Jared and S.Crowder are back with another episode of Not Gay Jarred! This week, the boys discuss the return of He's Been Traveling, Europe, Dean K. Morgan Jr., Rob Schneider's comments on Antifa, Vox's new video on Sanctuary Cities, and more.
00:04:18.000Another big thing, Joy Behar, did you see this?
00:04:19.000Joy Behar is in hot water because she compared illegal immigrants to slaves and Jews in the Holocaust.
00:04:25.000It's one of those things when you're thinking about, well, how do you write comedy?
00:04:27.000She already went to slavery and Jews in the Holocaust.
00:04:31.000Usually if someone compares it to slavery, you're like, oh, and someone compared this to Jews in the Holocaust because we're taking it more extreme.
00:04:37.000She just snatched up all the comedy potential.
00:05:26.000Is not lost on people like Rob Schneider, apparently.
00:05:29.000Though some did question his motivations because Berkeley, and I can kind of understand, they put an official moratorium on the upcoming release, Deuce Bigelow 3 Fascist Gigolo.
00:05:39.000So it seems like they had a little bit more of a reason.
00:05:54.000So before we get to Sanctuary Cities, this is the last topic we think we needed to hit on because, gosh, it was flooding my Twitter timeline and we wrote about it at ladderwithcrowder.com.
00:06:03.000At Berkeley, this person was crumpling up a Donald Trump flag, I guess you would say, sort of like a promotional banner.
00:08:15.000Which is, as it's known scientifically, this is actually found exclusively on campuses, not to be confused with its parent species, just the average mainstream tranny.
00:08:24.000Because on campus, when you add gender fluidity, of course, the idea of pansexual, there are multiple combinations.
00:10:00.000And then, of course, this individual claims to be a female, but on campus, that only increases the likelihood of them being an actual female by 1%.
00:10:07.000We should note that with these studies, there is a plus-minus percentage point of inaccuracy.
00:10:13.000So, statistically, it gets us into murky territory.
00:11:49.000If someone disagrees with me, we'll have Blair White who disagrees with me on some issues.
00:11:52.000If someone disagrees with some points of view on this show, that's fine.
00:11:56.000I don't have an issue with MSNBC. You don't really hear us taking a lot of shots at MSNBC, much more so CNN, because Chris Cuomo thinks of himself as, my God, an actual journalist.
00:12:05.000So when Vox goes out and tries to act as though they're simply describing what a sanctuary city is and what's occurring in practice, and you draw your own conclusions when it's clearly biased reporting, that's where my antenna go up.
00:12:20.000So let's let Vox describe for you what a sanctuary city is.
00:14:20.000But often, it comes down to this: How does a local police officer handle an unauthorized immigrant that he's already arrested for some other reason?
00:14:57.000Okay, if that's not enough, if that doesn't seem like the argument is substantiated enough that, hey, you should enforce the law and deport an illegal immigrant, let me throw some numbers at you.
00:15:06.000An illegal immigrant, we've talked about this on the show before, costs the taxpayers about $5,000 annually.
00:15:11.000The cost of incarcerating a felon or one of these illegal immigrants can be $32,000 if they're being arrested for committing a serious crime.
00:15:20.000Comparably, flying them home, courtesy of Ice Air, is between $700 and $2,000.
00:16:21.000They get into very quickly the constitutionality.
00:16:23.000Now, constitutionally, local law enforcement are not required to enforce federal law, basically law enforcement that would fall under federal jurisdictions.
00:16:46.000They're just asking local law enforcement to keep them there long enough so that ICE can come in and do their job and deport these people illegally.
00:16:52.000But let's go with the crux of their argument here, which again goes back to the science of feelings, right?
00:17:00.000The premise, do you really think that illegal immigrants right now are calling their local man in blue, backing the blue fervently for peace disturbances or domestic disputes?
00:18:04.000Do you really think the net result of enforcing deportation laws will be that tax-paying, police-compliant citizens in a Latino paradise will now become an enclave to crime?
00:18:15.000I don't think the evidence will bear that out.
00:18:17.000As a matter of fact, I think the evidence will show a very contrarian conclusion.
00:18:21.000In late January 2017, shortly after he got into office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that opens the door to withholding federal funds from sanctuary cities or counties.
