00:06:15.000 the only thing i can get out of his exchange is that it's horrible to be black in america and it's unfair all the incredible advantages us white people have but let's uh let's see how long we can tolerate this for so mike i want to come to you on those on Jordan's point about how does he,
00:06:33.000 in a sense, get an equal voice in this debate back if it is implied that his participation brings with it this baggage of white privilege that doesn't allow him to see clearly the issues that are before us.
00:06:48.000 But that is to be complicit in the very problem itself, terminologically.
00:06:51.000 You're beginning at a point that's already productive and controversial.
00:06:55.000 Can you just pause it?
00:06:58.000 Has anyone ever used that word in normal parlance?
00:07:02.000 And by the way, Jordan Peterson's question is a trick question.
00:07:06.000 And he said, look, if I'm coming with all this white privilege, how do we have a normal debate?
00:07:10.000 It's not fair.
00:07:11.000 I'm already starting it as an advantage.
00:07:13.000 Michael Eric Dyson isn't sophisticated enough to understand that rhetorical question.
00:07:18.000 Jordan wasn't really expecting an answer.
00:07:20.000 It was a trap.
00:07:22.000 So Michael takes it as, oh, poor you.
00:07:24.000 Look, you're white, dude, and you're rich.
00:07:26.000 You're not allowed to say poor you.
00:07:27.000 You should try being black. 1.00
00:07:29.000 It always comes back to that.
00:07:33.000 If anything, Michael Eric Dyson is the one at a disadvantage because, I mean, at an unfair advantage, because he gets to pull the race card for every argument and go, yeah, but black. 0.62
00:07:43.000 Yeah, but slavery.
00:07:44.000 Yeah, but oppression.
00:07:45.000 Yeah, but civil rights. 0.99
00:07:46.000 Mike Brown, hands up, don't shoot.
00:07:49.000 I don't need to come up with points.
00:07:51.000 But check out this guy's verbal diarrhea.
00:07:55.000 How can he get his equality back?
00:07:58.000 Who are you talking about?
00:07:59.000 Jordan Peterson?
00:08:00.000 Trending number one on Twitter?
00:08:03.000 Jordan Peterson?
00:08:04.000 With an international international bestseller?
00:08:07.000 I want him to tweet something out about me in my book.
00:08:10.000 Jordan Peterson, right?
00:08:13.000 This is what I'm saying to you.
00:08:14.000 Why the rage, bruh?
00:08:17.000 You're doing well, but you're a mean, mad white man.
00:08:20.000 And you're going to get us right.
00:08:22.000 And I have never seen so much wine and snowflaking.
00:08:29.000 There's enough wine in here to start a vineyard.
00:08:31.000 Can you just pause it?
00:08:33.000 This is how this guy keeps his job, by the way.
00:08:35.000 The way you talk to young people is you have funny jokes in there, like there's enough wine for a vineyard.
00:08:41.000 And by the way, wine is a verb.
00:08:44.000 So you have to say whining, and then you snowflake is a noun, and you turn it into a verb with snowflaking.
00:08:50.000 You're not good at the English language, Mr. Equaminical. 1.00
00:08:54.000 You and your pokritudinous cohort there don't speak English. 1.00
00:09:00.000 You're full of 50-cent words, but you can't convey a message here.
00:09:05.000 And the message, I guess, is what he's saying is these people, these white people, have too much privilege.
00:09:12.000 They can't complain about anything.
00:09:14.000 Stop whining and let me abuse you. 1.00
00:09:17.000 If you stand up for yourself and defend yourself, you're whining.
00:09:20.000 And we see this all over the liberal hemisphere.
00:09:23.000 They say something terrible about patriarchy and Christmas and tradition, and you go, that's not true.
00:09:28.000 And they go, oh, poor baby, what are you crying now?
00:09:32.000 You go, no, I'm not crying.
00:09:33.000 I'm pointing out that you're being shallow and petty and wrong.
00:09:38.000 Go ahead.
00:09:39.000 And what I'm saying to you empirically and precisely, when you ask the question about white privilege, the fact that you ask it in the way you did, dismissive, pseudoscientific, non-empirical, and without justification, A, the truth is that white privilege doesn't act according to quantifiable segments.
00:09:58.000 It's about the degree to which we are willing as a society to grapple with the ideals of freedom, justice, and equality upon which it's based.
00:10:07.000 Number two, what's interesting to me, you're talking about not having a collective identity.
00:10:11.000 What do you call a nation?
00:10:12.000 Are you Canadian?
00:10:13.000 Are you Canadian by yourself?
00:10:15.000 Just positive.
00:10:15.000 Are you an individual?
00:10:19.000 What the hell are you talking about?
00:10:23.000 That run-on sentence that you did in A is one of the poorest examples of English grammar.
00:10:31.000 You're allowed to be fancy, but you have to be intelligible.
00:10:36.000 No one understands you.
00:10:38.000 Throw in a funny metaphor to make your students laugh because that works for you at school.
00:10:42.000 Students love it when you have cool metaphors and they go, ha ha ha ha, that guy's never getting fired.
00:10:46.000 That guy's getting tenure.
00:10:48.000 But here on earth, outside of your ivory tower, you have to say something we can understand.
