Rand Paul joins Jemele to talk about the new release of Cuties, the White House siege, and much, much more. Plus, a new segment called "Noah and Trevor Noah's Cuties" and a special guest appearance from Trevor Noah.
00:00:34.000What is a good way to refute the assertion that public services are socialism?
00:00:38.000What is the legitimate purview of government?
00:00:40.000It really comes down to keeping the people safe from internal and external threats.
00:00:44.000That includes the military, police, the National Guard, and making sure that everyone is playing by the rules.
00:00:50.000Outside of that, it really isn't the government's job to step in our way.
00:00:54.000Ultimately, YouTube wants to be TV, which means that YouTubers will now have to live under the standards that TV people do.
00:01:02.000And unless you're making fun of the president every single night, including for things like his physical appearance... We do have funny hair, but yeah.
00:01:49.000I got myself a spit hood and the COVID hood!
00:01:51.000It must be hard to breathe in that thing.
00:01:53.000No, this is actually, by the way, we have Rand Paul on the show today.
00:01:56.000We'll be talking about the new release of Cuties, as well as what Democrats plan to do, hint White House siege, if Donald Trump wins re-election.
00:02:04.000So my question to you is, what do you expect the left to do if he wins?
00:02:06.000But yeah, this is an actual spit hood.
00:02:45.000You know how in women's magazines they convince women, like, sometimes it's sexier if you wear a little bit of something, and so it's like, I'll put on something that is see-through and nothing.
00:03:27.000Also, all of the Democrats from major cities who have opted to support the defunding of police while upping their own security to the tune of many millions of dollars.
00:03:44.000Well, we know what they're covering, that's for sure.
00:03:46.000But first, before we move on, Trevor Noah has something to say about gender reveal parties.
00:03:54.000Celebrating a baby's genitalia is starting to feel very outdated.
00:03:58.000Like, given everything we're learning about gender, gender reveal parties should only happen when the child is old enough to know their actual gender and to pitch in some cash for the fire damage.
00:04:09.000So, like, six months down the line when they hit the casting call for cuties?
00:04:21.000I just wanted to hit on this because it will tie back to cuties.
00:04:24.000This is the guy who accuses everyone in this room, like us, of being anti-science.
00:04:30.000Why does the news keep bringing on non-scientists to argue against science?
00:04:34.000I mean, CNN pays Rick Santorum to come on and talk that sh**.
00:04:39.000This woman's group has gotten funding from oil companies, so why is the news having these climate- That's with an applause sign.
00:04:45.000And any normal person would at least pretend that the vaccine will be released based on science, but Trump doesn't even pretend.
00:04:51.000Guy's got the worst poker face in the world.
00:04:54.000Which, that's a good point, because that's with an applause sign.
00:04:58.000Either, okay, there's one of two scenarios with the Trevor Noah Show.
00:05:01.000Either everyone, the kind of people who smoke on a plane and ignore the sign and don't wear their seatbelt, the entire audience was filled to the brim with them, or Trevor Noah's not funny.
00:05:20.000Because he's not funny, though, so it does go back to option B. By the way, please do consider joining MugClub at lightoffcredit.com slash MugClub.

00:05:42.000in the audio exclusive podcast. Come back here, comment it below, and you might get a lock of
00:05:49.000Right now, there's no reason for Americans to panic.
00:05:52.000This is something that is a low risk, we think, in the U.S.
00:05:56.000But President Trump, from the day he took office, made protecting Americans and keeping
00:05:59.000them safe, whether it's from terrorists or criminal organizations or from viruses like
00:06:03.000the new novel coronavirus, a top priority.
00:06:06.000We're going to get to this because this is what everyone is talking about.
00:06:08.000And the thing that actually Reg and I were talking about this, and he made a great point, if Woodward believed that Donald Trump was lying to the American public, it would, whatever happened to the ethics in journalism, right?
00:06:18.000The Erin Brockovich's of the world, I know she wasn't a journalist, she was abroad with a push-up bra, something with tap water, but the point is...
00:06:23.000In films they always show up, I must tell the people!
