00:01:13.000But of course, that guy has to get a lawyer to defend himself from these allegations because the left are acting like total lunatics about this, which is what the meme was designed for.
00:01:24.000It was designed to showcase how cuckoo the left has become when their racists are in my sandwich obsession.
00:01:31.000And the left is going, there's racists in my sandwich.
00:01:34.000And I'm just sitting here going, yeah, that's the gag.
00:03:19.000I want the West to be isolated from the rest of the world, and I want those individual countries to isolate themselves from each other to a certain extent.
00:03:28.000But yeah, I'm not for an open society.
00:03:30.000But the project on government oversight sure is, and that's the lawyer involved in this case.
00:03:38.000Now, how do you refute, by the way, when someone says, you had a weird boner and you sort of jumped on me 36 years ago, how do you refute that?
00:03:48.000Here I have my boner dialectics, all the analytics on my erections over my entire high school life.
00:03:54.000And as you can see here, I never had a boner for you.
00:13:18.000And I can see why millennials would see it as a train wreck because their late night is let's talk about how much Trump sucks and let's have everything polished and all the jokes pre-written.
00:13:30.000And it becomes almost like a Broadway show.
00:14:43.000And I saw that was the Daily Beast had an article by this guy.
00:14:50.000I'm obsessed with looking at the authors of things because you'll read something in the media like a dictum and it'll sound smart and you'll go, oh, the authorities have spoken.
00:15:01.000Always look up the author and you will find often a child, often a gay infant who has no authority to be talking about this whatsoever and has nothing going on in his life.
00:15:13.000So this is Kevin Fallon telling us, Norm McDonald has a terrible show.
00:18:51.000There's not going to be a president Donald Trump.
00:18:54.000Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for president as a Republican, which is surprising since I just assumed he was running as a joke.
00:22:07.000The neighbors will never look at us the same way again.
00:22:11.000If you have an overground pool, you are a shame to the neighborhood.
00:22:17.000Eight-month-old son to bed, and I was holding him.
00:22:19.000I said to him, When you wake up tomorrow morning, we might have our first female president.
00:22:24.000And then when we came home around midnight, I went into his room, shook his crib until he woke up, and screamed, We have to get out of here.
00:23:27.000This is fingers crossed, and it says, please be a fart.
00:23:30.000You know, when you have a fart that could be a shard, and you go, here we go, and you're kind of nervous, and then it comes out and it's just air and you go, oh, thanks, it paid off.
00:23:39.0004-Chan chose this joke because they had a very good point.
00:26:03.000Everyone is going to use this because you act like such a lunatic.
00:26:09.000So in this article, this guy has a back-and-forth email with Roger Stone.
00:26:14.000He says, The gesture is used often by President Trump and is used to connote support for the president in photos of the proud boys nationwide.
00:27:03.000Considering that there are serious questions about Trump's views on racial matters, attempting to trigger liberals into believing you hold white supremacist views is not an innocent, perkish, sorry, puckish accent.
00:28:29.000There are just a few problems, though.
00:28:31.000The idea that this is a hate symbol actually originates with a 2017 4chan trolling effort.
00:28:37.000It's really just a zombie meme that these normies refuse to let die.
00:28:41.000Even the ADL says die is just a white deal.
00:28:45.000If the same ADL that says Pepe is a hate symbol says you've gone too far with your hysteria, you've definitely gone too far with your hysteria.
00:28:53.000And the other problem, more overtly, is Xena Bash is half Mexican, half Chinese.
00:28:57.000Oh, yeah, he's talking about the colours.
00:31:32.000Like, say someone said, you know, we live in a world where mustaches, people with mustaches can't succeed.
00:31:37.000So the fact that you're making money now is incredible.
00:31:39.000I'm going to be tempted to go, yeah, it was pretty hard, actually.
00:31:43.000You know, it's kind of ironic because we are being persecuted as right-wingers, white males, pro-Westerners, pro-Trump guys, MAGA guys, that whole patriarchal group are seen as evil and disgusting and have to apologize all through college for our existence.
00:31:58.000So we did kind of survive despite adversity.
00:32:03.000We got all the claims Tariq says he has.
00:32:07.000Anyway, so this hand gesture, that's a good picture you got there.
00:32:15.000These cops are in trouble for making the sign.
00:32:18.000And it looks to me like they are playing the lookie game, which is if I trick you into looking down and looking at my hand like this, I get to punch you.
00:33:17.000So you add like the potential for a W and a P, and they love reading in it.
00:33:21.000They're exactly like the soccer moms, just like that dude said.
00:33:24.000You know, I've seen this video where this woman talks about the monster energy drink and how the claw represents 666 and Satan is in the monster energy drink and they're evil and they're trying to kill Christians and all this crap.
00:34:16.000The gesture she had was on her hand, but they've somehow stuck it in there on that one.
00:34:21.000And then the last one, of course, is Roger Stone and the Proud Boys.
00:34:26.000There's so much going on here that I find it a very fascinating microcosm of a much bigger macro problem, which is the obsession with everything being racist and America sucks and Nazi, Nazi, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:34:38.000But the Coast Guard one was particularly egregious because he wasn't even knowingly doing the mocking.
00:34:44.000He was doing what those cops were doing, which was, hey, I want you to look here so I get to punch you.