00:10:54.000 And all I'm getting so far is that white people have too much privilege and it sucks to be black, which is dull in 2018.
00:11:03.000 Go ahead.
00:11:04.000 Bigible?
00:11:05.000 Or are you part of a group?
00:11:06.000 When America formed its union, it did so in opposition to another group.
00:11:14.000 So the reality is that those who are part of group identities and politics deny the legitimacy and validity of those groups and the fact that they have been created thusly and then have resentment against others.
00:11:27.000 All I'm asking for is the opportunity.
00:11:31.000 The quotation you talk about, the difference between he always does this too.
00:11:35.000 He'll be just about to make a point and then he'll go off at another thing and you're just about to get a salient argument and then he'll jump off and make another point.
00:11:45.000 And you go, oh, we were almost there.
00:11:48.000 Is he trying to say, I feel like I need a translator.
00:11:51.000 I need a babble fish in my ear.
00:11:52.000 Is he trying to say that Jordan Peterson is against identity politics, yet nationalists, the identity they're using is America?
00:12:01.000 That's identity politics.
00:12:03.000 That's an interesting point, by the way.
00:12:04.000 I actually never thought of that.
00:12:06.000 Is that what he's going for?
00:12:07.000 I have a rebuttal to that point.
00:12:08.000 The point is America is very big.
00:12:13.000 It's okay to have identity politics when it's a big, big, big place like that.
00:12:20.000 Because there's obviously room for a lot of nuance as long as we agree on things like the Constitution.
00:12:25.000 That's cool.
00:12:26.000 What Jordan Peterson is against is saying, I'm black, I'm different than you.
00:12:30.000 You're white. 0.95
00:12:31.000 I am a lesbian.
00:12:32.000 We have lesbian politics. 1.00
00:12:34.000 We have Hispanic politics.
00:12:36.000 That is divisive.
00:12:37.000 That's fracturing.
00:12:38.000 So it's not identity politics to be a nationalist.
00:12:41.000 It's identity politics to say, I am white and I'm different from everyone else. 0.54
00:12:46.000 We need white politics. 0.97
00:12:48.000 Don't take that out of context.
00:12:51.000 Quality of outcome and equality of opportunity, that's a stayed and retried argument, hackneyed phrase derived from the Halcyon days of the debate over affirmative action.
00:13:00.000 Are you looking for outcomes that can be determined in a way?
00:13:04.000 Are you looking for opportunity?
00:13:06.000 If you free a person after a whole long time of oppression and say now you are free to survive, if you have no skills, if you have no quantifiable means of existence, what you have done is liberated them into oppression.
00:13:19.000 All right, finally, we got sort of a point.
00:13:20.000 Did you catch that?
00:13:21.000 I'm not going to, you can look up Jordan Peterson.
00:13:23.000 I just want to look at Michael Eric Dyson for a second here.
00:13:25.000 You get the point now?
00:13:27.000 The reason blacks are worse off than whites is blacks had slavery, so they're starting at a disadvantage.
00:13:32.000 And he goes on, we're going to end it now, but he goes on to say that blacks, if there was a race, imagine a race going and the white guy starts at the beginning line, but the black starts 100 years behind.
00:13:45.000 The problem with that argument is you're choosing civilization.
00:13:49.000 You're choosing America like it reflects the span of man.
00:13:54.000 But if you want to talk about the gun going off, surely you have to start in Africa with the beginning of mankind. 0.84
00:14:01.000 And you have to take into account everything, not just the tiny 90 years that America had slavery, and it was British when it had the other slavery, so that doesn't count.
00:14:10.000 But not just this tiny blip of slavery.
00:14:13.000 You have to include the black plague.
00:14:15.000 You have to include the Ottoman Empire.
00:14:18.000 You have to include Hannibal and his elephants coming over.
00:14:22.000 You have to include the Moors coming over from Spain. 1.00
00:14:24.000 You have to take the crunchy with the smooth, I suppose, Michael.
00:14:29.000 And that means that using slavery as a justification for black suffering is retarded. 1.00
00:14:37.000 That doesn't make any sense.
00:14:38.000 It's like global warming when you look at the past 50 years and go, uh-oh, it's getting hot.
00:14:43.000 The Earth is 3.5 billion years old.
00:14:46.000 If you're going to look at climate change, you got to go way back.
00:14:48.000 And if you're going to look at human evolution, I'm sorry, but you can't keep rehashing slavery again and again and again.
00:14:56.000 You also have to explain, if it's all racism, why Indian Americans are the most successful ethnic group in the country.
00:15:04.000 Why white Americans are something like sixth or seventh on the list of successful ethnic groups in America. 0.54
00:15:12.000 Stop blaming everything on slavery.
00:15:16.000 It's a crutch.
00:15:18.000 And it might retain tenure.
00:15:20.000 It might stop you from getting fired.
00:15:22.000 But it's not telling people the truth.
00:15:24.000 Jordan Peterson is smarter than you.
00:15:27.000 You should just bask in his sunlight and not make everything about race.
00:15:33.000 That's in the past.
00:15:36.000 Here in Trump's America, we are rebooting the machine.
00:15:40.000 Everyone starts from scratch.
00:15:42.000 You don't get to use slavery.
00:15:43.000 You don't get to use anything as an excuse in 2018.
