00:00:07.000Lord All night Sundays and go Follow me up, they say hi Dick, get your rolling head pop Say that rolling poppin' offion out the half of it We'll catch it after math of it Protect all the black accurate Me a quality close like Bethlehem and
00:00:36.000Nazareth After this you be present God kettle blasters are heavy.
00:00:42.000How did Radio Raheem carry that thing and do the right thing?
00:01:47.000He was humiliated, I think, on Bill Maher's show by Christopher Hitchens, where Christopher Hitchens was mocking him for saying 9-11 was an inside job, probably trying to save his cool Muslim ass.
00:01:59.000And Mostaf just kept saying, you don't know me.
00:03:45.000I just want to discuss a few things in the news.
00:03:47.000Fleckis, Austin Fleckis of Fleckis Talks, we've been talking off the air, and he brought up an interesting theory.
00:03:55.000He thinks that stimulus, that $1.3 trillion thing Trump signed, was 3D chess, 4D chess, 5D chess.
00:04:05.000And he says there was, what, 800 billion in there or some massive number in there for military spending.
00:04:12.000All he has to do now is say the wall is self-defense.
00:04:15.000And the next thing you know, the military is building the wall for 10 times the price it needs.
00:04:21.000I think you could build it for 80 billion, easy peasy.
00:04:25.000But now we have quite a bit more allotted to it.
00:04:29.000So I think that's an interesting theory, and I think it's got some serious legs.
00:04:32.000So I was mad at Trump for signing that, but maybe it was incredibly intelligent.
00:04:36.000We also didn't cover the fact that the Pulse nightclub shooter was an FBI informant.
00:04:44.000Again, kids, you keep talking about the government regulating your guns and giving the government more authority, and every time we look under a rock, we see more government incompetence.
00:04:55.000How many times was that Nicholas Cruz reported to the police and they just ignored it?
00:05:01.000And here we find out that this guy, Omar Mateen, was that his name?
00:05:32.000I haven't watched a sitcom in a long time, but she's pro-MAGA, and she makes her sister, Jackie, the ex-cop, a Hillary supporter with a pussy hat on, who isn't a complete fool.
00:05:45.000And they make Roseanne's Trump admiration totally reasonable.
00:05:49.000It's funny seeing the writers in interviews say, we had to remind ourselves that we're not supposed to be mouthpieces, and that this isn't what we think, it's what the Connors think.
00:05:59.000Yeah, that's what writing is, dummies.
00:06:24.000So on the show today, we have Shiva, who is running against Elizabeth Warren.
00:06:29.000He's The real Indian against the fake Indian.
00:06:32.000And I wanted to have him on because, with all these gun marches, I was reminded of the Boston March where he did a talk for free speech, and everyone wanted to shut him down, like tens of thousands of people, because he's a Nazi.
00:07:54.000And I also want to look at, maybe we'll do this first, is this new group of women in Australia who do these terribly patronizing videos about the troubles with society and how evil and sexist and everything we are.
00:08:09.000And the way they talk, the way they explain it, and it's so facile that it shows their mindset, which is that of a five-year-old.
00:08:48.000It says, your next day is only as big as your heart cares of the day before where all the love was together with friends believing in yourself and cherished the moment.
00:09:02.000And you go, well, I'm glad you got a voice.
00:09:10.000So these are some broads in Australia who keep putting out these brutally cringy videos where they think they are conveying some profound truths in a fun and interesting way, but they're really just talking to a five-year-old.
00:09:25.000So this particular one is called the Internet Song, and it's all about the internet.
00:09:31.000Now, my youngest kid is five, and this is about how I would talk to him.
00:10:24.000So we're going to learn why the internet is crappy.
00:10:27.000And I think we all know where this is going.
00:10:29.000She's going to be a nice person who gets bullied online.
00:10:33.000am i correct to a job which is pretty busy maybe she'll share a video of a dog or download recipes Most importantly, she has empathy and doesn't feel like she has to be mean.
