00:00:15.580
is available everywhere now the chad of chads joins me now chad prather how are you i'm doing
00:00:22.080
good man it's good to be with you thanks for having me on hope all is well thank you you too
00:00:26.300
love the relationship we've built with blaze tv your book am i crazy i have it right here it's not
00:00:31.980
your typical book i was looking through it the last couple days it's a book of rants that are all
00:00:37.520
a couple pages long so i thought it was really unique very digestible and some of the rants
00:00:41.180
include that i wrote down trump derangement syndrome 16 year old voters the peloton bike rant which i
00:00:47.540
want to touch on but what inspired you to do this sort of format and write this book so what i did
00:00:53.740
is i i took some things you know if people are reading through it they may even there's some
00:00:58.160
things that i said or ranted on you know maybe a year and a half ago and they were things that
00:01:04.220
people say well that's not relevant like trump's not still president or whatever i kind of walk you
00:01:08.900
through the principles that were of the stories that were going on at the time but the principles
00:01:15.220
remain the same you know some of the things may change uh circumstantially but but the principles
00:01:20.880
remain the same let's face it we're up against this uh what we call this woke culture right and
00:01:26.780
the progressive crazies that are out there you know i asked the question am i crazy and quite honestly
00:01:32.520
we all must be because the asylums are seemingly empty you know the crazies are walking the street
00:01:37.960
not only that they're sitting in office and creating the policies so how do we engage that you know how do
00:01:43.600
we bring common sense back into the public discourse and so that's what i try to do is bring out those
00:01:49.640
underlying principles and help kind of arm people with a little bit of common sense so that they can
00:01:53.920
engage this culture war because let's face it it's a cultural war to the death right now uh especially
00:01:59.600
when you consider cancel culture and all those things of that nature they're really coming after us
00:02:03.920
yeah i like a lot of the way the the chapters or you can call them that are written uh chat explain
00:02:09.740
to the people your problem with peloton bikes please well you know there's a lot of things that are
00:02:16.080
there but it's it's and it's not a problem per se it's just this culture that we've embraced
00:02:20.960
of uh like you know you don't have to get out anymore you don't have to breathe fresh air you
00:02:25.860
don't have to do anything you know the world has been brought to us right it's virtual and like you
00:02:30.580
know you you pay like what three thousand four thousand dollars for this bike to enter into this
00:02:35.260
virtual world right i mean you people ask how much people pay for fitness like i probably have
00:02:42.160
like four gym memberships right now i don't go to the gym i i don't like i don't do any of this stuff
00:02:47.220
but like we've been told that we don't even have to leave our house anymore uh and so obviously the
00:02:52.580
pandemic thing and the quarantines and the shutdowns and the mandates that came along that exacerbated
00:02:57.640
the problem even more uh you know a couple weeks ago whenever facebook was down for seven or eight
00:03:02.800
hours uh on you know that particular monday i thought you know what i'm gonna do i'm gonna go out
00:03:07.900
and see human beings like i'm gonna go visit with people so i went into a store and i was like man
00:03:13.360
people aren't even social anymore they're so used to interacting with through the world with through
00:03:18.160
a screen right and now you've added the masks that people wear everywhere and so so people don't even
00:03:24.660
know how to interact socially have a conversation uh be be congenial be kind uh it's really weird and so
00:03:32.460
this whole phenomenon that we've entered into where we relate to the world through a screen
00:03:36.760
yeah it's become a point where sometimes people don't even realize that uh you can't even see
00:03:43.500
each other's face you go to smile or something at somebody and it's just your eyebrows moving and
00:03:47.480
you're just like i can't tell what this person's saying um something i saw something i saw you talk
00:03:51.960
about with colin kaepernick and this hits me very close to home as a football fan and as a person who
00:03:57.360
doesn't like liars um his netflix documentary among other things compares the nfl draft to slavery
00:04:03.740
which is fantastic of course and i want to show some of the truly moronic imagery he put in there
00:04:09.160
and i want to get your thoughts so can we go ahead and play that please what they don't want you to
00:04:13.060
understand is what's being established is a power dynamic
00:04:17.940
before they put you on the field teams poke pride and examine you searching for any defect
00:04:32.980
that might affect your performance no boundary respected no dignity
00:04:53.740
