00:04:41.000 No, my lord. 1.00

00:04:42.000 I would follow you to the gates of hell. 0.91

00:04:45.000 Please, Judas. 0.95

00:04:46.000 What are you doing?

00:04:48.000 Judas! Judas! Stop fighting!

00:04:52.000 Lord! Come on! Let it happen!

00:04:54.000 Let it happen!

00:04:56.000 Judas! Judas!

00:04:58.000 Man, Judas is really trying to get in there with Jesus.

00:05:00.000 Is that a surprise?

00:05:04.000 What does that mean?

00:05:05.000 What, you don't know?

00:05:06.000 Oh yeah, Judas. 1.00

00:05:08.000 I mean, he's into that Mammon, Mr. Mistoffelees unnatural shit. 1.00

00:05:13.000 What? 1.00

00:05:14.000 I've never heard that.

00:05:16.000 How have you never heard that?

00:05:18.000 I mean, it's all over Nazarene.

00:05:19.000 Just ask Matthew. 0.99

00:05:20.000 The time after he had too much wine after the wedding, gets in there, starts playing grab ass with Matthew. 0.97

00:05:26.000 How come I've never heard this story? 0.91

00:05:28.000 No one tells me anything.

00:05:29.000 He's going in there so aggressively.

00:05:29.000 I mean, he gets in there.

00:05:32.000 I mean, Matt just thought it was a goof.

00:05:34.000 On tax day?

00:05:35.000 On tax day.

00:05:36.000 Judas gets around.

00:05:38.000 I mean, poor nephew couldn't get his work done.

00:05:40.000 Plus, the thing with Herod the Great. 0.99

00:05:42.000 No, shut up. 1.00

00:05:42.000 What happened with Herod? 1.00

00:05:43.000 Judas f****** f****** out of the f****** house. 0.99

00:05:46.000 And then he was like this, f****** this, and f****** boom. 0.99

00:05:48.000 I mean, he f****** Pythagorean'd him as f****** cute angles. 0.99

00:05:52.000 It was like f****** geometric f******ville. 0.98

00:05:56.000 Oh my gosh. 0.98

00:05:57.000 Uh, yeah.

00:05:59.000 🎵 Music 🎵 🎵 Music 🎵

00:06:22.000 It's June! Which marks, louder than crowders, 5th annual Cultural Appropriation Month.

00:06:29.000 Where we take you across the globe to learn about and appreciate all the cultures this world has to offer.

00:06:37.000 This week, we gave them freedom.

00:06:39.000 They gave us the Kia Sorento.

00:06:41.000 Ladies and gentlemen, it's South Korea!

00:06:49.000 I don't know!

00:06:51.000 So glad, because by the way, Cultural Appropriation Month, to appropriate is to appreciate.

00:06:56.000 It is true.

00:06:57.000 Very glad to be here with you today.

00:06:59.000 We have Michael Knowles on the show.

00:07:01.000 We'll be talking with Michael Knowles a little bit later on.

00:07:03.000 Everyone here seems very confused in the studio.

00:07:04.000 It's okay, you can still be present.

00:07:07.000 Don't worry, our careers have ended long ago.

00:07:11.000 Michael Knowles will be talking about the new Donald Trump polls, why it's... I don't want to...

00:07:17.000 Bullshit! 0.99

00:07:18.000 But let me introduce, we have Quarter Black Garrett is here with me. 1.00

00:07:22.000 We have Audio Wade, then we have Half Asian Style.

00:07:25.000 Okay, that's about all the commitment you would put to it.

00:07:29.000 And then, of course, Gerald A. Dennis Rodman is here.

00:07:31.000 I just want to go home, man.

00:07:33.000 I got on the wrong flight.

00:07:34.000 Can I go home?

00:07:35.000 It's a problem for everyone right now.

00:07:37.000 Delta isn't even giving out snacks.

00:07:39.000 Home!

00:07:43.000 Yes, we do have some facts, I guess, on North Korea.

00:07:45.000 But first, let me ask you this.

00:07:46.000 What do you think is the worst offense as far as pollsters getting things wrong, particularly when it comes to Donald Trump?

00:07:52.000 Obviously, people will mostly answer Trump.

00:07:54.000 But let's get a little more granular because we know that one was, they're bad.

00:07:59.000 When it comes to South Korea, a lot of people don't know this.

00:08:02.000 AudioAid, thank you for helping with the research.

00:08:05.000 Entering a Korean home, you should always take off your shoes as a sign of respect, and take off your hat as a sign of utter contempt, just to keep them guessing. 1.00

00:08:14.000 This year's South Korean film Parasite took home the Oscar for Best Picture, or as I call it, a gift, and the Korean Film Award for Least Shame Brought to the Family.

00:08:27.000 It's a new category.

00:08:28.000 It's a different deal.

00:08:29.000 They buried it in with the editors and the technical.

00:08:32.000 They did this commercially.

00:08:34.000 It's always an Asian who brings Lee Shin to the family. 1.00

00:08:37.000 That's all it is.

00:08:38.000 They are the ones that care.

00:08:41.000 Another fact about South Korea, since the 1950s their national slogan has been, South Korea, the one with food.

00:08:48.000 It's descriptive.

00:08:49.000 It really is helpful.

00:08:50.000 You know, if one phrase could describe it, there it is.

00:08:53.000 It's always weird to me when I see Psy from South Korea.

00:08:55.000 He was protesting the capital, the inherently discriminatory capitalist system.

00:09:01.000 Just grab some binoculars!

00:09:03.000 You guys are the closest to the examples.

00:09:06.000 Americans here, they're not going to go to Canada.

00:09:07.000 They're so far removed from socialism, let alone actual communism.

00:09:11.000 You're in the place where, by the way, it's still not that free, but they dox their citizens in South Korea. 0.80

00:09:16.000 Yeah.

00:09:16.000 What would you rather, you're the South, you're good Korea, and then there's bad Korea.

00:09:22.000 Don't become bad Korea.

00:09:23.000 I am tired of being good Korea. 1.00

00:09:27.000 Nice Japanese voice.

00:09:28.000 That was Japanese.

00:09:30.000 What is a Korean accent?

00:09:31.000 I'm not really sure.

00:09:32.000 Is it more similar to Chinese?

00:09:33.000 Why are you looking at me?

00:09:36.000 No, no, no.

00:09:37.000 This is what Bill does.

00:09:38.000 This is what half-Asian Bill does. 1.00

00:09:39.000 Before the show, he goes, I'll just be Psy.

00:09:41.000 I'll put on some sunglasses.

00:09:42.000 But then people will think you're Korean. 0.99

00:09:43.000 He goes, I don't give a sh**. 0.99

00:09:46.000 Now he acts like I'm the one. 0.99

00:09:49.000 Look, look, look.

00:09:50.000 Pho, racial outrage is my favorite thing. 0.99

00:09:53.000 The white people, they get so comfortable, you lure them in, and then you slam them. 1.00

00:09:57.000 Straight face. 1.00

00:09:58.000 Also, Pho, delicious.

00:09:59.000 It is delicious.

00:10:00.000 Is that Korean? 0.75

00:10:00.000 No, it's Vietnamese. 0.75

00:10:02.000 Pho.

00:10:02.000 Vietnamese.

00:10:03.000 Pho.

00:10:03.000 One, it's pronounced Pho.

00:10:04.000 Two, it's not Korean.

00:10:05.000 Not to an American. 0.62

00:10:06.000 Three, your hair looks great.

00:10:08.000 It does look fantastic.

00:10:08.000 That's his natural hair, actually.

00:10:11.000 I guess the only, the pop music in South Korea is very gay. 1.00

00:10:15.000 It is very effeminate. 0.97

00:10:17.000 No, I didn't say effeminate.

00:10:19.000 I don't want to tar all women. 0.99

00:10:21.000 It's gay. 1.00

00:10:22.000 So before we go into the news, first, everyone, remember to stretch before you pander. 0.94

00:10:29.000 It's better not to have on high heels.

00:10:39.000 Yeah.

00:10:40.000 Yeah.

00:10:40.000 Woo!

00:10:44.000 Yes, but that brings us to right away, who did it better?

00:10:48.000 I do miss that man.

00:10:59.000 Yeah.

00:10:59.000 With the this.

00:11:00.000 He's got the rhythm.

00:11:02.000 Either he's doing the time warp, or he's culturally appropriating because he's appreciating.

00:11:08.000 And no one there was upset.

00:11:10.000 People get so mad.

00:11:11.000 They're like, that's ours.

00:11:12.000 George Bush is not.

00:11:13.000 He doesn't think that he's actually won.

00:11:15.000 He's going like, what are you guys doing over here?

