On this week's episode of Hard Choicetour, the boys are joined by comedian Daniel Cormier to discuss the upcoming Spooktacular at the University of Michigan Power Center, President Trump's meeting with Kanye West, and much, much more.
00:04:30.000Possibly the best quote ever that we've had in this show.
00:04:32.000The rap star launched into a monologue touching on mental health, the prison system, and improving life for African Americans in inner cities.
00:04:39.000It really was a breakdown if you watched the monologue.
00:08:35.000So let me explain this to you, because the story might seem a little tough.
00:08:38.000The City Council actually expanded its definition of an arcade device, which are already barred from operating within 1,500 feet of churches, schools, daycares, parks, residential neighborhoods.
00:13:21.000So actually, here's a look at one of the coming out features, their emoji, which makes sense.
00:13:25.000But Facebook went a step further in an ill-advised spirit of balance, unfortunately, simultaneously unveiling the drag them behind a truck feature, which was not received very well.
00:14:35.000This is why black people don't become Republican.
00:14:37.000It's not because of the ideas, it's because people like you are like, hey, listen, Hodge twins, I'm so glad to see some black twins tell the truth for once.
00:14:45.000We're going to go have a beer after this and you're not invited.
00:14:47.000I mean that in a good way, not unless you want them vomiting in the kitchen sink.
00:14:50.000You're going to have a 40, is what you want to say.
00:15:00.000Yeah, we were trying to get a 40 at one point, this was in Missouri anyways, and the clerk said, no, they're banned because people would take them, drink them, and then break them and stab the next guy for the rest of his 40.
00:16:09.000The boy's parents say he was forced to endure the loss of his liberty and other damages until several of the girls reluctantly admitted that their accusations were false.
00:16:16.000They're now suing the girls and the school district.
00:16:19.000And this is the problem with the Me Too movement.
00:16:21.000This is what we've been talking about this entire time, when people say, you're a guy, you have nothing to fear.
00:16:25.000There is plenty to fear because of exactly this.
00:16:28.000And if the girls hadn't admitted it, they probably wouldn't have caught them.
00:16:32.000It's become the modern day equivalent of lynching.
00:16:35.000And in some cases, it's just an actual one.
00:18:35.000I was trying, I was trying to exhibit self-control at that period of my life because it was difficult and it's just and then she was just like Okay, Rosario Dawson, look alike, I hate this.
00:19:09.000So I remember I went she went home with me with I went home with her family I know this is going to be taking I went home her mom was there at that point dropping her off and her sisters and her dad and she said this is a movie that we saw and her mom said isn't that the movie was she didn't She didn't have at all a black accent.
00:21:24.000They look like real bad actresses to me.
00:21:28.000So good news I think here is that I think I hope this and I wonder what you guys think what it you know the GOP hopefully learned that it's it's futile it's it's futile to try and appease Krakow that's what I've been talking about a lot I don't agree with this idea of unity of kumbaya of holding hands with people who you can't a good example when people talk about Kavanaugh Some people said he should step down.
00:21:47.000He should step down, I've confirmed, because maybe it could be a great time for healing.
00:21:52.000Would you want to heal with the person who just accused you of rape?
00:21:55.000Let alone the person who accused you of gang rape?
00:21:58.000Or the person who sent white powder to your office?
00:21:59.000Where do you find common ground there?
00:22:01.000That's why I've drawn a line between rape and gang rape.
00:22:46.000Hopefully they don't appease, and if you're going to be unified, be unified in politically resisting the left.
00:22:51.000Yeah, how can you possibly unify with somebody who has no intention of compromising with you whatsoever?
00:22:57.000The GOP, I think what Lindsey Graham has tapped into, is that people get frustrated and they want you to stand for principle and show some balls.
00:23:03.000And he did, and people are like, finally!
00:23:04.000Well, you know, even removing this idea of standing for principle, let's even remove that idea, they just want a man to show some balls.
00:23:09.000Not in a park, not with a trench coat, they want you to show the skill.
00:23:13.000The skill of exhibiting ball-like behavior.
00:23:16.000I'm glad you delineated between the two, because I was about to head out.
00:26:33.000He used her statement for a 180, saying, no, this is, and he defines the new Democratic Party.
00:26:38.000He wants you to know, don't go high, kick them harder, but not above shin height, because I can't kick that high, because I haven't done my, I haven't done my yoga.