00:12:26.000But we keep saying there's a backlash on the internet or people are mad that this woman is black or that this plus-size girl is in the movies.
00:16:33.000So I'm using it as a springboard to talk about.
00:16:35.000And I grew up with these kind of guys, especially in Canada.
00:16:38.000And it's usually half black, half white guy.
00:16:41.000The black dad leaves, and they grew up with the white mom in a white environment in the suburbs, all white people.
00:16:48.000And white people, they don't want to have a black friend who likes watching the office and skateboards and plays golf.
00:16:56.000That's not good status as a white person.
00:16:59.000When you say some of my best friends are black, you want that black guy to be into Malcolm X. And so these people do the free market of social ideas and they go, all right, you want to have a Malcolm X friend?
00:17:14.000I see this with other races too, like Indian girls, you know, dot, dot, feather.
00:17:19.000They'll have the nose ring and the sari, even though it's not their culture, really.
00:17:23.000They grew up white, surrounded by white people, or Indians with feathers, they're all like going to the powwow and they have a tattoo of a feather or something.
00:17:33.000Or Asians with their Asian tattoos, even though they didn't grow up like that.
00:17:38.000People exaggerate their own race because white people want them to.
00:17:43.000It's actually a form of performing for the white man.
00:17:48.000And I got in trouble for saying this about Corey Booker before, but I want to give a list of examples of these Talcum X types because they're phonies.
00:17:57.000Now, again, I know nothing about this guy, Sean Alexander Allen.
00:18:01.000I'm just using him as a visual aid, and I can't help but notice he's got the big Malcolm X thing on his Twitter profile.
00:19:50.000And I noticed in her Twitter, you know, much more recently when she had that show on MSNBC, she was all, she's got her dreads on, her little, you know, wool braids.
00:20:00.000And all her pictures were with all her black friends.
00:20:03.000And she's talking about collard greens and chitlins.
00:20:33.000Didn't know him, didn't have anything to do with Alicia Keys' upbringing.
00:20:37.000She was raised, I believe, in the Upper East Side here in New York City.
00:20:40.000She went to private schools, went to, I think she went to Juilliard, she went to music schools, learned classical piano, all white people everywhere.
00:21:01.000And then she's on the BET Awards talking about black culture, this, black culture, that.
00:21:05.000The only argument you'd have is if we lived in a brutally racist society where even though you grew up white, no one accepted you because they saw your skin was slightly darker.
00:22:44.000And he grows his afro out, like he's in the Black Panthers.
00:22:46.000And then he starts taking a knee and hanging out with, ironically, Sean King, the king of Talcam X's, and talking about the black experience and how horrible and racist America is.
00:22:57.000Now, there's an argument for America being racist, but you're the last person who should be talking about it.
00:23:03.000It's like Warren Buffett talking about how crappy it is to be homeless in America.
00:23:08.000I mean, yes, I guess it is pretty bad to be homeless, but no one wants to hear that coming from Warren Buffett.
00:23:13.000And no one sane wants to hear about Colin Kaepernick talking about how horrible it is to be black in America.
00:26:11.000I was watching this gun march over the weekend, and I'm looking at hundreds of thousands of people all over the world, Canada, Britain, everywhere.
00:26:24.000And I'm looking at them and I'm thinking, what do you guys want?
00:26:28.000And it reminded me of your march in Boston where tens of thousands of people showed up and I'm looking at these mobs going, what are you saying?
00:27:00.000I think a lot of these are top-down driven.
00:27:02.000And when you look at issues like gun violence or when you look at a lot of these complex issues we face, the politicians have no idea how to handle them because these are not simple issues anymore.
00:27:13.000And if you look at the gun violence issue, what's happening, in my opinion, in fact, it's interesting you bring this up because today at 2 p.m., I got invited by a bunch of local high school students in Arlington.
