00:00:39.000She's a Seattle rapper who just recorded her video in a boat show.
00:00:56.000I thought that song was cool because, you know, rap is so repetitive and unadventurous, especially this new sort of lazy, what's it called, trap stuff.
00:01:07.000And then she takes Disney classical, whatever, band music, and adds her raps to that.
00:02:14.000I got to research when the next one is.
00:02:15.000I really want to focus on fake news, though, because it's getting, I don't want to use the word depressing because that's depressing, but it's getting to be a concern when so much of what they put out there, including books,
00:02:33.000including the ex-executive editor of the New York Times, writes a piece of absolute garbage where the chapters about me and Vice, I counted 20 major errors, including Vice was started because they got a grant from Haiti.
00:09:54.000Like, what if he was being serious there?
00:09:55.000Am I supposed to say, hi, how's it going?
00:09:57.000That's what I meant in that article I wrote years ago, Transphobia is Perfectly Natural, about how, come on, the idea that we're just like, oh, hi, Jill, how's it going?
00:14:53.000We don't encourage them to be entrepreneurs.
00:14:55.000The whole culture of lemonade stands is get out there, do something, talk to people, deal with business, give change.
00:15:03.000All those little things are kind of a way of saying to your kids, capitalism is cool.
00:15:08.000And in an era where Alexandria Orquezio-Cortez is telling everyone that socialism is cool and it's working, it's nice to see someone saying, no, actually, making money, exchanging money, giving change is cool.
00:15:22.000Kids to sell lemonade at lemonade stands.
00:15:48.000No, but I'm really excited and happy to see that.
00:15:50.000Remember, John Stossel did something in New York where he tried to sell lemonade, and he was allowed to set up the stand.
00:15:56.000He was allowed to have the lemonade, and he could exchange money, I believe, as long as he gave the money back and they didn't touch their lips.
00:17:32.000You can fistfight them and just kill them, or they can bring weapons and pepper spray you and smash you in the back of the head with a lock or a stick.
00:17:41.000It's not really the ideal fighting scenario.
00:17:44.000You either get stabbed from behind or you beat up some child with skinny arms because his professor dad never taught him anything about sports.
00:17:53.000Yeah, I do not miss those guys at all.
00:18:24.000What, you got a Harley behind you there?
00:18:27.000Yeah, it's a Softail Slim S. It's a limited edition World War II messenger bike that they kind of did.
00:18:34.000It's got the OD green, the beige, you know, Army star to it, and then it's got a leather satchel where you would hold the messages to deliver, you know, on enemy lines or whatever.
00:18:45.000It's pretty gnarly, but I added some custom pipes and shit like that.
00:18:49.000You know, I think that was the origin of Cool.
00:18:52.000The World War II vets came back to small-town America, and they had their motorcycles.
00:18:57.000They were riding all over North Africa, and they were badasses, and they've seen death and violence and had prostitutes, and they've lived life.
00:19:05.000And then they come back, and everyone's a nerd, and they think they go rebel without a cause, and the wild ones, they get leather jackets, and they get into trouble.
00:19:12.000And the next thing you know, you have biker gangs and tough guys.
00:19:17.000Yeah, I live like right in the middle of all that in Daytona Beach.
00:19:20.000I mean, you've got the Outlaw Motorcycle Club, you've got the Nomads, you've got everybody.
00:19:25.000I mean, this is like the pinnacle of outlaw motorcycle gang territory.
00:21:35.000I mean, mushrooms, on the other hand, I think that's an amazing experience.
00:21:38.000And yeah, I mean, the things you think about, the things, the conversations you have, the places you go, the way that you look at stuff in an, you know, at a way that you never would have thought about looking at something, it really expands a lot.
00:21:50.000I mean, hey, I'm not saying I've ever done it, but I've definitely done it.
00:21:54.000Well, also, it gives you this mental strength.
00:21:56.000Like, if I have hiccups, I'll just go, I don't want these anymore.
00:22:53.000I mean, all these experiences like that, I mean, that definitely changes your outlook on stuff too.
00:22:57.000I mean, once you've kind of been to the edge, you know, the rest of your life, you're kind of either okay with it or you're trying to chase that again.
00:23:07.000And I've kind of find myself trying to chase that now.
00:23:10.000Like I'm always trying to push the limits to get myself back to that exhilarating moment, that rush of almost dying.
00:23:19.000I think the closest I got to it was spending like a month in Ferguson when I was being shot at by both the cops and the, you know, the freaking locals and stuff.
00:23:27.000And being in the middle of that filming that, you know, and Maltov cocktails going over your head and shit like that.