00:18:33.000The wording of that order is vague and it's already being challenged in federal court.
00:18:37.000But if Trump's plan does move forward, it could put local law enforcement officers across the country in a lose-lose situation.
00:18:44.000For them, deciding whether to honor a detainer request is often about choosing between financial security on one hand and public safety on the other.
00:19:06.000If they refuse to enforce the law that ensures the safety and order of its citizenry, the higher-ups or even the taxpayers who fund those who are supposed to carry out the law sometimes cut the purse strings for the lawman.
00:19:18.000Was anyone else not aware of this sort of unwritten...
00:19:21.000Well, actually written, but for most people...
00:19:54.000If the federal government issues a detainer request and the local police department refuses to accept it, the state government can step in by taking away one of the state funding streams from the local police.
00:20:05.000That's what happened in Texas in 2017.
00:20:09.000The governor of the great state of Texas, Greg Abbott, has declared he will sign a law banning sanctuary cities.
00:20:16.000He's already issued an order that cuts funding to those sanctuary cities.
00:20:20.000This is dangerous and I will not allow it as governor of Texas.
00:20:56.000Or are we talking about public safety specifically of communities consisting of illegal aliens because they might live in fear of actual laws being enforced?
00:21:04.000It's like they're arguing for drug dealers.
00:21:22.000Illegal immigrants here tend to commit significant amounts of crime.
00:21:26.000Not all immigrants, not all immigrants are committing crime, but crime is high in the illegal immigrant community.
00:21:32.000It turns out when you skirt the law and flagrantly disregard the law to get here, and you're not even on the books for the law to find you, you may not have a ton of respect for the law.
00:21:43.000And this is the single issue that brought Donald Trump to power.
00:21:48.000Because people who are here legally, and I come from a family.
00:21:56.000I am the biggest advocate of doing it right by the books that you can find.
00:22:00.000But people are tired of the illegal immigration, and this is what brought Donald Trump to power.
00:22:05.000Everyone thought that he was racist, and they said, Donald Trump's racist for wanting to enforce the laws.
00:22:09.000Let's paint him, let's tar and feather him, and the American people will try and distance themselves from the racism of believing and enforcing immigration laws.
00:22:49.000What is the net result here, if we think about it?
00:22:51.000Is the net result, again, if you start enforcing immigration laws, all that's going to happen is we're going to see communities decimated and people are going to be less safe?
00:22:58.000Or if you enforce immigration laws on illegal immigrants, instead of sauntering on over and having every Tom, Dick, and Harry and member of the Latin Kings following suit, they're going to say, Don't come!
00:23:45.000So maybe, when you look at the result, we deport illegal immigrants, illegal immigration goes down, and crime seems to go down in cities with illegal immigration along with it.
00:23:57.000Maybe, maybe, just maybe the public safety issue that we're talking about, the public safety, meaning those who are legally documented, law-abiding citizens, Maybe all of this evidence points toward the fact that the goals are not incongruent, that police don't have to decide between enforcing immigration laws and keeping the public safe, but that actually enforcing immigration laws does keep the public safe.
00:24:52.000The good news is that you can create a homemade solution without the use of any synthetic, unnatural, or harshful chemicals that could harm the environment.
00:25:02.000Just mix three parts vinegar and a couple drops of peppermint in a household spray bottle.
00:26:29.000We'll just push it to the side for now.
00:26:31.000So you've been hosting the Today Show a lot, and you were talking about your recent project there.
00:26:35.000Tell us about this documentary, because I wanted to talk about something else from your Twitter, because as you know, that's always news now.
00:26:42.000But tell me about this documentary first.
00:29:45.000As a matter of fact, if you look at the heat-seeking cameras from the American war jets going overhead, you can just see guys in the hills.
00:30:28.000I'm looking at our new senator, our newly elected senator from California, our U.S. senator, Kamala Harris, and the things she was tweeting – I've never looked at her Twitter feed.
00:30:38.000I started looking at her Twitter feed and I started losing my mind.
00:30:41.000One of them in particular was, an undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.
