00:02:02.000I felt like at these particular rallies in New York this weekend, we were drifting away from police brutality as a subject, from George Floyd, and just getting into vandalism, looting, and self-indulgence.
00:04:12.000We were trying to get the stuff away from the looters and refocus them on what this is really about, which is police brutality and institutionalized white supremacy.
00:04:26.000We did all that without machines, too, by the way.
00:04:33.000And I think the first thing we can do as white people or Japanese Puerto Ricans is to Google white supremacy, Google white privilege, Google systemic racism.
00:04:45.000Let me just tell you, I have to take this off.
00:04:50.000Make sure when you use the thumbnail for this, Rye guy, you get me with my coat on and fuck me with my heels on.
00:05:06.000Yeah, let me just explain to you what systemic racism is.
00:05:09.000It means that in the hood, in the ghetto, right, you go to shitty schools because they don't get funded, and then you don't get an education, then you can't get a job, and then you're forced to get into gang stuff, gang violence, just to live.
00:05:32.000Look at this obesity epidemic happening in our studio.
00:05:45.000So obviously, the what's the word I'm looking for?
00:05:49.000Predilections, the prerequisites for this theory are one, black schools don't get any funding.
00:06:00.000That's a tough one to prove, I'm afraid.
00:06:03.000Two, if you're in East New York and you just show up for school and get Cs and pass everything, is it possible to get a city college education, which is, by the way, worth three grand?
00:06:18.000So is it possible to get a $3,000 education?
00:07:05.000You have maybe if you learned anything like in tax, any kind of accountancy shit, you are fucking going to be in the front window of every corporation in the world.
00:07:16.000So I guess what I'm doing here is I'm abandoning our little sketch and I am saying that systemic racism is not a thing.
00:07:24.000And another sort of metric that they used to prove that we live in a horrible racist place is they say, well, blacks are doing badly.
00:07:35.000And they kind of assume that the schools aren't getting funding.
00:07:37.000The schools are getting plenty funded.
00:07:52.000Talk to teachers who are in East New York, and you'll find that no one is trying.
00:07:58.000This is my problem with white privilege.
00:08:00.000It trivializes all the hard work I do with my kids.
00:08:03.000First of all, it trivializes the fact that I worked at Sunny's gas station in Bridlewood, Canada, Ontario, in 1984, and have been working non-stop ever since.
00:08:34.000So I was trying to see, okay, what about this girl, you know, busting my ass to make sure that she's socializing and my boys are off the screens, not staring at the TV.
00:08:42.000You trivialize all that when you give them white privilege.
00:08:45.000And furthermore, you trivialize my father's hard work.
00:08:52.000My dad grew up in the slums of Glasgow.
00:08:55.000His toes look like this because he didn't have shoes.
00:09:24.000They got him an education in physics, busted his ass working.
00:09:29.000He would stay up all night drawing microchips back when they were hand-drawn, drawing these massive spreadsheets of microchips back when they were just like starting to get serious about making computers.
00:09:40.000My dad built some computers that were like as big as this bookshelf and they could do two plus two is three type of thing.
00:09:46.000I have these pictures of him in bell bottoms next to these fucking fridges, these monster machines.
00:09:52.000They look like generators for a building and they could do basically multiplication.
00:12:50.000Anyway, you don't often hear other groups talking about the past and looking into the future like it's some sort of inevitable albatross around your neck.
00:14:07.000We would court these advertisers like Toyota or something, get them right about ready to bite, and then they'd go, oh, you're too controversial.
00:14:14.000And you had that horrible article about slavery.
00:14:17.000We're going to go to the politically correct ego trip.
00:14:19.000And because it was black-owned, it was considered politically correct.
00:14:32.000And this is what I was saying on Friday's show.
00:14:34.000We had a Peironi's disease 45-degree shift in American culture in 1968 when Martin Luther King was assassinated.
00:14:40.000We said, we are sorry, let's fix this.