i don't even know where to begin with that chad what's your initial reaction to this
00:05:13.500
well first of all they they kind of take for granted that white people
00:05:17.480
uh and samoan people and and you know i guess there's maybe some asian players out there somewhere
00:05:23.740
i don't know but you know there's not a race specific sport you know the league minimum in
00:05:29.820
salary i think is about four hundred and eighty thousand dollars annually uh so it's not like
00:05:35.640
these people are being bought and sold and mistreated you know the nfl and professional sports in
00:05:41.240
particular is a is a is a they invest a lot of money they invest a lot of money to you know make
00:05:47.800
their teams competitive uh to compare it to slavery is is asinine for one the hypocrisy of it is just
00:05:55.560
it just absolutely ravages the mind uh and makes you think that i must really be crazy for stupid
00:06:02.640
to absorb this problem you know here's a guy colin kaepernick somebody sent me a message on twitter
00:06:09.160
the other day and said what's your problem with kaepernick they said you know he was fighting
00:06:13.100
police brutality i was like okay if you believe that colin kaepernick was only about fighting
00:06:17.940
police brutality i got a bridge uh this guy who you know what 20 million dollars off of nike
00:06:25.040
you know he markets a pair of shoes that are like 125 dollars a pair who in the world is going
00:06:31.980
out and buying those nike shoes it's certainly not impoverished inner city kids uh that you know
00:06:37.400
according to him have the highest uh chance of being abused and brutalized by the police uh no
00:06:44.760
this is a money right this is when you this is when you elevate victimhood to a place of prominence
00:06:51.560
almost to deifying it and and it makes money with the victimhood you know i keep telling people i said
00:06:59.720
if you don't really have pain and we don't have a lot of pain i mean people go through personal
00:07:04.640
struggles and they have their certain journey we don't have a lot of pain in a very comfortable
00:07:10.100
21st century america so you have to manufacture that pain and oppression and persecution and that's
00:07:15.860
exactly what he's profiting off of he is made he's creating a persecution that doesn't exist i mean
00:07:21.520
to compare these multi-million dollar athletes their multi-million dollar endorsements uh the
00:07:27.600
lavish lifestyle they lead just by simply being able to throw and catch a ball uh with slavery in
00:07:36.320
you know 19th century america it's absolute insanity that's the reason i wrote a book about that
00:07:43.340
the problem i see with a lot of it is people act as if kaepernick didn't make an like an actual
00:07:49.560
statement when he started this a few years ago about what he meant people try to make excuses for his
00:07:54.940
his kneeling when he literally said it's because of oppression from the government through the police
00:08:00.220
on people of color as he puts it and then he came out with his pig socks and his communist t-shirts
00:08:06.080
and he didn't really make any other statements after that he begged to be on football teams they
00:08:10.540
tried to get him on jay-z tried to get him on a team and he scoffed them off he changed his practice
00:08:15.500
if you remember he was supposed to do in front of scouts then he changed the location to a high school
00:08:19.440
last minute it's all a show for him do you think anybody is getting their minds changed by
00:08:24.540
colin kaepner because they're saying maybe maybe this is slavery in the nfl combine maybe the
00:08:29.640
jumping thing is a form of slavery you know um i'll tell you whose mind it influences it's the
00:08:37.840
people out there specifically the ones that i've witnessed who take part in say like blm parades
00:08:44.820
or protests it's you know i was i was uh at one city uh last year blm protest was happening
00:08:52.840
they marched several hundred people marched down the street i think i saw two black people
00:08:57.780
the entire thing out of the hundreds i think i saw two black people total these are people that
00:09:03.400
for the people a lot of white guilt like they feel this need to flagellate themselves to make up for
00:09:10.000
the sins and scars of america you know when you have this idea that america was founded with the
00:09:15.580
declaration of independence 1776 but when the first slave or indentured servant stepped off the boat in
00:09:21.480
jamestown virginia night uh this is the insanity and the revisionists of history are having a
00:09:27.740
heyday with this creating this sense of victimhood that continues to promote this kind of
00:09:32.920
and so again to the degree that you can elevate your perceived sense of manufactured oppression
00:09:39.640
you can make money off of that with jesse jackson al sharp and they've done this thing for
00:09:44.120
generations now uh with no end in sight various other lawmakers like cori bush um you know
00:09:51.400
all of this you're victimized they're not there paul and kaepernick is the list of anyone i mean
00:10:01.020