00:31:23.000So, in California, if I decided to run for U.S. Senate, if Feinstein does go ahead and retire, if that's the case, you know, being socially liberal but fiscally and foreign policy-wise being very conservative, I think that matches up Countrywide very well and certainly within California.
00:32:35.000If there's not jokes, if you can't joke about something, if it's so serious you can't joke about it, then it's either, you know, horrific, like gassing children in Syria or you have no sense of humor.
00:32:45.000Not saying that gassing children in Syria is funny.
00:32:55.000Yeah, you know, it's one of those things, whenever someone comes out and they say in public, like, can you believe that so-and-so said this?
00:33:34.000Is it because he says non-nasty things like this?
00:33:37.000And I think it actually forces more people to look into your history, to look into context, and they realize it's not all that offensive because the left has pushed everything as offensive.
00:33:47.000I don't think almost anything is offensive.
00:33:50.000I'm not getting offended by stuff, and I think that's the way it should be.
00:33:54.000On my Twitter feed, I do have a quote from Martin Luther King talking about his I have a dream speech and talking about how he has a dream that one day his children will be judged not by the color of his skin, but by the content of their character.
00:35:20.000So it could be a possibility if you maybe think about running for office.
00:35:24.000I would encourage you to because obviously you remove a lot of the arguments of the left that you're a Nazi, you're hateful because you've got some ethnicity in you.
00:35:33.000I don't know what it is, but it's enough to check a box.
00:36:22.000If just a couple percent of you people out there, a lottowithcredit.com slash mugclub, join up.
00:36:26.000Listen, it allows us to hire a lot of the other people here on YouTube.
00:36:29.000It allows us to create a coalition of a lot of other people around who've been screwed by the new anti- I guess you would say anti-controversial speech algorithms.
00:38:11.000They're still laying a lot of people off.
00:38:12.000In places like CNN, a lot of these news companies, they don't make their money off of – not a majority of their money off of advertising.
00:38:18.000They make it off of cable subscriptions.
00:38:20.000So when you purchase cable, you're not just kind of – you are directly putting money in the pockets of people who seek to destroy everything you hold dear.
00:38:32.000In a very tangible way when you purchase cable.
00:38:35.000So if you're going to unplug in a very tangible way, you can assist with people who not only are creating this show and the shows at CRTV, but grow it really quickly.
00:38:43.000We don't want to see people out there with Patreon struggling to get by.
00:38:46.000Behind the scenes, I know a lot of people are scared, and I think you're going to see us helping a lot of them really soon.
00:38:55.000If you're a yellow belt in karate, Don't tell anybody you do karate because that could invite a fight, but you can even get the student discount.
00:39:51.000And you did not like me at one point, and I was saddened because I've actually always liked some of your content, even if we don't always agree.
00:39:59.000And I'm glad that we're finally able to get you on the show.
00:40:02.000Yeah, I think that was like a year ago that we had our little Twitter spat.
00:40:19.000This is the right place for self-loathing.
00:40:22.000So Blair, for our audience, people who might not necessarily be familiar with you or people listening sort of terrestrially, explain to them, I mean, you're transgender.
00:40:32.000Would you consider yourself, I don't want to mislabel you, conservative, libertarian, alt-right, just sort of a Trump fan.
00:41:03.000Because obviously, you know, transgenders get ostracized, and we're no strangers to great tranny jokes in this show, but we're no strangers to any jokes in this show.
00:41:11.000But then, so you get that side of it, but then you get the hate, the spite from the left being an expected sort of contributing member of the far-left LGBTQAI. Actually, IA. I just read this yesterday in Austin.
00:41:35.000I don't know how much you know about the general reaction to my channel from that side of the political spectrum, but I'm basically seen as the antichrist of the transgender community.
00:41:48.000I just go against quite a lot of what, especially transgender activists preach, because I think that a lot of the times the people that they prop up to advocate on their behalf and speak about their issues Okay, I was going to say that.
00:42:05.000It must be tough to get the short end of the stick, because I tell you what, we get, on a personal level, I will say this, behind the scenes, nearly every transgender person outside of Theron Meyer we've had in the program has been a crazy person, and we've either had to block them afterward.
00:42:23.000You know, who we just respectfully disagreed with.
00:42:25.000I won't name names, but people can go watch them.
