Tim.
I'm trying to create an acronym for this.
I'm going to make it up.
The Department of Gun Acquisition.
D-O-G-A.
The DGA.
Okay.
Where you show up and they have a whole bunch of guns in stock and ammo.
And you have to take a test like you do for the DMV.
Okay.
And you fill out signs.
You got to fill out what does this sign mean?
What does this one mean?
And, you know, at what range does this work? And, like, how do you, you know, unload this thing?
Safety.
Yeah.
And then after you pass the written test, you have to do the, you know, the physical portion of it where you walk up to the range and they make you fire.
And then they hand you your gun and they say, there you go.
You're now an American citizen.
But this is not to say that you need a license to buy the weapon it's just that if you want to acquire it from the government
they they make you go i mean that actually seriously that would be pretty pretty interesting
because then you have a ton of people who go through a training yeah now i'm not saying you
have to go to the training in order to buy a weapon at all you know you can you can do the
normal purchase like like whatever but you'd also have a gun acquisition department where you can
walk in and then once you pass the written exam they hand you a gun acquisition department where you can walk in.
And then once you pass the written exam, they hand you a gun.
Free of charge.
Free of charge.
Weapons administration program.
I'm half joking about it, but I think it's interesting that it's 2A.
I don't know.
We need to educate people.
Get more people trained and stuff.
Yeah, I like it.
All right.
Hedge says, thanks for actually having a conversation worth listening to.
Can't tell you how appreciated you are. I appreciate you appreciating me huh thank you and i do also
all that too quiet guitarist fan says can't watch tonight at work and a patient is watching cnn oh
sorry it's all fear-mongering garbage i can't help but smile and laugh like the joker anyway here are
monies for you can i ask lydia reasoning for her pro-life stance oh okay well like i was talking about
earlier the person behind planned parenthood is a literal eugenicist who gave the nazis ideas
so as far as i'm concerned that's not really a great argument for the entire premise of planned
parenthood and then my other argument well planned parenthood is way more than just being about pro
life i'm just saying they do so much more than just that right so the it was founded by a eugenicist who gave the nazis ideas so i really don't like that premise so i'm starting
with that i don't like the idea of eugenics i don't like the idea that over half of the black
babies in new york city were aborted in 2018 i don't know if anybody knows that but as far as
i'm concerned that's a black people should be up in arms about that that is a serious
problem and we need to address why that happens and we need to look at black fathers and we need
to look at the entire culture in large cities and that's part of my stance i think it's because
democrats are racists yeah i think you might be right yeah i think so and i'm not saying that to
praise republicans i think the republicans literally are just sitting on their hands
so yeah yeah man i I'm from Chicago.
And I was talking to someone I know from Chicago and they were defending the Democrats.
And I'm like, what is wrong with you, dude?
Have you ever stopped to think about all the messed up stuff that we went through?
Like we once had the mayor come to our come to our neighborhood and promises all this great stuff.
We raised all this money.
And then they just left, got the photo op and then just left us high and dry.
Like, I'm not going to get into the details of it.
But I actually had a park call the cops on me.
After I was skating at a park I helped build.
Like, I campaigned and the mayor came down.
And then as soon as he was gone, they were like, get out of here.
And that was Chicago and that was the Democrats.
So the Republicans didn't mean anything to me.
I don't know what they're doing.
It was the Democrats running Chicago who were giving me the business.
All right, let's see.
The Grizzly says,
Please read the official Dungeons & Dragons Wizard of the Coast post.
They're getting rid of orcs in Dungeons & Dragons because of what they represent.
They're also getting rid of all stats and abilities.
Wow.
What?
Is that true?
Did we miss that?
Oh, man.
I don't believe that.
They didn't say they were getting rid of orcs, did they?
No, they were saying orcs are just as culturally diverse as humans.
Okay.
And dark elves.
The dro is dark elves.
Okay, listen.
Come on.
Student of History says George Washington Carver, the man who invented peanut butter, not true.
Oh, no?
Not true at all.
Lies.
No, he did invent a ton of things around the peanuts, my understanding.
Yeah, he helped with their development.
I do believe he helped popularize.
You're still the student of history.
Still learning.
Yep, yep.
I read that it was a French guy.