00:11:18.000 You beat on this girl? 1.00

00:11:19.000 Dude, Matthew McConaughey there.

00:11:20.000 Hopefully you keep your pants on.

00:11:23.000 None of the funny plants.

00:11:25.000 Ho! 1.00

00:11:27.000 It breaks into Michael Jackson's Thriller.

00:11:29.000 There's a lot of this.

00:11:31.000 It's sort of the Backstreet Boys with the Backstreet's Back.

00:11:34.000 I can't remember a time when they weren't back.

00:11:37.000 Like where did you go?

00:11:39.000 Back again and then two years later we're back again and we're here for real and like we're here again but we really mean it this time.

00:11:47.000 Thank you.

00:11:48.000 They needed more attention.

00:11:51.000 We will be talking about the Donald Trump polls.

00:11:52.000 I'm looking forward to that because a lot of people have been a little bit upset.

00:11:57.000 You don't need to worry about it.

00:11:59.000 Do not lose sleep over it.

00:12:02.000 Do lose sleep over the naked Chris Cuomo video though.

00:12:05.000 Do you have any idea how hard it is to make that go away?

00:12:11.000 Chris Cuomo, the video was uploaded, his wife was doing yoga and then he was naked in the background.

00:12:17.000 And you can't find the clip anywhere.

00:12:21.000 I'm betting CNN paid more to make that go away than Bill O'Reilly's Skype with the purple apparatus. 0.97

00:12:26.000 You should just let it live on.

00:12:29.000 This helps his image.

00:12:30.000 We'll find it.

00:12:33.000 So, of course, leading the news after the nationwide call now to defund the police, which we'll be talking about more on Monday in Good Morning Monk Club, it was reported this week that one of the longest-running TV shows, I believe, ever, Cops, has been cancelled.

00:12:47.000 Think of that for a second now.

00:12:48.000 They're canceling cops because it has cops in it.

00:12:52.000 Interesting.

00:12:53.000 It's not, you know, it was like, well, there are some bad cops and there's some good cops.

00:12:56.000 No, cancel cops.

00:12:59.000 Why?

00:13:00.000 Because there are cops.

00:13:01.000 I understand your grievance.

00:13:02.000 Well, I don't.

00:13:04.000 It's because they're always abusive, that's why.

00:13:05.000 Right.

00:13:06.000 And one thing, obviously, I'm kind of joking, because it turns out that the initial reports it was trending, they were actually incorrect.

00:13:12.000 And we always have to correct it when the media is doing their job.

00:13:15.000 The show is not cancelled entirely.

00:13:17.000 It's going to be reformatted.

00:13:19.000 It comes back in a different way.

00:13:20.000 This is how production works.

00:13:22.000 We actually have, from the new format, an exclusive sneak peek.

00:13:26.000 Tonight on No Cops Stay tuned for more No Cops

00:13:57.000 Whatcha gonna do?

00:13:59.000 you And I will stay tuned.

00:14:01.000 I'm excited about that.

00:14:02.000 It is a riveting program.

00:14:03.000 I would love to see the next installment.

00:14:05.000 Who you gonna call?

00:14:09.000 I want to make the joke.

00:14:10.000 So with public restrooms, they've been closed.

00:14:13.000 Obviously thousands of protesters have been packing the streets.

00:14:17.000 New York City's public urination problem is on the rise.

00:14:22.000 And so they've been talking about this.

00:14:23.000 So as we all struggle with the new normal, New York City gets to stay the same. 0.68

00:14:30.000 Look, I don't know what that city would be like if it didn't smell like urine all the time.

00:14:33.000 I don't know.

00:14:34.000 It has a cleansing effect.

00:14:35.000 It would be worse.

00:14:36.000 I watched a homeless man take a dump right in front of me.

00:14:39.000 Really? 1.00

00:14:39.000 Yes, a human take a crap. 1.00

00:14:41.000 No shame. 1.00

00:14:41.000 And there was a cop right near me. 1.00

00:14:42.000 I was like, I've got other things to do.

00:14:45.000 That's New York.

00:14:46.000 To be fair, you need to clarify New York City, because initially we wrote that as New York.

00:14:50.000 Right, right, right.

00:14:52.000 Albany?

00:14:53.000 Yeah.

00:14:54.000 Schenectady?

00:14:55.000 Rockwell?

00:14:56.000 And actually, to be fair, Rockwell does have They have Pissing Ralph, and that's a problem.

00:15:02.000 He's doing better.

00:15:05.000 Pissing Ralph, are you? 0.96

00:15:07.000 I can't help it, I just like pissing on things. 0.98

00:15:11.000 It's a part, it's who I am.

00:15:14.000 Ralph, are you pissing right now?

00:15:15.000 I'm doing better.

00:15:19.000 Stop lying to yourself.

00:15:23.000 Porsche connectivity.

00:15:23.000 Pissing Ralph, he migrates.

00:15:24.000 He's a roamer.

00:15:25.000 Pissing Ralph, he migrates.

00:15:27.000 He's a roamer. 0.99

00:15:29.000 He's a roaming pissing Ralph.

00:15:31.000 Uh, turning in, let's turn to the latest peaceful protest news.

00:15:37.000 A Wisconsin man threatened to unleash, this is my new hero, unleash bees if a protest turned into a riot.

00:15:45.000 I love it!

00:15:46.000 He was armed with 12 crates of what he called his riot control bees.

00:15:52.000 Wow!

00:15:52.000 Bees!

00:15:53.000 Most affected by the debacle, of course, Antifa.

00:15:56.000 Let us pray in silence.

00:16:00.000 Wanna go tree climbing, Thomas J?

00:16:04.000 His face hurts.

00:16:05.000 And where is his glasses?

00:16:07.000 He can't see without his glasses.

00:16:10.000 Put his glasses on!

00:16:12.000 Put on his glasses!

00:16:15.000 In real life, sometimes the fascists win.

00:16:18.000 It's sad.

00:16:19.000 Bees everywhere!

00:16:20.000 Sometimes they're tiny fascists, but there are many of them. 0.80

00:16:23.000 Little, yes.

00:16:23.000 They start them young.

00:16:24.000 The good news is the fascists die after they sting you, so... Tyrants! 0.95

00:16:29.000 Is that accurate? 0.99

00:16:30.000 Do bees die when they release their stinger?

00:16:32.000 I don't know.

00:16:32.000 Not all the time.

00:16:33.000 I mean, I thought so.

00:16:34.000 That's what I thought, too.

00:16:35.000 Not all the time.

00:16:36.000 Tweet me!

00:16:38.000 Help us understand bees.

00:16:39.000 I know wasps don't, but I don't know the bees.

00:16:41.000 Oh, the bee-ologists. 1.00

00:16:42.000 And you're not going to Google it.

00:16:44.000 No.

00:16:44.000 Hey, remember when that was a thing?

00:16:45.000 We were running out of bees.

00:16:46.000 Remember that?

00:16:46.000 We're not running out of bees anymore.

00:16:47.000 Every few years.

00:16:48.000 I hear about this a lot in the wine business.

00:16:50.000 Right.

00:16:50.000 Well, now we have the Japanese killer hornets.

00:16:53.000 I think they call them Asian killer hornets now because they're not just from Japan. 0.89

00:16:56.000 Well, they filed agreements.

00:16:58.000 Yeah.

00:16:59.000 They call them non-white hornet bees.

00:17:01.000 Non-binary.

00:17:03.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:17:04.000 Really?

00:17:04.000 My mom's soul wife, yeah.

00:17:07.000 It was painful, but after a month... She got the anti-venom, which ironically is just from another... It's from a Latvian killer hornet. 0.59

00:17:14.000 One anti-venom is another hornet's venom venom.

00:17:21.000 Just like the Brazilian Wandering Spider, it's venom actually gives you boners.

00:17:24.000 Really?

00:17:24.000 And then you die.

00:17:25.000 Death by priapism. 1.00

00:17:27.000 Death by long, painful erection from the Brazilian Wandering Spider. 1.00

00:17:32.000 Painful. 0.99

00:17:34.000 Could you write... Could Mel Gibson In the apocalypto rough draft, write a worse way to die.

00:17:41.000 By the way, guys, I got an idea for Spider.

00:17:43.000 Wait, that's what Monica was helping Bill with.

00:17:45.000 Oh, jeez.

00:17:47.000 Look, you gotta do what you gotta do to get rid of priapism, okay?

00:17:49.000 I don't think you know what priapism is or you wouldn't joke about it.

00:17:52.000 You wouldn't take it so lightly.

00:17:53.000 In social justice news, this is very serious.

00:17:54.000 These are serious things.

00:17:56.000 Death boners. 0.71

00:17:57.000 In social justice...