00:42:27.000The longest emails you have ever seen.
00:42:29.000And we're like, gosh, you know, so when these people go out and they're your ambassadors, you must be sitting there with just, it must be like a permanent bruise in your forehead.
00:42:37.000Yes, because I don't like the fact that transgender is politicized at all, because to me, it needs to remain a medical issue, a psychological issue, you know, an issue of neurology and shit.
00:44:00.000I find that the people on the right, I relate to a lot more because to me, they're just easier to Whereas the people on the left, they tend to just be very religious about the beliefs on this topic.
00:44:19.000So for me, I definitely do get more shit from the left.
00:44:24.000But as far as the bathroom issue, neither side has really done a good job of convincing me that this issue matters as much as people want it to be.
00:44:36.000You have on the right, you have the people who, you know, there's often this talking point of if trans people use the bathrooms they want, there's going to be a surge of rapes and assaults and all the worst things in the world.
00:44:47.000And on the left, you have people saying that, you know, If trans people can't use the bathrooms that they want or that they identify with, that they're going to be assaulted and murdered in the bathroom and they're going to kill themselves over the stress of it.
00:44:57.000And I'm just like, oh my God, all these histrionics over bathrooms.
00:45:01.000It's like, I don't like being expected to suspend my knowledge of how the real world works to have these arguments.
00:45:08.000Because in the real world, none of this is happening in bathrooms.
00:45:33.000And then so I would imagine we'd probably agree that if a private business wants to make a decision, you know, for example, in New York, landlords can be sued for using improper pronouns.
00:45:44.000I mean, it is a rule book that changes, I would imagine, even for you.
00:45:50.000We don't know what we're supposed to do or say.
00:45:52.000And then, of course, people like me don't do it anyway.
00:45:53.000That's why I have so much sympathy, because.
00:45:57.000Trans people have been around for a long time, but the issue and the politicization of trans people is, what, three or four years old?
00:46:03.000I mean, this issue came up in 2013 or something.
00:46:06.000So, to me, I have no expectation for anyone who, you know, this isn't a part of the world to, like, fully understand it, especially when, like you said, the rulebook does change so often.
00:46:16.000There are people in the trans community that take issue with the fact that I say the word transsexual because they think that it should be transgender because it should be more all-encompassing.
00:46:26.000There are people that say that I can't say the word tranny because that's a slur and it's equated with the N-word.
00:47:07.000And I said, okay, do most transgenders go through the sexual reassignment?
00:47:11.000She said, no, less than 12%, which is the high figure.
00:47:14.000She said, no, more of today's transgenders would have much more in common with yesterday's transvestites than actual what was determined transsexuals.
00:47:22.000And people got really mad when I tweeted that out.
00:47:25.000I'm not saying I'm right, but it does seem within the bounds of reason you.
00:47:32.000No, that was actually, I think, the spat that we had a year ago when you said that.
00:47:37.000And honestly, since then, I've really come to see your point because when I initially got angry at you for saying that, I think I was like a month or two into doing YouTube videos and I had not really dove into the trans community and how they really feel.
00:47:50.000I always assumed all trans people were just like me.
00:48:28.000And that's, I think, what's inflated the number.
00:48:31.000I'm sure you've seen, like, the number of transgenders in the United States has gone up so rapidly.
00:48:35.000Well, most of them are not super committed, and a lot of them just go back.
00:48:38.000Yeah, and what concerns me even more than that, because listen, people can call themselves whatever they want, you can label yourself as non-binary, transgender, transsexual, trans, aunt eater, I don't care.
00:48:49.000But the thing is, what concerns me is the amount of new cases of trans children.
00:48:55.000I think in London, there's like a four times increase in the amount of kids being referred to gender clinics in hopes of, you know, going on puberty blockers and hormones and I don't know if you know my stance on kids transitioning, but I am vehemently against it.
00:49:16.000But I also think children should not be in charge of making any serious decisions regarding their life's path, certainly not sexuality at that point in their life or gender.
00:49:52.000And, you know, the idea that, because this is the part that people don't like talking about, and I don't even see enough You know, conservative talking points about this, which should be, I think, the main focus if you're trying to argue against children transitioning.
00:50:05.000The fact that transitioning sterilizes you.
