Jared is a stand-up comic, writer, and podcaster. He's been around a while, but he's never been funny. And now he's here with Gerald Morgan Jr. to talk about it all, including: 1. God made me bulletproof. 2. It's gay when you have something called Nicholas. 3. When it's called Mount Me, Dear Lover Man. 4. Kitty Syrah. 5. Dr. Jordan Peterson.
00:04:07.000In honor of Not Gay Jared's brass pendulous pair, I'll give a credit where credit's due.
00:04:12.000The Not Gay Jared shirt is on sale at LadderWithCraderShop.com.
00:04:16.000Speaking of which, producing with me in video studio, as always, is Jared, who is not gay.
00:04:19.000Follow him on Twitter at NotGayJarred.
00:04:20.000Me at S. Crater with your thoughts, your comments, your photoshops, as well as commenting in the YouTube section for people who are watching the stream or the archive.
00:04:27.000I fulfill my legal obligations, drawing conclusions.
00:08:16.000Speaking of unnecessary, the FDA is now cracking down on a local bakery for using love on its ingredient listings, citing that it is in fact...
00:08:33.000For cracking down on other manufacturers and tightening, like, once relaxed laws.
00:08:38.000For example, they, I don't know if you've read this story, they came to blows with Yoplait for their It's So Good campaign with the FDA releasing an official statement saying, that shit sucks.
00:08:49.000And the FDA also, they're cracking down on famous spokesperson Tony the Tiger was another story for his use of the catchphrase, they're great.
00:08:56.000Because after gathering hundreds of research papers into their meta-analysis, they released a statement claiming that tigers don't eat cereal.
00:09:10.000On a related note, by the way, also Los Angeles County PD has successfully brought charges to the Trix Rabbit after it was discovered that he had chained children to his basement for stealing his Trix.
00:11:23.000So CNN, their story is they're going to, people are now investigating the Russian-linked Facebook ads, and they're trying to find out exactly what was run and how it was so effective in targeting swing states at an election like Michigan and Wisconsin.
00:11:36.000Well, you know, with Antifa, we've done some investigative journalism from our end, and I know CNN won't do it, and so we have to do it All the time.
00:11:44.000Comedians, late night, but someone's got to do it.
00:11:46.000And we actually have some exclusive footage of the hacking process from Russia.
00:13:32.000So, College Humor just did a whole segment, and it's trending right at the front page of YouTube before anyone had actually been watching it.
00:13:39.000So, me thinks there's something going on there.
00:13:42.000Do you remember when College Humor was funny?
00:13:48.000And they go through, there's some valid arguments that he makes there.
00:13:51.000So you know what, let's set it up with the argument that college humor makes as to why the suburbs are racist and of course it transitions into a bigger macro argument.
00:14:00.000But let's go through this point by point because I'm sure someone sent it to you.
00:14:02.000The fact that so many suburbs are mostly white is no accident.
00:14:07.000It's the result of decades of racist federal policy that affect us to this day.
00:14:12.000In the 1930s, as part of the New Deal, FDR created loans programs to help Americans finance their homes.
00:14:19.000But to decide who got those loans, the government created color-coded maps in which green neighborhoods were good and red neighborhoods were bad.
00:14:28.000This practice became known as redlining.
00:14:32.000Because of these policies, if you lived in the green neighborhoods, it was super easy to get a home loan.
00:15:05.000Yes, redlining, but is it possible maybe those houses in the other neighborhoods were really good and it was nice, low-crime areas?
00:15:11.000Yeah, but then it's a chicken or the egg, because obviously black Americans didn't have access to the same wealth creation tools back then in the 1930s.
00:15:16.000But then you draw the lines, like, every house wasn't equal to begin with, anyway.
00:15:19.000No, it wasn't just exclusively because of, okay, black-white.
00:16:49.000Adam Conover, whoever's working on this program, obviously he's just a host.
00:16:52.000He probably doesn't know a whole lot about the topics he's discussing.
00:16:55.000They would have had to conduct research looking at all of the decades.
00:16:59.000They would have had to because of what they talk about later in the video.
00:17:02.000So he talks about people still being in poverty, but he ignores the fact that the African American middle class, their income rose by 40 percentage points from 1940 to 1970.
00:17:52.000...answer the question in a truthful, unbiased way?
