00:01:47.000I remember it's funny when you get old and you know someone like that.
00:01:50.000I remember being, whatever it was, probably 19 when they stayed at our house.
00:01:54.000And he was talking about how the RCMP threatened to kill him.
00:01:58.000And I was disgusted with my own police force as a Canadian.
00:02:04.000And then now that I'm old, I go, well, you came up over the border with a box of records that say millions of dead cops.
00:02:11.000And all your merch says millions of dead cops.
00:02:15.000And what they said to you at the border was, if there's any kind of trouble or I run into you again, it's not going to go well for you.
00:02:22.000I mean, if you had millions of dead black guys and you end up at a Black Lives Matter convention, things aren't going to go great for you either.
00:09:13.000It's very elusive, these other cultures.
00:09:18.000Anyhow, this is a funny video I just want to start with.
00:09:22.000Rapina Pole, whatever her name is, this woman who held up the World Trophy and said, oh, I don't want to talk about that because it's going to link to Ben Shapiro.
00:09:30.000She's holding up the World Cup, whatever it is, and she said, I deserve this.
00:09:36.000And I thought, and she's been on a tear.
00:09:38.000You've got to really move it over to the side, dude, because her tits are hanging out.
00:11:20.000So, Ben Shapiro was in the news a long time ago for talking about her and saying she's just getting all this attention because he's a lesbian.
00:11:57.000So because you haven't, this is this, the reason I'm sending this tweet to Ryan so you can pull it up is this is the level of logic we're dealing with, especially to the guy whose mantra is facts don't care about your feelings.
00:12:08.000So she's saying to him, you're totally wrong, Ben, to imply that an outspoken lesbian on the team, out of the people getting endorsements and attention on the team, the outspoken lesbian is going to get more than the others because she's an outspoken lesbian.
00:12:23.000I mean, we're at the point now where mundane facts are hair-whiteningly shocking.
00:12:29.000Sort of like the Antifa thing where they had the presentation of all the horrible things I've said.
00:12:33.000And one of them was, I think most women would be happier at home.
00:12:38.000Dude, I've got radical views that would make you go bald.
00:12:41.000For example, I want to abolish prison and school.
00:20:23.000You see some girl at a restaurant or something for dinner and you're staring at her and you're like, if I wasn't married, this would be the one.
00:21:26.000So she was the one who said it was okay.
00:21:28.000Or sorry, I'm not going to do what the left does.
00:21:30.000She implied that there should be less outrage for yelling at Ivanka Trump on a plane than someone else on a plane because Ivanka Trump is about to have so much power in her hands that she chose that life.
00:23:12.000Well, women aren't amazing at that, but you know, there's Ronda Rousey.
00:23:16.000And then another big part of him is his womanizing.
00:23:20.000And that's why when they first started talking about this last year, or it came up last year, the executive producer of James Bond said, it's a woman, by the way, Bond is male.
00:23:53.000Yeah, my wife always does that for Sean Connery.
00:23:57.000But he is James Bond, and it's what aristocratic Scottish people sound like.
00:24:03.000And I think it's them trying to enunciate so the English will understand them.
00:24:08.000So this is a scene, a typical James Bond scene, wherein Jimmy was receiving a massage from a lovely lady at a beautiful Palms resort, possibly in Santa Cruz, and an important delegate, perhaps someone involved in the CIL or MI5, would like to speak to him.
00:25:26.000We do have some exciting news, though, with John Cardillo that's going to blow your mind about this Antifa guy, but we'll get to that in a second.
00:26:18.000Or is it a tough, big, tough man that she has sex with?
00:26:21.000Okay, and then he's like, get out of here.
00:26:23.000Or does she smack, does he make love to her in a dominant, empowering way that's normal, you know, sexual roles, but she smacks his ass when he walks up.
00:26:32.000Yeah, what if she's sensitive and her femininity is intact?
00:27:03.000We are going to play it on this show when it happens.
00:27:06.000And I 100% guarantee that it's going to be stupid and silly.
00:27:11.000Sort of like the female Ghostbusters where they were just, even though they're scared to get a spider out of the bathtub, they're happy just to go and blast the underworld.
00:29:32.000Now, click on Nina Mohan because she's doing something that I remember Indian girls did when I was a kid.
00:29:37.000Indian girls tend to have pretty oppressive parents, lots of rules in an Indian household, but they didn't mind nose rings because it was traditional and it was kind of kooky here in America and Canada.
00:29:49.000So they'd always get away with this kooky move.
00:29:52.000Although she's really going to town on it and it's hanging into her mouth.
00:30:12.000Scarlet Johansen was asked about giving up that trans role and then immediately jumped to comparing playing gender, different gender identities slash ethnicities to animals and trees.
00:30:21.000Okay, hon. Again, we're outraged on things that are totally reasonable.