00:15:48.000 Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
00:15:51.000 And if you don't have boots, go get some.
00:15:56.000 Carol Markowitz, are you there?
00:15:58.000 Hi.
00:15:59.000 Now, I was just reading your article, Public Nuisance Polls, and you brought up an interesting angle that I had never thought of before, which is government officials can control free speech just by putting pressure on venues.
00:16:17.000 Absolutely.
00:16:18.000 I've owned a business in New York City, and I know that random city agencies can show up at any time and charge you $1,000 for blank.
00:16:27.000 And I imagine they can do that at the instruction of politicians pretty easily.
00:16:33.000 So it could be the health department, it could be a sanitation offense, it could be any number of public agencies that can mess with your business.
00:16:41.000 And I'm sure businesses believe that and are worried about it when they are pressured by politicians to cancel an event.
00:16:49.000 Yeah, well, I had a restaurant in the East Village, and if we had one too many dented cans or even if it wasn't our fault and someone went through our recycling and they left the cans everywhere, that could take us down from an A to a B and cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars.
00:17:05.000 Absolutely.
00:17:06.000 That happens all the time in various ways.
00:17:09.000 People go through the garbage constantly, and if they spill it all over your sidewalk, you're the one fined for it.
00:17:16.000 Now, the original subject used with this guy, Aaron Schlossberg, and it's pretty much agreed that he went on a horrible racist rant.
00:17:29.000 But the reaction has been too much.
00:17:32.000 They're ruining his life.
00:17:34.000 I have a kind of a controversial view on this whole thing.
00:17:38.000 I don't have a problem with his rant.
00:17:41.000 I thought it was just New Yorkers being jerks.
00:17:45.000 Right.
00:17:46.000 I could see that.
00:17:47.000 And the thing is, I would have a problem with it even if it didn't have a racist angle.
00:17:51.000 Even if it was just some dude walking into a midtown salad shop and bothering the minimum wage employees.
00:17:58.000 It's not necessarily the race part of it that I have such an issue with.
00:18:03.000 Yeah, it isn't a New Yorker just being a jerk.
00:18:05.000 And I don't think that's okay.
00:18:07.000 And if his community wants to punish him for it, if they want to try to ruin, not try to ruin his business, but wait outside of his building with the mariachi band, that's fine with me.
00:18:18.000 Well, that's funny.
00:18:19.000 That's the same thing, too.
00:18:20.000 That's more New York culture.
00:18:22.000 My fears were getting neutered here, is my general point.
00:18:25.000 Yeah, I agree.
00:18:26.000 I think there's definitely the mob mentality now that is ginned up at any moment, and it's gotten really old.
00:18:33.000 And it happens on both sides.
00:18:35.000 There was a case a number of months ago where a Brooklyn attorney was driven from her job for saying something awful about the Las Vegas shooting.
00:18:46.000 And I happened to know her, and she's a good person who said something casually on her friend's Facebook page in a moment of anger and sadness after the Vegas shooting that these people are Republicans and they kind of know what they're getting.
00:19:00.000 I remember that, yeah.
00:19:01.000 Right.
00:19:02.000 So while I find that obviously also repugnant, I think that we've gotten just way too far and this mob thing that we shame people out of their jobs, really, we should put an end to it.
00:19:17.000 Well, we're actually talking about two things here.
00:19:19.000 And the one thing makes for great reading, but it doesn't make for great TV.
00:19:23.000 And the one thing is a fascinating expose you did talking about politicians, city councilmen pressuring, Say, for example, there was going to be an NRA fundraiser, and they shut down three different venues.
00:19:36.000 And I don't blame these venues, by the way.
00:19:37.000 It's bankruptcy or you acquiesce.
00:19:40.000 Fine, acquiesce, whatever keeps you afloat.
00:19:43.000 But that's not sexy TV.
00:19:45.000 The second part is sexy TV.
00:19:47.000 And that is, I don't like any of this neutering.
00:19:51.000 I met a guy, Joe, what's his name?
00:19:54.000 Joe DeMateo?
00:19:56.000 Joe Mataris.
00:19:57.000 He's a comedian, and he was telling me that he had a terrible temper for a while, and then he started taking medication, and now he doesn't lose his temper anymore.
00:20:04.000 And I go, that's terrible.
00:20:07.000 It's great.
00:20:08.000 Like, he goes, I was punching holes in walls.
00:20:10.000 Yeah, that's part of life.
00:20:11.000 Once a month, you get a contractor to come in and seal up the holes in your house.
00:20:15.000 Punch your own wall all you want, right?
00:20:17.000 Yeah, it's and it's uniquely a New York thing.
00:20:21.000 Hey, forget about it.
00:20:22.000 What are you doing?
00:20:23.000 Yelling out the window and stuff.
00:20:25.000 I don't want to take that away from us.
00:20:27.000 I like Aaron Schlossberg.
00:20:30.000 Again, I don't know that I go towards liking him.
00:20:33.000 I think that any guy that walks into a place like that and harasses the employees, you know, kind of deserves what he gets to some extent.
00:20:41.000 But as soon as politicians get involved, it's really stepping over the line and trying to get rid of his law license is just a step too far.
00:20:47.000 And you're right.
00:20:48.000 It's not sexy to be like, why are they, you know, it's a First Amendment violation when politicians do it.