you want to talk about winning the lottery in life you know not only could be born but his black parents
00:10:08.640
didn't want him so white family adopts him raises him up gives him a great education gives him all
00:10:15.400
the opportunities he winds up in the nfl he's a percentage of a percentage percentage i mean he won
00:10:21.120
the lottery in life this man's not oppressed at all you want to use your platform to speak out
00:10:25.620
against oppression and injustice i'm for that but that's not simply what colin kaepernick's about
00:10:31.180
and anybody with half a brain knows that another thing that happened at a football field
00:10:36.340
i want to transition to that i saw on your twitter actually and so i wanted to ask you about it
00:10:40.720
this vermont high school had a drag show at a halftime uh event a halftime show drag show i guess
00:10:46.600
during a high school football game raises a lot of questions for me uh let's go ahead and show
00:10:50.960
everybody what we're talking about if they haven't seen it please producer a first of its kind
00:10:54.340
halftime show for the burlington high school homecoming football game a drag ball hosted by the
00:10:59.780
gay street alliance club to include the lgbtq community um in a sport that has traditionally been
00:11:05.100
very masculine it's really good for us to be able to add um kind of a gender bending aspect to that
00:11:10.620
bhs students along with students from south burlington and winooski creating their own persona
00:11:15.360
that first guy looked like vladimir putin i don't know if anybody noticed that
00:11:19.000
but uh chad to ask both sides here children or teenagers showing their sides of themselves
00:11:26.040
expressing themselves or inappropriate and over sexualized what's your take
00:11:30.320
well we definitely live in a society today and a culture which is hyper sexualizing our
00:11:36.560
children we're seeing that i always encourage people if you have any opportunity whatsoever
00:11:40.800
if you can't do it right now at least pull your kids out of the public school system they are
00:11:45.840
indoctrinating uh brainwashing institutions that are after the minds and hearts of your children
00:11:50.640
you know hitler said give them to me when they are done i will have them forever
00:11:54.020
uh and we see that happening in this humanistic doing in man system of social socialist uh education
00:12:01.040
here now we're hyper sexualizing everything uh and you know there's obvious obvious problems
00:12:08.260
with having a drag show at a halftime uh high school football game but my thing is look
00:12:14.160
for the gay community out there and i'm not going to speak for them but i i ask a legitimate question
00:12:21.860
does this does this truly represent the lgbtq whatever uh community that's out there by having
00:12:30.820
a flamboyant deal i mean this isn't a pride parade to best hollywood california this is a
00:12:35.420
high school in vermont right and the the community of lgbtq i don't think that it does i don't think by
00:12:43.660
and large this is representative so to me it's a it's more objectifying it's almost like saying you
00:12:49.140
know what we're going to do we're going to celebrate femininity so we're just going to make
00:12:53.160
everybody all the girls are going to wear bikinis and dress up like victoria's secret models and
00:12:57.880
we're going to drop them out there we're going to say this is this is women
00:13:01.920
women to me that's objectifying women right and i think it's the same way with with you know the gay
00:13:10.160
trans lesbian bi community whatever you know this big long list alphabet people as i like to call
00:13:15.040
you know we want to keep doing this but in my in my opinion it's not only hyper sexualizing
00:13:21.080
children and exposing them to things that are very very dangerous just like the other day in orange
00:13:25.320
county california or sorry in uh orange florida you know they took a group of elementary schools
00:13:31.240
and they've done this apparently for the last 10 years to a gay bar gay restaurant uh as a civics
00:13:37.040
lesson you know that's their field trip this kind of stuff doesn't make sense to me and uh parents who
00:13:42.320
approve of it you know really should have their head examined because it's going to lead down a path
00:13:48.140
to a conclusion that you're really not going to like when it comes to fruition yeah my opinion is
00:13:54.160
that the idea what they're dancing around here is that drag shows are inherently sexual and that's
00:13:59.480
what i want to say which you sort of mentioned that if you had a bunch of teenage girls in high
00:14:03.280
school doing a twerking contest on the field i'm pretty sure the parents would have a problem with
00:14:07.800
that but it's like it's because it's boys and they're lgbtq plus 2 aa star asterix it's supposed
00:14:14.680
to be fine and what i wanted to ask you was the men they show the coach there he says he's it's great
00:14:20.500
we've got allyship and all this stuff what do you think is the motivating factor for adults assumingly
00:14:25.660
at least 40 year old plus to willingly go against their inherent logic and indoctrinate yourself