00:50:08.000Going on peer reblockers makes it so you can never have children.
00:50:56.000And so I came to a crossroads where I said I can live with this debilitating thing that's affecting my life the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep, or I can transition.
00:51:05.000And I would never take it back because my quality of life has increased more than I could ever say.
00:51:09.000But I would never endorse transition per se.
00:51:15.000And the reason I say that is because I think there's a specific small group of people in which transitioning will actually alleviate your dysphoria.
00:51:26.000I mean, no offense, Crowder, but if you suddenly picked up and transitioned, I don't think you'd be able to alleviate any dysphoria.
00:52:02.000But part of the problem with accepting transition as the end-all be-all is it becomes politically incorrect to speak against it, and then there's no funding or research into finding an actual cure.
00:52:21.000I did notice, you know, when I've watched your content and I've read your tweets where you readily admit that the suicide rate actually doesn't get It doesn't get much better.
00:52:29.000In some studies, it actually gets worse, the more comprehensive studies that come through.
00:52:58.000I'm an expert, so I can't sit here and say this will be the cure, we should look into this.
00:53:01.000But I would like there to be something you can take.
00:53:05.000I'm not advocating conversion therapy, which is More often than not, throughout history, it's proven to be more barbaric and less helpful than helpful.
00:53:13.000But the fact that as of now, in 2017, the only answer people have is transitioning when it's so faulty, I just wish there was something else.
00:53:22.000Because it's very hard to explain to someone who, this is not a part of their world, how debilitating gender dysphoria is.
00:53:28.000And I know that on the outside, it just sounds like, oh, someone's unhappy with their gender, get over it.
00:53:41.000And I had a debate recently with a non-binary gender queer feminist who said that I was advocating for trans genocide because I wanted there to be a cure.
00:53:57.000He's like, oh, you want there to be no more trans people?
00:54:00.000Actually, I don't want anyone else to suffer with this issue because it is an issue.
00:54:04.000Well, I mentioned that it's interesting that you say that because, first off, depending on the medical governing body, some of them have said, oh, no, it's not a mental disorder now.
00:54:11.000And we had a psychiatrist who said a lot of this is political.
00:54:18.000We've had several who have discussed and have to discuss off air because they're afraid of getting their license revoked if they say this is a psychiatric condition.
00:55:25.000So, I mean, do you understand that from that point of view?
00:55:29.000People who maybe disagree and say, like, listen, I don't know that transgenderism is a thing other than a mental disorder, and we want to help you, and sometimes that's a different route than the transgender community wants.
00:55:40.000Yeah, I will say sometimes, you know, the fact that it's a mental disorder can be weaponized, and I think that's shitty.
00:55:46.000I think that sometimes the conversation just ends with someone saying, oh, you're sick.
00:55:50.000It's like, okay, but would you say that to anyone else with any other kind of disorder?
00:55:54.000But I completely understand that the left tends to...
00:55:59.000Make moral arguments rather than logical ones in the sense that someone saying, hey, doesn't look like it's helping that many people by transitioning.
00:56:41.000Unlike people like Bill Nye, I'm willing to engage in a conversation.
00:56:45.000If I cite a study that the changes occur after cross-hormone sexual replacement therapy, I know there are studies that would contradict that, and then I know there are subsequent studies that contradict that.
00:56:55.000I don't have the time with every single article or video to say, well, in this study, there's this study, and go down the tree branch.
00:57:01.000But I'm willing to entertain the idea of a conversation, even if we disagree.
00:57:05.000The issue, and I think what's going to be bad for the trans community, is people like Bill Nye, first off, who No, and you know Some people view me as like an advocate of sorts, just on the other side.
00:57:26.000In fact, when I first started my channel, I spoke mostly about men's rights and I would speak about anti-white sentiments in the media and stuff like that.
00:57:36.000And I think it's just kind of a byproduct that a lot of people come to my channel and their only perception of trans people before me was the Riley Dennis's and the Milo Stewart's of the world and what Bill Nye says.
00:58:03.000He talks about the gay community and he talks about the HIV epidemic.
00:58:06.000You know, he had someone who was a gift giver and he's talked about this in the community.