00:20:54.000 And it gets into like the semantics of what the First Amendment is.
00:20:58.000 It's not just, you know, being controversial in your community and having the community backlash against you.
00:21:05.000 It's something totally different.
00:21:07.000 So yeah, it's hard to get people to care.
00:21:09.000 Right.
00:21:10.000 Well, we'll trick them because the important story here is that the First Amendment is being trampled by bureaucrats. 0.98
00:21:18.000 But we're going to trick them into caring about that by talking more generally about this concept of neutering.
00:21:24.000 Like I've been talking to cops recently, and I don't have the data on this.
00:21:28.000 I think it's a new phenomenon.
00:21:29.000 But HR is getting stricter with the MIPD, and you can joke around less.
00:21:35.000 Now, that doesn't sound like a big deal, but as George Orbo said, Within Every Joke is a Tiny Revolution.
00:21:39.000 And I have noticed, anecdotally, cop suicides going up recently.
00:21:45.000 And I think it's because they're being censored and it's like a pressure cooker.
00:21:49.000 You know, New York City is a madhouse.
00:21:52.000 If you can't be rude and yell at people, you go crazy.
00:21:56.000 Yeah.
00:21:57.000 I mean, we have our own little fight club, you know.
00:22:00.000 Yes.
00:22:01.000 And by the way, there is a racial double standard.
00:22:03.000 Like I know the Las Vegas woman got fried, but I don't know how many times I get screamed at by black people on the train like crazy people, going crack of this, crack of that. 0.99
00:22:13.000 And it's totally ignored.
00:22:15.000 It's not a big deal.
00:22:16.000 But anytime a white guy who looks rich says something that seems like it could be racist, he's persona non grata.
00:22:25.000 His career is basically over.
00:22:27.000 But I mean, obviously, if it was a white crazy guy on the train screaming, I think he'd also be ignored.
00:22:27.000 Right.
00:22:31.000 It was the fact that he was in a suit.
00:22:33.000 He looked good.
00:22:34.000 He was like a normal looking guy who lost his, you know, ish at a sandwich shop.
00:22:41.000 It's like.
00:22:42.000 But what about a black guy in a suit who looked exactly like him and was saying the exact same thing?
00:22:47.000 The same result would have occurred.
00:22:48.000 If it was somebody normal looking with like a normal, you know, just job and you don't think they would have gone after that?
00:22:56.000 I'm going to pay a handsome black actor to wear a suit and go. 1.00
00:23:01.000 Do it.
00:23:02.000 I bet you get the same result.
00:23:04.000 I think it's the fact that he was such an easy target.
00:23:07.000 And the same thing again for the CBS lawyer.
00:23:10.000 It's like when you have a job that people can target.
00:23:12.000 If you are, again, a minimum wage employee somewhere, like nobody's going to care if you're crazy on the train.
00:23:18.000 If you are a lawyer, if they can go after you in some way.
00:23:23.000 You're right.
00:23:24.000 I shouldn't have used the crazy train person as an analogy because it's distracting.
00:23:27.000 But look at that.
00:23:28.000 There was that white supremacist who came down and he stabbed a homeless man and that was a huge story all over the post.
00:23:36.000 But then the exact same thing happened with a black guy who tackled some old white dude saying, I hate white people and beat him to death.
00:23:42.000 And that got very little coverage.
00:23:45.000 Yeah, I don't know.
00:23:46.000 I actually am not sure what story that is.
00:23:48.000 Isn't that proof?
00:23:50.000 I guess.
00:23:52.000 I didn't want to make this a racial discussion.
00:23:54.000 Right, because I honestly don't think it's a racial thing necessarily.
00:23:58.000 I think that, again, the left obviously will jump on it because of the racial angle.
00:24:03.000 But for normal society, I think it has nothing to do with race.
00:24:07.000 It's about a jerk and the punishment he deserves.
00:24:11.000 And does he deserve to be stripped of his law license for being a jerk?
00:24:14.000 And I think no.
00:24:15.000 No.
00:24:16.000 I think if you're a jerk and you yell someone rude, yell something rude at someone, then someone should yell something rude at you back.
00:24:24.000 Absolutely.
00:24:24.000 That's New York City.
00:24:26.000 That's right.
00:24:27.000 And if the NRA is trying to have a fundraiser and the community wants to protest outside, that's also fine with me.
00:24:32.000 As long as they understand that in Alabama, it'll be Planned Parenthood trying to have a fundraiser and the community protesting outside.
00:24:40.000 And as long as you get that it's going to happen there as well, you know, that's just the society we're forging here.
00:24:48.000 And Planned Parenthood has killed a lot more people than the NRA.
00:24:54.000 Carol, thank you for coming on the show.
00:24:56.000 Thank you so much for having me.
00:24:57.000 Thank you.
00:25:01.000 Travis, are you there, sir?
00:25:03.000 I'm with you.
00:25:05.000 First question is a question a lot of my friends ask every time we see Kimberly Guilfoyle, and that is, how the hell do you lose that piece of tail?
00:25:15.000 You know, everybody's wondering the question.
00:25:18.000 And I mean, seriously, if you think about what Gavin did, and it wasn't just, you know, that it was Kimberly Guilfoyle.