00:18:02.000 It's a real thing!

00:18:02.000 It's horrifying!

00:18:03.000 It's not a joke!

00:18:04.000 Can you imagine that?

00:18:05.000 Because the first 5-10 minutes, you'd be like, Guys, look at this!

00:18:09.000 Do I need to get people to come in and verify?

00:18:12.000 And you think it's kind of cool, the novelty, then 30-40 minutes in, you might say, I think there's a problem here.

00:18:18.000 Four hours in, I'm getting lightheaded, and then you die, and it can't be open casket.

00:18:24.000 Does it go away after you die, or is it just forever like a monument to why you died?

00:18:29.000 I don't know.

00:18:30.000 By the way, I have a story after the show that I want to talk about.

00:18:32.000 You guys know what I'm talking about.

00:18:34.000 You don't want to hear the story.

00:18:37.000 In social justice news, New York City, they'll have a street named Black Lives Matter in each borough.

00:18:45.000 Progressive.

00:18:45.000 Yeah, so this is a push.

00:18:48.000 It's not necessarily new.

00:18:49.000 Now, what a lot of people haven't taken into consideration is this means that, of course, they're going to have to rename A street that already exists will have to be changed.

00:18:58.000 So the Brooklyn City Council is currently debating over whether it will be Martin Luther King Jr.

00:19:02.000 Street, Malcolm X Way, or I Hope You Brought Your Steering Wheel Lock Boulevard. 0.72

00:19:07.000 So that's... Very apt.

00:19:08.000 Well, I mean, that one's just helpful.

00:19:10.000 Probably shouldn't change that.

00:19:11.000 Probably shouldn't.

00:19:12.000 It's really, it seems like it should be, it's more of a guideline.

00:19:15.000 That's great.

00:19:17.000 Less a rule, more just a tip.

00:19:19.000 We wouldn't want to victim blame.

00:19:21.000 No, we would not want to victim blame.

00:19:24.000 Finally, this is another one, because we're international here, at an international wine competition.

00:19:29.000 This was a big surprise.

00:19:30.000 It wasn't a French wine that won.

00:19:32.000 It wasn't even an American wine.

00:19:33.000 If you guys saw Bottle Shock, you know it's a Mexican wine.

00:19:36.000 was named the best Cabernet Sauvignon in the world.

00:19:40.000 Have you tried this?

00:19:41.000 No.

00:19:42.000 I've had Mexican wine, but I don't know this wine.

00:19:44.000 Have you had Mexican wine that should be the best wine in the world?

00:19:46.000 Nope.

00:19:47.000 And why?

00:19:48.000 Just racist.

00:19:49.000 No, because they can't make great wine. 0.99

00:19:51.000 And that's because they're Mexican. 0.98

00:19:52.000 Did you hear what he said?

00:19:53.000 It's because of location.

00:19:55.000 Because of their location.

00:19:58.000 Oh wait, did you hear that?

00:19:59.000 It's because of climate.

00:20:00.000 Dog whistle.

00:20:01.000 Climate's a dog whistle now?

00:20:02.000 Did you just say they're not bringing their best?

00:20:04.000 Is that what you said?

00:20:05.000 No.

00:20:05.000 They're bringing their best.

00:20:07.000 They won!

00:20:07.000 Make tequila.

00:20:07.000 They brought their best and they won.

00:20:09.000 Bring tequila. 0.99

00:20:09.000 By definition, you can't hear the dog whistle. 0.99

00:20:15.000 Granted, Gerald, I will say, I will give you this.

00:20:17.000 When you look at the judging process, it seems that there might have been some inherent bias. 1.00

00:20:22.000 Damn my sh**, man. 0.99

00:20:32.000 See? 1.00

00:20:38.000 Remember Gerald is the racist. 0.97

00:20:39.000 Whoa! 0.82

00:20:40.000 How am I the racist?

00:20:42.000 By the way, is it considered Mexican-face if a Colombian does it? 0.89

00:20:46.000 I still can't understand why Tekashi69 can say the N-word repeatedly when he's half-Mexican and Puerto Rican.

00:20:55.000 He's got the camouflage on his face.

00:20:58.000 Yeah, I don't know what he... Yeah, he blends in with a bouncy hop.

00:21:03.000 How many tattoos does it take until it turns into blackface? 1.00

00:21:06.000 What is a bouncy hop?

00:21:09.000 Well, you know, you trampoline with kids.

00:21:10.000 Bouncy hop.

00:21:11.000 Where Gerald used to hang out.

00:21:12.000 Sorry, this is America.

00:21:13.000 We need you to speak American.

00:21:14.000 You mean a bounce house?

00:21:15.000 Is it called a bounce house?

00:21:16.000 Yes, a bounce house.

00:21:17.000 I don't know.

00:21:17.000 I have no idea.

00:21:18.000 Maybe where you're from, Mr. I-don't-know-Chinese-or-Korean. 1.00

00:21:20.000 Well, it is bouncy and they do hop, so it was descriptive.

00:21:23.000 Okay.

00:21:24.000 Well, listen, I apologize to those who tuned in to the show for my accuracy in children's novelty toys.

00:21:32.000 You won't find it here.

00:21:33.000 You lost them.

00:21:35.000 They're all gone.

00:21:36.000 Thanks, half-Asian.

00:21:38.000 Thanks, Psy.

00:21:39.000 Now I gotta reel them back in.

00:21:41.000 They're never coming back.

00:21:42.000 Anyone have any ball pen jokes?

00:21:43.000 I'm just... It's a ball pen.

00:21:46.000 We can go back to the bottle pen. 1.00

00:21:47.000 Son of a bitch! 1.00

00:21:48.000 Ball pen? 1.00

00:21:52.000 Meat segment on this.

00:21:54.000 This is why we need immigration reform. 0.99

00:21:56.000 Screw you. 1.00

00:21:58.000 And f*** your bouncy hop. 1.00

00:22:00.000 Man, we have a censor button. 1.00

00:22:01.000 It's okay.

00:22:03.000 Right, YouTube?

00:22:04.000 So, let's get into the polls here, because everyone has been talking about this.

00:22:09.000 And I think, listen, polls matter.

00:22:11.000 You can't be someone who entirely discounts them, but the methodology matters as well.

00:22:15.000 And I think we, and we'll come back to this, polls are just as much, or they have morphed into just as much a tool to try and shape public opinion as much as they're supposed to be sort of a temperature gauge of public opinion.

00:22:28.000 But this is the newest CNN poll.

00:22:29.000 Let them say it.

00:22:30.000 Is this translating into support for his opponent in November, Joe Biden?

00:22:36.000 It overwhelmingly is.

00:22:37.000 Take a look at this matchup that we have.

00:22:39.000 It's just, it's unbelievable to me.

00:22:41.000 55% of voters right now say that they would vote for Joe Biden.

00:22:47.000 Only 41% say they vote for the president.

00:22:49.000 And that 55% is so important because it means that Biden's over 50%.

00:22:52.000 I went back, I looked at the polls back in 2016.

00:22:56.000 From this point onward, Hillary Clinton never reached this level. 0.99

00:23:00.000 She never got there.

00:23:01.000 She never got above 50%.

00:23:03.000 So this means, especially looking at the other polling, that the president will have to take back some of Biden's supporters if in fact he wants to win.

00:23:11.000 Okay, either first shave your chest or wear a tie.

00:23:14.000 There's something very disturbing about that chest hair with... Can you imagine that guy opening a Christmas present?

00:23:23.000 This is exactly what I wanted!

00:23:25.000 The best of the Guess Who!

00:23:27.000 You know, the fact is, there's paper on this.

00:23:29.000 I'm familiar with them.

00:23:29.000 It's their hits and no bee signs.

00:23:31.000 I hate bee signs. 0.99

00:23:34.000 Sucks. 0.99

00:23:34.000 Just what I wanted. 0.99

00:23:35.000 You know, I really, I learned my polling methodology through years of time spent abroad in lockers.

00:23:43.000 Stephen, 55, by the way, is greater than 50, as he said.

00:23:47.000 Very, very key point.

00:23:48.000 And I mean, when I say, I mean more than, my right, your left, if you do this, if you do this, really, and then, I'm just, I'm so itchy here, it's like I'm wearing a sweater vest.

00:24:00.000 I'm a horrible human.

00:24:05.000 It's something that I think they shouldn't have done. 0.98

00:24:08.000 It's silly. 0.91

00:24:09.000 And this is a perfect example of ego. 0.87

00:24:11.000 The Trump campaign sent a cease and desist letter to CNN, which of course they've ignored.

00:24:16.000 And I don't say that he shouldn't send a cease and desist because it's inaccurate.