00:17:55.000Since property values in the white neighborhoods are so much higher, their schools get way more money to spend on things like facilities, teachers, and supplies.
00:18:30.000What's funny is a lot of people brought this argument up when we were talking about Baltimore.
00:18:33.000Because in the national stage, they were saying, it's not their fault that they're burning down CVSs and Walgreens and killing their neighbors.
00:18:40.000It's not their fault that they're rioting.
00:18:41.000They don't have access to good schools, though.
00:18:45.000And then people are saying, actually, there's a higher per pupil spending in Baltimore than a national average, and even PolitiFact, I noticed when they were trying to debunk this, because I had this in my old show maps, their argument, they made our argument.
00:18:58.000Places like Baltimore, Newark, they have the highest per pupil spending.
00:20:12.000Highways that were built to make access to the suburbs easier for white Americans will often run right through black middle class neighborhoods, destroying them.
00:20:20.000Now, it almost seems like an asinine argument.
00:20:24.000It's almost so absurd that the only source she would have to validate her argument is her own in the New York Times.
00:20:30.000How angry do you think she was when Rachel Dolezal came out and she's like, oh, shit, you took my stick already before I can break the ceiling.
00:20:37.000I wasn't a real-life SciShow Bob, though.
00:20:54.000Nor funny, but the graphics are going up.
00:20:56.000It's increasing dramatically, the production budget.
00:20:58.000Same thing, if you notice, YouTube is promoting these, also not only college humor, but late night programs more heavily.
00:21:03.000And they're doing less comedy than ever.
00:21:05.000I would love someone out there to do a study.
00:21:08.000It'd be hard because comedy is subjective.
00:21:10.000But even just about jokes per minute, if you could show the amount of money going up, the amount of promotion going up from not only ABC, NBC, CBS, and not only places like CollegeHumor, but their support on YouTube and Facebook, and humor going down.
00:21:23.000Jimmy Kimmel's funny bits get less plays than Jared's farts.
00:21:39.000So, talking about redlining policies, Democrats have been against, and their teachers unions have been against school choice.
00:21:48.000Making it impossible for low-income students to attend different schools.
00:21:52.000The National Education Association has spent $23 million during the last election cycle just to ensure that low-income American kids can't go anywhere else.
00:22:06.000I've never once heard a valid argument.
00:22:08.000I know John Oliver went viral for it and YouTube featured it for six days.
00:22:11.000I've never heard a single valid argument against school choice.
00:22:15.000Again, if you look at John Oliver, they say, well, some of these schools are really, because it's for profit, some of them are corrupt and some of them are bad.
00:23:39.000How do you think his college papers would have gone without any kind of a closure, no disclosure statement at all, no wrap it up, this is how we resolve this, how we fix the problems, nothing.
00:23:46.000How do you think his open mic nights would have gone in comedy if it's like, listen guys, I know I've been telling jokes, but to get serious for a second, cancer's no laughing matter.
00:24:44.000This is basically a federally, a series, that's an umbrella term often used, a series of federally enforced housing bills, which, again, the opposite of red line, it forced lenders to provide home loans specifically to people who couldn't pay them back.
00:25:31.000Because there's a risk reward ratio, and they know, okay, there's a higher likelihood of you defaulting, of you not being able to finish your payments, and so they're going to charge you a higher interest rate so they make more money quickly. - That wasn't targeting specifically black people.
00:25:49.000What's so funny about that, the term predatory lending.
00:25:51.000Okay, let's walk through this because you can see films like The Big Short.
00:25:54.000It puts all the, and yeah, the banks had an incentive because of the government and they were corrupt and then the government bailed them out.
00:26:16.000Why would anyone do it unless they were doing so effectively at gunpoint from the government and then also they knew they were going to be bailed out?
00:26:25.000If someone ever says predatory lending in an argument, they're too stupid to have this conversation with.
00:27:59.000Number three, particularly if you have kids.
00:28:01.000According to the U.S. Census, the poverty rate for single parents with children in the United States in 2009 was 37.1%.
00:28:06.000The rate for married couples with children was 6.8%, which means that being raised in a married family reduced a child's probability of living in poverty by 82%.
00:28:42.000The single biggest indicator, if you are a child, it's a bigger factor than your school, even than your parents' income, as to whether you graduate high school, whether you go to college, whether you end up in prison, whether you end up committing felonies, whether you end up having marriages of your own and successful families, whether you end up being mentally well-adjusted.