00:27:25.000You know, the never again, they said, hey, we're inviting all the Senate candidates.
00:27:31.000And my position on this is probably going to be vastly different than sort of your typical left or right issue because the Second Amendment, in my opinion, was set up so we could protect ourselves from the government.
00:27:45.000And I think that's one of the most powerful things we have next to the First Amendment.
00:27:49.000And so when I look at this issue, if you really take that principle all the way through, my view is we should still have local militias, Gavin.
00:28:11.000You know, we send 18-year-old kids with all sorts of weaponry to go elsewhere and kill people, right?
00:28:16.000No one talks about that when Hillary Clinton or the Bushes or, you know, we sent kids to go fight these wars.
00:28:22.000No one's talking about gun violence there.
00:28:24.000So the politicians and other forces essentially, like, as we say in systems theory, like to take a reductionist approach, right?
00:28:32.000Take a very complex problem and try to find this one little solution because it's beneficial to them and get a bunch of people marching around on that.
00:28:39.000That's what you're really seeing with these protests right now.
00:28:43.000And the students are essentially not having an opportunity to really understand the real issues.
00:29:24.000Write down what you want to happen in the government, and I will go and institute it.
00:29:30.000And I don't think they would know what to write.
00:29:33.000No, they don't, because what's happened is the educational system has been completely destroyed.
00:29:38.000People have no sense of how to look at a problem and think anymore.
00:29:42.000And this goes through all the academics, right?
00:29:44.000The academics, it's like, you know, the old story of, you know, Buddha, who tells about the king who brings in the six blind men to touch an elephant.
00:29:52.000And one guy touches a tail and he thinks it's a brush.
00:30:02.000Because they're basically morons, most of these politicians, right?
00:30:06.000So they look at a problem and want to find whatever piece they can, hang on to it, and then sell it through their political consultants.
00:30:14.000That's what they do because they don't know how to solve a problem.
00:30:17.000The real issue, if you want to talk about violence, is that when you, you know, I literally took the spreadsheet that I found on a site, Gavin, with all the issues that are taking place.
00:31:44.000We should all have access to the local armory.
00:31:47.000And the police force and the military should be a standing militia, should be a people's base militia.
00:31:53.000That's really the real solution to this.
00:31:55.000You know what's confusing about all this, too, is young people, they surely you can see, like you do occupy Wall Street, you have no weapons.
00:32:03.000You go there, the police just mace you, willy-nilly.
00:32:20.000Now the Bundies had to keep fighting lawfare, but there was no pepper spray in the ranchers' faces in that instance because they were armed.
00:32:28.000Surely young people see that and they go, I want to be empowered.
00:32:32.000Somehow the DNC has brainwashed these kids into wanting more regulation, wanting less power, wanting to be nanny stated.
00:32:56.000But Eisenhower clearly pointed out the notion of the military-industrial complex.
00:33:01.000By the way, the original speech was supposed to say military-industrial academic complex.
00:33:06.000The science advisor who was an MIT president removed the word academic, and 10 years later, Fulbright brought it up military-industrial academic complex, right?
00:33:14.000There is a deep state, and that organization, led by both wings of both of these parties, in my opinion, basically believes in the centralization of power.
00:33:24.000And that's fundamentally what's going on.
00:33:26.000It's basically removing people's rights, which ultimately comes from decentralized local governance, you know, and in the issue with guns is local militia.
00:33:37.000You know, everyday people don't want to go killing each other, right?
00:33:45.000These issues that we're seeing, you can get into conspiracy theories, but fundamentally, they're issues of individuals who are making these acts and how they got these weapons, some they should get or not get.
00:33:59.000But it are individuals who are making these actions.
00:34:02.000It's not like a collective people who want to go shoot up people.
00:34:07.000But clearly, as you point out, Gavin, they're leveraging those issues to really go at the heart of the principles of the United States Constitution.
00:34:15.000I mean, that's how America was founded.