00:25:24.000 It was that it was his best friend's wife that he was messing around on Kimberly Guilfoyle with.
00:25:30.000 Oh, I didn't know those two were the same transgression.
00:25:33.000 I've always just known him as the guy that lost Kimberly Guilfoil, but it was the affair with the friend.
00:25:38.000 Yeah, and it gets worse.
00:25:40.000 It was his best friend's wife, and she actually worked for Gavin at the time, so she was a subordinate as well.
00:25:47.000 Oh, God.
00:25:47.000 Yeah.
00:25:48.000 Ruby Rippy Gibney.
00:25:50.000 Yes, yes, yes.
00:25:52.000 And I mean, so I mean, any way you look at it, it's just bad.
00:25:55.000 Best friend's wife, subordinate, messed around with Kimberly Guilfoyle. 1.00
00:25:59.000 It shows a three-time loser, right?
00:26:02.000 There's some serious lack of judgment there.
00:26:04.000 But seriously, I've never had a friend's wife hit on me, obviously.
00:26:08.000 It's actually a joke in the movie Step Brothers, where his brother's wife is obsessed with him and he keeps telling her to calm down.
00:26:15.000 But if that ever happened to you, and there was any kind of romantic possibility with your best friend's wife, you'd go, Oh my God, my friend's married to a lunatic.
00:26:23.000 My friend's married to someone who's amoral.
00:26:27.000 You'd run to him crying, going, I have the worst news ever, dude.
00:26:31.000 Exactly.
00:26:32.000 Exactly.
00:26:33.000 Apparently, that's not exactly what happened, though, unfortunately.
00:26:37.000 Well, the press is so gentle with him that the angle on the media is that he's learned from it.
00:26:43.000 He's learned from his mistakes.
00:26:45.000 You know, the arrogance of this guy, Gavin Newsom, is incredible.
00:26:48.000 Even when it happened, you know, he did this press conference where he said, I'm sorry, and then I'm still going to be your mayor, and I'm still going to walk on as if nothing changed.
00:26:56.000 And I mean, it was kid gloves then.
00:26:58.000 It's kid gloves now.
00:26:59.000 You can barely even find mention of it.
00:27:00.000 So that's why we were in the debate.
00:27:02.000 I felt that the people of California should know that this is the guy that the Democrats want to put up to be the next governor of the state of California.
00:27:09.000 I mean, very simply, if you can't trust him with your best friend's wife, if you can't even trust him to keep a person like Kimberly Guilfoyle, how could you trust with California?
00:27:20.000 And she's like an honest, let's be honest here.
00:27:23.000 It feels rude to call her an eight.
00:27:26.000 She's 8.99, 9.1. 0.99
00:27:30.000 Anything below 9 feels insulting.
00:27:33.000 You know, look, she's absolutely up there.
00:27:36.000 I'm going to leave that right there because I have a beautiful wife myself, and I'm very much happily married.
00:27:42.000 Me too.
00:27:43.000 We're just throwing it out in a clearly objective way.
00:27:46.000 There's no interest there whatsoever.
00:27:48.000 Analytical, like scientists.
00:27:50.000 Analytically, objectively speaking, I don't think there's one California that could agree with Gavin Newsom on that, as well as many other things that Gavin Newsome has done.
00:27:58.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:27:59.000 Well, I got to say, as an East Coaster, we look down at California.
00:28:03.000 I don't mean look down at them like they're inferior, but we look at California as a lost cause in many ways.
00:28:11.000 When they threaten CalExit, we think, yeah, you might as well go.
00:28:14.000 You're irreparable.
00:28:15.000 You know, look, they call it the land of fruits and nuts for a very good reason.
00:28:20.000 And it's not just because we have the best agriculture in the nation right here in California, although we do.
00:28:25.000 It's that California has been run by the wrong political party for a very long time.
00:28:30.000 And let me explain what I'm talking about.
00:28:32.000 39 of the last 40 years in this building right behind me, the California state legislature, has been run by the Democrats, both houses, the Assembly and the Senate, totally controlled by Democrats every single year except for one in the last 40 years.
00:28:45.000 24 of the last 50 years have been under Jerry Brown and the Jerry Brown family.
00:28:50.000 So there is a reason for all this lunacy in California.
00:28:54.000 It's not because there's not a lot of great Californians.
00:28:56.000 There are.
00:28:57.000 We actually have more Republicans in California than any other state.
00:29:00.000 Donald Trump just got 4.4 million votes here in California in 2016.
00:29:05.000 There's a lot of great people.
00:29:06.000 The problem is the Democrats figured out how to cook elections and how to rig elections.
00:29:11.000 That's what they've been doing for decades in California.
00:29:14.000 We have had Republican governors.
00:29:15.000 The most recent one you might remember was Arnold Schwarzenegger.
00:29:18.000 He was Republican for all of about a year.
00:29:21.000 Once he got beat in the ballot box, that was the last wave we saw him, and he became a Democrat.
00:29:25.000 So, I mean, we have not even seen a real Republican leader in probably two decades or more in California since Pete Wilson and Ronald Reagan.
00:29:33.000 You know, it's been amazing watching the decline over there.
00:29:36.000 I was stunned to realize that George W. Bush lived in Compton as a young kid.
