00:01:41.000And the thing I love about Generation X is in 79, punk was about being a revolutionary and changing the system and all this really political shit.
00:01:53.000And like the clash from the sex pistols and fuck the queen.
00:01:56.000And they were like, we just want to get laid.
00:02:38.000It's about what young people thought then, right?
00:02:40.000You know, it was their way of expression in a way.
00:02:43.000You know, because it was about the mods and the rockers and stuff like that, about how they had to chain each other and things like that, you know what I mean?
00:02:50.000We felt it meant exactly the same for us today, you know?
00:03:12.000Like that song we just played, you King Rocker, it made it to number 11 in the charts.
00:03:16.000But then at the age of like 24, when Generation X have broken up, he goes to New York City with not that much money and then restarts a new kind of music that's basically disco punk.
00:03:31.000Like he took punk, he still had the growling, yelling voice, but he added beats.
00:03:36.000And now you have like people dancing, pop punk.
00:05:58.000The chamber adopted a motion regarding the proliferation of white supremacists and hate groups.
00:06:05.000See, it's tricky, too, because you don't necessarily, they can't, you know, get sued or whatever, because they didn't call Proud Boys white supremacists.
00:06:49.000And then when I was trying to look it up, I saw some other article that you just pulled up, and it was like, proud boys bragging about the absolute terror they cause.
00:10:37.000They're trying to clothe this paragraph with clichés about restoring democracy and doing it for the people, but their proposal is simply a naked attempt to change the rules of American politics to benefit one party, which is what we were talking about yesterday, where you're canceled if you go against the left.
00:10:57.000It's going to become illegal to be us this year.
00:13:13.000Like when women are in over their head, and I remember this in college, it would be something complicated, like in economics, and they go, I feel like that originally, like, it was more about supply and demand.
00:13:27.000We go up on a little high note, like Jiminy Glick.
00:13:30.000And that's their way of saying, I don't know what I'm doing here.
00:21:26.000So what he did for those questions is he says, yes, there is a lot of evidence to say both those things are true, but it doesn't demean or diminish Dr. King's incredible accomplishments.
00:23:34.000One of the primary duties of a rapper in this day and age is to become a positive role model in the minds and in the hearts of the children because a lot of these kids don't have positive role models to look up to.
00:23:46.000And most neighborhoods, drug dealers, a role model.
00:23:49.000We're totally against black women's parents, one of them.
00:23:51.000I mean, it's so ridiculous in this day and time that our own brothers and sisters have got to pick up arms against one another.
00:26:04.000There's a bucket right in front of the camera, and it was going crazy this morning.
00:26:09.000And the super comes in, and he goes, Yeah, it's probably it doesn't make sense because it's not near any bathroom, or it's not near the kitchen, or the radiators, or nothing, or the window.
00:27:33.000I was going to say, there's no leak in the studio, and unfortunately, there's no little leak in the real world because he was shot due to gun violence.
00:27:56.000I just have to say that I object strenuously to your use of the word hilarious.
00:28:03.000To me, this feels a lot like your reaction to being named in one of these manifestos.
00:28:08.000Now, you're, of course, not responsible for the words of somebody writing that document, but I do think that laughing at it is a real problem because these are real families that are impacted by this violence.
00:29:43.000You just tried to do live what the media does all the time to Republicans, to our president, and to conservatives, which is tried to manipulate what I said to fit your narrative.
00:29:53.000And the audacity of you to bring up the Christ Church shooting manifesto and make it seem as if I laughed at people that were slaughtered by a homicidal maniac is, in my opinion, absolutely despicable.
00:30:06.000And I think that we should be above that.
00:30:09.000To try to assign reality or any meaning to a homicidal maniac writing a manifesto, which, by the way, let the record show, also stated Spiro the Dragon, the child's cartoon, as a source of inspiration.
00:30:22.000He also cited Nelson Mandela as a source of information.
00:30:26.000I don't think that Nelson Mandela has inspired mosque shootings.
00:30:29.000You can correct me if you think I'm wrong.
00:30:31.000You would rather assign meaning to a homicidal maniac than to actually address the things that I said today that are actually harming black America.
00:31:05.000I've been black in America my whole life, all 30 years, and I can tell you that you guys have done the exact same thing every four years ahead of an election cycle, and it needs to stop.