00:24:19.000 I just don't think it looks good.

00:24:23.000 But let's look at the actual methodology of the poll.

00:24:25.000 So it may come as no surprise that the source of the poll, or the worst polls that they're discussing there for Donald Trump, is CNN.

00:24:35.000 Yeah, that's the actual source for the poll.

00:24:37.000 And if you're taking the methodology, again, for people who go, this looks really bad, I'm Hillary Clinton.

00:24:42.000 Well, hold on a second.

00:24:43.000 If you're taking different sample sizes, only 25% were Republicans, 32% Democrats, and 44% Independents.

00:24:52.000 And what really matters there is whoever is conducting the poll, that high number of Independents, you can really stack that deck.

00:24:58.000 You can hand-pick Independents. 1.00

00:25:00.000 Yeah, that's a terrible... 33% of people that voted in the last election were Republicans, right?

00:25:07.000 So 25, that's crazy.

00:25:07.000 You shouldn't have that low a number at any point.

00:25:09.000 Absolutely.

00:25:09.000 And when you take that, the poll is surprising.

00:25:12.000 It's surprising that he's even as close as he is.

00:25:14.000 It should be far worse than that.

00:25:16.000 I feel like from a reliability standpoint, is anyone thinking that CNN has a solid list of conservative phone numbers?

00:25:23.000 Right, exactly.

00:25:24.000 I don't know.

00:25:24.000 They're like, well, I looked through my friend's list.

00:25:27.000 Yeah, no, alright, here, let's pick these guys. 0.88

00:25:29.000 Alright, done.

00:25:30.000 Yeah, pretty much.

00:25:30.000 much time. You know I looked on to Jonathan Crone who's formerly concerned was the inspiration

00:25:34.000 for my nasal reconstructive surgery. That's why I'm able to be as articulate as I am.

00:25:40.000 So we just polled the family four or five times. And let's look by the way let's look

00:25:45.000 at how CNN is framing their own poll. Okay a couple of things here but this is where

00:25:52.000 they say that there has been overwhelming support for the protest. See the catch. This

00:25:57.000 is one of the first sort of measures of whether or not people are agreeing with these protests

00:26:01.000 or not. And what we see is that they overwhelmingly are agreeing with the protest. 84 percent

00:26:08.000 84% say that they are justified, these peaceful protests.

00:26:13.000 Yeah, okay!

00:26:15.000 83% said that these peaceful... the word peaceful was slipped in there.

00:26:21.000 84% of people support peaceful protests.

00:26:24.000 What about violent protests?

00:26:27.000 Did we ask them?

00:26:28.000 Yeah, the number drops to 27%.

00:26:31.000 And keep in mind, that's with a sample of 75% non-Republican voters.

00:26:37.000 Right, and we know that we can historically trust CNN polls because they called Hillary Clinton the winner by, what, 99%?

00:26:42.000 Well, yeah, but we're getting a little deeper into it.

00:26:44.000 So when it's 33% and they do 25%, that's an 8-point swing in the poll.

00:26:49.000 Right, so it would actually drop it down 8 points, plus 3.4% plus or minus.

00:26:54.000 He's pretty much right neck and neck.

00:26:55.000 And by the way, another thing, they oversampled, and they said this, they oversampled black non-Hispanic people by 250 out of 1200 and something.

00:27:02.000 They oversampled a population right now that's very frustrated with the president, either rightfully so or not in this poll.

00:27:08.000 You know Dennis Rodman has spent a lot of time in Korea when he's doing statistics.

00:27:14.000 I just want to bring us together.

00:27:15.000 I want North Korea to understand it.

00:27:18.000 I want to go home.

00:27:19.000 I just want to go.

00:27:20.000 You know, I watched the documentary on Dennis Rodman.

00:27:22.000 By the way, it's alarming as to how much you look like a white Dennis Rodman. 0.84

00:27:27.000 It makes me wildly uncomfortable. 0.96

00:27:28.000 I watched this documentary and my wife and I felt bad for him because you see his rough upbringing, sure, but then you realize there are a ton of people who all, and this is a perfect example of when people talk about privilege, there are a ton of people who've had just as terrible of an upbringing who didn't turn into p****. 0.93

00:27:42.000 Yeah, well, and he had the whole blindside thing happening, too, where a family takes him in and tries to help him out.

00:27:46.000 Not everybody who's had a rough upbringing gets that same treatment.

00:27:49.000 But to his credit, he's not really a racist, which I appreciate about him.

00:27:53.000 He's very open about the fact that he didn't see it as black-white.

00:27:55.000 He saw it as some people were hateful in the South versus people who weren't.

00:27:58.000 And he's open about a lot of things.

00:27:59.000 His sexuality, which way he goes.

00:28:02.000 Close it back up! 0.98

00:28:03.000 Bottle it down!

00:28:05.000 No bottle it down!

00:28:06.000 Okay, I'll go home!

00:28:09.000 And this is something that I think is very important, because first off, we've showed how the sampling did.

00:28:13.000 And by the way, when we're talking about peaceful protests, can you name me any major city where over the course of these two weeks, any major city, I'm not talking about 20 people down in a suburb, any major city where once the lights went out, the protests didn't result in any violence.

00:28:27.000 And keep in mind, when I say that, I'm not saying any protest where there wasn't $25 million in property damage like you saw in Minneapolis alone.

00:28:33.000 Let's just compare it to the Tea Party, meaning zero crime.

00:28:37.000 That's the standard.

00:28:38.000 Zero crime.

00:28:38.000 Cleaner than when they got there.

00:28:40.000 Any big city where that's been the case in the last two weeks.

00:28:43.000 You can't name one.

00:28:45.000 Again, there have been isolated protests, small, and I want to be in the suburbs in the middle of the day, and then the lights go down and the tear gas comes up.

00:28:52.000 And by the way, it should be 100% of Americans okay with peaceful protests.

00:28:56.000 Yes.

00:28:56.000 That's part of one of the rights that we have.

00:28:58.000 We can protest injustice, peacefully.

00:29:00.000 I would answer yes.

00:29:01.000 Everybody should be fine with that.

00:29:02.000 I would answer yes if the question was peaceful protest.

00:29:03.000 Who are the other 13 or whatever percent it was? 0.99

00:29:06.000 Jerks. 1.00

00:29:07.000 Fascist bees. 0.99

00:29:11.000 Here's something that's pretty important.

00:29:15.000 There's a difference between polling people on what they think of a personality versus specific policies, right?

00:29:22.000 So let's go to some specific policies because they talk about Donald Trump and how he's not polling very well in any given area, but the poll is really, what do you think of Donald Trump on blank?

00:29:29.000 Well, when you go to specific policies, and I think this is important because 71% of Americans, we've talked about this, they support using the National Guard to address protests and demonstrations.

00:29:39.000 So that's different from, how do you feel about peaceful protests?

00:29:39.000 That's 71%.

00:29:44.000 58% supported sending in the actual military.

00:29:47.000 Right?

00:29:47.000 Wow.

00:29:47.000 That's huge.

00:29:48.000 58% supported, 71% support using the National Guard.

00:29:52.000 Which candidate supported the National Guard?

00:29:54.000 Which candidate excoriated the President for wanting to sit in the National Guard? 0.85

00:29:58.000 There's only one person who's had the balls to say, alright, we're going to sit in the National Guard.

00:30:03.000 And that's going against the grain with everyone in the media and entertainment industry, so it's important to keep that in context. 0.86

00:30:08.000 Now, I say this because that was pointed to as the most extreme right-wing.

00:30:13.000 Radical right-wing extremists, fascism, they want to send in the National Guard.

00:30:17.000 71% of Americans, not saying that polling makes something morally justified.

00:30:20.000 In this case, constitutionally, I believe it's morally justified to protect the rights of citizens.

00:30:24.000 That being said, 71% of Americans support it.

00:30:24.000 It's legal.

00:30:26.000 Now let's contrast that, that's radical right-wing extremism, send in the National Guard, with radical left-wing extremism.

00:30:33.000 Defunding the police and renaming streets and buildings.

00:30:36.000 No, no, no.

00:30:37.000 The public outcry over George Floyd's death has ignited debate and action on police reform and a lot of people advocating for what they have taken to calling defunding the police.

00:30:48.000 The phrase even appears in large yellow letters on the newly named Black Lives Matter Plaza on 16th Street near the White House.

00:30:58.000 Yeah, because you were saying no, no, no before we went.

00:31:00.000 I was saying no, no, no, that's not the only part because they're not just defunding the police.

00:31:03.000 If you look at the Seattle Autonomous Zone, they're replacing them with SoundCloud rappers who now have, who are armed and extorting businesses to fund the food and the weapons in those areas.