00:14:44.000This week, we had another 45-degree shift where an America that you don't see on the news or on TV, which is the vast majority, the people not out looting, have said, yeah, no.
00:18:46.000And when Israel built the wall, terrorism went to zero and the local Arabs said it was offensive and the international community frowns at this.
00:20:51.000This is like Chris Cuomo when that bright guy was talking to him.
00:20:55.000From now on, all criers have to show me their eyes.
00:20:58.000Like when we were on that hike and that meth head started going, so I wouldn't realize that he punched his old lady off a hill and she didn't fall.
00:21:08.000Ironically, it made me realize that that's what he had done, but it took me until 20 minutes later.
00:21:13.000Look at them standing there like this.
00:21:14.000It's almost like the black Hebrew Israelites when they have someone kiss their boots.
00:22:05.000Meanwhile, you better not educate yourself because if you look up systemic racism, school funding, charter schools, fathers in the home, all of this stuff, you're going to realize that in 2020, you're responsible for your own plight.
00:22:18.000There's a great argument for the 40s, 50s, and 60s, 70s, right up until the 70s.
00:24:40.000But they're not even speaking the same language.
00:24:42.000She said defund the police, which I have no idea what that means.
00:24:47.000I have an idea for defunding the police.
00:24:48.000How about you kill the slush fund that they have, the hundreds of millions that MIPD puts aside for all these bullshit cases of police brutality?
00:32:08.000You know, I've been thinking a lot about culture and society and how backwards it is and how white people are the problem and how our history is the problem.
00:32:20.000Today, America is obsessed with banning the Confederate flag, and that's a good thing because the Confederate flag means that black people are grandma.
00:35:22.000The self-styled comedian reportedly tweeted that the Civil War was not about slavery and in 2013 went on an anti-feminist rant on Fox News's Hannity.
00:36:38.000And I thought, I don't see the problem there.
00:36:40.000I'm a libertarian within America, within people playing by the rules.
00:36:45.000You know, if you're playing a game of soccer and other people can just run on the field and start kicking the ball, that's not the game anymore.
00:37:18.000I don't want to fight its wars, but it's our ally, and it's a Western country in the middle of hell.
00:37:24.000So we should help it, protect it, defend it, work with them.
00:37:30.000It's great to have an ally in the middle of hell called the Middle East, but don't go fighting wars all over the Middle East on their behalf.
00:40:57.000Why do you think they sign up to be cops for the power?
00:41:00.000Like the version, Fleckis was telling me, he was arguing with the liberal the other day, and they go, how many unarmed black men do you think police shoot every year?
00:41:07.000And the guy goes, they always get mad, by the way, when you say this.
00:44:24.000If I was smarter and I had more time and I had a team of 14 people, we would parse through this and watch it about 10 times and find all the problems.
00:44:32.000We're more off-the-cuff kind of brothers.
00:44:35.000So I'm going to watch this with you the first time together.
00:44:42.000By the way, just for the record, everyone is freaking out about this.
00:44:46.000John Oliver is a fucking nerd, drama club kid who got beat up in high school.
00:44:51.000And now he's finally got a haircut and a show.
00:44:56.000And I still see this fucking horrible nerd.
00:45:00.000And apparently at the end of this, he starts crying.
00:45:03.000And I think, like, he lives in Midtown.
00:45:06.000And the idea that this guy can relate to anyone in Flatbush or East New York or Washington Heights or Harlem or Bushwick or Bedstead, he's never been to those fucking places.
00:45:25.000He doesn't know the difference between Dominicans and Puerto Ricans and how they behave and what gangs They are.
00:45:30.000He doesn't know what DDP is or Trinitarios or how many bloods there are in New York, how many crips there are, what their initiation is, where they live, what their lifestyle is, what eat your lunch means, which is cut someone's face, a random stranger's face.
00:45:46.000Great way to get initiated into the bloods.
00:45:48.000He doesn't understand the culture of fourth-generation welfare.