00:31:00.000This is what happens when we have this super lazy thinking where we don't have back and forth and play devil's advocate and say, yeah, well, there are exceptions to that.
00:31:10.000And that's what I'm trying to do with this show.
00:31:12.000And I'm starting to think, am I pursuing the right thing?
00:31:15.000Like, is bringing the left to the right and saying, let's discuss it, is that a good business model?
00:31:21.000If only half the group wants to discuss it.
00:31:23.000I know I don't sound very confident and you're supposed to know exactly what you're doing on these things.
00:31:28.000But like, say I had a show called Free Speech Baseball, where I brought the Yankees and the Red Sox together, and I'd have a Yankee talking to a Red Sox.
00:31:49.000Maybe it makes life easier to go, they're evil, we're great.
00:31:52.000Maybe this balkanization, which we're having in America, just like the Serbs and the Croats and whatever the hell all that stupid war was with Milosevic, maybe that's a thing humans enjoy.
00:32:04.000Maybe they like conflict and separation.
00:34:47.000Like if a Trump supporter or a proud boy were to do something terrible like that, everyone remotely associated with those groups would go, oh boy, oh, that's not good.
00:34:58.000But you can't lose when you're in Antifa.
00:38:32.000So nobody working there was armed, Gavin.
00:38:35.000They were able to lock themselves inside, wait for Tacoma PD to engage, then kill the guy.
00:38:39.000But again, had this guy gotten there five minutes later or been a little more inconspicuous, might have had a lot of dead innocence on our hands.
00:39:54.000I was the Twitter Grim Reaper to Antifa as a former cop giving people advice, telling them to check local laws, and if legal, defend themselves.
00:40:02.000You know, the fascinating thing I find about that is that you're just spewing facts, hate facts.
00:40:08.000And we've got John Lott on the show today, too, talking about he was banned for pointing out that the New Zealand shooter wanted more gun control and was a Marxist.
00:40:30.000I've said it a hundred times, but maybe a thousand.
00:40:32.000We're in Civil War 2.0, and the social media companies are now acting as the propagandists.
00:40:38.000They're like the Lenny Rifenstahl of the movement.
00:40:41.000They love to call us Nazis, but they're crafting a narrative here, and they're making people like Antifa, they are domestic terrorists, right, make no mistake.
00:40:48.000This guy came to kill innocents at a detention facility.
00:40:52.000People going to work to feed their kids, and then you've got guys like Chris Cuomo over on CNN saying, well, Antifa does good work as well.
00:41:17.000I mean, you and I, apparently, all we have to do is get up tomorrow morning and say, you know, we're neurosurgeons and we should be treated as neurosurgeons because you can call yourself whatever you want.
00:42:02.000That little minor detail that these ICE officers who killed the comrade prevented a mass shooting.
00:42:11.000You will not see that anywhere in the news, I promise you.
00:42:15.000We just averted a major catastrophe that was spurred on by Antifa.
00:42:21.000Antifa almost facilitated a mass shooting that would have dwarfed any of the any Heather Hire, Charlottesville, any of these other things that they pretend is so prevalent.
00:42:35.000And we can't bring it up because we've been censored.
00:43:08.000And I'm not saying that he's lazy or anything, but he keeps getting battered with all these myths that he's dispelled a million times, and then they keep coming back.
00:43:20.000Just like the whole thing about Americans are working three jobs.
00:45:15.000Are you banned or just temporarily banned?
00:45:19.000Well, I can remove the tweet and then I'll be able to tweet again.
00:45:24.000But basically, it would kind of acknowledge that I put up something that's wrong.
00:45:30.000And, you know, I'm still trying to have them explain to me what I did that was wrong.
00:45:37.000I had a tweet that was put up in March about the shooter at the New Zealand mosque.
00:45:46.000And basically, what I said was the guy who's a socialist, an environmentalist, hates capitalists and free trade.
00:45:56.000And I also mentioned that he believed that his attack would lead to more gun control in New Zealand and the United States.
00:46:06.000You know, as far as I know, everything there was exactly what he was saying in his manifesto.
00:46:13.000And you look at Twitter, there are all sorts of people saying what I thought was wrong and in quite vitriolic terms, and nothing seems to have happened to any of them.
00:46:25.000The notion that the guy's a right-winger seems to come from the fact that if you're racist, you're a right-winger, you know, and as if socialists and environmentalist can't be equally racist.
00:46:41.000So this guy, he doesn't like third world type people coming to European countries like New Zealand or Australia, because third world people have lots of kids.
00:46:56.000And kids, if you have lots of kids, that will destroy the environment.
00:47:00.000So this guy's racism is based on his environmentalism.
00:47:08.000But somehow just because he's a racist, that means he's a right-winger.
00:47:15.000And, you know, lots of people blaming Trump in really hyperbolic terms.
00:47:22.000None of their tweets have been locked up like this.
