On this episode of He Will Not Divide Us, we have a special guest on the show, Jared, who is not gay. We talk about Matthew McConaughey and why he might never work again. We also talk about why Donald Trump is the most liberal president the country has ever seen.
00:01:41.000We've got a surprising guest coming up for you later today.
00:01:44.000And for those of you watching right now, I know the video and audio leaves room to be desired, but we will upload this tomorrow with our very own audio, so you'll have a bit of a better experience.
00:01:53.000And, you know, we're just doing the best that we can, especially in today's environment.
00:02:00.000Well, you know, keep your hands on the TriCaster.
00:03:25.000When you think about his policies, he's against NAFTA. He was against, obviously, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which the left was entirely against until they became for it.
00:03:32.000The second Donald Trump became against it.
00:03:34.000So, Bernie and him have a lot in common there.
00:04:00.000And also on interest gained, on interest earned, he wants to tax that as personal income so that hedge fund managers and big Wall Street, they should be taxed at personal income levels, just as anyone else.
00:04:12.000So when people say he will not divide us, you know, they talk about this, and of course we have rioting in the streets.
00:04:17.000We have people lighting women's hair on fire at the Women's March yesterday at Berkeley.
00:04:21.000We have people sucker-punching people in the face.
00:04:23.000By the way, we have Jake Shields who actually protected someone, an MMA fighter, former UFC fighter, coming on the show next week, who saved someone who was bludgeoned by peaceful protesters.
00:07:27.000All I'm going to say is that I am pretty much on the right wing and I go further over to the right wing every day and every time I have a conversation with a liberal who does not back up their points and has no idea how the fucking world works.
00:07:41.000So were you always this way or has this recent election, kind of like you said, Gavin, Lauren, maybe yours truly, has it changed your viewpoint?
00:12:11.000This wouldn't have been my first choice.
00:12:13.000It would have been probably spend time at home in my lounger, wait on the list of Applebee's, and then Chuck E. Cheese and then way down there here.
00:15:11.000But do you feel that, even after the primers, because the left has behaved so poorly, you look at these protests, you look at the meltdowns, especially in your neck of the woods.
00:17:15.000So they hit a guy who isn't Milo, and their justification is, but Milo's a Nazi.
00:17:19.000And Jake Shields, by the way, a vegan from Berkeley or San Francisco, I don't think he's been very much a right-winger his whole life, and he said, who's a Nazi, the gay Jew?
00:17:28.000And the guy's like, he's not Jewish, he's Greek, therefore it's okay to curb stomp a guy in the middle of a Berkeley.
00:17:51.000If you don't like it, then you don't like it.
00:17:53.000Well, I mean, we're talking about he's the most liberal Republican ever, really, at this point, in a way that people should be on board with, you know, pro-gay marriage, let Caitlyn Jenner use the restroom.
00:18:00.000He's the very first elected president, as he came in as the president-elect, who was pro-gay marriage.
00:18:07.000And at one point was a fan of single-payer.
00:18:09.000If you look at his solutions, they're certainly not super far right-wing.
00:18:34.00045% of the people who can vote, registered voters, didn't vote.
00:18:38.000And so, those 45%, you shush, because you didn't vote.
00:18:42.000Superman says, well, speaking of women, you know, he's proposed a $600 billion program for maternity leave, which is something that the left should be...
00:23:13.000We actually want to talk with some people and see, you know, what is the main concern protest with Trump, considering that he's probably the furthest left president who's a Republican that we've had.
00:24:21.000Well, the reason, it's not the wall itself that promotes hate, it's how he determined the wall, how he established it, like, we're trying to get out rapists and terrorists, and these words that he's...
00:24:31.000Well, I think we want to get rid of rape culture.
00:25:06.000But I'm saying he's saying these hateful words to immigrants and people themselves are claiming or are the ones who are placing this on the immigrants who are coming in.
00:25:16.000And there's immigrants who are trying to come in who are just trying to work hard and make us better.
00:25:59.000They should lead with trying to help others worse than putting other people down.
00:26:03.000Talking about Cubans, a lot of Cubans came here legally when there's a lot of other people who are suffering and did not have the privilege that Cubans had.
00:27:37.000I come all the time because I really believe he will not guide us.
00:27:41.000And I think that all the people who are fighting for their rights are doing it for a reason.
00:27:45.000Don't we think, okay, if we say he will not divide us, is it possible that maybe people with your view, with what you've said, respectfully, are dividing yourselves?
00:29:14.000A temporary moratorium, a 120-day moratorium vetting people, of course all green card holders were allowed to come back, which I think that was very poorly rolled out.
00:29:25.000But these countries were laid out as dangerous as to watch by one President, Barack Obama.
00:29:29.000This is not the first time this has happened.
00:29:32.000It happened under Jimmy Carter during the Iranian crisis.
00:29:34.000It happened with Barack Obama, with Iraq.
00:29:36.000But the approach was different under Obama.
00:29:37.000And also, you've got a situation where...
00:29:40.000The countries that have actually sent dangerous people to America, such as Saudi Arabia, such as Pakistan, were not targeted by the ban.
00:29:47.000Can I explain to you why that would be?
00:29:49.000I know the popular implication is that it's because he has investments with those countries.
00:29:53.000It would be because these are places amidst actual current Islamic civil wars where Christians are burned alive in cages in record numbers.
00:29:59.000So yes, Muslims do burn Christians alive in cages.
00:30:02.000What if we just said, Let's bring over all the LGBTQ people from this country first, as opposed to giving priority to Christians who are being burned alive.
00:30:10.000They make up 10% of Syria, but less than 2%.
00:30:12.000Is that what you would do from a policy standpoint?
00:30:14.000I think if we could find some common ground and say, let's bring over Christians first, because they're being persecuted there, and every gay person in Syria.
