Donald Trump's Mar-a-lago home has been raided by the FBI, according to a statement from the President himself, and a reporter has confirmed it. Plus, a new episode of Tales from the Inverted World with Larry Elder.
00:01:15.000The Hill is reporting definitively that Donald Trump's home has been raided by the FBI.
00:01:19.000It's unclear exactly why, but boy, do we have to talk about this one, because this is one of those moments when you question how long until dark days get really, really dark, you know?
00:01:31.000I don't want to say too much, but there are times in history when we talk about when people realized things were getting too dangerous in their own country.
00:01:37.000I think the former president having his home raided by the FBI when he's already passively announced he's going to be running for president, basically.
00:01:44.000And we know that this is an attempt to stop him from running.
00:01:50.000I'm just gonna jump straight into the promo spot.
00:01:52.000Before we get started, my friends, head over to surfinginternetsafe.com to get VirtualShield, a virtual private network service to help keep your data safe while you browse the web.
00:02:01.000They were prying eyes, government hackers.
00:02:04.000Just regular old hackers want to steal your data.
00:02:05.000Major corporations tracking everything you do.
00:02:08.000A VPN from VirtualShield gives you a basic layer of security.
00:02:11.000So again, go to surfinginternetsafe.com.
00:02:13.000They say their VPN service is compatible with all devices.
00:02:16.000It allows you to browse the web safely, securely, and anonymously using their global network of private IPs.
00:02:22.000It allows you to browse the web so that big name IP internet service providers and other third parties will not be able to monitor your internet activity.
00:02:29.000When you're using their VPN, your traffic is routed through their secure and encrypted servers.
00:02:34.000That means any restrictions, censorship, and blocks are bypassed.
00:02:43.000All you gotta do is download it, press go, you're good to go.
00:02:46.000They have personal, family, and business plans available.
00:02:49.000The family plan includes 15 devices, business plan as many as you want, and it will actually encrypt your Wi-Fi connection as well, blocking hackers and everyone else from accessing any of your data.
00:03:26.000Two documentaries are moving forward in the works and I believe the gun control doc may actually be done in only a few months because it is happening.
00:06:14.000Uncle Tom came out on June 10th in 2020.
00:06:16.000It costs about half a million dollars to make.
00:06:19.000The rule of thumb is if you make three times your cost, you have a hit movie.
00:06:23.000It made ten times its cost, had a higher IMDB rating than any of the ones that were nominated that year for Best Documentary by the Academy Awards, a higher Rotten Tomatoes rating, and couldn't get arrested by the Academy, even though we had a consultant to try and get it at least considered for consideration for an Academy Award.
00:07:34.000But I also want to make sure we're just clear, The Hill is reporting definitively The FBI raids Trump's Mar-a-Lago.
00:07:40.000So while many outlets are saying Trump announces it's happened, there's at least The Hill saying it's definitive.
00:07:46.000I have another journalist who messaged me, confirming through multiple, they say, confirming through multiple sources, the FBI has raided Donald Trump's home.
00:07:55.000They say, or I should say, we say over at TimCast.com.
00:07:58.000President Donald Trump announced the Federal Bureau of Investigation has raided his private real estate in Florida.
00:08:03.000Mar-a-Lago is, quote, currently under siege, raided and occupied by a large group of FBI agents, the former president said in a statement around 7pm.
00:08:11.000I mean, this is this is happening right when we're all excited.
00:08:45.000I think that this has been planned for a hundred years.
00:08:47.000I'm not talking about the raid on Trump.
00:08:48.000I'm talking about technocracy and, you know, the military.
00:08:52.000Well, the military part of it came in the 40s and 50s with the opportunity after World War II to establish global dominance.
00:08:57.000But like the Federal Reserve, they really want to control the environment.
00:09:01.000This is just another stepping stone as far as I'm concerned.
00:09:04.000I think it's a very scary development.
00:09:07.000I thought at first people who said if Donald Trump gets indicted or if he gets prosecuted for alleged insurrection, We would be having some sort of violence in the streets.
00:09:18.000You know, for the entirety of Trump's presidency, Hillary referred to the election of 2016 as having been stolen.
00:09:23.000She called Donald Trump illegitimate to the point where 67% of Democrats, according to a YouGov poll, believe that the Russians changed vote tallies in 2016 to get Donald Trump elected.
00:09:34.000Jay Johnson, the Department of Homeland Security Secretary, testified under oath.
00:09:38.000The Russians tried, but they failed to change a single vote tally in 2016.
00:09:42.000Yet, a super majority of Democrats believe that they did.
00:09:45.00078% of Democrats believe the Russian interference changed the outcome of the election.
00:09:49.000And Jay Johnson testified, we don't know!
00:09:51.000We'd have to have a world where there was interference, one where there wasn't, and compare the two.
00:09:54.000Since we can't do that, we just don't know.
00:09:56.000But 78% of Democrats, according to a Gallup poll, believe the Russian interference changed the outcome of the election.
00:10:01.000In other words, a greater percentage of Democrats believe 2016 was stolen.
00:10:06.000The Republicans feel the same thing about 2020.
00:10:08.000Hillary joined a lawsuit, Jill Stein, to overturn the Wisconsin election and filed a separate motion to have the recount done by hand.
00:10:15.000Nobody calls her a purveyor of the big lie.
00:10:18.000Her social media platforms have not been shut down, even though she said, as I said, for four years Donald Trump is an illegitimately elected president.
00:10:26.000It's a double standard that slaps you in the face.
00:10:28.000Hillary skated when she clearly violated the Espionage Act.
00:10:31.000She had a private server in her basement.
00:10:33.000She got and received secured information, classified information, lied about it, and skated.
00:10:39.000And the law does not require any intent.
00:10:41.000But James Comey did this big presentation, at the end of it he said, but she lacked the intent.
00:10:48.000This is double standard, and it's outrageous, and there might very well be violence in the streets now because of this.
00:10:52.000There's a couple ways I think we can look at it, depending on how you want to give the benefit of the doubt to Democrats.
00:10:57.000Donald Trump was very passively looking into the Ukraine dealings of the Biden family.
00:11:03.000For doing such, he was accused of trying to dig up dirt on his political rival just before the upcoming election, even though Joe Biden had not announced nor even hinted that he would be running for president.
00:11:14.000I mean, this is like a year and a half before he made his announcement at all.
00:11:19.000We do have evidence of potential malfeasance.
00:11:21.000I should say, Joe Biden did a quid pro quo with the president of Ukraine, fire the prosecutor, or you're not getting the billion dollar loan guarantee.
00:11:29.000And they said, well, it was in line with foreign policy.
00:12:30.00016% of Biden voters say had they known about the Hunter Biden laptop story, which was suppressed by Twitter, suppressed by Facebook, they would not have voted for Joe Biden.
00:12:39.000Clearly the election then would have been in favor of Donald Trump.
00:12:43.000And Donald Trump's referred to as the big guy getting 10 percent on the laptop.
00:12:47.000And Joe Biden, Hunter Biden's complaining that his dad gets half of all.
00:13:10.000It is something that's very serious and could jeopardize Biden's presidency.
00:13:13.000I want to read the statement from Donald Trump here for you guys.
00:13:16.000his announcement that this raid happened, he said, These are dark times for our nation.
00:13:20.000As my beautiful home, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege,
00:13:24.000raided and occupied by a large group of FBI agents.
00:13:27.000Nothing like this has ever happened to a president of the United States before.
00:13:31.000After working and cooperating with the relevant government agencies, this
00:13:34.000unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate.
00:13:38.000It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the justice system, and an attack by radical left Democrats who desperately don't want me to run for president in 2024, especially based on recent polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and conservatives in the upcoming midterm elections.