00:29:00.000It is one of those things that no one wants to talk about.
00:29:02.000Kind of like we talk about the gun stat, but we don't talk about the suicide stat being two-thirds of that stat because liberals want to actually allow us to, of course, induce suicide.
00:31:54.000You thought that we should launch it even before we started, and my contention was I don't want to launch it until there's something there.
00:32:27.000You know you've been following the past few episodes.
00:32:29.000You know I'm doing the three types of terrible journalists, and we did one and two this week, so you know that number three is going to be tonight.
00:32:45.000Your first episode, you were talking about how important fatherhood was, dads.
00:32:52.000Yeah, I sort of did two intros that sort of laid out all my beliefs because there's so many lies about everyone on the right where liberals say this guy's a Nazi, anti-Semite, sexist, homophobe, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:33:03.000So I thought, before I even start the show, I'm going to do two free episodes, put them on YouTube, that just spell it all out.
00:33:09.000And of course, every time they hear your politics or my politics or even Milo's politics, you go, that guy seems pretty reasonable.
00:35:30.000When I was in Canada, I never once fired a handgun in my life.
00:35:33.000And as a matter of fact, I don't think I'd ever fired a gun in Canada because I didn't go hunting and ranges were not plentiful around Montreal.
00:36:43.000So, whereas the United States fought one of the bloodiest wars in modern history to overthrow the throne, to become their own sovereign nation, Canada kissed the ring.
00:36:53.000And that's an important differentiation.
00:36:54.000That's how they procured their freedom, and that will determine the course of the country.
00:36:59.000And I think a lot of Canadians don't understand that.
00:37:02.000It's also a type of person, you know, someone who doesn't respect freedom and someone who doesn't.
00:37:07.000I remember saying to David Cross before I got into baseball, which I'm also into in a big way, I said, why do you hate the Yankees so much?
00:37:14.000It's just transient millionaires sticking a logo on a shirt.
00:37:51.000If you've ever owned a gun, you won't believe the gun show loophole.
00:37:55.000You know there are universal background checks if you've ever purchased a gun, unless you're getting a Saturday night special, in the back of a Cadillac.
00:40:21.000As someone who's obviously been a comedian for a long time, at what point, when you look at Kimmel, Kimmel, Conan, Samantha Bee, Trevor Noah, Seth Meyers, Stephen, every single one, they've all been in the same party.
00:40:32.000They all vote for the exact same candidate, endorse the same candidate, as Owen Benjamin pointed out.
00:40:36.000At what point does it change from separating the art from the artist, like Sean Penn...
00:41:47.000Mike Birbiglia was the person in charge of staffing, was HR, and she didn't get the job because she implied that the rape rate went down at Syracuse once he left because they were both alumni.
00:43:09.000I remember in Friends, Jennifer, that was a big thing, Jennifer Aniston just decided she was going to have a baby and no dad, and that changed a young generation of women because it made it seem virtuous.
00:43:17.000They do it every six or seven years, and now Mindy Kaling is that, and she's totally ruined her.
00:43:22.000Or even David Cross, I have buddies with him, grew up loving his comedy.
00:44:16.000I hate to say it, but when you look at, was it Amber, whatever her name is, she was accusing James Woods of, not even sexual harassment, a come on to her.
00:44:25.000And by the way, no verification whatsoever.
00:44:28.000She wrote a piece in the New York Times saying, I'm tired of not being believed.
00:44:31.000How about you provide some kind of evidence?
00:44:33.000And she only did that when James Woods came out as conservative.
00:44:35.000Well, I don't know if you saw, David Cross said, you know, two years ago, this 19-year-old girl let me finger-bang her in the back of a, behind a dumpster at a Hoobastank concert.
00:44:43.000And I'm sitting there going like, okay, so clearly she doesn't find it icky for older guys to hit on her.
00:45:01.000I mean, we're being juvenile in a way.
00:45:03.000We should be adult enough to go, that's the art, who cares what the artist does, but I'm sorry, I'm not that mature.
00:45:10.000And when a musician or an actor or a comedian says something stupid about guns or Trump, which is basically 100% of them, it just rules out that comedy for me.
00:45:31.000I was just watching Ozarks with Jason Bateman and he gets a young girl to rob a strip club and then offers her 10% of whatever she gets out of the safe.