00:47:29.000I mean, I can't even send private messages to anybody with the system.
00:47:35.000But, you know, the notion that this guy's a right-winger, right-wingers, right-wingers normally don't go and say, quote, conservatism is dead or that global capitalist markets are the enemy of racial autonomous.
00:47:50.000I mean, this guy thinks that we should all produce everything on our own.
00:47:55.000We shouldn't engage in any type of trade.
00:48:00.000And, you know, I could go on, but it's like this guy isn't moderate on anything.
00:48:08.000He isn't what I would regard as free market on anything.
00:48:38.000I mean, it's kind of disturbing that you have politicians like the New Zealand Prime Minister who go and declare that the guy's a right-winger.
00:48:50.000Obviously, she's a left-wing politician.
00:48:53.000And then ban people in New Zealand from being able to go and read the manifesto so they can find out for themselves whether or not she's being accurate and essentially banned the press there being able to go and talk about what was in the manifesto.
00:50:24.000I don't know how people are supposed to have discussions on these things.
00:50:30.000You know, one of the big kind of, I guess, claims by the media is that these mass public shootings are done by right-wingers.
00:50:41.000Well, you know, we've gone through, the Crime Prevention Research Center has gone through and looked at all sorts of things about these mass public shooters, including their political views and their religious views.
00:50:54.000And the point is, is that something like 70% of these mass public shooters have no political views.
00:51:25.000You know, if the Southern Poverty Law Center, whatever they're called, goes and classify these people as right-wingers, then as far as the media has been concerned, that that must be what they are.
00:51:39.000I've even seen them do it with Muslim, like ISIS.
00:51:41.000They'll say Muslim conservatives throwing gays off buildings, Muslim right-wingers.
00:52:09.000And the reason why they've had trouble is the guns that they're requiring that people turn in are ones that they didn't register, didn't have registered beforehand.
00:52:21.000I mean, if you're going to confiscate guns, it makes it a lot easier if you've required people to register the guns, because then you know who owns them.
00:52:30.000And you can go to them and say, we know you have these guns, give them to us.
00:52:36.000So, you know, we've actually had that situation in the United States, in California, and Chicago and New York, when they've decided at some point in the future, after you've registered the guns, that we no longer want these to be legal.
00:53:42.000I mean, the bad thing also was how quickly the law got passed.
00:53:47.000And if you read the law there, it's kind of nonsensical in parts.
00:53:54.000You know, they talk about banning assault weapons, and then they talk about banning semi-automatic guns as if these are two separate things that are going on there.
00:57:22.000He also had people, there was a bird that annoyed him.
00:57:25.000I think it was the starling or something.
00:57:27.000And so he got everyone in Beijing to be banging trash can lids together everywhere and on roofs and everything until the birds literally had nowhere in the entire city to land and they died of exhaustion.
00:57:40.000Now, in the bird case, it worked for maybe a week and then new birds arrived.
00:57:45.000With the flies, it lasted maybe an hour.
00:58:52.000So not only is he trying to get the First Amendment in the hood where people need it, where there's 20 men killed a day, he wants old ladies to have it.
00:58:58.000Dads who stuck by their families, he wants them to have it.
00:59:01.000People always talk about the stat that 75% of kids are born out of wedlock in America, black kids.
00:59:15.000So not only is he pushing for that, but he's also pushing these awareness seminars where he talks about gun violence and how to use a gun and how to solve problems.
00:59:26.000There's also sort of a psychological thing to it where he's going to the hood saying, let's stop the violence.
00:59:31.000Sort of that 90s thing that was popular in hip-hop where they said stop the violence.
00:59:35.000Madge is back on that and it's working.
00:59:38.000So I'm getting pretty optimistic that he could win a seat in office.
01:01:32.000Well, you know, you are melding with the other side in the sense that you're getting inside the system to take it apart from the inside out.
01:01:40.000Or they're going to try to kill me close.
01:03:26.000And the other thing is I'm going to make sure that we understand that Philadelphia is a great city, but it's in this great state of Pennsylvania as well.
01:03:34.000So we're going to make sure that Pennsylvania being an open carry state, we're going to get that rule out of here, that little unconstitutional statute that deals with the concept of Philadelphia gets to make a separate rule in regards to, you know, skirting our Pennsylvania state constitution, which means you can carry a gun.
01:03:55.000Philly's the only city of the first class, meaning it has over 1 million inhabitants.
01:03:59.000So they make like little extra rules that are in direct opposition to state and sometimes even national constitution.
01:04:05.000So those are some of the earlier things that I'm going to really get with.
01:04:08.000You know, I bet none of that money that was allotted to preventing violence in Philadelphia went to getting legal guns in the hands of black people.
01:04:19.000No, it's not going to because they're afraid.
01:04:21.000And to their credit, though, they don't know how many people are, they don't understand like safe and responsible gun ownership.