00:13:54.000Such an assault could only take place in broken, third-world countries.
00:13:59.000Sadly, America has now become one of those countries, corrupt at a level not seen before.
00:14:22.000I'm not the biggest fan of Trump, but I do think he's the funniest president.
00:14:25.000That what if while they were raiding his place, that's when he just stood outside and announced he was running for president defiantly as they're like just moving safes out.
00:14:34.000He's like, by the way, I am running for president.
00:15:47.000It's the same thing with violence in the street.
00:15:49.000For everyone who rightfully condemned violence in the street when it was the left, it's like, we don't want to do that.
00:15:55.000I think people on the left as well, when something unconstitutional happens, when something shady happens, when people need to be held accountable, still make your voices heard.
00:16:02.000The media should still cover this responsibly.
00:16:05.000But yeah, we don't need to, uh, no pitchforks yet.
00:16:07.000Well, people on the left, uh, because Donald Trump got elected in November of 2016, there was violence in four, over four days in 40 different cities.
00:16:17.000And when Donald Trump was inaugurated in January, No, and that's what's so frustrating is I wish that people, and I say this every time I'm on the show, would have principles and not parties.
00:16:37.000And that means if your side is doing the thing that you criticize the other side for, not only should you call it out, you should be more upset.
00:16:46.000Not every single person on the right, obviously, but today the right, as the media describes it, is an amalgam of a bunch of different political parties.
00:16:54.000I mean, libertarians, like, it's funny when they meme Dave Smith because he makes a tweet about the left overreacting, and they say, here's you overreacting, and it's like January 6th.
00:17:10.000So the issue is, like, Whatever they describe the right as is actually constantly pointing the finger like, hey, that was bad, you shouldn't do that.
00:17:17.000Whatever the left is, is completely oblivious or just outright does not care.
00:17:21.000And when you call them out, they call it whataboutism.
00:17:26.000Benny Thompson is the chair of the January 6th committee.
00:17:29.000January 2005, after George W. Bush gets re-elected, he joins 88 other Democrats to overturn the election, claiming that there was voter manipulation in the Diebold voting machine in Ohio.
00:17:42.000And it wasn't successful, but he did not want those electors to be seated.
00:17:47.000Nobody called him threatening the integrity of our democracy.
00:17:51.000And Democrats tried to challenge electors in 2000.
00:17:54.000Al Gore to this day believes the Supreme Court put George W. Bush in the White House.
00:18:00.000Maxine Waters and others challenged 2004, along with Bennie Thompson.
00:18:04.000And more states were challenged by the Democrats in 2016 in January than Donald Trump challenged in 2020 in January.
00:18:14.000You've got a cult and everybody else and I feel like we can say that stuff all the time We can make the memes and post the videos.
00:18:22.000Maybe maybe it will you know Wake a lot of people up But there is still a massive base of people that don't know don't care and even if you tell them that they're gonna say so what I know they're driven by tribalism and that's the problem right I think a lot of people On the left and on the right.
00:18:39.000They don't even realize the scope of the bubble they're in.
00:18:52.000It's usually just people who agree with them.
00:18:55.000And then I hear someone like Larry talking about even things about student debt and Black Lives Matter before the show that literally I didn't know.
00:19:03.000Now, it's not Not necessarily the average person's fault.
00:19:10.000But it's not the average person's fault for not knowing.
00:19:13.000It is their fault for once you do find out something that changes your narrative, not going, oh, damn, okay, maybe I need to change my mind or look at that in a more open-minded way.
00:19:24.000I just want to point out how deluded, deranged I think the Democrats are.
00:19:29.000Jamie Raskin sent me a text asking for money for a political campaign.
00:19:34.000Jamie Raskin, the guy who falsely, who smeared me on January 6th hearings, including a clip of me reading a Fox News article alongside other people calling for a red wedding, texted me saying, I need your help, please donate.
00:19:48.000He was, by the way, one of the 88 Democrats that voted not to certify the election in Ohio in 2005, January 3rd.
00:20:02.000There's single layer issues, and that seems to be the only thing the left understands.
00:20:06.000They don't understand what comes next.
00:20:08.000But there are even many people that don't see beyond the first, second, or third layer of events.
00:20:14.000Back in 2018, When I'm watching people fighting in the streets, my point when I said we're on track for a civil war is that the culture war you're seeing on the ground is going to reach the highest level of government.
00:20:27.000There's no indication it won't be the case.
00:20:29.000Now we're at the point where the FBI has just raided the home of a former president You can't get any higher than that.
00:20:36.000The DOJ of the Democrat administration has raided the former Republican administration president's house.
00:20:42.000They've arrested several of his administration officials.
00:20:57.000With what's going on with the abortion voting?
00:20:59.000The only reason I'm very hopeful that there's not going to be a civil war is because people on the right have guns and most people on the left don't know how to fight.
00:21:08.000So, you hear people on the right say, oh, the right's got guns, what does the left have?
00:21:11.000Well, the socialists have guns, the Socialist Rifle Association exists, and Democrats are weaponizing law enforcement in ways that conservatives won't do.
00:21:19.000Jamie, let me give you an idea of how scary it gets.
00:21:21.000I have a friend that I've known for over 40 years.
00:23:12.000And the, you know, you seem like a, you've been very kind and intelligent and I've learned things.
00:23:19.000My question is then how does someone, and this is like an honest question, is how would you, if we're trying to avoid civil war, which seems like, I don't know, a priority, how does the right, how do you, especially as like a public figure, Kind of, try to not turn into that same tribalized left.
00:23:41.000How can you, or is it even your responsibility, try to get your fans to reach out?
00:23:47.000I mean, quite literally, if his whole point is that he reads the facts to figure out what's true and someone else doesn't, you don't need to avoid doing it, you're just not doing it.
00:23:55.000No, but what I'm saying is like, Do people like us, and I'm even counting myself being on this show, do we sort of need to go above and beyond to, instead of just attacking, attacking, attacking, try to get the other side to see the facts in a compassionate way like you attempted with your friend, and then it's on your friend that he didn't respond.
00:24:13.000The problem is one side, and I'm generalizing obviously, one side, the left, believes the right is not just wrong, that they're bad people, if not evil.
00:24:20.000We believe, or at least I believe, people on the left are ill-informed and need to be better educated.
00:24:25.000But I don't dismiss them as evil bad people.
00:24:28.000I have a recent friend, leftist as all get out, named Jackie.
00:24:33.000Jackie hates Donald Trump and believes Donald Trump engaged in an insurrection, a coup.
00:24:39.000So I sent her an article written by Alan Dershowitz, who is a left-wing professor, voted twice for Obama, but been very fair and very even on this issue.
00:24:49.000And he talked about the 9-11 committee, how unfair it was, how one-sided it was, that Donald Trump in his speech said, I want you to patriotically and peacefully go over and make your voices heard.
00:25:27.000In fact, I think the left is the example of the banality of evil.
00:25:31.000And it doesn't matter if it's left or right, any kind of historical context.
00:25:34.000Let's just call it blue and red or A and B, whatever it is.
00:25:38.000When you've got libertarians, post-liberal, disaffected liberal, conservative, Republican, whatever on one side, disparate ideologies, people disagree, having a conversation.
00:25:46.000And then you have people who are driven by emotion, won't even bother to read the facts.
00:26:54.000At CNN, producers, saying that in our nine o'clock meeting every morning with Jeff Zucker, Jeff Zucker hates Donald Trump, has a vendetta against Donald Trump, and he wants us to do anti-Trump stories to the exclusion of other news.
00:27:07.000Well, and to your point about your family, I feel like my job here today is to stop a civil war instead of promote my gigs.
00:27:15.000To your point, I'm really glad you brought up your family because what I was gonna say And I'm not disagreeing with you guys a ton, but I want to say that...