00:46:42.000Yeah, you know, that makes a lot of sense.
00:46:44.000I mean, economically, the flat tax still has higher income earners paying more in total taxes, but the percentage remains unchanged, which seemingly would be a more fair means of distribution, not to mention the policies affect monetary inflation.
00:48:37.000You didn't come out nearly as badly as you might have.
00:48:40.000Well, you know, the truth is we need to take it again off air because there are some things that I can't answer honestly that would be self-aggrandizing.
00:48:48.000It's like, oh, I think I'm good at this, but I'm never going to say that in front of other people because that would be the narcissist.
00:49:30.000Obviously, you know what's happened in Vegas and the States.
00:49:33.000And we were talking about this on a couple of episodes this week where Jimmy Kimmel was saying no one can ever understand why someone would shoot somebody else or commit this act.
00:49:43.000Now, I know you talked with Jordan, Jordan, Jordan Peterson spoke with Joe Rogan at length about Hitler and kind of about understanding, not justifying his actions at all, but understanding he's not necessarily this sort of monster you want to put off into a box, understanding motivation.
00:50:00.000But contrasting that with sort of situational ethics and the idea of moral absolutes, what's your state?
00:50:05.000Do you believe evil exists and that some people are able to process that and it changes their whole starting off point in dealing with problems?
00:50:13.000I think that if you don't believe that evil exists, that you're either naive or willfully blind.
00:50:20.000You can tell those who doubt that evil exists to go read about Unit 731.
00:50:27.000It was a Japanese unit that operated in China, man.
00:50:30.000You read about Unit 731 and then you have a good discussion about whether or not evil exists.
00:50:36.000I mean, things were so atrocious there that the Nazis were the good guys.
00:50:43.000And I would warn people against reading about it because it's so terrible that it's enough to burn itself into your memory in a traumatic way forever.
00:50:53.000Yeah, well, you know what's interesting about that?
00:50:54.000Because since we're talking about evil, I do believe that today's left, certainly progressives, cannot actually acknowledge evil.
00:51:02.000Case in point, when it comes to actually, this was what you're talking about, my friend Lee Dorn had a YouTube channel called How the World Works.
00:51:07.000This guy is a U of M law grad, brilliant guy, super high IQ, an actual genius.
00:51:13.000And he did a video, and it was on YouTube, and it was called...
00:51:17.000Japan, they weren't the victims in World War II. And he was specifically discussing the encroachment in China and some of the acts of barbarism committed on behalf of Japan.
00:51:26.000Now, no profanity, no graphic imagery.
00:51:28.000YouTube removed this video as hate speech.
00:51:34.000So again, if you understand that evil exists, you wouldn't have a problem with a video out there explaining the historical accounts of this.
00:51:41.000YouTube saw it just as offensive because it was negative.
00:51:47.000If you go, hold on a second, in order to prevent evil moving forward, we need to talk about it.
00:51:51.000But I don't think people who work at YouTube understand that evil exists in that capacity.
00:51:55.000Well, people who don't believe that evil exists, of course, they also don't believe that good exists, so that's a big problem.
00:52:01.000But they also think that people are purely determined, let's say, by their social circumstances, you know, and so that if someone commits a highness act of some form, then you can always find a causal reason for that, generally as a consequence of their, let's say,
00:52:16.000oppressed status or their traumatic upbringing Or such things, discounting entirely the fact that many, many people have traumatic upbringings without I've tried to define
00:52:47.000evil, you know, and I think the best definition is evil is the commission of harm for the sake of the harm.
00:52:53.000It's like an aesthetic act, and I think the Las Vegas killing really falls into that category.
00:53:11.000And the idea that these things are associated with mental illness is actually a very weak argument, first of all, because the vast majority of mentally ill people are not violent.
00:53:20.000And usually when they are, it's the consequence of some, like a delusion.
00:53:25.000So they don't actually know what they're doing, and there's absolutely no evidence that this shooter didn't know what he was doing.
00:53:31.000There's every bit of evidence that he did.
00:53:34.000And the Columbine shooters were obviously not mentally ill by any standard class, standard definition.
00:53:39.000And it also casts a dim light on the moral status of mentally ill people.
00:53:46.000Drunk people are a lot more dangerous than mentally ill people, statistically speaking, by a huge margin.