00:06:29.000And in this case, if Woodward actually believed that Donald Trump was lying to the American public, it would have been his journalistic duty to tell somebody.
00:06:38.000He had to wait until he could sell the book off of it, Stephen, come on!
00:06:42.000And of course, listen, tomorrow is the obvious 19th anniversary of 9-11.
00:06:48.000And listen, we've talked about there are a lot of people who've been born after it who are about to go into college who don't really know what that was like.
00:06:56.000So here at Louder With Crowd, of course, we want to honor and remember those and actually remember what it was like that day when it happened, which we should have seen back then.
00:07:54.000What do you think that the left plans to do if and when Donald Trump wins the re-election?
00:08:00.000So I want to get into this because it is a little bit nutty when you see, and Rand Paul will be coming up after this, we'll be talking about security, the left talking about how this will be an unjust election, how Donald Trump wants to erode the trust in American institutions.
00:08:15.000And by the way, you shouldn't trust American institutions, namely the ones that Donald Trump supports, which is how we've held our elections forever.
00:08:23.000And then they say, hey, we've also run numbers to see if Donald Trump wins and how the left reacts.
00:09:06.000I say, I believe that it's the left who wants to do that.
00:09:08.000Case number one, the man whose head seemingly continues to grow into the shape of the emoji eggplant, Mark Zuckerberg, on the election.
00:09:15.000One of the things that I think we and other media need to start doing is preparing the American people that there's nothing illegitimate about this election taking additional days or even weeks to make sure that all the votes are counted.
00:09:32.000In fact, that might be important to make sure that this is a legitimate and fair election.
00:09:37.000So, we're going to do a bunch of different messaging around that, just to make sure that people know that that's normal.
00:09:51.000Then we're going to add some informational context to that post directly, saying that there's no consensus result yet.
00:10:01.000I'm gonna fact check it with your Southern Poverty Law Center buddies.
00:10:05.000We want people to know that if this election tends to be, if it appears to be an outlier to every other American election, by and large due to our underhanded methods, we want them to know that that's normal.
00:10:21.000Donald Trump wants to erode trust in American institutions.
00:10:23.000By the way, the way that you've seen elections and watched election results come in for your entire lives and your parents' lives and your grandparents' lives, it's normal to not do that.
00:10:31.000It's like, yeah, you know what, the Super Bowl would be normal if instead they come out with baseball bats stripped naked and sing Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank It's not election night coverage, it's election month coverage I think now, so we have to have more CNN livestreams, is that accurate?
00:10:52.000But this is not, here's the thing, this comes from, this is why this is so important, Timmy, Timmy I should say, that's the most powerful, that's someone more powerful than Caesar, okay?
00:11:02.000Facebook, Alphabet, YouTube, you know all too well, Alphabet, YouTube, Google, and Twitter, they have more power than most nations could have ever dreamed, and they are echoing exactly what you see and hear from the top!
00:12:24.000This lady wouldn't even show up to face the music and give a concession speech.
00:12:28.000And before that, it was a tired old trope like, oh, you don't want a female president because you're PMSing.
00:12:33.000And everyone said, you really think that?
00:12:34.000And women listed all the stuff that they do.
00:12:36.000And then, the one presidential female candidate didn't come out and do what every other male had done, which is eat shit and take your laws!
00:12:45.000What she did do was sit backstage and cry.
00:12:52.000They went really quick from wearing it as a badge, like, you stroll like a girl, you hit like a girl, you cry like a girl, and their whole camera was, yes!
00:13:52.000But when you do away with the entire standardized voting system, that's the thing.
00:13:56.000When they say Donald Trump's trying to steal the election, then Donald Trump says they're trying to steal the election.
00:13:59.000This is where you have to put on your rationalization cap.
00:14:03.000Hopefully it's thicker than a spit hood.
00:14:05.000And you say, hold on a second, who is trying to pull a fast one on me?
00:14:09.000The one who is trying to ensure that elections are held fair and free the way they always have been, with a system of checks and balances where we do know that there's a certain baseline level of transparency that's expected.