00:27:26.000Twitter liberals, Antifa liberals, media liberals are far different than, and same with conservatives, than the people I meet at Jiu Jitsu, who we're all hanging out.
00:27:40.000We don't care about political parties.
00:27:43.000Maybe people on the left are like, yeah, I'm liberal because I don't care if gay people marry and I'm against the war.
00:27:52.000They barely know about January 6th, nor do they care about it.
00:27:55.000I had a meeting with a friend in New York, and when I tried explaining to him that Democrats tried to legalize abortion up to the point of birth, he said that's impossible.
00:28:04.000And I said, you are actively speaking out, this person with a high-profile platform, in defense of their bill, without having read it, because you can't believe that I would be right at all.
00:28:18.000When people engage in evil actions, and it's become a normal process, What I don't understand, though, man, is, like, I'm an artist, which means legally I have to hate myself.
00:28:31.000I cannot be the only person that, when in a room with you guys, hears something I don't know and go, oh, damn, I never thought of it that way.
00:28:39.000I feel like there are other people out there like that.
00:28:41.000During the debates, Bernie Sanders was specifically asked, do you believe that There's a point beyond which an abortion is murder.
00:28:52.000And when I was running for governor, the Texas so-called fetal heartbeat bill got passed, and I was asked over and over again about abortion because I'm pro-life.
00:28:59.000And I said, would you just ask my opponent, Gavin Newsom, just one time, at what point does he feel that pregnancy has gone so far that it would then become murder?
00:29:08.000And his position is up to including the moment before birth.
00:29:12.000Although Larry, I can say if we disagree on everything else, the rest of the show, we can agree and become friends on the fact that I too do not like Gavin Newsom.
00:29:27.000It's come up a few times about accusing people of being the banality of evil.
00:29:31.000Tim, you have actually called me the banality of evil multiple times, but I think that, like, we're supporting slavery in China that's getting us this cheap technology.
00:29:40.000Like, my cell phone was only $600 instead of $1,150 because it was made by Chinese slaves.
00:30:10.000They make the point that life has become so complicated, it's impossible to get into the good place, basically heaven, because no matter what you do, you're doing something bad.
00:30:18.000You buy some flowers for a friend to cheer them up.
00:30:20.000Well, those flowers have pesticides, which is killing bees, which came from slave labor.
00:30:24.000I can understand the complexities of human life on the planet, and like you mentioned, sweatshop labor and all those things.
00:30:31.000But there could be people who are actively opposed to that, speaking out against it and trying to stop it.
00:30:35.000The difference is, when you cheer on and vote for, intentionally, FBI raiding, being weaponized to go after people and destroy.
00:31:12.000There is an issue that we all kind of just churn along, not realizing that the computers we have are made by people who are, you know, Foxconn labs when they're committing mass suicide and things like that.
00:31:44.000And what also was scary is the unwillingness to look at the result of your actions, even if your actions were, the intent was a valid intent or a kind intent.
00:31:56.000The 800-pound elephant in the room in this country is the large number of kids who enter the world without a father married to the mother.
00:32:03.000In 1965, 25% of black kids entered the world without a father married to the mother.
00:32:07.000Barack Obama once said, a kid raised without a dad is five times more likely to be poor and commit crime, nine times more likely to drop out of school, and 20 times more likely to end up in prison.
00:32:19.000Now it's 70% of black kids entering the world without a father married to the mother.
00:32:22.000It's because the welfare state has incentivized women to marry the government and incentivized
00:32:26.000men to abandon their financial and moral responsibility.
00:32:28.000Forty percent of all kids in America are born without a father in the house.
00:32:31.000Twenty-five percent are white kids, half of all Hispanic kids.
00:32:38.000And when you don't have a father in the house, it's not just a financial problem, which is
00:32:43.000huge, it's you don't see two adults interact civilly, resolve problems.
00:32:48.000You don't see somebody get up and go to work in the morning when he doesn't feel like going.
00:32:51.000All the values that it takes in order to be a responsible citizen, you don't have.
00:32:55.000That's why we have so much crime and such dropouts right now and a lot of people who are functionally illiterate.
00:33:02.00085% of 8th grade black kids in America can neither read nor write at proficiency levels.
00:33:07.000That means 85% of 8th graders, black 8th graders, are functionally illiterate.
00:33:11.000When you are functionally illiterate, you are easily misled by emotion.
00:33:14.000And it's a huge problem, and both parties, in my opinion, completely ignore that issue.
00:33:18.000Yeah, well I think it aids certain political parties because the kids end up looking to the government, they look for a strong man, they look for a father.
00:33:25.000And a boogeyman, and they look for something that made them a victim.
00:33:29.000And that's why so many black people are misled and believe in that America is systemically racist.
00:33:33.000I was talking to some local school professionals, and one of the things that I was talking about with some people there was, people don't know what to do with their lives.
00:33:45.000People want to work hard, but let's say this, let's say right now you lost your job and you're like, you know what I really love doing?
00:33:57.000The funny thing is we look at video games like World of Warcraft, so popular.
00:34:01.000It's gamified, this dopamine release where you accomplish goals, but it's fake.
00:34:06.000The difference I was talking about, why is it that people will sit there playing a video game where they get the forest leather boots of agility, but they won't just go and actually level themselves up?
00:34:16.000The thing is, No force boots, that's why.
00:34:18.000No, it's because in the real world, there is no quest giver who says, if you do 10 push-ups, you will then see plus one strength.
00:34:27.000There's no leadership, and it's in line with what you're saying about fathers.
00:34:31.000When you have someone who says, here is your quest, and they accomplish their quest, they get a dopamine hit, it feels good.
00:34:36.000In a video game, they tell you what to do, you do it, it works.
00:34:42.000This is what we're missing from in real life.
00:34:44.000We're starting to lose in real life, as you were mentioning, And the irony, the information to build a birdhouse and to start a business has never been more accessible.
00:35:41.000People like Goggins and Rogan and you, Tim.
00:35:44.000I mean, I followed your work, Larry, you know, but people like Larry Elder, like Every time I struggle, every time I'm depressed, I don't go to a therapist.
00:36:00.000As I said, I've been on radio for 30 years and in 30 years I have not been able to get Jesse Jackson on my radio show, Maxine Waters, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, even though I've reached out to them hundreds of times.
00:36:11.000The one so-called black leader, a term I don't particularly like, who came on my show is a guy named Kweisi Mfume.
00:36:18.000At the time, he was a president of the NAACP.
00:36:21.000He was a congressman both before and after becoming president of the NAACP.
00:36:25.000And my first question was, Mr. Mfume, As between the presence of white racism or the absence of black fathers, which poses the bigger problems of the black community?
00:36:33.000Without missing a beat, Ian, he said the absence of black fathers.
00:36:36.000Again, far and away the biggest problem.
00:36:38.000And Barack Obama's first book was all about the angst over not having a dad in his house, A Dream for My Father.
00:36:43.000Al Sharpton had a nice middle class life until his father ran away with another woman.
00:37:51.000Now I'm 15 years old, Tim, and I said to myself, next time he yells at me, and we're talking about a diner where everybody can hear everything.
00:37:56.000It's not like it's privately in the back.
00:37:57.000He yells and screams at me and you're looking at customers watching the whole thing.
00:38:01.000I said, I'm going to walk out next time this S.O.B.
00:38:40.000I was 15 when this happened, but then I graduated from high school.
00:38:44.000My dad worked long hours for the next two years.
00:38:46.000I just made sure we weren't in the same room.
00:38:47.000Then I go to New England for college, Midwest for law school, end up working in Cleveland, and I would visit my mom all these years, of course, but I would just make sure my dad and I were not in the same room.