00:53:54.000You know, you can define an act like that which occurred in Las Vegas as mentally ill, but that's the only way you can make a causal argument if you actually define it that way.
00:54:05.000No, that guy had a deep, like these mass shooters, I think the story of Cain and Abel is the best description of the psychology behind these sorts of mass shootings.
00:54:17.000People develop an intense resentment for being, and there are reasons for that, you know, because human experience is rife with tragedy and catastrophe, and everybody has a hard time of it at some point, and of course everyone gets sick and everyone dies and has the people they love die, and life is very, very hard, and it's very easy to become embittered by that, and from bitterness to revenge is a short step, and from revenge to homicide or genocide is...
00:54:46.000Is another couple of steps that people can easily take.
00:54:50.000Well, I think genocide is just homicide with more accessibility to tools, really, if you think about it.
00:54:56.000It's at that point, you've already crossed over.
00:54:58.000I know, hold on a second, not getting a question for you.
00:55:00.000It seems, I'm thinking out loud a little bit here, but it would seem the liberals have a okay, they have a grasp on identifying the outcome of evil as evil.
00:55:09.000They have a hard time getting a hold of it.
00:55:11.000So, you know, they would say that the denial of health care to poor people, that is evil.
00:55:16.000It's the outcome of things, but they have a hard time grasping that the act itself can be evil, that people can be evil.
00:55:22.000I think it's the personal responsibility of evil.
00:55:28.000I think the farther you are to the left, the more likely that is to characterize the way that you're thinking.
00:55:34.000And I think that goes along with a general downplaying of individual human responsibility, which I think is one of the things that's very dangerous about the radical left.
00:55:55.000Is he is very manic and he gets very sad.
00:55:59.000He's very hard on himself and he shuts down.
00:56:01.000He'll lock himself in a room and he won't want to talk to people.
00:56:05.000This was actually, it was Triggered by a very traumatic event where a young man died in his arms.
00:56:11.000So he is not someone who would ever be dangerous.
00:56:13.000And this is not someone who should forego his basic human right to self-preservation because someone else throws all acts of evil under this umbrella term of mental illness.
00:56:21.000And then there are so many varying degrees of mental illness.
00:56:23.000It's a really important point that I think that you bring up.
00:56:25.000You can speak to, obviously, more professionally than someone like I can.
00:56:30.000People, for some reason, they're very anti-generalization until it comes to the widest umbrella term that I can think of that we use now, mental illness.
00:56:38.000If I take a Xanax to sleep, is that mental illness?
00:56:41.000I think it's liberals trying to get a grip on using policy to weed out evil.
00:56:45.000And you're never going to be able to find a policy that fully weeds out the act of evil, the outcome of evil.
00:57:20.000Use policy to make life sufficiently benevolent so that there would never be any reason for resentment and hatred and for the degeneration down the path that that can lead you to is naive beyond belief.
00:57:34.000I've known a lot of wealthy people in my life, and some of them far wealthier than anyone with any sense would like to be, because it actually turns out to bring with it a tremendous amount of responsibility.
00:57:45.000But they're by no means protected against most of the horror of life.
00:57:54.000I mean, it's nice to have access to top-rate medical care, and I'm not downplaying that, obviously.
00:57:59.000But they get divorced, and they have terrible trouble with their children, and the money sometimes exacerbates that rather than preventing it.
00:58:07.000And, you know, the literature on lottery winners is pretty clear, is that most of them are less happy a year after they win the lottery than they were before they won it.
00:58:18.000And so there is this deep-rooted idea that Dostoevsky criticized that has to do with the really rampant materialism of the left, that if you just gave people all the material resources they could want or need, that all of a sudden people would be peaceful and loving and kind. that all of a sudden people would be peaceful and And I just don't think that that...
00:58:45.000I've always maintained that position, that the left is the party, the ideology, certainly, today's regressive left, of covetousness, of pre-transition, pre-redemption Ebenezer Scrooge.
00:58:57.000And then if you look at Ebenezer Scrooge, actually it's like the fifth gospel.
00:59:00.000He becomes a generous conservative at the end of that tale.
00:59:48.000This guy had the American black upbringing, and they go, well, uh-huh, we don't want to talk about that because, look, the schools don't have enough money.
01:00:11.000So if you're a child abuser, there's a much higher chance than average that you were abused as a child.