French guy, a long time before he invented peanut butter.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's just what I heard, maybe.
All right, let's jump down.
Let's see what we got.
What do we got?
Mr. Wombat says, These dopes calling for dismantling of police should be careful.
If they think fire and emergency medical services are responding to a scene not secured by law
enforcement, they just might be in for a rude awakening. I can attest to this because my family,
my dad was a firefighter, and I heard the stories from these guys.
They pull up on an ambulance assist, and there's a guy bleeding out out and there's gangbangers in Chicago and they got guns.
And the EMTs and the firefighters are sitting in their cars like, nope, I'm not getting out.
Sorry.
And the people are like, you got to help them.
They're like, nope, not as long as you're here.
Yeah.
An EMT worker hit me up earlier today and said, you know, we don't go onto a scene until the cops have secured it.
We will not do that.
So all these people that are going to get shot, if there's no cops, there's no EMT worker who would want to help.
So that's a classic case of securing your own oxygen mask before you try to help someone else.
Because if you can't protect your EMTs, how are you going to go rescue people who collapse on the sidewalk?
Dude, people don't get the importance of police, man. Or the civilization
that we've built. Seriously. It's like there's... Society. Yeah, society
as a whole sure has some issues that we need to correct.
Absolutely agree. But as a whole, we are
in a great situation that everyone's taking it for granted.
No, no, no. no i'm sorry that's not
right not everybody not everyone takes it for granted i don't no i don't i can speak for myself
yeah i i appreciate what i have for sure whoa check this out 1991 shadowheart says hey tim for
what it's worth the liberalists fb page got zucked overnight liberalists down under are in chaos and
other pages are prepping
backups it feels like a bigger thing as like-minded pages are getting zucked as well stay safe man
that's crazy yep man they're just if you they want to eliminate the left that is sane and rational
yep they don't like you they want you gone larry goddard says if garrett rolf gets convicted of
felony murder i feel i feel that
there will be a mass resignation from every police officer across the country what cop is going to
want to respond to any call involving a young black man seriously well i was thinking about that
where we live we got good cops yeah we live in a small town in the suburbs yeah and our department
we have nothing but respect like i've i've i've only ever been
taken care of like i've some of them live in our neighborhood yeah i've i so i had one issue where
i was like i wanted to skate super early in the morning i just call them up like howdy and i'm
like i'm like hey how's it going i'm just wondering and we just talked and it was just that simple no
issues no wait times no lines no queries it's literally cop answers the phone how's it going
how's it going and i've asked some pretty funny questions like just out of the blue like how big
could a building be in our town and then the cop i literally asked him this and he and he's like uh
i don't think we have a regulation for that and i was like so i could build a skyscraper and he goes
i think you can i started laughing and i was like, I'm not really going to do it.
And then he laughed and he was like,
yeah, there's no restriction, man.
I mean, no one's ever asked me that before.
Well, Tim, that sounds an awful lot like white privilege.
I don't know.
And you are white in this situation specifically.
Yeah, whenever I'm having a good interaction with police,
I'm white.
And any bad interaction is because I'm mixed race.
I swear that's what they would say.
But that's the thing why would our
cops walk off the job because
of Atlanta
we like them
we can literally walk in
hey guys and they're like hey how's it going
it's that easy and so when you're in
New York I've dealt with MIPD not fun
no I agree yeah really bad
big city cops are very very different
Democrat city cops oh yeah man
it's democrat cities yeah so that's what they voted for man police yeah i don't know
yeah well let's read some more super chats uh nava down under says atlanta da according to the ajc
is under criminal investigation by the gbi for allegedly taking at least $140,000
in Atlanta taxpayer dollars
to supplement his salary through his nonprofit.
Yes, indeed.
Get rid of the guy.
Seriously, get him out.
Get him out.
He's going to burn your city down.
This is insane.
That's causing war.
Right.
Let's see.
GSO59 says,
they don't like civil liberty symbols
because they don't want civil liberty.
Definitely.
Snafu says,
dungeons and dragons and dumb with some red
triangles is the red triangle emoji gonna be a thing now i think it is absolutely it is now that
you just said it it's gonna start spamming well no no they're already no i mean like you see the
chat before oh no i know that's what i'm saying yeah there we go yep that's the thing thumbs up
okay signs and red triangles oh geez it's an emoji It's an emoji. Why do they have emojis that are Nazi symbols?
