00:02:55.000I went on a ride along once and the guys, the cops in the car, both of them had all of the Lord of the Rings series on their phones, like five megabytes.
00:03:12.000But anyway, so that's the front page of the post, right?
00:03:28.000What would you do as a cop if you get called to go somewhere, you see someone pointing a shiny silver thing at you that looks exactly like a gun?
00:03:38.000You're training, the cardboard dude who comes out and does that gets shot.
00:03:42.000If you don't shoot that cardboard dude in the police academy, you're in trouble.
00:04:07.000But we have to go all the way down there to find the picture.
00:04:10.000And the way it's like, keep going down, you don't see any picture of him holding it.
00:04:16.000Here on the New York Post, we see him aiming it at people.
00:04:21.000So if you just read the New York Times, you see that headline and you go, some guy probably was on his phone or he had a black wallet and he was going out to pay for something, you know, maybe a college education at Harvard, and the cops just peg him off from the car because they're scared of black people because we live in a divisive society.
00:09:25.000You've got to understand in South Africa, after apartheid ended, like white people were never punished, right?
00:09:30.000Like it's not like the government was like, we're going to send white people to jail and we're going to take white people's houses and we're taking white people's money and things white people stole.
00:09:59.000You see that so much in American politics.
00:10:01.000Like that beautiful little girl, Lexi Page, was taken away from her foster parents and brought to another family because she's 1.8% Indian.
00:10:10.000And if she goes with this other family, they're like 1.2.
00:10:12.000So she goes up a percentage and now she's 3% in a 3% Indian family and it's part of the Indian Child Welfare Act.
00:11:53.000It's funny how some things set us off and others don't.
00:11:56.000Like the NRA stuff, I just go, well, I don't understand your argument.
00:12:00.000But this kind of stuff, this hypocrisy, really makes me sick because people are being murdered right now.
00:12:05.000And the assumption, by the way, if you have a problem with it, is that you can't accept that you're going to be a minority soon and you're losing power.
00:13:03.000So he's talking to Oprah, and the way he uses his rhetoric and charm with no facts or anything, just garbage talk, appeals to ladies, especially Oprah, who's taking this hook, line, and sinker.
00:14:24.000Having an issue with Donald Trump doesn't mean that as every Republican saw it before he was in office, you know?
00:14:29.000And so if, as you said, going back to character, if your character shifts depending on who's in power, then was it your character to begin with?
00:15:03.000I don't know if Donald Trump is a white supremacist.
00:15:06.000I do know that he prefers white people over black people.
00:15:10.000I do know that he has said on multiple occasions that he doesn't want black people involved in the counting of his money or involved in the running of his world.
00:15:19.000I do know that he has specifically gone out of his way with these companies to oppress black people.
00:15:24.000I do know that he hasn't been as quick to react in the aid of black people as he has been with others.
00:15:29.000I do know that he has supported and continues to retweet white supremacists on his Twitter account.
00:15:34.000So I always say to people, I go, you tell me.
00:15:37.000It's weird because America is the kind of place where someone can get more offended at you calling them a racist than at the fact that they are a racist.
00:15:47.000So this dude is chalk a block with rhetoric and divisive bullshit, yet he gets away with saying that's the problem with America in general.
00:16:16.000I was on Anthony Coome's show yesterday, right?
00:16:20.000And there was this comedian there named, what's his name, Nate Bargates.
00:16:26.000And, you know, all you have to do to look up to see how derivative all comedians are is take any comedian's name and then put Trump next to it.
00:20:32.000Now, Rob Riner, as we all know, played meathead on the show, Archie Bunker's Place, All in the Family.
00:20:39.000And what I thought was so great about that is Norman Lear and him and Carl O'Connor wanted to make a show that lampooned right-wingers, blue-collars, and Archie Bunker's the fool who knows nothing and can't even pronounce words correctly.
00:24:41.000Let's talk to a black radical from the NAACP who is a second-generation civil rights activist and see if she agrees that Trump is Hitler and Roseanne is a Nazi show.
00:24:54.000One aspect of Trumpism that this really underscores is fear and insecurity of a rapidly changing world.
00:25:01.000One that is changing demographically, becoming there's not going to be one racial majority in this country very, very soon.
00:25:09.000demography is not destiny so it doesn't mean we'll have a fully fair world but the point is that's Did you hear that?
00:25:47.000Have you said, like, I understand, I've heard people say we don't want to be completely replaced and wiped out by all new immigrants who aren't speaking English and change the fabric of America.