00:38:57.000We said nothing to each other for 10 years.
00:38:59.000Now, just real quickly, now I'm 25 years old.
00:39:03.000I passed the California bar, the Ohio bar.
00:40:16.000And my dad looked up and said, is that it?
00:40:19.000You didn't speak to me for 10 years because of that?
00:40:22.000Now I should tell you I knew nothing about my father's life other than I knew he was an only child because we never got any Christmas presents.
00:43:37.000And then the other time I was married, you were married twice before mom?
00:43:41.000I was 18 years old, I married a girl 18, her parents found out I was an 8th grade dropout, marched her down to the courthouse, annulled the marriage.
00:44:13.000You get out of life what you put into it.
00:44:15.000Larry, you cannot control the outcome, but you are 100% in control of the effort.
00:44:19.000And before you moan, groan about what somebody did to you or said to you, go to the nearest mirror, look at it, and ask yourself, what could I have done to change the outcome?
00:44:26.000And finally, he said, no matter how good you are, how hard you work, bad things are going to happen to you.
00:44:30.000How you address those bad things will tell your mother and me if we raised a man.
00:44:34.000From that point on, the next 35 years, my dad and I were the best of friends.
00:44:37.000I wrote a book about this called Dear Father, Dear Son, Two Lives, Eight Hours.
00:45:17.000Let me ask you then, based on what your dad was saying, you mention Jim Crow self, your father, they wouldn't give him work, outright slurring at him.
00:45:28.000Why don't you, first, I guess the question is, what do you think systemic racism is?
00:45:33.000And then why would you say there isn't any?
00:45:35.000Well, systemic racism means top-down stuff, the way it used to be during Jim Crow.
00:45:40.000I'd ask you to give me the example of a corporation, a Fortune 500 corporation, an institution, a college, media, military, where there's top-down racism.
00:47:39.000So what happens today is you have areas that are, you end up seeing racially fractured communities.
00:47:49.000One area is all white, they had racial covenants, which were eventually made illegal, but then you have, you know, a white grandfather gives it to his son who gives it to his, you know, son or whatever.
00:47:57.000You have areas that are predominantly white, black, or otherwise.
00:48:00.000What ends up happening is you have impoverished black people as a result of a lot of these policies.
00:48:06.000Because of the way the cities are set up- They should move.
00:48:09.000And nothing's stopping them from moving.
00:48:11.000We interviewed people and asked them about it, and they said- Move.
00:48:14.000I lived in Cleveland for a number of years, and I remember when I first got there in 1977, there was a newscast of all these white people living in Akron, where there was 25% unemployment, complaining about the steel mills going away.
00:48:38.000I want to get your thoughts on their claims.
00:48:43.000What ends up happening is something they call going on tour.
00:48:45.000Where if you have a busted taillight and you drive from your town four miles to your job, you go through four or five cities.
00:48:53.000You get pulled over in each one, you get a ticket in each one, and then you go on tour through their jails where one $20 infraction you can't pay for turns into four weekends in jail where they keep trading you to the next police station.
00:49:07.000This is what they refer to as remnants of racial covenants, which created multiple jurisdictions,
00:49:12.000which have a negative impact on people today. We did ask people, why don't you move the area?
00:49:16.000Well, people who have negative bank accounts, I mean, theoretically could just start walking.
00:49:21.000But I think for a lot of people that they don't know, or it's just not reasonable, I suppose.
00:49:26.000I'm not saying that is systemic racism.
00:49:28.000It's what they claim is systemic racism.
00:49:30.000I of course followed Ferguson greatly and the Obama White House comes in and they accuse the Ferguson PD of being systemically racist for the reasons that you mentioned.
00:49:39.000It turns out that Ferguson is 67% black, but 85% of the traffic stops are of black people.
00:49:50.000New York is 25% black, but almost 55% of the traffic stops are black people.
00:49:55.000That's a 30-point gap, even bigger than Ferguson, yet NYPD officers, street officers, the majority of them are people of color.
00:50:01.000Turns out that Obama did a study called Race and Traffic Stop, came out in 2013 by the National Institutes of Justice, which is a research arm of the DOJ, and you name the traffic offense, a black motorist was more likely to violate it, whether it was speeding, driving without an expired tag, driving without a proper headlight.
00:50:17.000Uh, driving without a seatbelt, driving without a child safety seat in the back when you have a kid.
00:50:21.000You name the offense, black motorists are more likely to commit the offense.
00:51:01.000So the police come and they say, you're going to spend a weekend in jail then.
00:51:04.000But the moment you get out of jail, the next department is waiting right outside saying, you're coming to us next.
00:51:09.000So what they refer to as institutional racism is not that the individual officers are being racist, but that due to the remnants of the past, There are negative consequences for people who live in this jurisdiction today, and they don't know what to do to stop it, solve it, or get out.
00:51:26.000Again, I would just say it's a real simple solution.
00:52:25.000And it always has to be all or nothing when we're screaming at each other on Twitter.
00:52:29.000But, like, a lot of times it's not racism.
00:52:32.000It's that cop didn't train jiu-jitsu and doesn't know how to put on a proper chokehold or doesn't know when a person is completely out and just needs to be trained.
00:52:38.000There's a city in California called Rialto.
00:53:54.000And when they got busted because of Rialto, they stopped doing it.
00:53:57.000I just want to circle back real quick to what you were saying about, actually what Tim was saying about this kind of, when you feel like you're underwater, right?
00:54:07.000I don't have money to get out of these situations.
00:54:09.000I think a lot of what we're talking about right now, it's institutional problems, right?
00:54:14.000It's the government, welfare state, we're doing a lot of talking about them, but for people listening to the show, right?
00:54:22.000Before you have a kid before you're ready or split on the mom before you end up in a situation.
00:54:31.000I mean man, I've been in situations where you just feel like You just feel like checking out is the only answer, where it's, you know, you're broke and you finally get a thing, and then that falls through, and then you just keep digging, digging, digging, digging, digging.
00:54:45.000What's your, because man, I was so touched by the story you told about your dad.
00:55:41.000I would just say, when it comes to, at least where I grew up, ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking it.
00:55:48.000So I, as well as many other people, have found ourselves unwittingly having committed a crime, not realizing it was because it was seemingly innocuous.
00:55:56.000Like, when you get a ticket when you're driving in Illinois, you can keep driving, it's no problem, you got a ticket.
00:56:01.000It's like, so you drive, they take your ID, you keep the ticket, when you get pulled over, you show them the ticket, they say, okay, you pay it off, they send you your ID back.
00:56:07.000What I didn't know, because they don't tell you this in Driver's Ed or anything, is that if you get two moving violations under the age of 21, they suspend your license.
00:56:14.000So sure enough, I got a Class A misdemeanor, which was a threat of a year in jail and like a $2,500 fine.
00:56:20.000It wasn't just something I could avoid.
00:56:35.000My point is simply though, you know, I feel like the system is, is, is it a simple way to put it is it might be easy to say avoid the law, but for a lot of people, the system is just busted.
00:58:04.000You're still in America, where people in Cuba are braving shark-infested waters to get here, where people from Haiti are trying to get here, Central America, Mexico.
00:58:12.000They would love to trade places with us as we sit here and bitch and moan about relatively minor things.
00:58:38.000I thought it was interesting how you talked about not knowing the law about the tail lights or suspended license.
00:58:45.000It's systemic ignorance, maybe, of the law.
00:58:47.000But what it makes me think of when I think of systemic racism is that 200 years ago, all these black people from Africa were slaves and they were intentionally not educated.
00:58:57.000They were intentionally not taught to read and write.
00:58:59.000Then they were eventually let out or whatever, slavery ended.