Oh, gosh.
Because they're not.
Because they're not.
They have a no girls symbol still.
That's right.
What the heck?
Did you know this?
What?
Facebook, okay, has a circle with a line through it, and in the circle is a woman.
It's a girl.
That's it.
That's it.
That's wonderful. So I jokingly changed the emojis with several of my friends who are female to the no girls allowed.
Okay.
Just so that instead of doing a thumbs up, I just hit the no girls allowed.
Why do they have this emoji?
Why?
I think it's awesome.
No girls allowed.
I don't know.
I forget what it means, but I think it's awesome.
Look at the red triangles.
I told you.
Look at that.
Oh, geez, man.
Our chat is the best. I know, right? We have fun here on TimCast IRL, I guess. Well, I know I do.'s awesome. Look at the red triangles. I told you. Look at that. Oh, geez, man. Our chat is the best.
I know, right?
We have fun here on Timcast IRL, I guess.
Well, I know I do.
We do, yes.
Let's see.
Zoivod says, the left hates America because some were held back from being able to take
advantage of all that America offers.
But as we progress, we are removing those barriers.
Hopefully, America survives long enough for these people to realize it's for them, too.
Yes.
I've certainly realized it.
Boom. That's for them too. Yes. I've certainly realized it. Boom.
That's a good question.
The Grizzly says,
Hey guys, I've got a game that's a replacement for both Warhammer and D&D.
It's called Kings of War and Vanguard.
It's a game that uses fantasy models and scale from D&D RPG
to full-scale Warhammer RTS war battles.
It was created by ex-Warhammer employees.
That's cool.
Very cool.
I've heard of Vanguard.
Is that the same?
I'm not sure if it is or not, but that's cool yeah i've heard of vanguard that is that the same i'm not sure if it is or not
but uh that's cool caleb field says steven crowder is dropping a new change my mind next week america
is not racist to change my mind also he choked out his audio guy on his show tonight when
demonstrating a proper choke hold i figured he would did he pass out that's what i want to know
i i believe he did i don't know did he yeah wow yeah so what i what know. I believe he did. I don't know. Did he? Yeah. Wow.
Yeah.
So what I heard was that he did and then immediately came to and they were like, all right, you're okay, man.
And he goes, yeah, I'm fine.
What do you mean?
Oh, okay.
He just immediately just came right back.
Good, good, good.
Oh, my goodness.
A proper chokehold.
That sounds like a Crowder episode.
Yeah, it sure does.
Waterboarding.
Did he do that?
Yeah, he did that.
He said it's fine.
He did it to himself.
Crowder's crazy.
Yeah.
Oh, what a boss, though. I love it. fine. He did it to himself. Crowder's crazy. Yeah, he is.
Oh, what a boss, though.
I love it.
Villa Music Dude says,
Guys, check your Instagram accounts.
I sent a warning video from 1969.
A warning from Edward G. Griffin showing how communist countries
use race destabilization
to occupy police and National Guard
with civil violence
so that planned violence can occur.
Ooh.
Yikes, man.
Interesting.
This does seem awfully planned, doesn't it?
Wow, dude.
Here, check it out.
Vincent Keegan says, Joe Rogan had an interview with Hotep Jesus a year ago. Check it out
on his podcast. Watched it the other day
and didn't realize he was Raz.
He is a great man. Wait, that he
was Raz? No, he's not Raz. No, Hotep
isn't Raz. Hotep had an interview
with Raz today, earlier on his
podcast. Yeah.
So, yeah, it was a good conversation.
Villa Music Dude also says,
I feel that unfortunately it's too late to turn back.
The culture war is lost.
And what we can only do now is slow down the inevitable.
To change it at this point requires resurfacing of patriotic values institutionally,
but it will take many years.
Dare I say I agree.