00:14:19.000Or the ones who want to try something completely new, a process shrouded in mystery, and tell us that the results could come in at some point in the indefinite future.
00:14:31.000Who is trying to pull the spit hood over your eyes?
00:14:34.000And what this is, though, is it's a very clear admission that they are now engaging in a process.
00:14:41.000They are asking states and they are encouraging states to engage in a process that will necessarily have to, unlike almost every other election we've ever had, and a very important election, take longer, be more complex, and thus more fraught with peril.
00:14:55.000The entire time they have said over and over again, there won't be any problem if we just at the last minute switch to an entirely different method of voting that will fill out anything.
00:15:03.000And now they're saying, I know we said it wasn't going to be a problem, but actually getting a correct and timely result is really not actually going to happen.
00:15:12.000Now they're the money pit construction workers.
00:15:53.000It's just like, listen, when people go into fights, if you look at any fighters, and we've had them on the show, I asked, remember Daniel Cormier was on the show, and he was known to have had a broken hand.
00:16:27.000You're making up an excuse right now because you're attempting to lie.
00:16:30.000If we want to eliminate the possibility of lies, let's use the system that we've always used and the scientific experts have said is perfectly safe.
00:17:03.000Who's the party that has been saying over and over again, you should just accept the results, accept the results, accept the results, never do anything bad?
00:17:08.000And now they're saying, oh, well, if we don't like the results, let's just overturn the government.
00:18:24.000What does that say about the supporters of the losing party, when, combined, keep in mind, in tandem with the previous losing party, instead of showing up and delivering a concession speech, sat and cried in the room like a bitch?
00:18:36.000Now, I'm not supposed to say that because she's a woman, but you would say it about It's the prejudice of soft expectations because we didn't expect you to cry like a bitch.
00:19:03.000Monday through Thursday is when we do the show, but hit the notification bell You know about all of the live streams, 10 a.m., and next Tuesday night we'll be doing the Trump Town Hall Live.
00:19:14.000There's already a network of left-wing organizations making plans for, this is the quote from Daily Beast, occupy shit, hold space, and shut things down.
00:19:23.000Not just on election day, but for weeks.
00:19:25.000And this is what really bothers me, because people will say we're being conspiratorial right here.
00:19:28.000Like, oh, this is one of those QAnon things.
00:21:21.000The big story is, of course, everyone is trying to say that Donald Trump lied to the public.
00:21:26.000This comes from the Woodward interview that Donald Trump gave with his journalist.
00:21:30.000By the way, I was impressed because this guy has been very unfair to Donald Trump in the past.
00:21:33.000So I was surprised that he gave him more information.
00:21:36.000The media confronted, and we'll show the full clip in context, but first you should see what the media is doing in that they confronted Kayleigh McEnany.
00:21:44.000She used to book the show Huckabee when I was there.
00:21:48.000The media attacking her over Donald Trump's, as you see, this is the news right now, criminal activity.
00:21:52.000Did President Trump intentionally mislead the American people about the threat of COVID, a pandemic that has now cost the lives of nearly 200,000 Americans?
00:23:20.000He should have said, you know what, listen, I didn't want to blow it out of proportion.
00:23:24.000That's clearly what he's saying if you look at, in totality, at this point of this interview where he's saying he's still playing it down, he had taken many actions.
00:23:31.000To prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
00:23:32.000Exactly, and so they're trying to hang him on his words.
00:23:35.000They're like, oh, he knew that it was deadly, and there's some other stuff that we'll get to.
00:23:38.000Don't say that, because then people will take your quote out of context.
00:23:40.000They're trying to hang Donald Trump on his own words.
00:23:41.000No, they're trying to hang him on an out-of-context two-word.
00:23:44.000Well, that's what I was getting to, right?
00:23:45.000They're trying to hang him on something that actually doesn't exist.
00:23:48.000They're saying that that means that he was lying to the American public, he knew that this was the bubonic plague, and he said, everything's fine, go about your daily lives.
00:24:14.000He's trying to say, again, just like an athlete, playing off an injury, playing it down, because people don't tend to act rationally when they are panicked.
00:24:25.000For an example, see the Democratic Party with coronavirus and shutting down all businesses.