00:59:27.000I think the implication today is, you know, often what I talk to people about is the policies of racism have, like, been made illegal.
00:59:35.000And you actually can make—there are people who make money suing whenever they perceive it.
00:59:39.000Like, right now you've got these selected videos where a Muppet person won't hug a black kid.
00:59:46.000But they don't show you the videos where the Muppet people don't hug the white kids either and things like that They're just very bad Muppets you guys or whatever you call them.
00:59:52.000I don't know if they're Muppets It's Rosita and it took place at Sesame Place in Philadelphia And there's video showing Rosita high-fiving white kids ignoring black kids and when somebody made that video put it on on web it went viral and a bunch of other people who went to Sesame Place over the years and Found videos where this thing was happening, so maybe something is going on there, but my problem is this There's 25 million dollar class-action lawsuit been filed Jesse Jackson writes a letter to Sesame Place accuses him of engaging systemic racism The family that filed the lawsuit is from Baltimore
01:00:44.000That's half of all the high schools in Baltimore where the kids in the inner city are either 0% proficient in math or only 1% are proficient.
01:00:51.000Jesse Jackson said nothing about that.
01:00:53.000He said nothing about the fact that Philadelphia, where Sesame Place is, is on track to register the highest number of murders in the city's history.
01:02:02.000But the problem is if we're talking about these fake stories, then we
01:02:06.000can't actually come up with solutions about what to do with real racism.
01:02:09.000And I thought about our friend Bill Ottman who did the Minds Convention
01:02:13.000that we all performed at and he actually had because you were talking
01:02:16.000about a lot of black intellectuals not going on your show, but he had
01:02:19.000Coleman Hughes on a panel with Cornel West and it was awesome.
01:02:23.000Awesome, because they were respectful to each other, and they were both looking for solutions.
01:02:27.000And I think it is so cowardly of Democratic black intellectuals not to go on your show, because it shouldn't be about, we're just gonna shout talking points at each other.
01:02:38.000If you care about racism, you want all voices from all political sides to be like, hey man, there's a problem, what do we do to fix it?
01:02:45.000But let me just say, as you mentioned, You've got murder, you've got homicide, but what are these lawyers going for?
01:02:52.000Perceived slights at a wealthy theme park or something.
01:04:46.000And every year they had a feature, Jamie, called the 100 Most Influential Black Americans.
01:04:51.000And every year excluded from that list were Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, who was absolutely brilliant.
01:04:59.000He was once called by David Mamet, the playwright, America's greatest contemporary philosopher, not included in Ebony, and Walter Williams, the first and only black person that I know of to be the chairman of an economics department of a non-historically black college.
01:05:12.000They don't even know who these people are.
01:05:15.000I didn't know Thomas Sowell, and I knew Clarence Thomas is like, the pube guy.
01:05:22.000Where even if you disagree with him, it's like, so how do you exclude somebody who's on the Supreme Court from one of the most influential black people in America?
01:05:33.000And of course, I was never in it, and a bunch of other people who are younger black conservatives were never in it.
01:05:39.000You've seen the polling data, probably more so than I, on black voters as it pertains to the Democrats moving forward, and it's looking really bad, I hear.
01:05:50.000Blacks are still the only major demographic where Biden is still above water.
01:05:54.000And by the way, since you brought this up, there's this business about dropkicking Biden-Kamala Harris in favor of somebody else because their poll numbers are so bad.
01:06:02.000Kamala Harris's are worse than Joe Biden's.
01:06:12.000Black people are the most loyal part of the Democratic base, and black women are more loyal than black men.
01:06:17.000And her approval among black females is probably in the mid-70s.
01:06:21.000And if they perceive Kamala Harris to be a dropkick for somebody else, especially a white man, after decades they've indoctrinated black people into believing when you criticize a black person, often the criticism is because of sexism and racism.
01:07:17.000Because the Democrats have lost the white vote since 1964.
01:07:20.000They rely on convincing black people that the issue is social justice, not crime, not schools, not breakdown of the family, but the fact that there's systemic racism.
01:07:28.000And Democrats have convinced black people that that's the number one problem facing America.
01:08:04.000First of all, conservatives are more religious than liberals.
01:08:09.000Liberals give just as much money as religious conservatives do, but there are just fewer of them.
01:08:12.000And secondly, most conservatives believe that welfare should be done people-to-people, church-to-church, organization-to-organization, not government.
01:08:19.000And they walk the walk and talk the talk.
01:08:21.000And so it's really interesting how a lot of black people perceive the Republicans to be only concerned about money, when in fact they're more generous with their time and with their money than liberals are.
01:08:30.000Well, I think Republicans are spiking the football a little early on the midterms because inflation is getting a little bit better, the gas prices are getting a little bit better, and they're able to spend the jobs report, even though most of these jobs that were created The last month were part-time jobs.
01:08:51.000And the media is still in bed with Joe Biden.
01:09:17.000People, they look at the historical trends where the president's party loses seats in their first term.
01:09:23.000They're looking at the misery index saying Democrats are going to get crushed.
01:09:28.000And then there are some polls that just came out recently, in aggregate, showing that the race is tightened.
01:09:34.000That Republicans, so for months, we're talking about how Republicans were up three points in the generic ballot, which is apocalyptic for Democrats.
01:09:42.000Now it's like 0.1, or even I think 538 has it inverted, Democrats have took the lead again.
01:09:48.000Still, historically, that should signal Democrats losing.
01:09:51.000But I'm telling people, if you look at that stuff and you think that means, you know, Absolutely.
01:09:56.000Yeah, we're treating Biden right now like a, like a toxic boyfriend or girlfriend where it's like, I know I should break up with her, but I don't want to get back on Tinder.
01:10:01.000the polling, no matter what the polls are, you need to get three or even 10 of your friends
01:10:28.000And if you look at RealClearPolitics, you can see that the gap just closed from Democrats to Republicans.
01:10:33.000In aggregate, this is not one single poll.
01:10:35.000Yeah and again I don't even know if I'm a democrat anymore you guys.
01:10:39.000I've been calling myself a bleeding heart centrist but I will say like for liberals listening you want to hold your party accountable.
01:10:49.000You want to have the best democratic party that actually has values and morals and isn't just a bunch of corporate hacks.
01:10:58.000You want the best But who are you talking to?
01:11:01.000You don't want to just blindly support a president who's doing a terrible job because that is bad for the future of
01:11:08.000the party That's bad for you. Who are you talking to? I don't know
01:11:12.000man. There's another person out there like me somewhere You just changed somebody's life. I hope so
01:11:18.000I feel like for you you had to get thrown to the wolves by the left before you finally well
01:11:22.000That's why I'm trying to help everybody listening It's like, guys, don't rock bottom like me.
01:11:27.000Don't let your life be destroyed before you're like, maybe I should have a Republican friend.
01:11:32.000Just one, because they'll be like, I don't care about your politics anymore.
01:11:35.000And I'm like, oh, we can just hang out and play basketball.
01:11:37.000What was the spark where you realized something was amiss?
01:11:40.000I mean, I did before my life fell apart.
01:11:43.000It was when I would hang out with prominent liberals and they would talk a certain way and say that certain things were silly and then they would go to their Twitter and say the opposite.
01:11:58.000Um, it was when the first time I talked to people who were more conservative or libertarians were people of color at my jiu-jitsu gym, where when I went to like staff meetings of liberal publications, their get-togethers in like Park Slope, Brooklyn, it was very, very white and very, very privileged.
01:12:19.000You're like, hey, all that stuff you're saying, it applies to this room.
01:12:23.000But it was that, it was they'll be tweeting about Black Lives Matter as they're walking down the street, and they're like, oh, black person, cross the street, cross the street, cross the street.
01:12:29.000Like, it was just, it was the hypocrisy.