00:27:21.000He said some stupid crap, but there is a huge difference between saying get him out of here at a protester, at a rally, on your campaign trail, and the current democratic leadership coordinating calls for harassment.
00:27:33.000endorsement against Republicans across the board in public spaces.
00:27:37.000Before we move on, by the way, hit the notification bell because apparently subscriptions don't
00:29:33.000They just grab an old man, pull him out of the, do you have any idea what would happen if two white guys pulled an old black woman or man out of a car and beat him up?
00:30:56.000I can't believe she said that about mob.
00:30:57.000What's the offensive thing about a mob?
00:31:00.000Again, they don't want to say because now they're trying to say... Remember when they tried to say you're calling Barack Obama a socialist because he can't use the n-word?
00:31:06.000Now they're saying, well, you're calling them the m-word because... Really?
00:31:39.000And this is really what bothers me, and I've seen some people on the right, and I don't want to... I never want to call anybody out who I think can do some good and change some minds, but there have been some people who folks have been disappointed in.
00:31:53.000But I have always disagreed with this idea of common You've heard me say this, people come on the show, we'll match intensity.
00:31:58.000I believe in being civil with people, but I don't believe in finding agreement on a lie.
00:32:03.000And we're at the point, I can have no unity with these people?
00:32:07.000What common ground are we going to have?
00:32:08.000And by the way, here's something more important, whether you feel that way or not, some people are like, well, I want to find common ground.
00:32:35.000And we've seen this with Change My Mind.
00:32:37.000We've seen it where we've gone out, we've had someone sit down, we've had a conversation, and everyone else goes, oh, OK.
00:32:42.000But when one person sits down and starts yelling, you don't know who Brett Kavanaugh is, vagina, whatever it is, then all of a sudden, everyone starts yelling, yeah, get off this campus.
00:32:51.000And you're like, oh my gosh, I'm going to get stabbed by someone who doesn't even know how to handle a knife.
00:33:43.000Because the fringe that you see endorsed by Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, Maxine Waters, they certainly haven't been disavowed by anyone.
00:33:51.000And by the way, no Republicans, and I'm not a Republican, but when we're talking about Republicans and Democrats here, no Republicans have done this.
00:34:00.000No conservatives are out there doing this.
00:34:06.000I've been blocking this corner here for about four hours.
00:34:11.000It's like punching in the sheep dog and the sheep in that Bugs Bunny.
00:34:17.000Punch in, beat an innocent protester, hope it's not Jocko driving up in the car.
00:34:22.000It is unbelievable to me, and I don't think there's anything... I don't think there's anything virtuous about finding common ground with them, I don't think there's anything practical about trying to find common ground with these people, and I don't think there's anything productive in trying to feign common ground with these people when you have every single member of the DNC who's in a position of authority endorsing them.
00:34:42.000When you try to say, well, hold on a second, you're endorsing the mob, they go, We're starting to throw the M-word around a little flippantly here.
00:37:17.000It's been, it's been the rule of the day since, I mean, it's hard to sell this on being Trump's fault when it was happening when Obama was president as well.
00:38:06.000Speaking of the chance, by the way, can we maybe hit the refresh button on those every 50 years or so?
00:38:12.000Like, this is supposed to be the party of elevated intellectuals, and the best they can come up with for the better part of a century is hey, hey and ho, ho.
00:39:36.000Cinema was leading here in Arizona, Kirsten Cinema was leading, and now she's behind by six after throwing in with the Kavanaugh guys.
00:39:45.000So it's not exactly, they're trying to sell this sort of Lord of the Rings fantasy of the blue wave, but here's the thing about the internet, it never forgets.
00:39:53.000And I was going back, like just out of curiosity, go back and read almost any article from before Donald Trump became president and the Democrats were absolutely apoplectic at the prospect of the 2018 midterms.
00:44:41.000We're still trying to wonder if Mitch McConnell has like, if it's an, if he has no chin or if it's an optical illusion where he has endless chins, you know?
00:44:48.000But it's now I'm wondering this about their balls.
00:44:51.000I wonder what, do you think it's because Here's my read on it, okay?
00:45:10.000Yeah, I think the reason it blew up on him was, you know, over a 48-hour period, we basically went from, he may have possibly held a girl down at a party 35 years ago, to, he was the leader of a high school rape cult and he savaged this woman in full view over family and friends.
00:45:44.000I really, you know, I don't know where this came from.
00:45:47.000And I just think they probably took this really personally.