00:29:42.000 And you look at Compton now.
00:29:43.000 Actually, Compton's changed.
00:29:44.000 Compton was George W. Bush, nice, wholesome Americana.
00:29:47.000 Then it was NWA, Bloods and Crips.
00:29:50.000 But there's since been a race war with Mexican gangs murdering black people.
00:29:56.000 And, you know, I look at black America from coast to coast and I say, hey, guys, it couldn't possibly get worse than what the Dems are doing to you with two murders a day in the south side of Chicago, race wars in south central L.A. Give Republicans a try.
00:30:11.000 The Democrats are literally murdering you.
00:30:14.000 You know, without a doubt.
00:30:15.000 And it couldn't get any worse.
00:30:17.000 I mean, you look at how bad it is today.
00:30:19.000 That's why, you know, when we take a look at guys like Larry Elder on the radio, you know, we got lots of great guys online.
00:30:26.000 Will Johnson is one of my personal favorites, good personal buddy of mine.
00:30:29.000 And, you know, a lot of people are waking up and they're saying, wait a second.
00:30:32.000 I mean, first of all, let's be clear.
00:30:34.000 This has nothing to do with the color of anybody's skin.
00:30:36.000 We passed that a long time ago.
00:30:38.000 Martin Luther King gave the best speech of the last 50 years, and every single American took that to heart.
00:30:44.000 But you take a look at, you know, certain communities and you can say, wait a second, a lot of these policies that are put in place by the Democrats are disproportionately hurting certain communities.
00:30:54.000 So when you take a look at the African-American community in California, what is it?
00:30:58.000 Something like 70% of the homes are single-parent homes.
00:31:02.000 You take a look at the crime statistics.
00:31:03.000 You take a look at the educational gap.
00:31:05.000 You take a look at the income gap.
00:31:07.000 And clearly, this concept that the Democrats have of identity politics and separating people out based on what they look like is an abject failure.
00:31:17.000 Just two years ago, in this building right here, they tried to pass a bill called SCA 5.
00:31:22.000 And it would have brought back affirmative action in California. 0.80
00:31:26.000 And specifically, they wanted to discriminate against Asian American kids in favor of Latino kids and African Americans.
00:31:31.000 But here's the problem.
00:31:34.000 As we know, when anytime you look at affirmative action, it's very simple.
00:31:37.000 It takes the bar that should be right there for everybody, and it lowers it for a certain group of people and says, you know what, we're going to give you a break.
00:31:44.000 We're going to give you the chance to perform less and still get the same benefits.
00:31:48.000 This is how you screw somebody.
00:31:50.000 I mean, this is the worst thing you could possibly do somebody.
00:31:54.000 Everybody's got the same opportunity.
00:31:56.000 Go and take it regardless of what you look like.
00:31:59.000 That's how everybody's better.
00:32:00.000 Yes.
00:32:01.000 And it's bad for blacks, too, who show up somewhere and people go, oh, you were part of the affirmative action thing.
00:32:05.000 You clearly don't belong here.
00:32:07.000 You didn't earn it.
00:32:08.000 It takes away black people who pull themselves up by their bootstraps and actually accomplish something. 1.00
00:32:13.000 So you're here to tell me that California is salvageable.
00:32:18.000 Oh, without a doubt.
00:32:20.000 First, let me go on that bootstraps comment, though, because this is important.
00:32:23.000 There is a mayor of one of our cities, and it's Stockton.
00:32:26.000 Stockton.
00:32:27.000 His name is Tubbs.
00:32:28.000 He's a young African-American Democrat.
00:32:31.000 This guy is actually in favor of that universal income concept where you pay people to sit on their couch, right?
00:32:36.000 It takes it one step past welfare.
00:32:38.000 He wants to give away your money to people that aren't even working at all.
00:32:41.000 I gave a speech to the NAACP a couple of years ago.
00:32:44.000 It was a great speech talking about opportunity and how we believe in a country where it's equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome, right?
00:32:51.000 You get to determine your own personal outcome.
00:32:54.000 And I talked about people pulling them up by the bootstraps.
00:32:57.000 This guy, Tubbs, I didn't even know the guy back then.
00:32:59.000 He was a young city council member.
00:33:01.000 This was before he turned into mayor.
00:33:02.000 He was the very next speaker.
00:33:04.000 He came on after me and he said, you know, how can you pull yourself up by your bootstraps if you don't even have boots?
00:33:10.000 And then he proceeded to talk about how great the welfare state was and how we needed a state to take care of everything.
00:33:16.000 And if only there was more welfare and more special dispensation based on what you look like, everything would be better off.
00:33:23.000 And I sat there listening to this kid and I thought, not only have you drank the Kool-Aid, but you are selling your own people short.
00:33:29.000 I mean, nobody needs a hand.
00:33:32.000 What we all need is the same level playing field so we can all go compete and win.
00:33:37.000 It's as simple as that.
00:33:38.000 So you asked about, you know, the United States and California specifically, and how do we take back the state?
00:33:44.000 And I'll tell you, it's the same as what we just did in the nation.
00:33:46.000 In 2016, I'm guessing everybody that's listening to us knows a Democrat or two.
00:33:50.000 If you were like me, you had a conversation where you said, look, I think Donald Trump's got a shot to win.