00:58:10.000Yeah, he was sexually molested and HIV. And so he advocates for disclosure laws.
00:58:15.000And then we had, what's his name, Zach Ford from ThinkProgress, who advocates against disclosure laws.
00:58:20.000I feel like when you hear people, or I think, I shouldn't say feel like, I think people like you and myself can find a lot more common ground against someone who's saying, you know what, I think it should be a crime to ask people to disclose their AIDS with sexual partners.
00:58:33.000I think this is so radical, but they, again, the radical left...
00:58:41.000Yeah, and I think with most things, the truth is always somewhere in the middle.
00:58:46.000And especially with this issue, people tend to talk past each other.
00:58:50.000And it's frustrating because, like I said, I don't like the politicization of it.
00:58:53.000I would prefer if this stayed in the medical field entirely because, in my opinion, that's the only place that it can be discussed properly.
00:58:59.000And there are even issues over there when they discuss it because there's conflicting studies, like you said.
00:59:06.000I mean, we talked about the suicide rates of trans people.
00:59:10.000There are also a lot of studies that show that the suicide rate becomes less common with familial acceptance and having a supportive family, which I think is great.
00:59:18.000And so I think that's an important message to put out there.
00:59:21.000But what I think is also important to say is that...
00:59:24.000There should be no authoritarianism surrounding this topic.
00:59:27.000There shouldn't be laws that dictate how you should interact with people.
00:59:31.000I think that's crazy, and I think it's a bad look.
00:59:34.000Why would someone ever want to hire a trans person who instantly becomes a liability to their business if they slip up on a pronoun?
00:59:42.000That's why I say, even though on the surface it may seem like I would have more of an issue with you, It actually is them, because they're the ones that put me in this position in the first place.
00:59:52.000And a lot of them aren't willing to entertain a discussion.
00:59:55.000Even if you said, you know what, I'm going to come double barrels blazing, I have a problem with what you said, we'd still welcome you on the show.
01:00:01.000I mean, I'd like to think we have a pretty decent track record of doing that.
01:00:04.000It's just pretty hard to get people who disagree with us on the program.
01:00:08.000So it's rare that we get productive discussions.
01:00:37.000But from what I read, I think it was a male to female transsexual because they got, well, transsexual, trans person, because they got upset over being called male.
01:00:54.000Yeah, like, what better argument for the fact that, like, trans women are, like, inherently feminine and, like, female-brained to have these burly, like, dudes walking around threatening to kick people's ass.
01:02:39.000But then there's also the people on the other side who act as if they will only ever use the pronouns that are congruent with someone's biological sex.
01:02:48.000Because if you and I were to go to dinner just to hang out and you got there after me and I was already there and you told the person at the front of the restaurant, I'm here to see my friend and you said, the guy in the red shirt and I'm wearing the red shirt.
01:04:02.000And that's different because it's very clear, obviously, if you say you're transgender, like you said, someone would just say, didn't know, would say that woman in the black dress.
01:04:10.000Someone like this, it would be that, your guess, is as good as mine in the Nazi tank top.
01:08:08.000My point is, you look at Vox, and I think Vox, to their credit, more than most, they do a very good job of presenting their videos as being straight down the middle, unbiased, just effects.
01:08:21.000I don't know if it's their editing, I don't know if it's their voiceovers, or their little cartoon graphics that just pull on my heartstrings, but they do a good job.
01:08:27.000And then you start looking around, and you're like, I know...
01:08:52.000So anyone, anyone who we've called out or, I mean, not everyone we've ever made a joke about, like in the opening monologue, and we're like, I don't I don't like it.
01:08:59.000Like if Rob Schneider says, there is no fascist gigolo.
01:09:08.000The best way to shine a light on bullcrap like that is live debate, live conversation in real time.
01:09:16.000Anyone, including us, anyone can misrepresent what someone else is saying in a video or in an article.
01:09:22.000So, for example, we could have just said, hey, Vox makes an emotional argument and only shown that portion, when instead they could have made a really valid constitutional plea as to why there need to be sanctuary cities.
01:09:58.000Most people like him, but people down the middle think they're going to make a lot of friends often find themselves making enemies on both sides as well.