01:00:20.000So it's easy to say that child abuse causes child abuse, except Most people who are abused as children don't grow up to abuse their children.
01:00:30.000So the causal track only runs if you look at the actual abusers backwards, not if you look at the entire population of abusers.
01:00:38.000And you can figure that out pretty quickly because if everyone who was abused abused their children, then in two or three generations, every single child would be abused because it would spread exponentially.
01:00:50.000And so actually what happens is that despite or sometimes even because of privation, people become good people.
01:00:57.000And that's another thing that seems to be completely off the table for the radical left is the idea that deprivation and hardship can actually make you more compassionate and generous rather than less.
01:01:08.000And that's very common, in fact, that not always, obviously, and it depends on the degree of privation and all of that.
01:01:14.000But it isn't necessarily that bad times make for worse people.
01:01:19.000And that's actually, by definition, a bad argument.
01:01:22.000If you look at the Socratic method, we're talking about this with Stefan Molyneux.
01:01:24.000It's either a false premise or the failure to show that your conclusion actually correlates to that.
01:01:29.000It reminds me of the story you talked about this morning about the wrestler or the fighter who didn't want to give a speech after his fight.
01:01:33.000And it's like, well, think about all the fighters who did.
01:01:36.000He said, well, it was a really emotional time because he got his ass kicked, but he ran out and refused.
01:01:42.000This is a professional sport, and they always honor their opponent with a concession speech.
01:01:48.000I could go on and talk about this for days, obviously, but I think it's good that we got into the macro here about good and evil, and this is why it's important for people out there.
01:01:55.000The self-authoring program, because Dr.
01:01:59.000We're talking about personal responsibility, and we don't try and assist you, the viewer, with providing tools where you can actually improve your own circumstance.
01:02:22.000Well, the book is still in pre-order state, so it'll be coming out in January, I think it's January 23rd.
01:02:29.000It's doing quite well on Amazon, despite that, so I'm pretty happy about that, and I hope it lives up to people's apparent expectations.
01:02:37.000It's as good as I could make it with repeated rewrites and some good editing help and all of that.
01:02:42.000And so it basically lists a sequence of rules, some of which I had posted on Quora under Things Everybody Should Know, essentially, which became a very popular Quora answer.
01:02:59.000Provide people with a rationale for living according to a disciplined code, let's say, and an explanation of why that not only makes you less anxious because it reduces uncertainty, but why it puts more hope into your life because...
01:03:16.000Because responsibility, even though it can be onerous, is also what gives you purpose and meaning.
01:04:16.000But I was saying, because of his bravery, The Not Gay Jazz shirt in the store, a lot of Wisconsin shop.com, although you do see, is on sale this week in honor of him infiltrating Antifa.
01:04:45.000We appreciate so many people, by the way, who've subscribed for Mug Club during what we were doing.
01:04:48.000I know we've moved on Irma and all these other disasters, but Harvey Relief, I know we said we'd get you those numbers.
01:04:52.000We're still waiting from the Prepare with Crowder food kit people, but we do know that the number of...
01:04:58.000Dollars, I guess, overall, because some of it was sent in food, is well north of $50,000 you guys helped with for Harvey Relief just through Mug Club subscribers alone.
01:05:09.000So once we figure out the food kit, so it could be north of $100,000.
01:05:40.000This is what allows the free content to exist on YouTube, and now they're going to try and throttle us more.
01:05:44.000If you see Kimmel right now, unless YouTube decides to send, our video is right underneath it.
01:05:49.000And being able to fight back, giving you a late-night alternative, a place where you can actually go and watch jokes, I hope there's some relief there for you.
01:05:57.000There is no other alternative in late night right now.
01:06:00.000There could be half a dozen conservatives in late night, and we still would be about a third of the overall hosts if you look at the left when you include all their networks.
01:06:11.000You see Gavin McGinnis is with us now at CRTV. The more people who join, the more we can add to that lineup and the more content we can create.
01:06:18.000By the way, Owen Benjamin is going to be here all of next week.
01:08:44.000I think a lot of people think because, you know, listen, obviously sometimes there are sort of conspiracy theories that float around on YouTube and they've been falsely attributed to people.
01:08:53.000They've been falsely attributed to us, to you.
01:08:54.000If people go watch this video, it is incredibly even-handed.
01:08:58.000My question is, obviously we can tell that you're not from around these parts by your voice.