00:34:50.000And I know a Coast Guard who's spoken to this guy's superiors.
00:35:46.000You don't have to put your finger in anything.
00:35:48.000Just if they see it or a drawing of it or a picture or they do it on the internet all the time.
00:35:52.000There'll be a movie of like some girl taking off her blouse and just before she reveals her breast, the guy goes and then you get to pound him.
00:36:22.000So it's a tradition, not just with the Coast Guards, but in the military to do the looky game where, again, folks at home, if you're a woman or a nerd and you don't know this, if we can trick you into looking at our hand, we get to punch you.
00:36:33.000They play that in the military all the time.
00:36:35.000This guy was doing it in a very creative way.
00:36:38.000He shouldn't have been playing that silly game.
00:36:53.000However, immediately going to the intent that it was a white power symbol is ridiculous, especially if you know the background of that symbol and the wide different uses of it.
00:37:04.000And the Coast Guard really, I feel, failed this member because they need your reaction.
00:37:10.000You know, part of what they did was right.
00:37:12.000They pulled him off duty, you know, which I think is to appease the masses.
00:37:17.000You know, hey, we're going to investigate.
00:37:18.000Kind of like with a copper and you do something wrong, you get put on administrative leave.
00:38:40.000And I hope, you know, I don't know who from the Coast Guard is going to listen to this, but I hope when the spotlight's off, you know, they do the right thing by this member and they really do look into the intent of the symbol and they give this kid a fair shake because, you know, young in your career like that, that's a shame.
00:41:40.000I'm kind of obsessed with the recent controversy with Zena Bash and the Coast Guard and on these cops all losing their jobs for going like this.
00:41:48.000And the reason it drives me nuts is the point of this prank was to show how hysterical the left can be about something totally innocuous.
00:41:58.000And they are being hysterical about something totally innocuous.
00:42:04.000Well, but it's very important, you see, because it's a device that is designed to smear us, to misrepresent our political views.
00:44:08.000Plus, the acts of violence against outspoken conservatives or people who've been awakened and have walked away is far more egregious than attacks on the streets of liberals by conservatives.
00:44:21.000The intolerance seems to be all on their side.
00:44:25.000Steve Khaleese was a conservative Republican shot by a madman of the left.
00:44:34.000It's funny how everything that they accuse us of is much more prevalent on their side.
00:44:40.000The hatred, the violence, the even their embracing of radical Islam seems to check all the boxes of homophobia, sexism, and even racism.
00:44:49.000You see, I, on a personal level, I find the charge that I would do this as a white supremacist symbol disproved by the record.
00:45:02.000I supported the president who desegregated the public schools.
00:45:06.000I worked for the president who gave us affirmative action as a policy, an action that is pro, so pro-civil rights that some conservatives think it crossed a line.
00:45:19.000The man who gave us the Office of Minority Business Enterprise, this is someone without whom the 1958 Civil Rights Act would not have passed, but for Vice President Richard Nixon rounding up enough Republicans to get it over the top.
00:45:35.000So it is absurd to say that we believe in white supremacism.
00:46:03.000As I have moved around, Gavin, the threats of violence and the actual acts of violence against me in the streets, in restaurants, in airports, in public spaces, in private spaces has been extraordinary.
00:46:17.000In many occasions, the Proud Boys have showed up to just be a presence.
00:46:22.000We don't provoke violence, but we will defend ourselves.
00:46:25.000And it has provided me with a great sense of security.
00:46:28.000So a shout out to the Proud Boys across the country who have helped me in my travels, to speak the truth, in Arizona, in Washington, D.C., in California, so many other places.
00:46:40.000Well, I've talked to some of the guys that have looked after you, and they say they thoroughly enjoy it.
00:46:45.000And they've even said it takes them a couple days to recover because it's so fun.
00:46:50.000It's not only frenetic, but we spend enormous amounts on alcohol.
00:47:19.000Those who say, well, it's just Alex Jones miss the whole point.
00:47:22.000You don't have to agree with Alex Jones on everything.
00:47:24.000In fact, you don't have to agree with him on anything to recognize that he has a right to speak and he has a very compelling way of doing so.
00:47:31.000And he should have full access to the American public through social media and every other medium because it's constitutionally protected speech.
00:48:03.000Tucker Carlson or John Kennedy or Mike Savage or Rush Limbaugh and all these other people that I admire and like and listen to, they're next on the hit parade.
00:48:14.000This is a purge of politically incorrect thought.
00:48:30.000Last night, I'm looking at my text message, and I get a text message from one of the guys I work with, and he says, boy, is Facebook fucking with us.
00:48:40.000So it just, you know, it's trench warfare.
00:48:43.000They are heavily involved in using fancy computer tricks to limit our reach and our ability to speak.
00:49:22.000I'm often criticized for not giving Antifa and the socio-fascists, the paramilitary wing of the DNC, not giving them enough credit, and not caring about them as human beings.
00:49:33.000I see Antifa as misguided, and I often check in on them.
00:49:37.000For example, you know the guy that Rufio Panman knocked out, sent his glasses flying, and then he hit his head on the pavement after he was knocked out cold for attacking Rufio, for attacking our guys.
00:49:48.000I thought, whatever happened to that guy?