01:04:30.000So to their credit a little bit, I get their understanding, but our work, for example, 2015 to 2016, we did most of our classes in Philly.
01:04:40.000When the stats came out in 2017 for violent crime for the year of 2016, the crime in Philly, the violent crime had been the lowest that it had been since like 1979.
01:04:51.000That's because we did constant, constant, constant work on conflict resolution.
01:04:55.000I'm not giving you a gun until I know that you understand the importance of the Second Amendment, The responsibility that comes along with that, and you don't have a mentality of I'm about to go shoot somebody that looks just like me.
01:05:07.000So, saying this to say, we have scalable data that shows that our work actually works.
01:05:12.000So, some of that $30 million that needs to be put into actual, viable programs that is blocking the trauma, and at the same time, it's not violating our human rights or our constitutional or our natural law, the ability to defend our life.
01:05:26.000So, oh, we're going to get to that money.
01:05:27.000We're going to find out where that money at for sure.
01:05:30.000Yeah, why do you think that Black Lives Matter is so worried about racist cops and they never once mentioned something like 20 black men that are murdered every day in gun violence?
01:05:54.000I'm around local officers, sheriffs, all of that stuff.
01:05:57.000There are guys and women in there that are scumbags.
01:06:00.000But if your experience, or the one that's put on television the most, as well as your experience, is you happen to run into the jerk, you're going to kind of like have a bias.
01:06:10.000Now, on top of that, you got organizations, probably some of the same organizations that's fucking with you, that'll put millions upon millions of dollars to make anybody that's having hardcore conversation about the issues at hand, they're trying to, you know, squelch those voices.
01:06:24.000So with that being the case, you got a multitude of things.
01:06:27.000Now, now, this is in no way, shape, or form, justifying bullshit cops that put that uniform on to harass black and brown people.
01:06:34.000I hope you get shot in the fucking face if you're one of those people.
01:06:36.000No different than if you happen to be a black, brown, white, Asian, whatever person, and you're not in uniform and you're going to harass and terrorize people in the community.
01:06:45.000I hope you get shot in your fucking face too.
01:06:47.000See, there's an objective standard that's there.
01:06:51.000I think the Black Lives Matter people are caught in between crying about something.
01:06:57.000Some of them, or some people that took over, you know, the situation are caught in between crying about an issue, but at the same time, looking to them same people to police themselves and police the community as opposed to putting your own, I don't outsource my community.
01:07:26.000And if you happen to come across, you got to be objective because every cop is not, I have family members and friends that are cops.
01:07:33.000They put that uniform on every day to do the right thing, to catch robbers, rapists, and fucking unjustifiable homicides.
01:07:39.000So they extreme, extreme, until you extremely piss off really, really powerful people.
01:07:45.000Extreme on the left, kind of like get, you know, how they say if it bleeds, it leads.
01:07:49.000So they kind of like highlight the things that's wrong with it.
01:07:52.000But then when I'm telling my white homies, I'm like, y'all should be mad about, you know, tyranny too, because white dudes is killed by cops more than black people.
01:08:03.000They just don't have the numbers or they're not confident enough or they're not strapped enough to say that in a manner where they're not violating the terms of the people that gave them millions of dollars to talk.
01:09:22.000When I'm talking to hardworking people from different demographics, first of all, if you believe that you live in a rough neighborhood, that like, for example, Homegirl said if she's elected to president, within 100 days, if Congress don't come up with some rules, some more rules in regards to firearms, she's going to, in essence, be a dictator and go around the systems of checks and balances.
01:09:46.000When you explain that to people in a very practical way, nobody from any demographic is okay with that, period.
01:09:53.000You going into, you're talking about Trump being Hitler.
01:10:23.000So these are the things that people identify with.
01:10:26.000And I want, you know, President Trump is part of the reason that's going to make it easier for me because I'm saying culturally relevant things and I'm pro-gun.
01:10:34.000And at the same time, people actually see me in the hood and they know I ain't super duper rich.
01:10:38.000So all these other different things go into it.
01:10:41.000But the dudes like Corey Booker, Corey Booker's racist.
01:10:50.000And so for me, nah, if you're not talking about black and brown people, not limited to, because I'm going to be clear on that.
01:10:57.000If you're not talking about people being armed and defending themselves from tyranny, whether it's tyranny in a damn community, whether it's a corrupt keyword, corrupt cop, then you promoting policies that have been proven to be racist.
01:15:07.000One, I think it's horrific to see a man get nailed and then nailed again and probably die.
01:15:12.000Not probably die, but possibly die and have brain damage.
01:15:15.000But on the other hand, it must feel so good to knock someone out.
01:15:19.000I've never knocked someone out, but it must feel so awesome when someone picks a fight with you and you're like, take it easy, Tommy Robinson style.