00:45:52.000Imagine your grandfather had never had a job, nor your, I'm not going to say your dad because he's not around, nor your mom, nor your aunts and uncles.
00:47:11.000And look, we're going to do something a little bit different tonight.
00:47:14.000Our whole show is actually going to be about one thing.
00:47:17.000And you probably know what, and you probably know why.
00:47:19.000Because all week long, protesters have continued to fill the streets in all 50 states in the wake of the horrific murder of George Floyd by the police.
00:47:27.000And in response to those protests, which have been a stirring push...
00:47:31.000We haven't, with the autopsy, said heart attack from fentanyl.
00:47:34.000He could have had a heart attack from the confrontation.
00:48:57.000And when you extrapolate that to the rest of the Muslim world, which is more radical than American Muslims, it ends up being hundreds of millions of people.
00:49:05.000So yes, John, it's possible that a little can be a lot.
00:49:08.000A small percentage of a very big thing is a very large amount.
00:49:25.000And look, if they are trying to convince the public they're not guilty of displaying excessive force, it's probably not a good idea to repeatedly display excessive force on national television, including in this city, where Mayor de Blasio praised them for their tremendous restraint, and Governor Cuomo threatened to send in the National Guard.
00:50:42.000My friend in the NYPD speaks about what's really happening in New York.
00:50:59.000Like, if it's not excessive force, then New York City wouldn't be boarded up.
00:51:07.000Why am I seeing so many buildings, so many cars, so many small businesses totally gutted if the police and the National Guard were using excessive force?
00:51:18.000Isn't the damage you see proof that there was not excessive force, not enough force?
00:51:25.000Are my lion eyes up to their old tricks again?
00:52:46.000Recently said that I couldn't wait to go back to hating Andrew Cuomo again.
00:52:49.000I didn't think the opportunity would come quite this soon.
00:52:52.000And these protesters have received a great deal of support, with massive marches taking place all around the world.
00:52:59.000And the protester's message has taken many forms, from chants to signs, to a man who called into an LA police commission meeting held over Zoom.
00:53:08.000Now, he'd been given 30 seconds, which he used with maximum efficiency to deliver a message for police chief Michael Moore.
00:53:14.000I find it disgusting that the LAPD is slaughtering peaceful protesters on the street.
00:53:18.000I had two friends go to the protest in Beverly Hillson a couple of days ago, and the protest was peaceful, and so the police showed up with their excessive violent force, shooting rubber bullets and throwing tear gas.
00:53:28.000Is this what you think of protecting and serving?
00:54:36.000After he's finished unloading on that police chief, he yields his time, realizes he still has a couple of seconds left, so and throws in a bonus, fuck you.
00:54:45.000Now, as for the president himself, he murdered to get excited about fucking bunker, later claiming he wasn't hiding, he was actually just inspecting it.
00:54:53.000Then his attorney general had police gas protesters outside the White House so that Trump could have an inexplicable photo op at a nearby church.
00:55:01.000This is another fucking thing that drives me nuts.
00:55:04.000So there's protesters everywhere, all over DC.
00:57:13.000So writing Black Lives Matter does look really cool, I'll admit, for one day.
00:57:19.000And you're about to have your message desecrated for years.
00:57:23.000Soon it's just going to be peeling up and there won't be the L and the K will be completely gone and there'll be like a dirty M where someone spilled paint off a truck.
00:57:41.000Ticket for his sandwich order that was just called.
00:57:43.000He also, in church, while holding up a Bible like it's the ticket for his sandwich order that was just called, he also, in announcing job numbers on Friday, invoked George Floyd's name saying this was a great day for him, which is utterly fucking disgusting.
00:58:02.000He was talking about the job recovery rate.
00:58:05.000And he was talking about how America shows that it's recovering from this horrible catastrophe, from all these riots, from all these devastation.
00:58:13.000Do you think George Floyd wants it to keep getting worse?