00:26:38.000Yeah, because with Archie Bunker, you failed and made Arch awesome, and Roseanne is successful and makes Roseanne awesome.
00:26:47.000So in a sense, those two shows are exactly the same and have the same effect.
00:26:54.000Well, it's different in a very, very significant way in that in this case, you have Roseanne, who is essentially that character.
00:27:06.000I mean, Carol O'Connor was even far more left than I was.
00:27:11.000I mean, so we were satirizing this whole thing.
00:27:14.000She takes it to a different level because we didn't have social media in those days.
00:27:19.000You can push out a message like she did with this QAnon and the storm and all of that.
00:27:24.000And that takes on a tremendous power so that you have Fox News and Sinclair and Breitbart and InfoWars and all of this, which used to be considered and thought of as the lunatic fringe, if you will, have now become mainstream media.
00:27:46.000And you have a situation where the truthful journalists, people who are pursuing the truth, are diminished.
00:27:55.000And then you have this problem where democracy is really in trouble.
00:27:59.000And I would go to Maya's point, which I think is really the core of all of this.
00:28:04.000It goes back to the original sin of this country, which is slavery.
00:28:08.000And we are fighting this last battle of the Civil War.
00:28:12.000And those people who are the alt-right, the white supremacists, are hanging on for dear life.
00:28:17.000And they're using these propaganda tools, which are not just, you know, like I say, lunatic fringe.
00:29:38.000Eric Boyd, now charged with the 2007 murders of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom.
00:29:43.000He'd been serving a federal prison sentence for being accessory after the fact.
00:29:47.000We live in a society in America where we're so guilt-ridden, we're such ethnomasochists, we're so ashamed of the West, and we refuse to acknowledge that the West is the best, that we take a story like this, hide this picture, and make it about a racist America where cops shoot people.
00:30:03.000Then when we have a horrific story like Chris Newsom and Shannon Christian, we totally ignore it and it gets swept under the rug.
00:30:11.000Do you know how horrific this story is?
00:30:13.000It was in Knoxville, Tennessee, about 10 years ago.
00:30:17.000They were both, this couple was carjacked, dragged out to a dangerous part of town down some alleyway.
00:30:26.000Knoxville, Tennessee is local news, about the only place you see them talking about it.
00:30:30.000So the guy gets stripped naked and raped.
00:30:34.000And the spooky thing about this, by the way, is there was five people doing it.
00:30:38.000Five African-American people of color murdering, raping, and torturing this young couple for no other reason but their race.
00:30:49.000Now, after they rape and torture her, they take bleach and as she's alive, they're putting it down her throat and trying to get their own DNA because they orally raped her too, trying to get their DNA out of her body.
00:31:45.000And I bet you you could even frame it and you go, Gavin McInnes brings up 10-year-old murder that a lot of white supremacists also reference all the time.
00:32:14.000And it's ironic that they talk about divisive behavior and polarizing the country when that's what you do when you lie and make it all about slavery and all about 400 years ago.
00:32:26.000The cops didn't randomly shoot this guy.
00:33:19.000I didn't mean for the entire show to be a we're not racist rant, but I thought this was a funny video that does the same sort of all dogs are mammals, all cats are mammals, all dogs are cats.
00:35:22.000You know what's ironic about all this?
00:35:27.000This is clearly done by women, and they're not being very logical.
00:35:31.000That's the crazy part here, is we clearly have either women or men who were raised by single women, so beta males, non-ball-having males.
00:35:41.000And instead of confronting us about any one of these details, like I could give you tomes of literature, gigantic encyclopedias of examples of any one of these cases, from the brutal suicide rate to the whole Smash the Patriarchy, to the whole All Men Are Rapists, to the whole All Victims Need to Be Believed.
00:36:04.000I can find you 157 links right now that back up all of these claims.
00:36:11.000There is an anti-patriarchy movement going on in this country.
00:39:14.000The guy who played Sid Vicious, Gary Oldman, said, I couldn't say, you know, Hollywood is run by Jews, or I'd be forced to apologize the next day.
00:39:22.000And then the next day, he's forced to apologize.
00:39:42.000I wish, you know, we could get these people on my show.
00:39:44.000I wish I could talk to someone from Media Matters and say, you know, you don't think this is true?
00:39:50.000You don't think there's a war on the patriarchy?
00:39:52.000You don't think an integral part of liberal culture is blaming white guys for everything, for refusing to acknowledge that they created the modern world?