00:31:16.000 But we just don't call them police.

00:31:18.000 Listen, Bill, those rappers are just waiting for their break, okay?

00:31:21.000 Give them a minute.

00:31:22.000 Not all of them can be ambassadors.

00:31:23.000 They could be waiting tables at Starbucks or something, but this is better.

00:31:26.000 I hate to go back to that Tekashi 6ix9ine character, but I will say, even in a culture that is phony with gangster and how tough they are, for some reason kids have decided to support the whore gangster rapper who went to prison for snitching on the gang and then was allowed out because of his actions. 0.97

00:31:43.000 Snitches get asthma. 1.00

00:31:45.000 Where's my inhaler, dude?

00:31:46.000 It's got like a blinged-out inhaler.

00:31:48.000 I don't need Whippets! 1.00

00:31:48.000 Gold-plated. 1.00

00:31:49.000 I got Broncade!

00:31:51.000 Snitches get asthma. 1.00

00:31:53.000 Snitches get asthma. 1.00

00:31:55.000 Snitches get venilin, y'all! 1.00

00:31:57.000 Woo! 0.99

00:31:59.000 Where's my inhaler?

00:32:01.000 He's got like a blinged out inhaler.

00:32:03.000 Gold-plated. 0.99

00:32:05.000 I don't need whippets, I got bronchate, I don't give a f***! 1.00

00:32:07.000 We did drugs that could harm us. 0.99

00:32:13.000 HARM US.

00:32:17.000 So, while we're talking about police, defunding the police, wildly unpopular, only 16% of Americans support defunding the police, while 65% oppose it, 19% are unsure.

00:32:32.000 I guess those are the SoundCloud rappers.

00:32:35.000 But again, this is so remarkable because some people will say, well, you're misrepresenting it.

00:32:37.000 Defund the police.

00:32:38.000 That just means defunding it to a degree.

00:32:41.000 Some people believe that, but that's not what is being demanded by Black Lives Matter.

00:32:46.000 You have the mayor of Minneapolis who checked his privilege and recognized his own brokenness as a white person.

00:32:52.000 Be drummed out of the court by thousands of people for saying that he didn't support the outright abolition of police.

00:33:00.000 That is not a minority opinion.

00:33:02.000 That's the Minneapolis City Council opinion.

00:33:05.000 Let's be clear.

00:33:05.000 So even if you're saying, well that poll might be tainted.

00:33:09.000 65% oppose it.

00:33:10.000 Only 16% of Americans support that policy.

00:33:13.000 So, this is why this is important to me, when they constantly say, we have this radical extreme right wing on YouTube, right?

00:33:18.000 People going on the radical rabbit hole.

00:33:20.000 Let's take the furthest right opinion, as it was presented, sending in the National Guard.

00:33:24.000 How dare you?

00:33:25.000 This is fascism.

00:33:26.000 71% of Americans don't see it that way.

00:33:28.000 They support it.

00:33:28.000 Then let's take the furthest left opinion that we can have right now in this current conflict, defunding the police.

00:33:35.000 65% opposed to it.

00:33:36.000 So I ask you, which wing, as represented officially by the heads of their party, is more radical?

00:33:44.000 Yeah, and if you listen to just how the media describe it, you would think that everybody wants to defund the police, and that's a great idea, right?

00:33:50.000 So in this same poll, they said, how are race relations generally in America, right?

00:33:54.000 So this kind of speaks to the same media bias, and people are like, oh, they're terrible.

00:33:57.000 And they go, well, how about in your area?

00:33:58.000 Oh, they're fantastic!

00:33:59.000 Right?

00:34:00.000 It just flipped, and I'm like, that's the media bias, because you see this on the screen every day, and you think, oh, things are terrible everywhere, but when you look around outside of reality, it's not terrible.

00:34:09.000 It's not terrible.

00:34:10.000 It's getting better every day, okay?

00:34:12.000 North Korea's getting better every day! 1.00

00:34:14.000 Go home.

00:34:14.000 Okay.

00:34:16.000 He's trying!

00:34:17.000 They won't let me go home!

00:34:18.000 He had to be coached on, even though it's his character, but he was walking around the office going, oh, I'm like, no, wrong one.

00:34:26.000 Where's my glowy finger?

00:34:27.000 Anyone want to dress up like a girl alien? 1.00

00:34:33.000 By the way, hit the notification bell.

00:34:35.000 Hit all notifications if you're watching, of course, on YouTube right now, because subscriptions don't mean a whole lot.

00:34:40.000 You might be listening on the iTunes, Apple Podcasts.

00:34:44.000 If you're not, of course, you can listen there on the road, and please do join Mug Club at LIDARwithCredit.com slash Mug Club.

00:34:48.000 It's the only way that we make any dollar-dollar bills, as Tekashi699 would say.

00:34:54.000 Or as he would say, That's his rhyme.

00:34:57.000 Are those dollar bills?

00:34:57.000 No, that's his rhyme.

00:34:58.000 Is that the equivalent?

00:34:59.000 His rhyme is... Make that blank pop!

00:35:06.000 That's talent these days.

00:35:06.000 Really?

00:35:07.000 You'd be kicked off of Whose Line Is It Anyway as a cameo.

00:35:10.000 I gotta check this guy out.

00:35:12.000 He sounds really good.

00:35:13.000 The Warhol of rap.

00:35:18.000 Alright, so this is another point we need to get to and then we have Michael Knowles coming up after this.

00:35:21.000 And I want you again, you to tell me what you see as, because it was tough to pick them out, what you see as the worst example of media bias as it relates to polls.

00:35:30.000 There are several reasons, by the way, that pollsters have gotten things wrong.

00:35:34.000 Absolutely.

00:35:34.000 Remember when it used to be Trust Silver, Trust Nate Silver?

00:35:36.000 Now it's just like... Oops.

00:35:37.000 Oops.

00:35:38.000 Eh, whoo.

00:35:39.000 That's the, that's his website subtext.

00:35:43.000 It's just.

00:35:44.000 It's like a gif now.

00:35:48.000 So it has a lot to do, like you said, with how the media covers Donald Trump.

00:35:50.000 There's something called social desirability bias.

00:35:54.000 I'm going to get a little bit wonky, but I'll try and keep it short because I know that you, you know, we are in pink hairdos.

00:35:59.000 Social desirability bias, okay, it's the tendency of respondents in polls or surveys, they lie about their actual beliefs sometimes because they want to answer in a way that they view as more socially acceptable.

00:36:11.000 So as it relates to voting, This social desirability bias.

00:36:14.000 I'm saying this so you know what it is.

00:36:16.000 If you haven't been to college, you'll probably hear about it there.

00:36:18.000 It created something called the Bradley Effect, named after Tom Bradley.

00:36:22.000 He was a black candidate, lost in the 80s in California.

00:36:25.000 It was a gubernatorial race, despite the fact that he was leading in the polls.

00:36:29.000 But people didn't want to be perceived as racist.

00:36:32.000 They said, I'll vote for that guy.

00:36:33.000 And then they went back home and said, are you voting for that guy?

00:36:36.000 I said, no.

00:36:38.000 So you just told them that you were going to vote for that guy?

00:36:40.000 I said, yeah, it's because right behind him was a Black Panther with a baton. 0.97

00:36:42.000 So they said they were going to vote for him because he was, even though

00:36:48.000 they weren't going to vote for him, right? And then there have been case studies in this.

00:36:51.000 Now let's, for context, take a look at the way the media has actually covered President Trump.

00:36:56.000 Most presidents would use a crisis like that as an opportunity to bring the country together

00:37:01.000 and to denounce hatred, but not this president.

00:37:04.000 Over the last 12 months, Trump has instead amplified his racist rhetoric and policies.

00:37:10.000 I've talked about the president. 1.00

00:37:11.000 The president is a racist. 0.98

00:37:13.000 As a matter of fact, I've known that the president is a dangerous human being, a would-be dictator, who would move in the direction that he's doing. 0.99

00:37:23.000 President Trump today denying that his racist tweets were racist.

00:37:29.000 Today, it is the United States of America, the former beacon of the free world, that is the subject of global revulsion and disgust because of the raw, ugly racism and ethno-nationalism of our president.

00:37:43.000 And by the way, every single source is the previous clip. 0.98

00:37:47.000 I knew for a long time Donald Trump could be a racist and dangerous man! 0.93

00:37:54.000 How'd you know that? 0.97

00:37:54.000 Really? 0.97

00:37:55.000 I've seen it!