00:59:08.000Nor are we, unlike some in cable news, going to dwell on the incidents of looting that occurred, except to say, if you've said the name Macy's more than you've said the name Breonna Taylor this week, you can very much fuck off.
00:59:19.000Likewise, if you're asking why a spontaneous of the cops recorded of that incident, she was clearly looking to die by cop.
00:59:52.000And by the way, I can fuck off for not mentioning Brianna Taylor.
00:59:55.000How about all the cops who have been killed and stabbed, including by a Muslim terrorist who said Alua Akbar as he stabbed a cop in the neck, a Serbian radical Islamicist?
01:01:38.000A cop in New York is responsible for a cop's bad behavior in London, but at your riot, your looters are none of your beeswax.
01:01:44.000But isn't he also saying he's like, you can't lump in the looters with all the protesters, just like you don't like we loot in the bad cops with all cops.
01:01:53.000Okay, so that's the end of your video then.
01:02:54.000But basically every single story that they put up here, I'm like, yep, we should talk about that on the show, that on the show, that on the show.
01:07:33.000And then finally he said worm, and his voice coach went.
01:07:36.000It's like fucking Marcus Epstein when we told him, I know you were a brutal alcoholic, but when you tell people the story, you have to stop saying liquo because you can't pronounce your R's.
01:08:00.000Then I saw these facts on IMDb, including Michael Jackson and Corey Feldman being involved in production.
01:08:04.000I'm convinced he is at least pedo-light.
01:08:08.000Yeah, well, we brought up a lot of different possibilities, including one where he doesn't know that he's a pedophile and he doesn't realize that he spilt his, he laid out his cards in that movie.
01:08:18.000Spielberg shot most of the film from the eye level of a child to further connect with E.T., i.e.
01:09:11.000Steven Spielberg asked Michael Jackson and Quincy Donston to contribute a song for the E.T. storybook album.
01:09:16.000Spielberg was so pleased with their song, Someone in the Dark, that he asked them to make the entire album, which in spite of the size of the task, they agreed to do.
01:12:08.000So he's got a much better sentence because Trump derangement syndrome wasn't full on back then.
01:12:14.000But he's meant to be out, I believe, in November.
01:12:18.000By the way, someone sent him a letter.
01:12:20.000They must have got his address from the show.
01:12:21.000If you don't have your return address, they won't give it to him.
01:12:25.000So here he is sending a pink notice from the Illinois Department of Corrections and Jacksonville Correctional Center saying that no sender's name or address.
01:13:42.000It was almost a cruel and unusual punishment.
01:13:45.000They had me sign the papers, accepting house arrest and everything, only to be denied by the state at the last second.
01:13:51.000I also was denied up to six months of supplemental sentence credit due to the nature of my crime, even though I did not get charged with great bodily harm.
01:14:00.000And then he says GBHLOL, because that's a punk band and we're both into punk and that's an inside joke.
01:14:04.000And it was a class three crime, which is not that bad.
01:14:08.000I got enrolled in a vocational class, which can earn me a few weeks off my sentence.
01:14:12.000Hopefully some more classes will become available and I can get them done in a timely manner.
01:14:56.000You shouldn't have started a totally innocent men's club that defends Christians from attack.
01:15:00.000You shouldn't have taken Antifa up on their offer to fight.
01:15:04.000You should have just, when Antifa threatened you, you should have just sat there and let the bottles of piss bounce off you.
01:15:08.000That's what people are saying when they say Proud Boys was a mistake.
01:15:15.000It's like if you got arrested during the American Revolution and said, I told you to stay away from those patriots and stop blaspheming the king.
01:17:04.000The people in the clip speak English the whole time.
01:17:07.000As an ethnic Swede who takes it upon himself to represent the whole Swedish nation and proclaims, we have not been good at taking care of you, meaning black people in Sweden.
01:17:15.000Soon a fight breaks out between a man and a woman from the Black Lives Matter.