00:24:30.000Can we also remember the context here?
00:24:32.000So they showed a clip earlier from February 2nd where it was like, hey, the virus, we're trying to understand it, but it doesn't seem to be just like a widespread pandemic at this point.
00:24:41.000Well, it wasn't considered a widespread pandemic.
00:24:44.000This interview occurred in the second or third week of March.
00:24:47.000Remember, in the second or third week of March, we had Nancy Pelosi going down to Chinatown going, everything's fine here, come on down and get the dim sum.
00:27:26.000It's in the same vein of the fact that this media accused President Trump of calling the coronavirus a hoax, which he never did.
00:27:34.000He said that the politicization of the coronavirus being used against him was the latest hoax, and he was actually talking about someone, a fan, a supporter, talking to him.
00:30:51.000And don't forget, you know, everything that Trump was actually doing at that time was to try and protect the American borders, you know, put restrictions in, that apparently don't exist according to some on the left.
00:31:00.000But, you know, what's ultimately most hilarious about that is that he was doing that and they were saying, you're not doing enough.
00:31:06.000But then every example of a country where coronavirus has been beat, the curve has been flattened, they shut down the borders!
00:31:16.000Right, and they didn't actually have to lock down every single place.
00:31:23.000Well, there's plenty of countries that we can look to that had less draconian measures that they implemented and had better success with the virus for a number of reasons.
00:32:51.00090% on Rotten Tomatoes versus 6% from the audience.
00:32:56.000And you have people on the left right now with cuties.
00:32:58.000Again, when we said this was a slippery slope, they're trying to say this is actually a film that explores the hyper-sexualization of youth and the innocence of... It doesn't matter!
00:33:26.000It's hard with the sound off and their pants on.
00:33:29.000So I didn't want to show you guys because I didn't want, if there happens to be, and out of the millions of people who watch, I'm sure there's one lone Nambla card carrier in there.
00:33:38.000So I decided to at least try and reflect just how revolting it is without breaking the law as the Netflix producers did.
00:33:46.000And even Brendan and Bryce will come in here.
00:33:48.000Let's have them come on in and show you exactly in person.
00:33:53.000Cuties, exactly what it is that you guys would see on Netflix.
00:34:39.000Okay, the point here is that they are sexually exploiting Young children, we are trying to point out the moral repugnancy of sexually exploiting people for views.
00:35:40.000Because let me read, actually, for you real quick.
00:35:42.000This is a review from Daily Beast, where it talks about people across the political spectrum have expressed rightful concern about the streaming giant's choice, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:35:51.000In Cuties, it talks about how she's a Muslim girl.
00:36:02.000It says, Ducouret's film rigorously examines the ways teen girls mimic the images they
00:36:06.000see on social media, the ones that tell them they're bi.
00:36:08.000So you would think, oh, this is a judgment, this is a condemnation of them trying to imitate
00:36:13.000the Cardi B's of the world, the Nicki Minaj's, whoever the latest fitness model is selling
00:36:19.000But no, of course, listen, do you think that any leftist reporters, the people who give it a 90% rating, would judge the current hip-hop culture, which is by and large African-American, and say that's sexual exploitation?
00:36:29.000What they say is what they see on social media, the ones that tell them their bodies are all wrong, their presentations too childish, their lives unremarkable.
00:36:56.000And couldn't they, if they were trying to like find a voice, couldn't they have like found an expression that was, you know, like being a ballerina, maybe ballroom dance.
00:37:03.000You know, something other than getting on the pole.
00:37:06.000I mean, couldn't we have something like that to help them get in touch with their feminism?
00:37:09.000Well, one of the ways that you would have just done this is you go interview the influencers I was so uncomfortable watching, I'll tell you this, the two things I can't really watch are torture porn and then anything that involves the sexualization of children.
00:38:05.000How do they pitch this to the young kids' parents?
00:38:07.000Listen, this is going to be a film, we want it to be clear, this is a film about the coming of age of young women and the sexual pressures and exploitation that are forced upon them.
00:38:26.000But we do think that the message will be very clear and you will see it.