00:37:57.000 All the other times I've said that, you remember? 0.97

00:37:59.000 Jake Tapper and s***! 0.97

00:38:01.000 Good, okay, now we understand. 0.98

00:38:05.000 So the principle again, not wanting people, we talk about the Bradley effect, to perceive you as racist, well how do you think people are going to respond when the media consistently says, If you support Donald Trump, you're a racist. 0.97

00:38:14.000 Racist, racist, racist.

00:38:15.000 The MAGA symbol, the OK symbol, which is, by the way, don't tell Home Alone 2. 0.97

00:38:18.000 It's on the cover, for crying out loud.

00:38:21.000 This is racist. 0.99

00:38:22.000 This is white supremacy. 0.99

00:38:23.000 If you vote for Donald Trump, it's white supremacy. 0.97

00:38:24.000 Check your privilege. 0.96

00:38:25.000 Voting for Donald Trump is white privilege.

00:38:27.000 You probably will want to avoid being perceived as racist.

00:38:30.000 And so that's another reason that the polls can't be relied upon.

00:38:33.000 Not always, but specifically, we've seen historically with Donald Trump.

00:38:36.000 Yeah, and not only do they do that, not only do they portray him as a racist with no evidence on the screen at all, they also remove everything that would actually show him.

00:38:44.000 I don't know, he gave Arsenio Hall the Celebrity Apprentice win. 0.98

00:38:46.000 And that guy sucks at everything! 0.98

00:38:46.000 I know, right? 0.98

00:38:49.000 video that we saw the other night from his campaign that was taken down by

00:38:51.000 Twitter because somebody you know had a problem with being in a video that they

00:38:54.000 public footage right and every full quote all the full videos Donald Trump's

00:38:58.000 a racist well if you play the next 30 seconds you'll see he wasn't talking

00:39:01.000 about that right all of those things are pulled off so the only thing that you

00:39:05.000 see is what they have to say about him not facts right and what's I think the

00:39:09.000 other part of this is how many people are out there going oh I'm gonna vote

00:39:12.000 for they say publicly I'm gonna vote for Donald Trump and then are actually

00:39:15.000 gonna go home and vote for someone else.

00:39:17.000 Far less.

00:39:19.000 Right, consider the social desirability, and if you need proof, look at 2016.

00:39:23.000 If the fact that they think that this is accurate polling shows the fact that they're desperate to create it.

00:39:31.000 So I definitely get the point about why the letter was sent, and I'm with you.

00:39:34.000 I disagree with the letter being sent.

00:39:36.000 I think it looks weak.

00:39:37.000 In fact, you should have just sent one that just said, you're wrong.

00:39:39.000 That would have been better than anything.

00:39:43.000 Right, that would have been better, but ultimately, Bill, polling is wrong.

00:39:46.000 I do have a question for you on a legal front.

00:39:48.000 So I read the entire letter, and at the bottom of it, it basically said, because you've been notified, you can't destroy any information related to this polling.

00:39:55.000 And they list it out, just like a paragraph of things.

00:39:57.000 Do you think at some point they're going to go and try to say, like, just release to us how you conducted the poll?

00:40:01.000 Can they ask that?

00:40:02.000 Can they send us internal emails about conducting this poll?

00:40:04.000 Was it biased?

00:40:05.000 Are they trying to prove that by sending this letter?

00:40:06.000 So that's called a litigation hold.

00:40:08.000 It's a notice that you send.

00:40:09.000 You don't have to send it.

00:40:10.000 So people have an obligation to preserve things if they think there might be litigation.

00:40:14.000 But you put them on notice to say, preserve all your records because we might come have

00:40:18.000 to get them from you as part of litigation.

00:40:21.000 But it's not just that.

00:40:22.000 It's text.

00:40:23.000 They wrote facsimiles.

00:40:24.000 Right, so when you look and you look at how the poll came about and what was the

00:40:28.000 purpose in doing it and what were the conversations, that may be something that

00:40:32.000 they're looking at for down the road, which is why they sent that notice in

00:40:36.000 the first place. Again, you could have sent that notice without the rest of it.

00:40:38.000 Right.

00:40:39.000 But, you know, either way, look, there's certainly some thought went into it.

00:40:42.000 And I want to go back to your point.

00:40:42.000 Right.

00:40:43.000 I think you're absolutely right, because people say, well, it cuts both ways.

00:40:46.000 What is the likelihood of someone saying to a pollster, I'm going to vote for Donald Trump, and then not?

00:40:46.000 No.

00:40:51.000 Because answering a pollster to their face or on the phone, yeah, I'm voting for Donald Trump, is the equivalent to slapping your balls on the table and saying, suckle, suckle, suckle, suckle, huh? 1.00

00:41:02.000 Come on, num-num balls? 1.00

00:41:03.000 Num-num balls? 0.98

00:41:04.000 That's what it's like.

00:41:05.000 Right?

00:41:05.000 As opposed to the people who are afraid, kneeling.

00:41:07.000 It's allegorical.

00:41:09.000 I picked up.

00:41:10.000 No, I picked them up because, you know, lack of collagen.

00:41:16.000 There you go.

00:41:18.000 Stretchy.

00:41:20.000 Shea butter will help.

00:41:21.000 It's just like a sequel to Flubber.

00:41:23.000 The point is, bouncing off the walls, green tint.

00:41:28.000 Yeah.

00:41:29.000 No, I think you're absolutely right.

00:41:29.000 That's important to take into context.

00:41:31.000 Yeah.

00:41:33.000 That was McCree and doing that's always funny when you have a Canadian or a Brit or now you have South Koreans trying 1.00

00:41:38.000 to mimic the American inner-city black accent, it's like

00:41:41.000 You're not though You're not.

00:41:51.000 Another thing that isn't measured by polls—we'll go to Michael Knowles in just two seconds here—there's simple approval and disapproval, right?

00:41:57.000 And it glosses over enthusiasm.

00:41:59.000 And I know that a lot of people say, well, enthusiasm doesn't matter because people are either going to vote or they're not.

00:42:02.000 No, actually, it's a more significant determiner in who actually gets out and votes on Election Day.

00:42:08.000 And that's the reason there's this huge discrepancy between likely voters and then actual voters.

00:42:13.000 And these polls are likely voters.

00:42:15.000 And specifically, really, from From Al Gore onward, outside of Barack Obama, you can think of Al Gore, you can think of John Kerry with John Edwards, and then you can think of Hillary Clinton, of course.

00:42:26.000 There really has been an enthusiasm problem on the left.

00:42:29.000 So Hillary Clinton, right, she led significantly among likely voters, but then trailed With actual voters. 0.57

00:42:35.000 Now, recent polls show that among registered voters who support Trump, 55% of them are very enthusiastic about backing him.

00:42:42.000 For Biden, it's half at 28% are very enthusiastic.

00:42:46.000 And I tell you what, those 28% are committed to the lie.

00:42:50.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:42:51.000 Well, and just to go to your point... Like when they say, I really... No, I'm going to enthusiastically vote for Biden.

00:42:56.000 It's like, you threw up in your mouth a little bit.

00:42:58.000 I did.

00:42:58.000 I swallowed it back.

00:42:59.000 You got me.

00:43:00.000 They'll probably forget, just like Joe Biden will, he'll forget he's running for president by election day, but nonetheless.

00:43:04.000 In the CNN poll, it goes back to your point, 70% of the people that said that they were voting for Trump, they said it's because I want Trump to win.

00:43:10.000 60% of the people voting for Biden didn't say it because they like Biden, they said it's they were voting against Trump.

00:43:16.000 So that's not enthusiasm for your candidate, that's just being pissed off in a moment.

00:43:16.000 Right.

00:43:16.000 Right?

00:43:19.000 That can change drastically.

00:43:21.000 Yeah, no.

00:43:22.000 That's a good point.

00:43:23.000 We'll wrap this up.

00:43:23.000 I think it's important, again, the most important takeaways from this poll is A. CNN is not a news organization.

00:43:28.000 Okay?

00:43:29.000 B. Number one.

00:43:32.000 I think we can all agree.

00:43:33.000 They would have been better off, they would have had more cover if they didn't release this poll.

00:43:38.000 CNN, just the facts.

00:43:39.000 Yeah, but you did a poll with 75% non-Republican respondents!

00:43:43.000 Hold on, hold on.

00:43:44.000 Let's just remember, CNN searched high and low and asked every pollster they could, can anyone come up with these numbers?

00:43:54.000 Alright, let's make our own.

00:43:54.000 No?

00:43:55.000 Chris Cuomo was like, I want to get Mr. Gallup on the phone.

00:44:03.000 This is Chris Cuomo. 0.72

00:44:04.000 Well, first off, there is no Mr. Gallup, and second, you're naked. 0.73

00:44:07.000 I don't know if this is another wife yoga video. 0.84

00:44:09.000 It's what I do.