01:10:05.000Well, someone like Blair White probably has a lot of enemies, and that's why I wanted to be friendly, even though we disagree.
01:10:11.000And you can tweet me at S. Crowder, maybe tweet at NokiaJarred.
01:10:13.000I do try to do a job here of not changing my positions or values in the face of someone who might make it uncomfortable to express so.
01:10:21.000So it would be inconsistent to me to say, like, yeah, Blair, I'm totally on board and transgender.
01:10:25.000No, I still need to be clear, like, listen, I think you're a good person, but I also think that maybe a way to assist people who suffer from gender dysphoria is not the sex change.
01:10:36.000So we found common ground where we didn't even expect to.
01:10:38.000I thought that might have been a pushback point.
01:10:40.000Again, that's why the live conversation is so important.
01:10:43.000The internet can allow anybody to be an expert.
01:10:45.000You can take your eight-year-old son, give him a week, and say, dissect this monologue from Noam Chomsky, and they could make him look like an idiot.
01:10:55.000So please go watch the original Vox video.
01:10:57.000Please go watch the original Young Turks video that we talked about yesterday.
01:11:54.000Particularly if you're a Mug Club member and you support the show daily, you'll see that usually we're dissecting issues from CNN. Usually we're dissecting issues from sources that people see as unbiased.
01:12:04.000Vox does a good job with that, as Not Gay Jared said.
01:12:07.000Those are the ones you have to look out for.
01:12:29.000So, the Trigglypuffs, who are editor-in-chiefs of newspapers, the I'm a woman and you better respect it, who, by the way, doesn't even attend that campus.
01:12:49.000This is what's going to happen with Google.
01:12:50.000So you don't need to worry about what you're finding that's blatant.
01:12:53.000You're going, oh, that's coming from Mother Jones.
01:12:55.000But when you're searching, hold on a second.
01:12:57.000Google's not really necessarily showing you that deportations actually lead to less illegal immigration.
01:13:04.000Google may not be showing you that illegal immigration comes with higher crime.
01:13:08.000Google may not be showing you that ICE just needs a 48-hour retainer period to be able to come in and pick up illegal immigrants.
01:13:14.000Google may not be showing you that illegal immigrants are not likely to alert the local authorities regarding domestic disturbances as it is.
01:15:02.000But Snopes doesn't say, and by the way, they were being recirculated in mammoth numbers and passed out on the street after the Cologne attacks.
01:15:32.000And so I want you this week to, we've always said this, right?
01:15:35.000Set HuffPosts, all of the sites that you hate, all of the people who you don't like, watch them, listen to them, read them on a regular basis.
01:16:44.000Now, there are some people who, I will argue, very rarely, it really seems like this person is proactively lying because you can go back and check an inconsistency where they knew information that they withheld.
01:17:03.000We try to be straightforward about that.
01:17:05.000But for every biased piece of reporting, every biased piece of journalism, this is a comedy show, but out there, biased pieces of journalism that you see, for every one that you do see, there's 10, 15, 20 that you don't see.
01:17:18.000The New York Times up until recently did not think that they were biased.
01:17:22.000They genuinely didn't think that they were biased.
01:17:24.000Only 7% of reporters identify as Republican.
01:17:27.000I'm sure Walter Cronkite thought he actually was the gold standard of journalism, but he said he couldn't be a journalist and be a liberal.
01:17:33.000I'm sure Dan Rather maybe didn't even know that people were forging documents to try and indict Bush.
01:17:49.000And a lot of the time, many of these people think, well, I'm doing my job as a journalist.
01:17:55.000And they either make a judgment call to omit something, which is pivotal, or they don't even know that it's relevant to be included.
01:18:01.000So don't attribute the motive, but be aware that for everyone you spot, For every bottle cap you spot, get the metal detector.
01:18:10.000Be the creep with the zinc oxide on your nose and scan across that seashore because there are 20 more lurking beneath the surface.
01:18:17.000And one of the most valuable tools that you can have in your toolbox, particularly as you go into university right now, or if you're just someone who surfs the internet, is being able to decipher.
01:18:26.000The left is trying to teach classes to decipher fake news, and what do they try and teach you right now in school?
01:18:30.000They say, well, anything that's opinion is fake news.