00:34:16.000A bunch of militias got together and kicked the British out.
00:34:19.000It's frustrating watching all this happen because you realize the DNC, you know, they are big picture thinkers in one sense.
00:34:28.000They go, what accrues the most power for me?
00:34:30.000Like with healthcare, Obama said, all right, let's get everyone on my plan, and then we can control the money, we can control the insurance companies, we control this.
00:34:39.000And now with this gun thing, they're going, we control the guns, we control everything.
00:34:43.000And it seems like the right, their modus operandi, the good ones at least, the true paleocons, they want to give as much power to the people and away from the government as possible.
00:34:56.000And maybe that will be our downfall because the ones who play Dirty Pool and accrue power end up with more power.
00:35:43.000But what I'm trying to say is, if you look at traditional indigenous cultures, and we can talk more about this, right?
00:35:50.000They were always decentralized, right?
00:35:52.000And the founders knew that's where power laid, where you have local communities, people doing their own things in their local communities, right?
00:36:01.000They never envisioned these massive big governments.
00:36:05.000India is an interesting background because prior to British colonialism was just this all local, you know, hundreds of thousands of small villages that work together.
00:36:14.000And then you had the centralization attempted.
00:36:17.000But India has these two models going on.
00:36:19.000One is this centralization and the other is in this other world of total decentralization.
00:36:24.000So it's hard for people to understand it.
00:36:25.000But the bottom line is those in power cannot understand decentralization.
00:37:06.000This notion that someone else from above is going to tell you what to do as though they know the complexity of what's occurring on the ground is completely not only hubris, but it's the ultimate of control, as you just said.
00:37:47.000Everyone wants the nanny state to come in.
00:37:50.000And it's a dangerous trend because it's not how we got here.
00:37:54.000Yeah, I mean, what's interesting, when I came here, I mean, I came here from India in 1970, in the 70s when I grew up in the public school systems, the teachers had a lot more power.
00:38:03.000If they saw nonsense taking place, you know, they would deal with it, right?
00:38:07.000You didn't have to have all this coming.
00:38:16.000I don't remember this kind of gun violence taking place.
00:38:19.000All of this has been perpetuated by the intervention of massive government creating all of these regulations, thinking everyone else is stupid.
00:38:28.000And what they've created or want to create is the military-industrial academic complex at its height.
00:38:35.000And that's what they're heading towards.
00:38:37.000So what's great about the gun violence issue, Gavin, I think it's a great opportunity to say, you know what?
00:38:42.000You're never going to be able to solve these problems because you don't know what the F you're really doing, right?
00:39:52.000You have lawyers, you have lobbyists, you have people who think the way the world is supposed to be, never ever having engaged in the real world.
00:40:39.000And the Democrats had control of the Congress, at least, the Congress, the Senate, and the executive branch, for at least two or three years.
00:40:47.000So, you know, if they're going to try to blame Trump on this, they're completely insane or think they're going to get away with something.
00:40:54.000This is a systemic issue that goes back to the fact that big government thinks it can control people, that it knows better, that people don't know better.
00:41:23.000I take total credit for that because, you know, when we say only a real Indian can defeat a fake Indian, Gavin, it's really hitting at the heart of all of these fake guys, Elizabeth Warren being sort of the face of it.
00:42:07.000By the way, people who do drugs and booze, if you're watching the show, you're going to notice you get ailments after a while.
00:42:15.000I've been on booze benders where I noticed that my knuckles are all bloody or something or I've sprained something.
00:42:20.000That's God telling you to take it down a notch.
00:42:23.000If you have a broken foot that's in a foot cast, maybe it's time not to be picking fights at Burger King and shoving the monitors off the counter.
00:42:32.000Nature is trying to tell you that you need to slow down.
00:43:46.000He rolled his wheelchair up to the door, got out, started bitching about them wrecking their Burger King, and then when they kick him out, he has to get his chair on the way out.