00:38:29.000It will be tastefully done with proper artistic measures taken so that people understand this is not about the sexualization of children but that young women can be anything they want to be.
00:39:28.000I would only allow it if there's a very short cut of a child pelvic thrusting into the floor and then it results in a nuclear holocaust and it ends with the message, don't hump the floor.
00:40:39.000It was a very good indictment of the system and the people that protected him and especially everything bad that was happening and how these women were groomed and how their sense of identity was compromised at the young age of 13.
00:40:51.000And now we've got eight-year-olds that you're saying you're doing the exact same part of it.
00:40:56.000I mean I wouldn't be surprised if Glenn Maxwell has a frickin executive producer credit on I was going to say, I thought it was in poor taste that Epstein had an associate producing credit.
00:41:08.000I believe we have Rand Paul on the show, so I believe he's waiting for us.
00:41:13.000We are going to go to the latest installment of White Privilege Boys for you guys first, and then talk about the recent close call that he had, along with some of the Democrat politicians who are taking their own private security measures while encouraging the defunding of police for you.
00:43:14.000And unlike other companies who claim small batch or premium, Black Rifle Coffee isn't roasted, frankly, until you place your order, making sure it's the freshest coffee.
00:44:45.000You, obviously people know that you recently had a run-in after you spoke at the RNC a few weeks ago.
00:44:52.000And this is when Trump's nomination happened.
00:44:55.000Can you explain for people who may not be familiar, I think everyone is, what happened afterward when you were, what I saw, was being mobbed?
00:47:00.000But as we got within about 20 yards of a police car with two or three policemen standing there and some police motorcycles, I think, Right as we saw them, we were headed towards them.
00:48:12.000Even with us standing next to the policemen, I wasn't sure that we would not be overwhelmed by the size of the crowd and the policemen.
00:48:19.000I don't think the policemen knew who I was either, so I leaned over to him and said, they know who I am, I'm in Congress, you need to call for reinforcements.
00:48:29.000So he calls into his headset, I can't hear what he says, but we're still there for probably 15 minutes with the crowd becoming more and more menacing.
00:48:37.000At some point, a few more policemen show up, and they have bikes, and they use the bikes and their bodies to serve as sort of a barricade, a human barricade, to try to walk slowly, and this crowd sort of keeps pressing in.
00:49:28.000It's like putting up, you know, just one of those ballistic testing gels in front of the bulletproof vest so you'll offer him some more protection.
00:49:35.000But I did want to ask you one thing because you just said they knew who you were.
00:49:38.000I would argue They know that you're famous.
00:49:42.000They didn't know who you were because they were chanting, say her name, say her name.
00:49:45.000These people don't even know that you were the one who authored the Justice for Breonna Taylor bill.
00:49:54.000I was amazed that they picked you, of all folks.
00:49:56.000Yeah, there's a certain irony to being threatened with violence by people saying, say her name, when I've actually met with the family and I've also introduced legislation.
00:50:05.000The Breonna Taylor Act gets rid of no-knock raids.
00:50:08.000I've never, I've just never been a fan of no-knock raids.
00:50:11.000I think going in in the middle of the night for marijuana or some drugs It's a threat to the police officers who often get shot, but also inside people get shot, and I think of it from my own personal perspective.
00:50:22.000If someone comes in my house after 10 o'clock, I'm not asking a lot of questions and I'm probably shooting, you know, because nobody can come in.
00:50:29.000You're just not used to someone coming in your house after not, you know, this is after midnight.
00:50:34.000Unless you're Barney Frank and it's your basement, but yes.
00:50:39.000Anyway, so they're chanting this, and not one of them has any idea of introducing this legislation.
00:50:47.000Black Lives Matter, the woman who's in charge of it in Louisville, was asked about this, and she said, yes, we could see fear in their eyes, but we want them to live in fear.
00:50:58.000We have to live in fear, so they should.
00:51:00.000So the goal is not changing legislation.
00:51:03.000The goal is terrorizing public officials.
00:51:07.000And the thing is, Every damn one of them needs to be arrested as far as I'm concerned.