00:14:31.680
willingly into this sort of doctrine well this is what happens when the woke mob takes over and it's
00:14:38.920
almost like you're collecting brownie points you know you know being woke in in a social justice
00:14:44.540
warrior it's not like you're collecting social currency that you can spend at any time because
00:14:49.520
you're showing how open you are to everything and and how open-minded you know you're so open-minded
00:14:56.320
that your brains are falling out look we had uh hazard kentucky the other day uh kentucky of all
00:15:03.260
places they had uh boys who came out at a pep rally dressed like uh females provocatively and they
00:15:11.320
were lap dancing on the mayor full and the teachers the coaches you know this kind of thing and look
00:15:18.920
heads are going to roll over that but you wonder how much of this stuff is going on out there that's
00:15:23.700
not being exposed by the media they're not pointing it out it's it's very dangerous how we're playing
00:15:29.800
with this you know the prefrontal cortex of a teenager is not developed and it's not until about
00:15:35.060
the age of 25 you know as the late great laruck limbaugh used to say their heads are full of much
00:15:40.880
right so we've got to be careful with what we're allowing into the mind and heart to the next generation
00:15:46.460
we know that the woke mob wants to do this they want they want to take over a whole generation
00:15:52.000
uh the norm because they're attacking the the paradigm that is the greater uh worldview that's
00:15:58.900
out there look you know by and large people are going to be uh statistically heterosexual they're
00:16:05.160
going to be statistically traditional in their values in many ways and and you know they're going
00:16:10.460
to base you know their belief system off of things in a way that they're raised they're really trying
00:16:15.140
to destroy our value system that's out there and i tell people all the time i'm a white heterosexual
00:16:21.380
christian male that burns up the ozone with a diesel truck as a dog in the back seat goes to the
00:16:27.060
cowboy hat so to the left and the progressives i'm public enemy number one i'm the problem if you
00:16:33.480
go on twitter and read anything on my profile so to that i say let's remain unapologetic hold on to
00:16:39.780
your values you know we saw what happened in the election yesterday in virginia you know people are
00:16:44.920
tired of radicalism being crammed down their throat they really are sick of it and americans i believe
00:16:50.240
are truly starting to wake up to the nonsense yeah and you mentioned virginia i want to talk about
00:16:56.720
that big uh elections this week and of course young can won his race up against what i see is some
00:17:03.260
really weird and gross tactics so i want to show people the little thing the lincoln project did this
00:17:09.720
democrat fundraising group where they staged basically a bunch of white supremacists supporting
00:17:15.400
the now governor can we play that election day is tuesday all eyes are on the tight virginia
00:17:20.060
governor's race and in the 11th hour the lincoln project added tiki torches to the mix but will they
00:17:25.920
burn the candidate they were trying to help on friday the anti-trump group the lincoln project sent
00:17:31.320
people holding tiki torches to a campaign event for the republican candidate glenn youngkin the men
00:17:36.500
reportedly approached youngkin's bus saying we're all in for glenn in a statement the lincoln project said
00:17:42.300
today's demonstration was our way of reminding virginians what happened in charlottesville four
00:17:47.140
years ago the republican party's embrace of those values and glenn youngkin's failure to condemn it
00:17:52.720
if he will denounce trump's assertion that the charlottesville rioters possessed very fine qualities
00:17:58.000
will withdraw the tiki torches until then we'll be back mcauliffe's campaign condemned the stunt
00:18:04.240
and the virginia showed up at a youngkin event posing as charlottesville protesters a group you're
00:18:11.800
with the lincoln project own that it was them that they pose this way because they wanted people to
00:18:17.200
remember uh you're getting crushed by people on the right uh as a dirty tactic do you stand behind
00:18:23.280
what was done and is that being what you guys say you oppose um no listen every day uh i hear people
00:18:31.320
pleading with the lincoln project to help show democrats how to win how to play hardball um
00:18:37.020
you know this is an example the question here is it's not about some guys who showed up at a rally
00:18:44.200
it's why hasn't glenn youngkin denounced donald trump for saying that there were good people on both sides
00:18:50.880
so we get caught staging white supremacists and saying we're all in for youngkin they get caught
00:18:57.300
showing that it's operatives who work for that uh democratic party there in virginia no apology no
00:19:02.780
we're sorry we shouldn't have done that it's why hasn't trump denounced this or why hasn't he denounced
00:19:07.100