00:44:12.000 Well, then I guess I'll take Mr. Quinnipiniac. 0.99

00:44:16.000 Put your d*** away, Chris. 0.99

00:44:17.000 Yeah, that's a good idea. 0.99

00:44:19.000 So, number one, CNN is not a news organization.

00:44:22.000 Two, there's a huge difference between polling people on personality traits, like how do you think Donald Trump presents the country?

00:44:29.000 Do you think Donald Trump is right?

00:44:30.000 Versus specific policies.

00:44:32.000 Should we send in the National Guard?

00:44:34.000 Should we defund the police?

00:44:35.000 Those are the polls that you should be looking at to get a more accurate gauge at this point, and still taking into account that there is a huge handicap, 75% non-Republican responders with CNN.

00:44:45.000 And the most important takeaway here, That's what it's for.

00:44:48.000 It's to walk people down the path of rationalizing their own argument.

00:44:50.000 pattern or your canvassing patterns at all.

00:44:52.000 You still need to go out, you still need to change people's minds.

00:44:54.000 That's what change my mind, right?

00:44:56.000 Didn't exist before the last election.

00:44:58.000 That's what it's for.

00:44:59.000 It's to walk people down the path of rationalizing their own argument.

00:45:03.000 There are far more people, as you see with these individual policy polls, who are more

00:45:08.000 conservative than they realize.

00:45:10.000 So all of you have a job to do that.

00:45:12.000 Don't think, well, because there's high enthusiasm, Donald Trump's going to win anyway.

00:45:15.000 Assume that he won't.

00:45:16.000 Assume the worst and work for the best.

00:45:19.000 Know that these polls, every time one of these polls comes out, they are used to try and manipulate the American public perception of elections just as much as they used to be used to try and gauge where the election is actually going.

00:45:33.000 That's not the case anymore.

00:45:34.000 Polls are a political tool at this point.

00:45:37.000 Be aware of it and do your part.

00:45:38.000 We have Michael Knowles coming up right after this break.

00:45:40.000 Ooh, hi, Momo!

00:45:41.000 You must choose.

00:45:42.000 It's cold outside.

00:45:44.000 Bimbo, bimbo. 0.99

00:45:45.000 My name is Mr. Susan.

00:45:46.000 You must choose.

00:45:47.000 And now it is time for you to do the choosing.

00:45:49.000 I am.

00:45:50.000 At least what you do online is your business.

00:46:19.000 Protect your business with ExpressVPN.

00:46:23.000 Not using a VPN, specifically ExpressVPN, is like leaving your front door unlocked every time you go

00:46:28.000 out.

00:46:29.000 And sure, you might be fine for years, but when a break-in does happen, it's terrible. 0.97

00:46:33.000 And it's even more important, because how much more often do you use your phone or computer Then your door, you basement-dwelling cretin, right? 0.99

00:46:42.000 You're probably doing that all the time, so you should at least protect yourself there.

00:48:07.000 Hey.

00:48:08.000 I haven't seen you on the board.

00:48:10.000 Do you guys have Black Rifle coffee here?

00:48:13.000 No, I'm sorry, we only carry good small-batch coffee here.

00:48:17.000 Well, it is great small-batch coffee.

00:48:20.000 Well, that really can't be unless it's fresh-roasted.

00:48:24.000 Well, it is fresh-roasted.

00:48:26.000 I don't think you know what that means.

00:48:28.000 You know what this is?

00:48:30.000 This is Masa Lekua Pique, which of course, in the Indonesian language, it's weasel coffee.

00:48:39.000 You just made that up.

00:48:40.000 No, it's been passed through their digestive tract. 0.57

00:48:42.000 That's disgusting.

00:48:43.000 And then it's nature's wet processing.

00:48:46.000 Yeah, but is it good?

00:48:46.000 I mean, it's alright.

00:48:51.000 Are they investor philanthropists?

00:48:53.000 Do they support good causes?

00:48:55.000 Yeah, tons of causes.

00:48:56.000 Veterans causes and first responder causes.

00:48:59.000 But it doesn't matter because they make good coffee.

00:49:01.000 So that's what I'm wanting.

00:49:04.000 Do you have any?

00:49:05.000 Actually, I'm just gonna order it and make it freshly roasted.

00:50:01.000 This is always awkward when it's Cultural Appropriation Month and I have to bring on a guest, and I just see them on the break.

00:50:05.000 Not awkward at all.

00:50:06.000 Watching from Skype, and they go... And you can see them talking to their publicist, you know, but they're just like this.

00:50:13.000 They mute their mics. 0.97

00:50:14.000 They're going, oh, okay, and then... What the f***? 0.85

00:50:20.000 Our next guest, actually, he's a host of a program there at the Daily Wire program, and he's an avid cigar smoker, so on the web Extended for Mug Club, we'll talk about that more. 0.93

00:50:28.000 Or as Black Lives Matter knows him, every negative stereotype of a white guy, host of the Michael Knowles Show, Mr. Knowles, how are you, sir?

00:50:37.000 I'm doing very well and I appreciate the intro because the one thing that Black Lives Matter has gotten right is everything they've said about me. 0.95

00:50:44.000 They're wrong about everything else but I will admit they got that part right.

00:50:47.000 What has their chant been for you?

00:50:49.000 He looks kind of generically ethnic but no one claims him.

00:50:54.000 Ethnically ambiguous.

00:50:55.000 Hey, hey, ho, ho.

00:50:58.000 We don't know what race is Michael Knowles.

00:51:00.000 What is you, man?

00:51:03.000 So, okay, so they don't like you.

00:51:05.000 Let me ask you, well, you're in, you're in, can I, I don't, I'm not letting the cat out of the bag.

00:51:08.000 You're in DC right now, right?

00:51:10.000 I am, yeah.

00:51:11.000 So I'm pretty much in the heart of darkness.

00:51:13.000 At least I'm not in the autonomous zone of Seattle.

00:51:15.000 But D.C.

00:51:16.000 is pretty crazy here.

00:51:17.000 I mean, there are boards up everywhere.

00:51:19.000 You know, mostly it's shop owners graffitying their own restaurants saying, like, we support BLM, please don't loot us, you know, minority-owned business, that kind of thing.

00:51:29.000 And, you know, we were shooting, I do this show with Senator Cruz called Verdict.

00:51:33.000 We were shooting at the White House yesterday.

00:51:35.000 They were taping.

00:51:40.000 So we're sitting there, we were talking to the Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.

00:51:47.000 You know, you'd think pretty good soundproofing.

00:51:49.000 No, we actually had to cut at one point because the peaceful protesters, quote-unquote, outside were so loud and they were so close to the White House that we were picking it up on our podcast mics It's pretty wild out here.

00:52:02.000 Well, you need to get a cardioid, first off.

00:52:05.000 But, no, we have something similar, except we have some workers in the office next door, 0.97

00:52:09.000 primarily black. 0.94

00:52:10.000 But one of them keeps coming in because he wants a job and he thinks we need drugs. 0.97

00:52:14.000 And that's not a joke.

00:52:15.000 Not a joke at all.

00:52:16.000 Comes over to one of our roosters, he's like, man, what do you want?

00:52:18.000 I got, I got what you need.

00:52:21.000 And he actually did that, and we were like, oh.

00:52:23.000 And then he came in one day in a motorcycle accident, and he had multiple body parts in a cast, and we were like, what happened?

00:52:28.000 Did you just come back from the Revolutionary War?

00:52:30.000 He's like, I'm rolling in.

00:52:32.000 And his motorcycle's still back there.

00:52:34.000 But, so different, you know, bridging the cultural divide.

00:52:37.000 What have you seen down there?

00:52:39.000 You know, I went down to Dallas, Deep Elm, where everything was boarded up.

00:52:42.000 And that's one thing, you know, a lot of people, they see the protests that turn into riots, and they want to say most of them are peaceful, but what you definitely notice is the media, they don't go down to deal with the refuse, right, that's left over here, all the trash.

00:52:53.000 What is it like, accurately, in D.C.?

00:52:57.000 Is it pockets?

00:52:58.000 Is it most of the city?

00:52:59.000 What's the vibe?

00:53:01.000 No, it's most of the city, and particularly in the areas with power, you know, by the Capitol or by the White House.

00:53:06.000 It's really closed up, and the main thing I'm noticing is people are just afraid, you know?

00:53:11.000 I mean, the Seattle example is the one that I think is the most extreme now.

00:53:16.000 They basically declared their own territory.

00:53:18.000 But there's this kind of irony to it, which is all of these well-meaning, mostly white liberals actually believe what the radicals, Antifa, the radical Marxists, the anarchists, what they all say is we want to get rid of the police, we want to get rid of borders.