00:52:20.000Corporate America is giving money to Black Lives Matter.
00:52:23.000And my guess is if we follow the money, the people who paid for the plane tickets and the hotels
00:52:28.000and the people who continue to do this, it's Black Lives Matter.
00:52:32.000But people should not be giving money to a group that is then funding thuggery.
00:52:37.000If you're in favor of trying to support African Americans and success and all this for the community, give it to the United Negro College Fund.
00:53:03.000Do you believe that Black Lives Matter, knowing what we've just discussed, should be classified, or at least gets close to being a domestic terrorist organization?
00:53:37.000I mean treating them in the sense of keeping an eye on them and being aware of their... because like you're saying, you know, listen, if there are sleeper cells that people discuss, We always are following the money trail.
00:54:02.000I think there definitely is an aspect of that.
00:54:04.000The danger of calling the whole group terrorists is there are probably elements of it who are peaceful protesters arguing for speech.
00:54:11.000And so I hate to say that we're going to completely eliminate this.
00:54:14.000See, in a marketplace of ideas, I would rather that we announce and me, I have a voice on television, begin to tell corporate America you're making a big mistake.
00:54:24.000So I know a gentleman in my town who works in pharmaceutical sales for like a big pharmaceutical company.
00:54:31.000If he donates to Black Lives Matter, they're doubling and tripling his donation.
00:54:35.000It is a preferred and it is a supported donation with this large pharmaceutical company.
00:54:41.000They need to be told that they're supporting thuggery and that at least an aspect of Black Lives Matter are thugs that are inciting riots and that are preaching that we should have our public officials live in fear Yeah, I agree.
00:55:06.000I delineate between the sentiment, the idea of the movement that Black Lives Matter, all
00:55:09.000lives matter, Black Lives Matter justice, the idea that nonviolent drug offenders should
00:55:13.000not be held in prison or held longer than their sentence like we see with Kamala Harris
00:55:18.000and Donald Trump has done a lot for criminal justice reform.
00:55:21.000I know Gerald wanted one, but we'll have to get you in later.
00:55:27.000Do you think that there's going to be more unrest or what do you expect if President Trump wins re-election?
00:55:33.000We just went through a bunch of articles here posted at Daily Beast and these plans to occupy the White House.
00:55:40.000I'm not positive, but what I would say is I think there is more unrest in our cities if you do not arrest the perpetrators.
00:55:58.000If people can throw rocks at the police and not be arrested, if you can punch a policeman and not be arrested, if you can throw a Molotov cocktail, if you can set a fire and not be arrested, That's what happened.
00:56:08.000So you have to have some ability to arrest the lesser crimes for a reasonable amount of punishment, but you have to do that.
00:56:17.000With regard to the election, I think it's really the philosophy of the two candidates.
00:56:21.000Joe Biden says, oh, I'm not for defunding the police, but I'm for reallocating the money to other places.
00:56:27.000That sounds to me like defunding the police.
00:56:29.000Joe Biden has not spoken out, neither has Kamala Harris, have not spoken out and said the violence against my wife and I was wrong.
00:56:36.000They're saying, oh, setting fire and burning the courthouse is wrong, but they're not rebuking Black Lives Matter for the tactic of assaulting and confronting and terrorizing, basically, public officials.
00:56:55.000So, yes, I think there'll be more violence and there will be a reaction if If Trump wins, but in some ways in the long term, the only way you get less violence in our cities is you got to get rid of the people who run the cities.
00:57:06.000And for 50 years, Democrats have run all of our major cities.
00:57:10.000The top 10 cities with a top 10 murder rate all are run by Democrats and have been for 50 years.
00:57:16.000So what we need to do and what needs to happen to the good people who live like on the south side of Chicago and are plagued by this violence and have their little kids shot in drive-by shootings, they need to be told, Democrats don't give a crap about your young black kids who are being shot.
00:57:31.000Democrats have run your city and allowed this violence.
00:57:34.000And if you want to get rid of violence in your city, vote for a Republican.
00:57:38.000We have lots of African-American Republican candidates.