trump saying something in 2017 which isn't actually what he said if you have the internet you can go
00:19:11.360
check but he needs to denounce this thing that everybody knows is a lie anyways chat is there going
00:19:16.960
to be any uh democrat organization who actually has some accountability for their losses or anything that
00:19:22.660
people seem to disagree with which in virginia with stuff like critical race theory uh transgenders in
00:19:29.000
in girls bathrooms there was a rape case there is there going to be any accountability coming in
00:19:33.620
anytime soon you know unfortunately they keep doubling down i first let me just also say it's
00:19:40.160
interesting to me that you cast a black kid as a white supremacist in that little stage
00:19:44.840
uh always fascinating he's internalized it i mean you know i guess so uh you know it's like uh
00:19:52.240
clayton bigsby you know the old dave chapelle yeah a member but he's blind and didn't know he was black
00:19:58.880
right uh kind of funny when they do stuff like that but it's not funny and uh you know it's interesting
00:20:05.520
you have msnbc last night in the in the race as the election results were coming out and the ballots
00:20:11.780
were coming in um they were uh you know they still wanted to bring up the fact that they said well
00:20:17.900
you know remember the fact that donald trump called mexicans you know racist or i'm sorry murderers and
00:20:23.820
rapists and it's like that's not what he said he was talking about ms 13 gang members and you know
00:20:29.040
they portray this stuff because the further away from it you get the more you can continue that
00:20:33.760
narrative like saying um you know they were good people on both sides if you read the full context of
00:20:40.300
what donald trump said in that press conference it's not what he was saying you got to take it
00:20:44.700
all in there and so you know it's the whole thing you know a text without a context is a pretext right
00:20:50.340
and you're going to come to it with your own preconceived notions and the further you get away
00:20:54.260
from an event you can just keep spinning that line people don't really remember it's kind of hazy
00:20:58.600
it's like yeah you know i kind of do remember trump saying something like that and so you can keep
00:21:02.340
spinning this narrative way out of control that's why i keep encouraging people not only be
00:21:07.260
unapologetic but arm yourself with truth and common sense because when you build a house of cards on a
00:21:13.080
bad fault line and philosophically and logically uh there's nothing really holding their argument
00:21:18.520
narrative up a little breath of common sense sometimes it causes that thing to tumble and fall
00:21:23.680
in on itself and we see over and over again like uh terry mccullough's candidacy it it you give it you
00:21:31.600
know you give it enough room and it will wreck itself yeah for sure last question here chad
00:21:37.120
what do you think lessons what do you think what kind of lessons can they take from this election
00:21:42.300
victory you saw um even the uh the attorney general victory and a few other ones a mayoral ship
00:21:48.260
in upstate new york what kind of lessons can conservatives or republicans or the lot take
00:21:52.900
from this election that just happened which was seemingly coming out of nowhere you know they're in
00:21:57.600
trouble when they bring obama out to campaign so maybe they knew something was coming but what kind
00:22:01.800
of takeaways can they take from a victory like this if you're a conservative party
00:22:05.760
well there's two right off the top of my head one as i alluded to earlier americans conservatives
00:22:11.900
patriots they're waking up and they're uh that uh one you don't mess with our kids you know when
00:22:18.280
merrick garland calls parents domestic terrorists uh when this lap racist situation happens uh you
00:22:25.480
don't mess with our kids his school boards these city councils all these things uh you poke that bear
00:22:30.740
long enough if you realize the silent majority doesn't stay silent for long the other thing that
00:22:35.600
i remind people from this just in the last few hours uh since this election now is that the
00:22:41.660
establishment republican party in my opinion is dead it's dead we need to stop trying to wake that
00:22:48.740
beast up it's dead uh it's just as bad as the democrat party uh forget the extremists i'm talking
00:22:55.400
about the establishment the establishment is dead we're seeing people that are spending less money
00:23:00.640
to get elected we're seeing people who are telling the truth being honest not pandering to political
00:23:06.540
party lines and they're winning elections because they're patriots and they're coming out here they
00:23:11.800
believe in getting the government out of our life and uh letting people live and be free and people
00:23:17.720
they're waking up to that message and the spirit of 1776 is quite alive in america today i truly believe
00:23:25.140
that and as my friend matt brevner told me today you can't eat social justice you can't eat rainbows
00:23:31.140