00:33:55.000 And every Democrat said, no way, no how.
00:33:57.000 Hillary's got all the money. 1.00
00:33:59.000 You know, she's got the backing of Obama. 0.74
00:34:01.000 She's got the polls.
00:34:02.000 Everything's on her side.
00:34:02.000 She's got the media.
00:34:04.000 You might as well give it up before you try.
00:34:06.000 In California, they say the same thing.
00:34:08.000 25% Republicans, 44% Democrats.
00:34:11.000 But listen, here's the real story.
00:34:13.000 In 2014, Jerry Brown got elected with 4.3 million votes in California to be governor.
00:34:18.000 In 2016, Donald J. Trump just got 4.4 million votes in California.
00:34:25.000 Literally, all we got to do is turn out the Trump voters and the disaffected Democrats.
00:34:30.000 Travis Allen, your next governor, state of California.
00:34:33.000 I'm sold.
00:34:34.000 You know, they say that Trump has changed America.
00:34:36.000 And I think what he did is he showed a lot of us that we can beat the odds.
00:34:40.000 And I get this from college Republicans, all kinds of young people who are finally coming out of the closet as conservative.
00:34:47.000 He told us that we can win.
00:34:49.000 And, you know, if it was pre-Trump, I would be rolling my eyes at your campaign, to be totally honest.
00:34:54.000 But in a post-Trump America, I'm feeling optimistic.
00:34:58.000 Amen to that.
00:34:59.000 So listen, in this race for governor, I am the only candidate that voted for and supported, even wrote op-eds in favor of the Republican nominee for president.
00:35:08.000 I'm actually running against a guy who's from Chicago.
00:35:11.000 He's never won a race in his life.
00:35:12.000 He's already run for president, U.S. Senate, U.S. Congress, even county clerk recorder in Illinois, lost every single time.
00:35:19.000 Now he's coming to California.
00:35:20.000 He's a never Trumper.
00:35:22.000 And so he's trying to run as a Republican.
00:35:24.000 So I'm the only guy in support of the president of the United States here in California running.
00:35:29.000 But I'll tell you what this actually brings and what this actually means.
00:35:31.000 The building behind me is the California state legislature.
00:35:34.000 I am known as the most conservative guy in the whole building with a vote record that you can check.
00:35:38.000 The answer is this.
00:35:39.000 What Trump did in the United States is he completely blew up the concept of politically correct speech.
00:35:45.000 This was the thought control of the left.
00:35:47.000 Somehow, if you don't say things right, that you won't be accepted or you won't be cool or you might even be racist or whatever else they're going to accuse you of being.
00:35:54.000 It's all nonsense.
00:35:56.000 Trump reaffirmed the First Amendment.
00:35:58.000 You say what you feel and you're completely free to say it.
00:36:01.000 And this was the most liberating thing because all of a sudden, people say, wait a second, I can go tell the truth.
00:36:06.000 I can tell it directly.
00:36:07.000 And I got to tell you, after six years of fighting in this building, fighting all these crazy Democrats with all the crazy laws of California, I mean, laws like little boys and little girls using the same restroom, laws like the illegal sanctuary state, even laws like taking the knowing transmission of AIDS to another person from a felony to basically a traffic citation.
00:36:25.000 It's a misdemeanor.
00:36:26.000 Which, by the way, has caused a massive spike in STDs.
00:36:30.000 We're seeing that already.
00:36:31.000 We're seeing the ramifications of that crazy plan.
00:36:34.000 Which is exactly right.
00:36:35.000 So listen, I have fought these guys for six years, and I can tell you right now, the only way to meet them is tell a direct truth to the California people.
00:36:43.000 Our state has the highest in the nation poverty.
00:36:46.000 We have the highest in the nation homelessness.
00:36:47.000 We have rising violent crime, open borders, illegal sanctuary state.
00:36:51.000 We got this new gas tax that we never even voted for.
00:36:54.000 And as you know, we got that bullet train to nowhere, right?
00:36:57.000 But the real answer is this.
00:36:59.000 The real answer is it's going to come down to it after June 5th.
00:37:02.000 It's going to be Travis Allen versus Gavin Newsom.
00:37:04.000 And it's going to be black versus white.
00:37:06.000 It's going to be, you know, night versus day.
00:37:07.000 Very, very simple.
00:37:08.000 It's going to be a stark contrast.
00:37:10.000 And the question that you have to ask the California voters is one question and one question only.
00:37:14.000 Do you want your state to look like the streets of San Francisco?
00:37:19.000 Gavin is former mayor of San Francisco.
00:37:21.000 22,000 intervened drug users, maps of human waste.
00:37:24.000 So, you know, which streets to walk on and which streets you should avoid because of all the human waste.
00:37:29.000 Hypodermic needles where kids got to go to school on sidewalks.
00:37:33.000 And get this, not one, but two legalized heroin injection centers opening up in July in their city.
00:37:40.000 Californians don't want their state looking like San Francisco.
00:37:43.000 They don't want it looking like LA.
00:37:45.000 They want to take their state back, and that's what this is all about.
00:37:48.000 I mean, Northern California is nice.
00:37:50.000 Let's just take that niceness and duplicate it across everything south of the North.
00:37:55.000 Amen to that.