We have an entire generation of people who have an insane worldview that can't
be mended. They say the same thing about Trump supporters, but that's not true. And there's no
way to solve that. So I say this as somebody who never is not a Trump flag-waving, MAGA hat-wearing
individual. It's funny because during Occupy Wall Street, I conservatives you know mocking me in my chats and stuff like that
and then I would defend free speech
and they'd be like oh well okay then
that was it I'm like I don't care you can tell me all you want
and they were like oh
once the left started going insane
the left turned on me and I actually
talked to an Antifa guy who I've known for a really long time
and he said what I didn't realize
is that they were exploiting me and people like me
who were stupid enough to allow them to gain power. I'm not kidding. I literally
told me this saying that, that, you know, when we talked about nonviolent civil disobedience and all
those things, they just used us because we promoted them enough to get them to a point where they
could have actual cultural relevance. And they've always believed in using violence. And now, now
we're in their way. So we're out out i swear it is what's in this guy's
like you know relatively prominent but oh man i think you've got a whole generation now of people
so uh the example i use is often it's like a friend of mine who used to be a really you know
really nice person who would sit down and talk with you posting insane things that aren't true
and there is nothing you can do to show them a video. It's like I have a video
showing a man turn and point a weapon at an officer. And you can argue he still shouldn't
have died. And that's a fair conversation. Many people disagree. Conservatives show the video of
the tasers on the highway, but they won't even watch the video. They'll say straight up. I refuse.
You're a liar. Propaganda. I was in San Bernardino. There was a protest between, it was like an Antifa versus
Trump supporter thing. And when I walked over with my camera to the far left side and I started
asking people if they want to do an interview, one of the organizers started chanting, mic check,
and then started chanting, do not talk to them. Do not talk to them. And then whenever I was
trying to talk to them, they would look past me and just start mindlessly chanting.
And I'm like,
that's cool.
Yep.
It's,
it's a cult defense technique to make sure no one can hear any conflicting
ideas or be woken up from the cult they're in.
Yep.
That's what I find.
It's really funny.
They're called woke because they're actually being put to sleep.
That's funny.
Yeah.
You're right.
They're being lulled into a false,
you know,
world.
And the red pill is when you wake up from the lies of the media and have
to decide for yourself
oh trust me tim i know oh no this is a funny because we had this conversation because you've
mentioned that like i've opened your eyes or i've red pilled you no no no i did it to myself i i do
my research i read a lot i've i watch i just i just meant like you coming here yeah and then
starting to do your research well i mean I mean, you gave me this job.
You called me up one day and you were like, you want to do this podcast with me?
And I was like, yes, of course I do.
That sounds like a lot of fun.
But I bring this up because earlier today when the Dungeons and Dragons thing happened and the magic,
I was like, you realize that whether I called you or not, like you would be in all of this already.
That's true.
So what's crazy about that is how it's activating regular people who
normally weren't involved in politics.
Because like if you'd be
hanging out with your buddies playing Magic and all of a sudden
all these cards ban for being racist, you'd be like, what?
What is happening? And then Dungeons and
Dragons comes out and says, orcs gotta go.
You'd be like, whoa. Whoa, whoa. They're not
getting rid of orcs. They're making
them peaceful people
that you can relate to because
everyone has feelings. Okay. They're supposed to be the monsters.
Everyone gets participation trophies. That's right. Everybody gets a trophy. But not the
people who are going into our meme contest.
This is the only trophy. This is the trophy we're giving away
tomorrow.
We're going to give away a couple of these boards.
We're going to pick a winner for your participation.
No. No.
No, Tim.
Bad, Tim.
No.
It is not a participation trophy.
And if you don't know, if you weren't here earlier when I was announcing this, this is
the board that I'm going to be giving away.
Well, we're all giving it away.
We're going to sign them.
Go to my Twitter right here.
Where am I at? There we're gonna sign them go to go to my uh go to my twitter right here uh where am i at there we go yeah there you go and you can hit me up and make a meme with the
harumph i say graphic that i've got posted on the meme or on the tweet and you can find it we're
gonna sign it and uh tomorrow we'll uh show you who won yes and we're gonna pick a winner and you
can pick your own winner by liking whichever one you like the most on that post and i'll give you
i'll give you some advice at least as it pertains to the meme i may pick the harumph i say thing that i do is a
reference to the snooty elitists who are shocked when you know you know here's the best example
did you ever see that family guy skit about past the all fruit you know i'm talking about
so family guy did this joke there's an 80s commercial i guess where it's a bunch of rich
people and they're like can you you pass the Palmer's all fruit?