01:09:03.000Where did you learn to be so informed, to be so proficient in dealing with the gun issue?
01:09:12.000It's probably through years of the argument that, you know, we had the gun ban in the UK. Obviously, we had no any other level of gun crime because we don't have a gun culture at all.
01:09:21.000But when they did institute the gun ban in the UK, the full handgun ban, which I believe was back in 1996, there was no drop in gun crime.
01:09:31.000I believe that's similar to what happened in Australia.
01:09:33.000So it was based on that premise, based on the fact that we've still got violent crime through the roof in the UK, which has risen again over the past 12 months.
01:09:42.000In fact, there was a funny tweet, which I retweeted today, where they had one of these knife hand-ins in my old hometown of Sheffield.
01:09:50.000And they were like, they were celebrating the fact that all these people had handed in these dangerous bladed weapons.
01:09:55.000One of them was literally a potato peeler.
01:09:58.000And like the rest of them were two different kitchen set knives.
01:10:30.000I mean, there is a thing about the bonfire, which the NRA literally about an hour ago said there, or indicated they're probably going to cave on.
01:10:37.000So that, I don't know how you feel about that.
01:11:47.000And I think there's a big gap between people who have some level of notoriety.
01:11:51.000I certainly wouldn't say I'm famous, but people know who you are.
01:11:54.000People often come up and want to take pictures.
01:11:57.000I don't have a full-on armed security detail.
01:12:00.000People who get these network deals, despite no viewership, they have the money, and they do have armed security deals, so it's like hiring a personal chef.
01:12:11.000This person may not know a knife from a potato peeler, but because they have a chef do it for them, whereas if you're at the point that you're cooking yourself, you understand what's required.
01:12:22.000And you were talking about the NRA. I will say this.
01:12:24.000With the bump fire stocks, a lot of people don't know, it's basically something that helps with a technique, a bump fire stock, using the recoil to act like a full automatic.
01:12:33.000And that's where we were when we heard the gunshots initially.
01:12:35.000It sounds to me when I first heard it, I'm like, that doesn't sound like an automatic.
01:13:09.000But what does bother me about the NRA is situations like this where people at the NRA know better, but they know, oh, this is something we have to do in the public eye.
01:13:18.000And then sometimes they'll actually stomp on other Second Amendment organizations who are actually doing the Lord's work.
01:13:24.000Sometimes they'll stomp on Second Amendment businesses like they've done with the USCCA and firearm insurance when they're supposed to be a nonprofit.
01:13:44.000What would someone like your view be on this as far as, when they say sensible gun control, what do you think would be an appropriate middle ground to someone from the UK who's seen the bloodshed over there?
01:14:37.000Literally about an hour ago, YouTube came out and said, we're going to change our algorithm to bury these conspiracy videos, okay, and raise the profile of mainstream news channels and their channels on YouTube.
01:14:50.000So, of course, once again, who are they going to punish?
01:14:52.000Who's going to get punished through that?
01:14:54.000Obviously, it's going to be you, Steve, and it's going to be me.
01:14:56.000And it's because all these Idiots come out, as you mentioned, immediately after the attack and say, multiple shooters, multiple shooters.
01:15:09.000So because of that, they're now going to come after us even more with the censorship.
01:15:13.000And we can get into that because Stephen...
01:15:15.000I don't know if you've got DMs open, but it's been an uphill battle over the past few days with this multiple shooter thing.
01:15:22.000People will not let it go despite the fact that it's been debunked.
01:15:26.000And now that's actually causing the Guardian to write headlines like the victims are horrified by this and YouTube has come out and said, right, we're going to crack down.
01:15:33.000Well, and that's the problem with the whole kind of alt-right Trump era where people are just like, oh, you know, you just got to fight back any way you can.
01:15:39.000I go, hold on a second, hold on a second, hold on a second.
01:16:43.000They've analyzed his computers, his cell phones.
01:16:45.000They found absolutely nothing because we know now he potentially targeted Lollapalooza and this other festival, which were not, you know, right-wing country music festivals.
01:16:55.000But people heard, like, bullets in different places and stuff, and that's really accurate when it's picked up by a cell phone mic, isn't it?
01:17:06.000He was turning round and firing inside the hotel room at the door because the security guard interrupted him.