00:57:42.000The woman running In Baltimore, the young man running against Maxine Waters.
00:57:48.000We have some good candidates out there who are African-American, but care about the community enough to want to stop the violence.
00:57:55.000I think that this is a perfect example, you at this point in time, Mr. Rand Paul, doctor, that doctor, Mr. Senator, Mr. Congress, of reasonable libertarianism, of what libertarianism actually is, because both you and President Trump, okay, probably you're very anti-war in general, President Trump is one of the most anti-war presidents that I can remember in modern history.
00:58:15.000You're anti-arresting people for drug offenses.
00:58:50.000Mayor Andrew Ginther of Columbus, his security is being upped.
00:58:54.000Ted Wheeler of Portland, once they tried to burn down his condo, all of a sudden he's just, it's just a dust cloud of Mayor Ted Wheeler from where he used to be, and he's in a different county.
00:59:04.000Do you think that's important right now as kind of a representative, the baton holder right now of the sort of libertarian movement that explaining to people a legitimate role of government like a police force that can protect its citizens is not socialism?
00:59:18.000No, and I think it is important for libertarians because some libertarians online have been criticizing me for wanting to go after some of these violent people in the cities.
00:59:35.000But libertarians, if they're thoughtful libertarians, are not against using probable cause and the Fourth Amendment.
00:59:41.000If you assault a police officer, you've got probable cause of that.
00:59:45.000You can go to a judge and say, the person who assaulted the police officer, should we look at their visa bill and their hotel bill and find out who's financing their behavior?
00:59:54.000Without question, that is completely libertarian to be for law enforcement.
00:59:58.000What would be not libertarian would be to say we're going to search the financial records of all people who we do facial recognition of who are marching in a protest.
01:00:08.000That would be terrible and I'd be absolutely opposed to that because I've been part of protests from the Tea Party movement.
01:00:14.000I don't want indiscriminate searching, but someone who commits a crime Yes, you look at their financial records.
01:00:19.000You have probable cause to and you get permission from a judge for that person.
01:00:58.000And it's not just about hypocrisy, like, hey, look, you're being a hypocrite.
01:01:01.000It's about the fact that they are systemically putting other Americans at risk, often the most vulnerable in minority communities, where over 80% of black Americans support at least as much, if not more, of a police presence than they have now, while they upgrade all their own personal security.
01:02:20.000That's why there's no consistency on the left, because right now they feel like, well, we're part of the 93, and we ain't another percentage.
01:02:26.000Once you're a part of that small percentage who the other minority of Americans want to harm, and you realize that they're getting off scot-free, that guy punched a cop.
01:02:37.000Punched a cop to the point that he needed stitches.
01:02:40.000These guys, I wonder if these police right now, if they're at the rights, if there's like hockey players where they're not even going to replace their teeth, they're just going to put a mouth guard in and clear up the scar tissue after they're done with their whole career.
01:02:49.000That's what they do in hockey, because they're going to lose it again.
01:02:51.000They're like, I'm going to replace the tooth.
01:03:28.000You know, the guy who met with Breonna Taylor's family, right?
01:03:32.000I'm surprised we haven't seen an article that was like, Rand Paul comes to be white savior, talks to victim's family, tries to get justice, we don't need you, whitey.
01:03:41.000I mean, that's literally anything that he does, BLM twists the entire opposite way.
01:03:47.000If they're not out there trying to assault him, his wife, or the officers who are protecting I think that if you just got these Black Lives Matter... I mean, assuming there was a rational molecule in their body, which, listen, I stretch.
01:03:59.000But the point is, I bet if you were to get someone who could think critically, who is on board with the idea of Black Lives Matter and police brutality and having, you know, limited government intrusion, if you could get them copies of Reason Magazine from the 90s, 80s, whenever it started, through now, they would find more articles on police brutality or police reform in the Libertarian And it's the Rand Pauls of the world.
01:04:21.000It's like Cigar Aficionado with Michael Jordan.
01:04:27.000I bet you it's like Cigar Aficionado with Michael Jordan.
01:04:29.000I bet you they had more cover models than the Pauls in Libertarian Weekly.