00:35:07.000We might dress in all black for occasion.
00:35:08.000Videos from the riots show that some of the first individuals who attack defense and get into fistfights with police were dressed mostly in black.
00:35:15.000So now Proud Boys are responsible for the storming of the Capitol.
00:35:20.000And anything bad you saw Antifa do, it was also them in disguise.
00:36:11.000Why don't you have a picture of the stream in Indianapolis?
00:36:13.000Police are investigating a horrific act of violence, a mass shooting that authorities there are calling the largest mass casualty shooting in more than a decade.
00:36:23.000At least five people are reported dead.
00:36:25.000One of them was a woman who was pregnant.
00:36:27.000Her unborn child also did not survive.
00:36:30.000A young male at the scene was wounded and is expected to live, we are told.
00:36:34.000The police chief in Indianapolis believes this rampage was a targeted incident at one home, that more than one person did the shooting, and that they're treating this incident as a mass murder.
00:36:46.000CNN is still working to get more information, and we will update this story when we know more.
00:37:36.000So these radical political activists who hate white people, these are racist monsters who despise white people, talk about it all the time.
00:37:48.000But they get given this beautiful little foster child.
00:39:21.000That we can't imagine half of this shit.
00:39:24.000The whole time Obama was president, I was like, I will happily take a bullet for this ban if someone tries to kill him because I don't want to be around to hear about how we had one black president and you fucking shot him.
00:41:20.000Again, if it was a one Pakistani kid in an all-white school and he was getting called Paki every day and he hanged himself, oh, there'd be parades, t-shirts, say his name.
00:41:33.000And then this story again is, can you imagine if the races were reversed?
00:41:41.000Like, what if a mob of white lunatics, racists, were doing a Confederate flag march and a black couple who had taken over this house.
00:41:50.000Are you enjoying watching the show, Ryan?
00:41:57.000And they renovated this old abandoned, basically abandoned estate.
00:42:03.000And it was theirs, and they lived there, and they were lawyers, and they worked hard their whole lives, and they had their daughter at school.
00:42:09.000And the white mob came at them, and they were armed, and the white mob of racists left them alone.
00:42:15.000Can you imagine them getting arrested?
00:42:16.000I meant to bring up this story yesterday, which is why I was wearing the shirt that we have.
00:42:21.000Where we're dressed like the McCloskeys.
00:45:06.000And then they show the pictures and he's carrying a podium going, that riot, and I don't advocate it, that riot was so benign that the people didn't even know they were in a riot.
00:45:17.000They were joking, mugging for the camera.
00:45:19.000If you're there to destroy and you're there to kidnap Mike Pence or whatever, you're not going...
00:45:26.000You're not sitting on Nancy Pelosi's desk with your feet up.
00:45:29.000That's not what menacing forces of destruction do.
00:45:35.000Sometimes the complaints will be false.
00:45:38.000What's this unpopular opinion tweet some black lady put up?
00:47:07.000And I kind of resent that, not because I want to say horrible things, but with the beauty of free speech is you can pontificate.
00:47:14.000Remember Ruch V, he said, I wonder if, you know, if you couldn't charge men with rape after inviting them into your home, I wonder if women would be a lot more careful about who they invited into their home.
00:52:21.000This aligns perfectly with what we've been talking about on the show.
00:52:26.000A different perspective sounds like that would be interesting, but it really does nothing if the other perspective is based on an alternative truth.
00:52:39.000You know, you can't have a Trump cultist or a QAnon believer because their truth is not based on what's true.
00:52:47.000You have to have the same baseline truth to be able to disagree on something.
00:52:52.000There's no real argument to have if you, you know, both don't at least know the earth is round.
00:52:57.000One side thinks there should be Medicare for all and another person thinks there's, you know, a pedophile ring run by liberals out of a pizza shop and Jews are trying to enslave the world.
00:53:13.000You have to both concede that the sky is blue.
00:53:16.000The idea of having a co-host with exhausting.
00:53:27.000See, what they do is they turn us into QAnon reptile people.
00:53:31.000We believe that they eat adrenochrome blood, right?
00:53:35.000That's the thing where these people think that they torture kids to get the adrenaline going, and they drink their blood because it has adrenaline-infused child blood.
00:53:45.000And there are like 87 freaks who believe that.