01:12:31.000This is Sweden, in my experience, to the T. Because I went to Sweden, do you remember that, when Donald Trump said, you know, the last night in Sweden thing?
01:12:41.000So this was back in 2017, there was a documentary that came up on Fox, or like a short talking about crime going up in Sweden.
01:12:49.000I go there, and I find that a lot of the claims are largely exaggerated and didn't understand the complexities of Sweden, but what I did find is that people in Sweden are, so many of them, not all of them, but so much of their culture was very much in advance of how the U.S.
01:13:02.000was, they are, like they're Scandinavian white people, talking about how not racist they are, and then trying everything in their power to keep black people away from them, because they were just, they wanted people to think they weren't racist, But they were really racist, but I should also say maybe that's actually wrong.
01:13:19.000Maybe I should say culturist because they didn't like people who didn't speak their language.
01:13:24.000They didn't like people who didn't look like them.
01:13:35.000I'm thinking like if you're raised, if I was raised in like a tribe in Africa with people with darker skin tone or whatever, that I, then I would be weirded out by people with light skin tone.
01:13:45.000If I saw, not necessarily weirded out, but like, it's a familiarity bias.
01:14:13.000And in the 90s, he says America is the least racist majority white society in the world, provides more opportunities for blacks than any society in the world, including all of those of Africa.
01:14:22.000I want to tell you a quick story, Jamie.
01:14:23.000When my race was over, I'm in a restaurant in L.A.
01:14:27.000on the west side, and I get there, and my buddy hasn't arrived yet, and there's a table next to me with two ladies, and I think they feel sorry for me, so they start talking to me.
01:15:06.000I said, how do you feel about the crime?
01:15:08.000And she said, I have a friend who got mugged and told me about that.
01:15:10.000I said, how do you feel about the quality of our schools?
01:15:12.000She said, I would never put my kids in a public school.
01:15:14.000How do you feel about the way Gavin Newsom shut down the state in a more severe way than anybody else did?
01:15:18.000Sitting up there at that restaurant, not wearing a mask, not engaging in social distancing with the people that drafted the mandates, had his own kids in person.
01:15:24.000She said, I thought it was hypocritical.
01:15:25.000How do you feel about the fact that people are leaving California?
01:16:11.000I've made jokes about it on Cast Castle on the podcast because essentially it's saying
01:16:15.000that if you evolve a viewpoint, if you step out of your bubble, if you, you know, I mean,
01:16:23.000I didn't, I expected when I came on this show that I would just kind of be like token liberal
01:16:28.000guy, make jokes, make fun of myself, all done.
01:16:32.000And I've been fascinated at How my, a lot of my views have changed and not because, you know, Tim hired me when I was like liberal, liberal, liberal.
01:16:44.000Um, my views have changed because I'm just talking to different people, which we should all be doing.
01:16:50.000And in fact, when I talked to some conservative friends and I still give some of my bleeding heart points of view, they go, Oh man, I never thought of that either.
01:17:15.000Give me something I've said wrong, thought wrong, and I will change my mind.
01:17:18.000My God, I got excited when you quoted Malcolm X. Okay, I'm back, I'm focused.
01:17:22.000One thing you gotta be careful of is love bombs from getting this new crowd of followers.
01:17:26.000Oh, we talked about that with the Marjorie Taylor Greene where every time now I get a compliment, they're like, we're love bombing you, Jamie.
01:18:03.000If you are asking questions to people on the left and to people on the right and your only goal, like you said, Larry, is justifying the truth or like, dude, I just want people to start coming up with solutions.
01:18:16.000And I know that if we're screaming it, that's why my questions to you.
01:18:20.000We're all about like, Hey, how do we get people to talk about this?
01:18:29.000Let me actually ask you then, I guess, the next step in the question of solutions.
01:18:35.000If the perception is that people are unwilling to listen, they're hyper-tribalized, you're friends of 40 years, I think you said, was it 40 years?
01:20:19.000What your sexual orientation is, 2 plus 2 still equals 4.
01:20:24.000I think that a piece of relationship advice I actually give that I think we could really use when it comes to politics is if me and Ian are in a relationship and we get into a fight and all I want to do is prove that Ian's wrong and all he wants to do is prove that I'm wrong.
01:20:52.000And I think that if you're in a fight with your girlfriend or boyfriend or whoever, if you can just focus on, hey, what can I, what could I have done better?
01:21:01.000Even if I'm in, even if clearly my girlfriend was in the wrong, right?
01:21:05.000And I'm just like, well, I guess I could have reacted better.
01:21:07.000And then I get to bring that to the table and she brings that what she did wrong to the table.
01:21:41.000But if you don't feel what they feel about it, then it's not, the word true doesn't really ring.
01:21:46.000You have to connect with them on like a human level.
01:21:48.000I think I'm sure you've learned that in years of, of radio and speaking where it's, yeah, if you're just shouting facts that someone who disagrees with you, you're right.
01:21:57.000But if you can actually connect with them as a person through like stories, like the stories you tell about your friends, I go, Ooh, I've had a friend I've had to walk away from, from that.
01:22:05.000And you feel it and you can connect to it.
01:22:57.000One of them, I believe, was a fact issue.
01:23:00.000Two of them were for quoting the president himself.
01:23:03.000And two were because we had sentences that were just a little too similar to other organizations, even though the sentences themselves were quite generic.
01:23:10.000The reason why I think this is relevant.
01:23:12.000This affects how we get viewed on Facebook.
01:23:14.000If you share one of our articles, this is how the cathedral operates.
01:23:18.000We use NewsGuard as a bias checker on our own.
01:23:23.000If we report a story that says, how about this?
01:23:25.000The Hunter Biden laptop was confirmed and the emails in it are known to be real.
01:23:31.000Well, if someone tries claiming we're spreading conspiracy theories, I need only look to the Daily Mail and the New York Post, who are certified by NewsGuard and said this is true.
01:23:41.000And then I can say, take it up with that certified agency used by big tech companies.
01:23:46.000They claimed That because in two articles we did a fact-based report, Donald Trump says, quote, in response to quote, that because we didn't run a fact check, we are irresponsible and sharing misleading information.
01:24:02.000Because as NewsGuard said, Trump's quotes were provably false.
01:24:27.000In the nutrition label, and again, I have to stress this because this is what they consider to be the standard for big tech, they had four errors outright.
01:24:39.000Incorrectly labeling my job at Timcast, at Vice, and at Fusion.
01:24:42.000Falsely labeling Tales from the Inverted World as science fiction and fantasy.
01:24:47.000They corrected all of those immediately only after I told them they made the mistake.
01:24:52.000They injected opinion, referring to Cask Castle as mundane, and the best part of the whole thing is they- That's the most offensive part of it all.
01:25:02.000They have injected a false quote from me, which has to be the most egregious thing, and this is what I want to say, and I want it to be on the record, and forgive me if it's a bit internal or esoteric to the industry.
01:25:16.000When you have an organization that violates its own standards and accuses you of being irresponsible, well, now we have... The FBI?
01:25:30.000They say, asked by NewsGuard about the above unchallenged claims.
01:25:33.000This was because we quoted, we said, Donald Trump says quote.
01:25:38.000In an email, Poole said, we will institute a policy immediately on all quotes bracket that are false bracket moving forward to run fact checks and we'll have those two articles updated immediately.
01:25:50.000I never said that, nor did I imply it.
01:25:55.000I told NewsGuard that if you require us to run a fact check on Donald Trump's quotes, the policy would require us to fact check every single quote from anyone we ever report on.
01:26:07.000And we will do that if that's what your standard dictates.
01:26:11.000That would put NewsGuard in an impossible situation and potentially put them in civil tort liability positions, so they injected a false quote from me that said that are false, which I never said.