00:45:49.000You know, there were sort of, it's kind of like the Patriot, where they're starting to pick off generals and they're getting really like...
00:45:55.000Well, these are not the rules of engagement.
00:45:58.000We must stand front line, center to center, and fight each other, offering no territorial advantage.
00:46:03.000I'm like, well, I don't know why you did war like that.
00:46:05.000So I actually was a fan of the guerrilla warfare.
00:46:07.000But it seems at this point, like, the Republicans are going, really?
00:46:10.000You're just not even going to care that it's just completely fake?
00:46:14.000Like, you're having Swetnick come out saying he's a gang rapist?
00:47:25.000Here's a guy beating up an old man in Portland.
00:47:28.000No, like my read on it is if you look at the data in terms of how many seats are actually up and how much like here's the thing if everything goes right for the Democrats They actually get to keep the amount of influence they have now.
00:48:58.000Alright, that is TheRayJaholic on YouTube, which is different from your Twitter, at RayZorFist with a zero, because you're breaking all the rules when it comes to branding.
00:49:07.000You want to ensure that people do not find you.
00:49:09.000When can people look for this video that you have, though, on the Blue Wave?
00:49:11.000Because your insight is always apparent.
00:49:22.000Well, listen, if you want to come back and talk about it, you're much more interested, funny enough, in... I think people don't understand this about you, because, you know, you look like a crazy person.
00:50:51.000And what allows us to really actually kind of build a platform for people so that they can come out of the closet and not feel as though they're stepping into the abyss is Mug Club.
00:50:59.000Because we know you've been completely demonetized from YouTube.
00:56:30.000I shouldn't say that I don't like you as far as to your soul as a person, to your core, but they probably don't want to have dinner conversation with you.
00:57:26.000In the realm of human history, that's a very new idea.
00:57:30.000You know, speaking about risk-takers, a good example, at one point, as I've discussed with him, Owen Benjamin would take some needless risks Be out there like, Owen, you don't need to be doing that, for example.
00:57:40.000But I've always been kind of envious of Owen.
00:57:42.000If you see him on stage, he goes into jazz mode and he just tries new, like he will do two hours and keep going and just try new stuff and doesn't care if it works or not.
00:57:51.000And then all of a sudden the room will, the floorboards will shake with laughter because he's taking risk after risk after risk after risk.
00:57:58.000And I haven't been, you know, I do some of that in comedy, but typically speaking, I like to be prepared and I'm a little meticulous if I'm doing standup.
00:58:05.000In the last few years, and often that's because there's a camera always on.
00:58:10.000He's willing to take that risk, and because of that, if you see when Owen, once he has his set, once he goes, okay, I'm no longer experimenting with this, he kills.
00:58:18.000He's a crusher, because he's willing to take that risk.
00:58:39.000But then, the people who never made the journey, who saw that same, they looked down to that same nothingness into the mist, and they demand that you trick back for them because they feel just as entitled to the new paradise found.
00:59:30.000And it pisses me off when people try to go, gee golly, I'm gonna quote a bible verse and I'm gonna be a nice guy and act as though, let's find common ground mister beating me out of my Lexus.
00:59:43.000You think people at the top haven't figured this out, that human nature is to be envious?
00:59:48.000When you're young and you're stupid, you blame just the advertisers and the corporations, man.
01:00:11.000Because the left agenda, the Bernies, the Nina Pintas, Santa Maria Cortezes of the world, what Hillary Clinton just said about the reckless mobs, encouraging it, that's the easiest sell in the world.
01:00:50.000Have you ever had a time I don't know.
01:00:53.000Pick something right now that you're really self-conscious about.
01:00:55.000Pick something maybe at some point in time.
01:00:57.000You probably actually have a memory of this specifically.
01:00:59.000You stepped out, kind of in faith, and you asked maybe like your wife, or a loved one, or a family member about this thing.
01:01:04.000You know, kind of asked for their feedback.
01:01:07.000But rather than regurgitate exactly what you wanted to hear, and some kind of attempt to build up your self-esteem, they told you the truth.
01:01:15.000You ever have that happen and get pissed?
01:02:59.000You can change it about yourself, or you can accept it, and it's not necessarily a bad thing either or, because either is okay, provided that you don't feel entitled to the spoils of the next guy without fulfilling his or her requirements.
01:03:15.000That's what, once you do that, when you look yourself in the mirror and you say, okay, you know what, I'm not a risk taker, but I feel like I deserve what the risk taker created.