And then they pass this jar.
And then it finally comes to some like redneck guy.
And he goes, can you pass the jelly?
And then they all faint.
And like, oh, like the butler's fanning the woman.
So Family Guy did a joke about that.
And then they were like, they stopped after the joke.
And then Peter says, we realize that our viewers under 40 have no idea what the reference to this joke was.
So let me explain it to you. And then they do a commentary on the joke that's the harumph i say donald trump is the guy saying pass the jelly and all of the
snooty ivory tower people are going oh all fruit all fruit to the jelly yep clutching their pearls
yep so that's so what i would be looking for in a good meme is the Haram Faisal alongside some kind of elitist shock.
Whatever that might be, like them being hypocritical and shocked that the peasants are rising up or resisting or rejecting the media or something like that.
So should we all pick our own favorites?
That's what we're going to do, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, I mean, we kind of never really talked about it.
Yeah, we didn't really like it.
So it's the most liked one.
The most liked one.
And then we each choose our favorite.
All right.
That sounds awesome.
Perfect.
So if you want to cater to Tim, I mean, now you only have one day left.
Make it happen.
But yeah, we're going to scroll through and pick our favorites tomorrow.
It's going to be fun.
I'm excited.
And then don't forget, you can also go to timcast.com slash donate.
There's a P.O. box. And. And then don't forget, you can also go to timcast.com slash donate. There's a P.O. box.
And if you want to send stuff, you can.
But if you also include in whatever you send a message about the board, we're going to randomly pick one of the letters we get.
Just say, I want the board.
Probably, this one's probably got to be next week.
No, no, no.
Next week we're going to do the art contest.
Yeah, so it could be two weeks.
I'm saying we'll pick the winner next week for this one with the letter simply because we need people to have time to actually mail something.
Well, that's why I was going to say maybe not next week because that'll be the art contest.
By the way, I just started a new contest today
basically making some art about our show.
Yeah, about our show. And you can submit it
again on my twitter twitter account and
just uh just whatever you feel shows us as timcast irl what we do here make an art about it we're
gonna show it on uh next friday's show and that'll be that so then the mail-in thing i mean i feel
like we should have that go running for like a month maybe you know, to give people time. We could talk about it often.
Yeah.
You know, send us something.
And then we can collect the letters.
If you're sending us anything, you know, just put it in there.
I would love a piece of that sweet harumph board action.
Yes.
So get your submissions in for the meme contest before tomorrow at 7pm Eastern Time. I'm going to
cut it then because we're going to discuss
who should be winning.
And then we'll do
the art contest next Friday.
And also tomorrow is our jam night
and you're not recording this weekend
and it's been a while since you played. I believe
three weeks. Oh, you're
playing a song. People want to hear you
play a song. I know yeah. People want to hear you play a song. That's right.
I know I do anyway.
Maybe I'll back up, sing on one of your songs.
Oh, that'd be fun.
Yeah, maybe we'll jam it out.
That'd be so cool.
Tomorrow night, we always wrap up with a good little show.
So for now, there's one very important thing you must do.
Smash the like button.
Smash, smash, smash.
And there are a couple other buttons you can smash.
Smash.
If you can keep your wits about you for just a moment,
you may smash that subscribe button.
Smash.
And that notification bell.
Smash it.
And share.
And, well, it's 10, so that usually means we're getting ready for Betty Buy.
We have a hot, fresh loaf of bread prepared.
Oh, I'm excited.
So I don't know if you guys know this.
I don't know if we've ever mentioned it, but we have an automatic bread machine.
Yes.
All you do is throw everything in and then press start.
All you do.
I'm a master at my skill.
Then by the time the show is done, there is a hot, fresh loaf of bread.
Talk about privilege.
Privilege.
Yeah.
We take some flour and some sugar and some yeast and some herbs and then boom.
White bread privilege.
White bread privilege.
So we're going to go slice into
that delicious white bread, but thanks for hanging out. Seriously,
if you want to subscribe to the show, we do the show
live every Monday through Friday
at 8 p.m. and we put clips up the next day.
So stick around because we will be back
tomorrow at 8 p.m.

see you all then. Good night, everybody. Bye, guys.