00:23:34.000I mean, I won't lie, but still, that'll never be as close as to being in a vehicle and being launched through the air and, you know, your heads ricocheting off metal and shrapnels going through the vehicle and your friends' faces caving in from smashing into a .50 caliber machine gun.
00:23:48.000You know, that's kind of hard to get back to, but I find myself on that spectrum where I'm trying to chase that near-death high because I think that's the only time I really ever felt alive is when I actually survived that rush you get afterwards.
00:24:06.000So when I see you down by the border and you're filming illegals coming over and you're risking getting shot by the cartels because they're the ones that are profiting off of this, you're really just chasing that adrenaline high that you got in, where was it, Iraq?
00:24:26.000I mean, I think when I got offered that job at InfoWars and Alex said, hey, I want to put you out there in the streets, out there in the field doing stuff.
00:24:33.000And I, you know, this was kind of right at this time when all this violence was erupting all over the country and all these terror attacks all over the world were happening.
00:24:42.000You know, I kind of got to throw myself back into that without being in the military.
00:24:46.000And I kind of got to chase that rush again.
00:24:48.000And it kind of made me fall in love with something I never thought I'd ever be doing.
00:24:52.000I mean, quite honestly, if you would have asked me when I first got to Iraq what I'd see myself doing 10, 15 years down the road, it'd be like a welder, you know, or something like that.
00:25:00.000You know, a wannabe professional surfer who just never made the pros, but just surfs all day and smokes pot and like, you know, like lays on the beach stoned out of his mind.
00:25:09.000I never thought I'd actually be like in Paris, you know, covering the Paris attacks and going on raids with police and shit like that.
00:25:17.000I mean, that's it's this intensity and you want to go follow it.
00:25:21.000You want the chaos and you want to be in the middle of it because it makes you feel alive.
00:25:25.000Maybe that's why journalism sucks so badly these days is because they're all pussies.
00:25:32.000I mean, that's the fucking truth, hands down.
00:25:34.000There's way too many pussies out there, way too many people scared.
00:25:37.000Like when you go to like, for Ferguson, for instance, when we would go out there and we're in the middle of the riots and all that, the cops would have this, you know, the do-not-cross police tape everywhere.
00:25:46.000And the little journalists, they would sit there and they go, okay, we won't go out there.
00:25:57.000We're going to go out here where it's actually fun.
00:25:59.000You know, that's what you're supposed to do when you did this job.
00:26:02.000That's what you should have wanted to do when he became a journalist is to go find out what's going on, what's really happening, not sitting here going, okay, officer, I'll just sit over here.
00:27:38.000You're looking at pins with domains that are blocked.
00:27:43.000Any domain on the porn block list, you can't make a pin like that.
00:27:48.000And I happened to discover this because of a Slack thread talking about pro-life content, and somebody happened to notice that liveaction.org was blocked.
00:28:00.000And so I was pretty surprised, and I went to our porn domain block list, and then sure enough, I found live action on there.
00:28:09.000LiveAction is a group founded by Lila Rose that tries to educate people about the pro-life movement.
00:28:14.000Liveaction.org was added to a porn block list.
00:28:18.000That means that if you try to make a pin that links to liveaction.org, you won't be allowed to.
00:29:00.000Megan works on the trust and safety team and on government operations, and she was the one who added liveaction.org to the porn domain block list.
00:29:11.000After reaching out to the past, doesn't this, are we seeing a pattern here too?
00:29:17.000It's a lot of childless women talking about how important abortion is and how we have to kill.
00:29:25.000I'm going to send you an article right now I just saw when we were setting up the show.
00:29:31.000It's a feminine, well, maybe you can find it, LifeSite News.
00:29:35.000Okay, the headline is, feminist author, abortion is a form of killing that we need to be able to defend.
00:29:43.000Sophie Lewis, who teaches at the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research, touts her book, Full Surrogate Now, Feminism Against Family, as a radical feminist defense of abortion and maternal surrogacy.
00:29:56.000She argues that more paid maternal surrogacy is needed.
00:30:24.000They get the milk for free and they don't have to buy the cow.
00:30:27.000So you got bamboozled by your own rhetoric.
00:30:31.000And then similarly, we had April Glazer was the one who got Proud Boys and all the conservatives kicked off Chase Bank, including, by the way, Joe Biggs.
00:30:42.000Joe Biggs was booted from Chase, thanks to April Glazer, who I also will bet a farm is childless.
00:31:03.000By the way, before we abandon the previous Pinterest thing, another thing on their banned list was not just a pro-life site, but white supremacists, which you understand, you don't want the Pinterest to be polluted with swastikas and stuff, was white supremacist Ben Shapiro.
00:33:17.000You would have been able to see my eyes and my teeth at the very least.