00:37:56.000 Amen to that.
00:37:56.000 I mean, by the way, you bring up the North.
00:37:59.000 Everybody forgets it's a big state.
00:38:00.000 It's not just San Francisco or Southern California.
00:38:03.000 You know, we have all these regions.
00:38:04.000 And here's the thing.
00:38:05.000 Most of California is actually conservative.
00:38:08.000 We have more Republicans elected to public office in California than Democrats.
00:38:12.000 LA Times did a story on that about two years ago.
00:38:14.000 The answer is this, though.
00:38:16.000 The California Democrats in this building right here, using the extreme environmentalists as their tool, have bankrupted whole regions of the state.
00:38:23.000 So in the north, we got these great forests and timber industry.
00:38:26.000 You can't do timber up there anymore.
00:38:28.000 In gold country, you got all these minerals.
00:38:30.000 We're the gold rush state, after all.
00:38:31.000 You can't do that anymore.
00:38:33.000 You can't go for oil in Bakersfield or offshore because they won't let you touch it.
00:38:37.000 And we got more oil and gas in Saudi Arabia, according to some reports.
00:38:41.000 And in that central valley, the fruits and nuts we were talking about a moment ago, they won't even give them the water they need to plant their crops.
00:38:48.000 So basically, when it rains, our dams burst and it washes out into the ocean.
00:38:51.000 They have bankrupted our state, but there's whole regions of the state that understand that.
00:38:56.000 And they know that the only way to take this back is with a Republican governor like a Ronald Reagan, somebody that's willing to fight them, not one round like Schwarzenegger, but over and over and over again until we win.
00:39:06.000 And I got to tell you, Gavin, I got 40,000 volunteers around the state, almost half a million followers, something like 475,000 followers on Facebook at jointravisallen.com.
00:39:15.000 There is a movement across the state.
00:39:17.000 It's against this illegal sanctuary state.
00:39:20.000 It's to repeal the gas tax.
00:39:21.000 It's to make sure that our state doesn't look like San Francisco and LA.
00:39:25.000 And I'm telling you, this whole state is on fire.
00:39:27.000 It's right below the surface, but this will be the hottest race in the nation. 1.00
00:39:32.000 Well, you got my vote.
00:39:34.000 I'm all for Travis Allen.
00:39:35.000 Let's get the sexual reprobates, the degenerates out of office and save that state. 1.00
00:39:40.000 Amen to that, brother.
00:39:42.000 Amen to that.
00:39:42.000 Thanks so much.
00:39:43.000 And remember, you know, I was in Texas like three or four days ago, and I was raising money out there, and the Texans were saying, you know, Travis, we'd love it if you'd make California look a little bit more like Texas so all the Californians would move back home.
00:39:55.000 This is what it's all about, right?
00:39:59.000 I'd love to have you back again soon.
00:39:59.000 Right on, man.
00:40:01.000 Let's follow this race closely.
00:40:03.000 You bet.
00:40:03.000 You bet.
00:40:04.000 Follow me online.
00:40:04.000 Join Travis Allen.
00:40:05.000 Make sure you get out there and vote.
00:40:06.000 Let's go take our state back, brother.
00:40:08.000 Right on, man.
00:40:09.000 Cheers.
00:40:10.000 Thanks so much.
00:40:16.000 This is my friend Jay Green.
00:40:18.000 I actually haven't spoken to him in a while.
00:40:20.000 I'm wondering if I'm persona non-grata because of Trump, but I used to go on his radio show, Cheap Thrills.
00:40:25.000 I think my label put out his band.
00:40:27.000 They were called Violent Bull.
00:40:30.000 He DJs now, and he's with, what are they called, LCD?
00:40:30.000 He sang for them.
00:40:37.000 LCD sound system.
00:40:38.000 God, my brain sucks today.
00:40:41.000 But fascinating, funny guy.
00:40:44.000 And I told you I hate comedians, but sometimes you see funny people who don't devote any time to comedy, but just do it as a lurk.
00:40:51.000 And he does these Snapchats that I think are the funniest things in the known world today.
00:40:58.000 And they don't go anywhere.
00:40:59.000 They're just on his Instagram.
00:41:00.000 This is not his career.
00:41:01.000 But he does these amazing characters using Snapchat apps.
00:41:07.000 And this one is your typical kind of a middle-aged semi-blue collar YouTuber.
00:41:14.000 And by the way, I think this is a great example how they say social media gives everyone a voice.
00:41:19.000 Not everyone deserves a voice.
00:41:21.000 A lot of people who get this voice are boring.
00:41:25.000 And I think he's doing a good imitation of showing you what those people are like.
00:41:31.000 Hey there, gang.
00:41:33.000 It's me, Wolf Safety Cone Head.
00:41:37.000 Obviously, if you're watching this, you're a fan of my YouTube channel.
00:41:42.000 I want to say thanks for the support.
00:41:44.000 And this video, in particular, is for all the haters out there.
00:41:48.000 And I gotta say, I ain't got time for you haters.
00:41:51.000 And that I'm gonna put on my hater blockers, which are just gonna be a pair of sunglasses if I can find them.
00:41:57.000 And then I'm gonna block you out as if you were the sun.
00:42:04.000 Yeah, but he's right.