01:26:22.000I have requested a correction twice now on that false quote.
01:27:08.000Because they alerted us to five articles and we didn't catch them, that means we're irresponsible.
01:27:13.000I got six errors from you on your own website.
01:27:17.000If your standard is that we have to be more responsible than you are, I'd love to see you file that in court so I can parade it around after we file if you don't correct this.
01:27:26.000Also, what are the news organizations that led us into war with Iraq?
01:27:32.000Ladies and gentlemen, I give you USA Today.
01:27:36.000USA Today receives a 100 out of 100 credibility rating, despite the fact that on their page they say, in June 2022, USA Today took down nearly two dozen stories by a reporter whom the newspaper said appeared to have made up people she quoted.
01:28:51.000You, as a news organization, quoting the President of the United States, either way, whether Trump was right or wrong, is still covering the news.
01:29:01.000And it is certainly, certainly less nefarious than NewsGuard purposefully misquoting you.
01:29:08.000I will add, this is part of what gives them the credibility as their agency, but I want to stress that it's used by these big tech companies.
01:29:15.000But I also want to stress, the purpose here is to show you what their standard is.
01:29:19.000When they claim the New York Times is factual, when they claim that USA Today is factual, they emailed me saying, you're going to love this guys, because we didn't talk too much about this before.
01:30:11.000You've got to understand, guys, this culture war and the issues we're facing with censorship are deeper than just one story about Elon Musk and Twitter.
01:30:48.000Wikipedia, their article about me is actually fairly neutral or opinion.
01:30:54.000Veritas, I believe Wikipedia's, I'm not James so I don't know for sure, but I believe it's verifiably false what they've published, which means they would have standing and then what they need to do is challenge Wikipedia's 230 protections under the grounds that they've put their byline on the article.
01:31:12.000As for NewsGuard, I have done everything to make sure that anything they do grants me standing, so I can make sure they have to file in court why they're lying, have no standards, or are factually incorrect, and then I will... we'll just leave it at that for the time being.
01:31:28.000Now, I like NewsGuard in that if they... I like in the respect that We'll use them, and I'll say, don't look at me, they're the ones certifying it.
01:31:40.000That's what they are, the responsibilities they are taking, and I can respect that.
01:31:43.000But don't come to me and tell me there is no standard by which we can be deemed a credible news organization when you have lower standards for other organizations.
01:31:50.000That I find to be slanderous and defamatory, and the fact that they fabricated a quote for me crossed the line.
01:31:56.000I was content with saying, they need to correct this earlier today, until I read they fabricated a quote for me to protect their asses.
01:32:03.000Did they take a quote and then add stuff to it?
01:32:13.000Which is also, I believe, I would argue maybe even grounds for malice because what I actually said was, it's an impossible standard, but we'll do it.
01:32:22.000To add those words is to imply my statement was actually that we will begin fact-checking false statements that we weren't fact-checking before.
01:32:30.000It is to imply that I was accepting false statements.
01:32:35.000No, we have a corrections policy and we don't allow false statements.
01:32:38.000But you can't know if something's false until after you fact-check it.
01:33:42.000The truth will not set you free if delivered without hope.
01:33:47.000My husband and I have been having an ongoing conversation over whether facts care about your feelings, and I argue that you can't convince someone of a fact unless you also care about the feelings.
01:33:55.000It's kind of like what Maya Angelou said.
01:33:57.000She said people will forget what you said, they'll forget what you did, but they'll never forget how you feel.
01:34:01.000My mother couldn't stand Maya Angelou.
01:34:23.000So I don't like to use that Maya Angelou quote because I don't like her either, but I think she has a point in that people don't really care if you're presenting them with facts, if you appear to not care about how they feel.
01:34:33.000Well, that's why comedy can be so powerful, right?
01:34:35.000It evokes a physical feeling, and then if you can laugh together, chances are you can figure some stuff out together.
01:34:41.000And it would be nice if late night comedy wasn't so far to the left.
01:34:44.000The only one is Greg Gutfeld, the only one that's late night that is not left-wing.
01:34:49.000And to be fair, about 15% of young people admit that they get their primary source of news from the monologues.
01:34:54.000Larry, I would like to argue that they're also not funny, so not technically convenient.
01:34:59.000Well, we're going to go to Super Chats.
01:35:01.000If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button and subscribe to this channel?
01:35:05.000We are going to have the Members Only Uncensored After Hours show that will be published on the website, TimCast.com, at about 11pm.
01:35:42.000When I ran, she ran a column, and the headline was, Ian, Larry Elder is the black face of white supremacy sub-headline, you've been warned.
01:35:51.000There's another columnist with the LA Times named Jean Guerrero who referred to my views as white supremacists.
01:35:56.000What did you say that made people think that?
01:38:35.000Do you think with the, I mean, kind of on the same subject, with the accusations of being a white supremacist, I can't believe I just said that to your face!
01:38:45.000I couldn't even make eye contact with you!
01:38:47.000Come on, Jamie. I worked hard for that. Yeah. Okay. Sorry.
01:38:51.000Yeah, that's right. Do you I mean, man, like hearing you explain these views long form on
01:38:59.000this show. It's you're not saying racism doesn't exist. So let's leave the problem alone. You're
01:39:07.000offering solutions to help black communities. And so if you're trying to still help the black
01:39:11.000communities, even if people on the left don't agree with you, that's not white supremacist.
01:39:15.000It would be white supremacism if you were like get them out of here.
01:39:18.000Why can't we have a discussion about that?
01:39:19.000You know, Jamie, over the years I will get a letter from somebody or somebody will call my show and say, now Larry, you say racism doesn't exist, but let me tell you something.
01:39:27.000I said, $100,000 to your favorite charity where you can find where Larry Elder wrote or ever said racism doesn't exist.
01:39:44.000People get really, sometimes they get fired up when I talk about the Roman Empire, but I feel like the Romans were the slaveocracy to try to conquer the world.
01:41:24.000All right, let's see what we can grab from these super chats.
01:41:27.000Shinobi Strongside says, or it's Shinobi Strongside, ignorance, having the capacity and access to relevant information and consciously choosing to ignore it, not to be confused with nescience.
01:41:40.000Oh, they say ignorance is knowing, but choosing to ignore it as opposed to nescience.
01:42:16.000Well, there are a lot of private schools.
01:42:20.000There are a lot of pro-choice organizations that have been set up.
01:42:24.000There are a lot of charities that are very efficient.
01:42:26.000For three months, I volunteered for the United Way once.
01:42:30.000For every dollar that government spends on welfare, about 70 cents is burned in transfer costs, rent, those kinds of things.
01:42:36.000Every dollar donated to an organization like United Way, 85% gets down to the intended beneficiary because most people, like I was, are voluntary.
01:43:11.000I mean, this is probably a basic question that you get when you talk about fatherhood, because I was really captivated by that.
01:43:16.000And, you know, obviously there are a lot of marriages that are horrifically dysfunctional, right?
01:43:23.000So what's the advice you give or the solution for, you know, is it better to have A single mom who loves you unconditionally, who crushes it, who's doing everything she can, then an incredibly abusive marriage that now you're watching and that's shaping you.
01:43:42.000Obviously, it's better to have a mother that loves you than a dysfunctional, angry, violent marriage.
01:43:47.000Again, the whole point behind watching your mom and your dad is to watch them resolve disputes without anger, without rancor, without violence.
01:43:54.000If you don't see that, you see it resolved violently, you're going to behave that way as well.
01:45:30.000My brother never told me until my dad told me.
01:45:32.000Man, this is the exact same thing we were talking about with politics because I remember it was my brother that convinced me to talk to my dad.
01:45:40.000And I actually had a story in one of my old stand-up CDs all about that moment when you realize that the reason that you hated your parents is because they were decent people.