00:53:50.000So what they do is they take those 87 freaks, or let's bring it up to 300.
00:54:13.000Like gay marriage, it kind of annoyed us because you pretended that it was about love and being traditional, and then you used it to bully Catholics and make people bakey cakes.
00:54:24.000But like gays being gays, like even devout Christians go, well, it's not going to be great for you come Judgment Day, but that's not for me to judge.
00:55:20.000There was only six unarmed blacks killed by cops last year, and only two of the cases were egregious, and both of those cops are going to jail.
00:55:28.000The guy who put the broom poll up, the black guy's ass, is still in prison.
01:00:30.000Nearly half of Portland Antifa Inauguration Day riot arrestes, it's a long fucking description of a group, were arrested at riots last year.
01:00:43.000And then they punched Ted Wheeler in the face and he went, oh, I guess when you create an insatiable mob of unsatisfiable lunatics who are spoiled brats and on meth plenty of times,
01:01:00.000they end up cannibalizing the movement.
01:01:02.000Who's that Bratty girl from Willy Wonka?
01:08:20.000Senator Amanda Chase, incoming co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party, Michawn Maddock, Missouri State Rep, Justin Hill, Tennessee State Rep, Terry Lynn Weaver, Nevada State Assembly Member Jews, and likely others satirical video with a misleading title as Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert tweeted out how to fight a baby video.
01:11:14.000The Wall Street Journal analyzed hundreds of videos from the riot, social media posts, court filings, and interviewed participants in the events and experts on extremism.
01:11:32.000The Wall Street Journal analyzed hundreds of videos from the riot, social media posts, court filings, and interviewing participants in the events.
01:14:47.000Like, she probably saw her daughter was taking nudes, and she thought, I'm going to take a picture of this so I have proof that you did this horrible thing because I know you're going to deny it.
01:14:57.000You could post things in, like, two clicks now.
01:14:58.000And then apparently, she accidentally uploaded it.
01:15:03.000And Kelly Ann's daughter knows that it had to be her because she's never sent a nude.
01:21:59.000Kentucky is full of libtards, but beautiful countryside.
01:22:02.000Florida's too dang hot and sticky several months of the year, and the potential for getting your home damaged by storms is a constant annoyance.
01:22:09.000I recommend the Redneck Riviera, Pensacola, Destiny for a while.
01:22:12.000Florida does have beautiful beaches, but I keep my love of to visiting only.
01:22:16.000It's like Hawaii to me with less tropical forestation.
01:23:36.000Like, that Nevada thing looked pretty bonerific.
01:23:40.000When we were talking about Texas, when we were still on CR-TV before they were going to merge, that was exciting.
01:23:46.000My problem with Texas, though, it just seems like it's so hot that you just, you go to the strip mall or you go to the barbecue place and you eat there and then everyone leaves.
01:23:55.000The beauty of the Northeast is you grab a snack, you go for a walk.
01:24:43.000I'm washing my brain of the things that other people don't like because I called a golf ball a faggot.
01:24:49.000I had to write in to let Gav know how wrong he was at 108.23 on season 3, blah, blah, blah.
01:24:54.000After dumb dick Gav gives his shitty theory of Connor McGregor being done after losing Saturday night, Ryan throws out his theory of Connor losing because he's being so nice.
01:27:11.000It would draw too much attention to our quaint little town.
01:27:16.000And I worked my, I had to get, I had to get like five handwritten letters from people saying how wonderful I am in order for the privilege of renting a home there for a month that was going to cost me 15 grand.
01:27:36.000Outside of living in this gated stucco millionaire, you can go into town of Marco Island, but there's still little shitholes hidden throughout.
01:27:42.000I walked into a place called Sandbar and was immediately made fun of by three bikers, along with the 50-plus people at the bar who were not wearing masks.
01:32:25.000But he's saying that maybe you got confused because there's parentheses there, so you do parentheses first, but parentheses also means multiplication.
01:35:30.000I was telling her, the way you know if plants need water is you just put your finger into the dirt just a little bit and you see if it feels dry.
01:37:14.000By the way, this is really intense, so you may want to turn away.
01:37:18.000These guys have sword fights, and you know how stupid it looks when they have those reenactments and they have some like foam sword and they're like, battleship, battleship, 10 hit points, right?