01:04:35.000Yeah, well, you made a great point, too, asking him about making Black Lives Matter, you know, declaring them maybe a terrorist group or something like that for domestic terrorism.
01:05:37.000Next week, Tuesday night, we're going to be live streaming the town hall.
01:05:41.000Let me wrap this up and talk about Fat Pride.
01:05:45.000Not just that, but sometimes people say, I've gotten some flack lately where people say, hey, you can be harsh.
01:05:52.000And let me explain to you why I'm harsh, or why Rand Paul sometimes can be harsh, and why the right wing, why conservatives can be seen as harsh.
01:06:16.000If we were at a point right now where black lives were not as valued in our legal system, our currently established legal system as white lives, yeah, we need to fix that.
01:06:27.000And I would be right there with you when that was the case, before the 1960s.
01:06:30.000So I'm not saying it to be a little pissant.
01:06:32.000I'm saying All Lives Matter, including Black Lives, I'm on board with you.
01:07:49.000So the people who take those steps, who make that effort, despite the fact that it's not their natural inclination, are the ones that really touch me.
01:07:57.000So why am I harsh when I say, hey look, you shouldn't be telling people who are 400 pounds test holiday, or anyone out there, or Black Lives Matter, use them as an analogy here, but you shouldn't be telling people that it's okay and they shouldn't feel ashamed for things that are bad for their health.
01:08:12.000You shouldn't tell people that, hey, it's okay, you shouldn't be ashamed of the fact that you mouthed off to a cop.
01:08:18.000That could be hazardous to your health.
01:08:31.000It comes from love being harsh, because anyone here who's ever accomplished anything, you can take AudioWade with guitar, you can take Corda Black Garrett with also music, what he's done with all these crafts and the makeup and the artifacts that he can make, like the Ark of the Covenant.
01:08:45.000You guys don't know, I can't look in the green room without my face melting.
01:08:55.000Whatever it is that you have worked hard to achieve, that is the greatest feeling in the world because it can't be cheated!
01:09:01.000That feeling of accomplishment, of overcoming, of insurmountable, seemingly insurmountable obstacles, being overcome and knowing that you did it, Through putting in the work when no one expected you to is the kind of feeling that cannot be faked.
01:09:18.000Just like getting an A on a test for a kid gives him a kind of feeling that you can't fake by not using a red marker.
01:09:26.000Just like a kid scoring the winning soccer kick, I don't know if they're called goals or ball and net, I'm straight!
01:09:33.000But just like the kid winning the soccer game, you don't give him the same feeling by saying, you know what, we're going to even out the score.
01:09:42.000And so when you just excuse behavior that you know is detrimental to people's, not only their lives, their livelihoods, their well-being, and then turn around and talk about mental health, well, guess what?
01:09:53.000The best thing that someone can do for their mental health is getting really, really good at something or accomplishing something.
01:10:05.000I see it as sociopathic to try and rob people, whether it's a minority, whether it's discriminated against gender, sex, take your pick today, or a fat person because you want to white knight really for no one else but for yourself to feel good about telling somebody to be complacent.
01:10:21.000So I want you folks out there to take inventory of folks in your lives And maybe some people who you thought are hard asses, like I've had this in my life, I've had it with my dad when I grew up, I'm like, why is he so hard?
01:10:31.000I realized that it's because he loved me most.
01:10:33.000He expected the most of me, and he was accomplished in what he did.
01:10:38.000And he knew that it was a feeling that couldn't be faked.
01:10:39.000So people who are out there, I want you to think, take a second, think of someone who maybe you sort of mislabeled for a while, as someone who you thought was an ass.
01:10:51.000And ask yourself, were they actually just harsh?
01:10:54.000Were they actually just rough around the edges because they cared?
01:10:57.000Sometimes caring can come across as mean, even though that's not the intent.
01:11:05.000And I want you to think of that person, once you think of them, reach out and thank them.
01:11:09.000And then think about what it is that they were being mean about, that maybe you weren't comfortable dealing with, and go and deal with it.
01:11:18.000Because we've all had it in our honest, quiet moments.