00:30:24.000I think we should bring over everyone who isn't a threat.
00:30:26.000We've got a very efficient, effective vetting process now.
00:30:29.000But wouldn't it be, wouldn't it stand to reason that we're bringing in less than 2% of Christian Syrians, they make 10% of the population, they are most at risk.
00:30:36.000If we're talking about humanitarian aid, wouldn't it stand, shouldn't we bring people in who are most likely to be killed first?
00:31:59.000I'm saying we're not living in Sweden.
00:32:00.000I don't understand why Donald Trump's policies are divisive.
00:32:03.000But we always point to Sweden as an example for healthcare, for a social welfare state.
00:32:08.000The point is, Europe is crumbling right now.
00:32:10.000Do you realize that Europeans have entirely different opinions from Americans on the refugee crisis, even though they're much further left?
00:32:18.000What's the European approval rating of Donald Trump right now?
00:32:20.000Again, you're the one who's switching the facts around.
00:32:23.000That's completely irrelevant to the point.
00:32:24.000Why do you think 65% of Europeans would support a full burqa ban to 25% of Americans when they're way further to the left of the United States than every other policy?
00:32:34.000They've been experiencing this crisis.
00:32:36.000Now, I think we should let in refugees, people, like we said, Christians, people who are persecuted, burned alive.
00:32:40.000But I do think we have a problem with this one.
00:32:42.000No, I don't think Donald Trump's ban is wrong.
00:32:44.000I think it was rolled out improperly for the same reasons that Barack Obama wasn't wrong in targeting these countries.
00:32:48.000So why should we ban Muslims from those seven countries?
00:32:50.000Why should we put a temporary 120-day moratorium on those countries?
00:32:53.000Yeah, because right now we're at a civil war with Islamic fundamentalist terrorism.
00:33:00.000So you believe that Islamic terrorism globally is not a threat?
00:33:03.000No, I think Islamic terrorism may be a threat, but...
00:33:07.000How many people on American soil has Islamic terrorism killed over the last, let's say, 20 years versus how many homegrown people, how many homegrown terrorists have killed people with, let's say, illegal guns, firearms, and other things like that?
00:33:19.000First off, far more from Islamic terrorism.
00:34:24.000That is not inherently an act of white supremacy.
00:34:26.000Now, if you want to attribute everything to white supremacy, that's why people are getting burned, their hair burned and punched in the streets, because, hey, listen, if you call people Nazis enough, it's okay to punch them.
00:34:42.000And if you don't understand the geopolitics of Quebec, it's not really something I would talk about, because it can be embarrassing rather quickly.
00:34:48.000But let's get to things that, and I wouldn't expect you to know that, just like I wouldn't understand the intricate politics of Denmark.
00:35:04.000TPP, NAFTA, Donald Trump being really supporting of the middle class worker.
00:35:08.000That's why he won them in record numbers.
00:35:10.000As a matter of fact, he's won nearly every liberal demographic that we thought for sure he would lose in a landslide.
00:35:15.000Yeah, but union working class voters who were once seen the stronghold of the DNC have now become so turned off by the left, right, that they've actually...
00:35:24.000Michigan union voters voting for Donald Trump.
00:35:54.000So we were just talking about the rioting.
00:35:57.000What's your opinion on that, on these protests?
00:35:58.000Why is it where every single protest where leftists gather, there's violence?
00:36:02.000Whether it's here with Shia, whether it's the Women's March, whether it's Black Lives Matter, whether it's the interruption at the inauguration.
00:36:09.000I think you're trying to paint a straw man.
00:36:11.000Every single one has multiple felonies.
00:37:22.000I think he wants a $600 billion package for women for maternity leave.
00:37:27.000I think the fact that he wants to take interest carried and tax it at personal income, he'd be the first president to actually take it to Wall Street and tax hedge fund managers and big Wall Street and people who work for these big firms.
00:40:40.000I mean, it was one of those things I think a lot of us pulled the lever like, well, he's not Hillary, didn't know what was going to happen.
00:40:44.000But when you see these riots in the streets and trash cans on fire and people being bludgeoned, I think that if you held the election today, I think Donald Trump would actually win by a much larger margin because a lot of people are going, the left is showing themselves to be the immature children that we always knew them to be.
00:40:59.000Do you think there might be some validity to that?
00:41:46.000We see that person who was beaten into a coma out there.
00:41:49.000They said, well, this happened because Milo is a Nazi.
00:41:52.000The gay Jew, by the way, who prefers black genitalia.
00:41:56.000If you call people Nazis, if you call them white supremacists enough, well, guess what?
00:42:01.000If you didn't have the opportunity to, let's say, kill Hitler, or if you saw an actual Nazi who wanted to kill a Jew, I wouldn't blame you at all for punching him in the face.
00:42:09.000I think that that would be instinctive.
00:42:11.000I don't mean to monopolize the whole...
00:44:54.000Well, that's an interesting question because a lot of libertarians believe in ending the drug war entirely because they think that that would reduce crime.
00:47:08.000I think there's a rebound effect occurring right now where a lot of people, maybe people who weren't necessarily conservatives or right-wing, they just see the burning streets down.
00:52:38.000- He will not divide us. - And obviously, obviously the police officers are very likely pro-Trump because the left constantly shits on them, so we appreciate them being very helpful here and keeping people safe.
00:52:55.000As a matter of fact, they're not allowed to express their political opinions, but there's an officer right here who was very nice who came over.
00:53:12.000In New York, it's kind of like campuses.
00:53:13.000Once you get out of Manhattan, it's the leftists who scream the loudest.
00:53:17.000I do think you probably find a lot of people here in Queens, in Brooklyn, Long Island, who have a lot more in common with those Midwestern voters than you would think.