01:17:13.000So that's why it was a harsh, loud sound and then a muffled sound that sounded far away because he was firing inside the hotel room.
01:17:20.000The other thing, oh, there's a flashing light on the fourth floor.
01:17:23.000There must have been another gunman on the fourth floor.
01:17:26.000No, that flashing light was there before.
01:17:28.000It was there during the concert before the shooting.
01:17:31.000It gets debunked, but there's so much momentum that once you actually address it, videos have got like three, four million views, and they're off to the races.
01:17:41.000Him at the women's march with the pussy hat.
01:17:58.000Listen, the image they use on the Guardian article that says the Vegas victims are horrified by this is literally the young girl on her phone after Sandy Hook, after this other shooting, after the Las Vegas massacre.
01:18:10.000Oh look, why is the same girl at every mass shooting event?
01:18:15.000But that's their big proof for how we need to crack down on these dangerous conspiracy theories, and it's all going to blow back on us, as it has done in the recent past.
01:18:24.000Yeah, and I remember last time you were on the program, and someone who I used to be friends with was really upset.
01:18:29.000Why would you have that conspiracy theory peddler?
01:18:31.000I said, well, hold on, which conspiracies?
01:18:33.000And he named ones that you had nothing to do with.
01:18:36.000And unfortunately, people out there who haven't actually, they've just become sort of more so rabble-rousing alt-righters with this election.
01:19:16.000The final point on this Las Vegas thing, there are some questions that are still unanswered.
01:19:22.000There was that eyewitness who said she was being told by a woman who was running around at the front of the crowd saying, you're going to die tonight.
01:19:28.000They're chasing another suspect who's apparently a woman.
01:19:56.000I think you should apply the same amount of critical thought to a meme that's passed around on Facebook that even though it might appeal to your political views as you do with the mainstream media, because guess what?
01:20:04.000All of the above are correct and no one is doing their job properly as it relates to Antifa, we saw, or as it relates to this shooting.
01:20:11.000Please go check it out on YouTube, Prison Planet, on Twitter, Infowars.com.
01:22:57.000So I was thinking, liberals really have a problem addressing evil and the cause of things, and so much so that they always seem to be tackling the problem five steps, six steps removed from where the origin began.
01:23:09.000Instead of tackling things like saying, hey, maybe we should be more pro-family, maybe we should be pro-moms and dads involved with their kids and spending more time with their kids so they're not doing six hours of homework like we were talking about you earlier in Canada.
01:23:21.000Instead of talking about that so that you can avoid the mass shooter kid at 18 who's gone off crazy because he has no family life, no We don't know if that's the case here.
01:24:02.000For example, you couldn't, describing it as the method, this is why I talk about the Socratic method so importantly, let's describe sort of the modern progressive method.
01:24:49.000The modern progressive method requires that you only look at the symptom, don't look at the cause, particularly if it's offensive, and that you suppress information that doesn't fit with that.
01:24:59.000And that really is a dangerous place to be.
01:25:01.000And it's the big reason why they're not consistent.
01:28:12.000No one's keeping us in the dark when, before the bodies are cold, Hillary Clinton is implying, Tim Kaine and Hillary Clinton are implying that a silencer is what led to the Las Vegas mass shooting.
01:28:44.000Okay, when they talk about higher taxes, they talk about basic universal income, which of course is always something that will be lower than the poverty line, because once you establish a basic universal income, the poverty line, and then they're poor and they need more.
01:28:54.000So the government talks about this inflated tax, about taking money from people, and of course it includes the middle class.
01:29:01.000Forrest Griffin just challenged me on Twitter something from a two-year-old tweet or a tweet in 2016 saying, yeah, if you're going to be wrong, be louder.
01:29:10.000So Forrest Griffin, listen, you can make that walk into the arena.
01:30:06.000If you are telling people, as you did, a mandatory buyback, if you are confiscating guns, people say, do this, this is the law, and if you don't obey the law, again, ask why.
01:30:35.000They want the government to have guns.
01:30:37.000And so when you go along this trail and you never actually look at the root cause, you're only trying to patch up these symptoms, and you're ignoring the giant cancerous growth beneath the surface.
01:30:52.000If you have no worldview as the progressive left, they are completely devoid of a moral compass or worldview, you would have a society where you and I Don't get to keep our own money, where you and I don't get to protect ourselves, have no right to guns, but the government has all of it.