01:45:50.000They're not supposed to be your buddy.
01:45:52.000And it was the exact same thing where I was like, Dad was such a jerk he didn't want me to play in like a band and my brother was like hey man do you remember what dad's day-to-day looked like and then just mapped out waking up at four making us breakfast driving two hours for all this stuff and you just go oh god it like it was for me i realized it was it was me
01:46:11.000You know and and and if people could so much of it just has to do with ego and being right and being married to
01:46:16.000These stories whether it's well I grew up Democrat or whether it's why I grew up hating my
01:46:21.000dad or whatever story you tell yourself or whether for the people listening
01:46:24.000with mental health stuff like if it's Your story about you being a bad person or you being a
01:46:30.000failure They're all stories man, and you can over when I was
01:46:32.000writing the book. My dad was alive He died as soon as I finished the book and as I was writing
01:46:36.000it, I would ask him questions about what did you do?
01:46:38.000Here, why'd you do this? Yeah, and he says why are you writing a book about my little life?
01:46:41.000I said dad your life wasn't little it was epic. You just don't know it
01:47:19.000Turns out the bank robber was wearing the same color pants, same color shirt, was a black man who was bald, had the same, roughly the same complexion.
01:47:37.000It's just my flight got delayed last night and I got on a one like one in the morning and I shamefully went to a Taco Bell drive-thru and it looked like I felt like a prowler too.
01:50:15.000But either way, this is... When they announced Trump's actions were being investigated, I'm like, that doesn't mean they're investigating Trump.
01:50:23.000So it could be that they're trying to pull back.
01:50:26.000They don't want to come out and announce they are doing it because it would shock people, or they're not really doing it and they want it to seem like they are to try and hurt him.
01:50:36.000Maybe they're like a search warrant for someone else because Mar-a-Lago is massive and they're trying to just make it look like Trump is going down for something.
01:50:45.000But either way, at this point, it doesn't matter.
01:50:47.000Whatever you think it is, the president's home was just raided by a former president, was raided by the feds.
01:50:55.000All right, let's grab some more super chats as we move forward here.
01:50:59.000I think we can jump over to the actual super chats now.
01:51:55.000Also, they're accountable to the people, and the people can be emotional, like the people in the streets yelling and screaming about the man that shot through that door in Baltimore, and the people in the streets were yelling, Black Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter.
01:52:08.000You could get a bunch of people who are emotionally disturbed about something, and they're wrong, and they vote for the wrong person.
01:53:12.000If and when the Republicans take over in November, the House and the Senate, we should have an amendment to the Constitution that fixed spending to a certain percentage of the GDP, with exception for war and for natural disaster.
01:53:25.000Otherwise, both parties expand government.
01:54:09.000He's one of the four people who really influenced my decision to run for office.
01:54:15.000To me, it's difficult for people to really understand right and wrong without a religious foundation.
01:54:22.000You have to understand that there's evil in the world, and a lot of people on the left just don't seem to understand that because they're not God-centered.
01:54:29.000I just wanted to shout that person out because your last line, you asking that question, you're already doing more than the majority of people do.
01:54:40.000So you being self-aware, you looking for ways to lead with love, you're on the right path and I would say as someone who has really, really struggled in his life and with mental health stuff, One of the best pieces of advice I can give is hold yourself accountable, but when you do good, give yourself credit.
01:55:01.000Like you looking for this, you seeking more knowledge and ways to lead with love and you know, I mean one of the things I've started doing is, I heard this great quote where even when you're driving in traffic, where it's treat every car like it's the Dalai Lama driving, where it's like catch yourself, catch yourself when you're judging someone, catch yourself when you're Drawing conclusions catch yourself when you're being
01:55:21.000selfish and don't get mad at yourself when you do it or else you're gonna spiral
01:55:24.000But slowly correct and get better and better try fast Don't beat up on yourself when you make mistakes because we
01:55:29.000all make them you have to get my favorite movie is no country for
01:56:27.000In fact, we explore the differences between the two in Uncle Tom 1, and we get into it a little more deeply in Uncle Tom 2.
01:56:34.000Booker T. Washington believed, when a Negro boy learns to cook, to sew, to wash dishes, or to practice medicine as well as or better than somebody else, he or she will be rewarded without regard to race.
01:57:28.000I, uh, I'm going to say something that I'm uncomfortable saying, but it's just, it's such an opportunity.
01:57:33.000I think I need to, which is, I think that the second that people on the left, and this is so patronizing and gross, and it's the worst part about what people say the left is, um, when they hear a black conservative without actually listening to them or reading them, I've never read Thomas Sowell.
01:57:52.000I'm going to get your books when I go home.
01:57:54.000Um, is this idea that kind of similar to the grifter where it's all you're doing is you're giving racist an excuse to essentially be the black friend, right?
01:58:05.000So when someone does something or they're accused of racism, they can be like, Oh, I'm not racist.
01:58:14.000Because again, I just see a very authentic human being who is trying to solve a problem maybe differently than I would have thought in the past, but you haven't said much that I've been like, Oh, gross.
01:59:26.000I want to make sure she aced the flight exam.
01:59:28.000We've got a big story to talk about for the member section where it's going to get substantially more politically incorrect but fun and important conversation.
01:59:41.000I want to stress that because there are many points to be made on how the Democrats are handling the issues of race in this country.
01:59:49.000And it's funny how they always, the right will call them the real racists.
01:59:54.000Then they say, oh, they're going to call us the real racists.
01:59:56.000And I'm like, bro, you're literally trying to implement race-based policies to restrict people based on race.
02:00:01.000And I'm not talking about white people.
02:00:02.000Like if people complain that someone who's white is being held back because of their race, I'm like, that's legitimate.
02:00:07.000But you're also going after Latinos and Asians as well.
02:00:09.000Like you're just creating these weird race-based policies that are just bad for everybody.
02:00:25.000So a guy named Ted Stepien, an advertising guy, very wealthy, He said that he was going to buy the Cavaliers and when he bought the Cavaliers he said, I'm going to put more white players on the court because at the time the Coliseum was in an area called Richfield, which was way outside of Cleveland, a largely white area, and he felt the white fans would attend games more if the starting five were more likely to be white.
02:00:55.000The team lost more games than the year before.
02:00:58.000They drew fewer fans than the year before.
02:01:01.000They found out white people didn't like watching white people lose any more than they wanted to watch black people lose.
02:01:05.000And the NBA took the team away from him.
02:01:08.000And implemented a rule called the Stepien Rule, which is still in effect today, which means you cannot trade back-to-back first-round picks the way he did to get these white players.
02:01:28.000I know, I can't believe you brought him up.
02:01:29.000This morning, I'm talking to somebody from Georgia Tech, having breakfast with him, and I said, there was a player that went to Georgia Tech around the time you were there.
02:02:48.000I'm going to follow you, brother, right after the show.
02:02:51.000Guys, you can love bomb me on Twitter at Jamie Kilstein.
02:02:55.000Again, shout out to everyone who followed me on Instagram because you guys know I want to get off toxic Twitter so bad, but I have so many more followers there.
02:03:02.000You can follow me on Instagram at TheJamieKilstein, and that's where I'll be announcing my stand-up dates.
02:03:06.000On Instagram, I talk a lot about mental health stuff.
02:03:19.000Raising money to take back the House, the Senate, to campaign against critical race theory in favor of school choice and for initiatives to strengthen families.
02:03:31.000Ladies and gentlemen, we're on the precipice of an evolution towards a new world order of sorts, and it's up to us to decide how this evolution occurs.
02:03:39.000If you will be a passive standard by watching it happen, or if you will participate in the creation of the future, now is the time for you to decide and take action.