00:33:23.000Okay, so April, and by the way, that black woman, I bet you she's childless too.
00:33:29.000But the April Glazer thing brings us back to yesterday's news and where we were also talking about this New York Times story that said that Paul Joseph Watson, I mean, go back to that.
00:35:52.000Then he starts going really dangerously far right, like Milton Friedman, ooh, and me and Lauren Southern, Stephan Molyneux, and blah, blah, blah.
00:36:00.000And then those same algorithms that brought him there bring him to liberal commentators, like the green lady I just showed you, and he becomes a liberal.
00:36:13.000So the point of this article was meant to be, I got sucked into this, what's it called, a decentralized cult.
00:36:20.000I got sucked into this decentralized cult, and I was alt-right, and it was scary.
00:36:25.000And then somehow, magically, I was saved.
00:37:14.000According to Kevin Roos' New York Times piece, Kane watched videos that convinced him that Western civilization was under threat from Muslim immigrants.
00:38:43.000It goes back to April Glazer saying to Chase Bank, did you know that you were helping a hate group spread hate?
00:38:48.000It's journalists as activists, and they're telling lies.
00:38:51.000If you read an Antifa blog, it's going down, it's called, you'll just see nothing but lies.
00:38:57.000And journalists are now not just working With Antifa, they are Antifa and they use the same tactics and they're lazy and they're pussies.
00:39:06.000So all these things your parents are reading about what you do or the people that you like or all of these Thanksgivings that are ruined, all these Christmases that are ruined because that guy's he supports Trump and he's a Nazi now.
00:40:49.000So Stonewall, the chief of police in New York just apologized to, I don't know, gays, non-binary people with beards and dresses about Stonewall because the police busted Stonewall because it was a gay bar.
00:41:56.000The statue that's there is a white male.
00:42:01.000So they're going to erect two more statues.
00:42:04.000One is a black guy and the other is trans.
00:42:06.000Now, it turns out that the trans guy wasn't there for the beginning of the riot and he just got a call that there's a riot going on like eight hours in.
00:42:17.000He's like, yeah, let's go and fuck shit up.
00:44:35.000And the frustrating thing about being remotely on the right is you have to have all these things memorized and know their mistakes.
00:44:43.000It's sort of like flat earthers, where they'll go, oh yeah, how come on a hot day I can see Chicago from Detroit or blah, blah, blah, whatever their stupid thing is?
00:44:52.000You have to already be familiar with that and say, well, what's happening there is you have the condensation of the lake and that is refracting your vision and the light up to make you see the skyline.
00:45:01.000I don't want to memorize all the reasons the earth is not flat, but you have to because these people go off in tangents and they make policy based on tangents.
00:45:10.000Look at the NYC 9 facing prison time due to lies.
00:45:15.000The same lie that April Glazer said to get Chase Bank to debank conservatives, where she said they engaged in political violence.
00:45:22.000No, they defended themselves after they were ambushed.
00:45:27.000And by the way, the EPA does the same thing.
00:45:30.000they say, air quality has done nothing but improve since the Environmental Protection Agency showed up to save the day.
00:45:40.000Yeah, it was going up like this at 45 degrees.
00:46:18.000And just to explain Ryan's terrible joke, he thinks it's funny to play the Sultans of Swing from Dire Straits when I mention Jill Abramson's book.
00:47:39.000But the bigotry of low expectations and female privilege means that we let these broads get away with it.
00:47:44.000When I write a book, I have to spend like two hours with a lawyer going through every sentence, fact-checking, talking to people, changing names if they don't give me permission to tell that particular story.
00:47:55.000That's what all normal authors have to do.
00:47:57.000But for some reason, Jill and Naomi get to just barf out gossip based on hunches.
00:52:45.000The title of this letter is Brad Pitt, 10 out of 10, Kink Guy and POYB, Update on Getting Late Experiment.
00:52:53.000In case you missed it, not only am I the guy Ryan now has a man crush on, but I'm also the guy that was assaulted when standing with two black Israelites.
00:53:02.000Every time I see that word, I think of that song.
00:53:04.000Get up in the morning, don't find it, don't they?
00:53:48.000That's the original ska that's that's the rude boys that's the origin of skinheads and mods and the specials and all that stuff goes back to Desmond Decker.
00:53:57.000He was the OG So he says this so the guy we were talking about yesterday in the letters page the melt-in-your-mouth gorgeous ah just swimming pools for eyes breathtakingly hot man Lars was also the guy assaulted with two black Israelites when Trump visited London last week and he said we were also featured in the only unbiased Vox.com article ever written now you know you'll notice that sometimes you'll see liberal