00:53:34.000 That's obviously BS, because the minute they take over a territory, They set up their own police gangs.

00:53:38.000 They set up their own borders.

00:53:41.000 It's not that they want to get rid of government and police.

00:53:43.000 They just want to get rid of your government and police.

00:53:45.000 And guess what?

00:53:46.000 The one they're bringing in ain't going to be a whole lot nicer.

00:53:49.000 No.

00:53:49.000 Well, I've heard that the autonomous zone is entirely peaceful and there was a Bob Dylan cover band.

00:53:56.000 Is that not true?

00:53:56.000 You know, one thing I always notice is they always say it's mostly peaceful protests that unexpectedly turned a little bit violent, but the rioters are totally different than the protesters, even though they're in the same place at the same time for the same reason, and they're dressed the same way, and they're the exact same people.

00:54:12.000 Right, exactly.

00:54:13.000 It's like, can't you guys just at least do shirts and skins?

00:54:17.000 We can't know!

00:54:19.000 Make it easier for us.

00:54:19.000 You know what the standard is?

00:54:20.000 I say, okay, when you say peaceful, as peaceful as all of the Tea Party protests, go.

00:54:27.000 And they go, are you going to consider violating curfew?

00:54:29.000 Yep! 0.80

00:54:30.000 Actually, as a matter of fact, any peaceful protest where they leave the area cleaner than they found it.

00:54:34.000 Major City now, I'm not talking about four people on a street corner in Poughkeepsie.

00:54:38.000 That's what they point to.

00:54:39.000 They point to a suburban area where they know everyone's carrying and so people are, they're on their best behavior.

00:54:44.000 I don't think there's been a single major city over the course of two weeks that has not seen serious damage.

00:54:49.000 And I want to ask you this because you're more wonkish than I am.

00:54:52.000 There are two minds about this.

00:54:54.000 Do you think these riots affect, how do you think they affect the president's chances?

00:54:58.000 Good, bad for re-election?

00:55:00.000 I think he's got to show that he can step up and stop them.

00:55:04.000 You know, I like that President Trump is, I think he's taking the right tone.

00:55:09.000 Most of the tweets have been really on message.

00:55:11.000 But I think what a lot of people are looking at is they're saying, okay, you're right about the tweets, you're all right about holding hearings and tweets and things, but you've got to actually do something.

00:55:19.000 And this brings up the real problem that conservatives have.

00:55:22.000 Which is, conservatives don't control any of the institutions.

00:55:26.000 You know, there's this crazy thing where the left always talks about institutional racism, as though it's our fault, conservatives' fault.

00:55:33.000 Then I think, the left controls every major institution in the country.

00:55:36.000 The media, Hollywood, big tech, the academy, on and on, the administrative government, everything.

00:55:41.000 So if there is institutional racism, whose fault is that?

00:55:45.000 Right.

00:55:45.000 Not to mention the unions.

00:55:46.000 I mean, this is one thing, too.

00:55:47.000 It's remarkable the turn – because I've talked about this with John.

00:55:50.000 You know, John Oliver is doing his video.

00:55:52.000 Listen, I have consistently been anti-union in the 21st century.

00:55:56.000 I understand that at one point in the Industrial Revolution, there was some guy like, ah, fricking work.

00:56:00.000 OK, I get it.

00:56:01.000 A little bit different now, since no one found Hoffa's body, times have changed.

00:56:05.000 It is entirely consistent for me, and I do believe this, to say, hey, let's dissolve the police unions, let's change the structure there so that we can actually have some accountability, just like, the same way I feel for teachers unions.

00:56:16.000 We should reward good cops, and we should expel and punish bad cops.

00:56:19.000 But it is entirely inconsistent for the left to, in this instance, say they have a problem with police unions, because they are the ones who protect these unions, who, by the way, are the biggest political donors in the country, bar none.

00:56:30.000 It's not even close.

00:56:32.000 Right, and it's multiple public sector unions, right?

00:56:35.000 The police are a public sector union, the teachers are a public sector union, and the left does very well with these guys.

00:56:40.000 You know, they think that when they get rid of the cops, things are going to become more peaceful.

00:56:44.000 Obviously that is not the case, but there was one incident in Virginia that to me is the symbol of the whole thing, which is no cops to be seen, there were no cops around, And these rioters, like they were in Baghdad in 2003, pull down a statue, right?

00:56:59.000 They tie around the neck, pull down the statue, and the statue, as it comes tumbling down, squishes one of the rioters.

00:57:06.000 And overall, just like everything about this scene is sad, but I think this tells you the whole story, which is that when you pull down your history, you pull down your traditions and institutions, you think it's going to free you.

00:57:16.000 Actually, you're going to get squished.

00:57:17.000 In 2003, it was not a good vintage for Baghdad, by the way.

00:57:21.000 More of an O2, man.

00:57:25.000 No, I think it's a valid point.

00:57:26.000 This is something I was just thinking about today.

00:57:27.000 Maybe you have a strong opinion on this.

00:57:29.000 I haven't heard anyone else talk about it.

00:57:30.000 They want to get rid of police unions.

00:57:32.000 What's going to happen with card check?

00:57:33.000 For people who don't know, the left, they don't, because many people in unions don't want to be in unions.

00:57:38.000 So the left wants to make sure that the union basically card check means everyone knows how you voted.

00:57:43.000 No private vote.

00:57:44.000 And they say that's to protect the worker from the intimidating corporate overlord.

00:57:48.000 But really it's the intimidating union.

00:57:50.000 You can't fine someone corrupt in the Teamsters.

00:57:53.000 What do you think will happen here if they want to get rid of police unions?

00:57:56.000 Because then there has to be some kind of a vote or bureaucratic process with card check. 0.84

00:58:00.000 They really have their balls in a twister. 0.51

00:58:03.000 They do. 0.99

00:58:03.000 There is this great thing we can count on, which is the left's incompetence. 0.99

00:58:08.000 That's the one saving grace that we've got here.

00:58:12.000 We could end up in a world where after all of this insanity, it actually all backfires on the left and we do really well, but we've got to play it smart here.

00:58:20.000 One thing that I think maybe some Republicans are messing up right now is you've got this moment where cities are literally on fire Unions are very unpopular, cops themselves actually pretty popular, and for some reason, I don't know why, conservatives are attacking Joe Biden for being tough on crime.

00:58:38.000 They are like trying to grab defeat from the jaws of victory.

00:58:42.000 This is the one time saying, no, Trump is tough on crime, Joe Biden is not even alive anymore, practically, and he'll go weak on crime.

00:58:49.000 And yet, for some reason, we're making the totally wrong argument.

00:58:52.000 No, I think you're right.

00:58:54.000 I think there's some validity in saying, hey, Joe Biden, if you really believe this, why did you not do anything for the first 50 years of your life, but you actually did the opposite and then move on your merry way?

00:59:05.000 But yeah, there is a little bit.

00:59:06.000 It does bother me sometimes where you see, and you don't see this so much from Trump necessarily or his administration, but from some of his supporters, Where they focus more on the gotcha than... You can hit a gotcha, right?

00:59:16.000 That's a jab, then move on with something else.

00:59:18.000 You know, do some footwork here, and let people know where you're coming from.

00:59:21.000 And instead, they keep focusing on the gotcha.

00:59:23.000 Yeah, but... Was it 72% we just talked about of Americans who want to send in the National Guard?

00:59:28.000 Focus on that!

00:59:29.000 Do that.

00:59:30.000 That's the thing to do, you know.

00:59:32.000 And you make a great point here on Biden, which is Biden's whole campaign is, yes, we're so close to making change and progress.

00:59:39.000 And you say, well, you were the vice president for eight years.

00:59:42.000 You were a senator for 830 years.

00:59:44.000 I mean, you've been truly over half a century in politics.

00:59:48.000 You didn't do it then, you can't do it now.

00:59:49.000 If Trump makes this argument and says, look, I've been in politics for three years now, four years.

00:59:54.000 I've accomplished more in that time and more good stuff in that time than any of my predecessors.

00:59:59.000 Re-elect me at this moment of chaos and uncertainty and we'll get some more good stuff.

01:00:03.000 That's a winning message.

01:00:04.000 The guy could win, you know, 50 states almost.

01:00:07.000 I think you're right.

01:00:07.000 And what really disturbs me most about Joe Biden is I imagine he was breastfed very late.

01:00:13.000 He just gives me that vibe, you know, of a guy who just, like, you know, he had some baby bottle tooth decay because he couldn't get rid of bitty, like, even when he was six. 0.99

01:00:20.000 So I don't know why, and you would think that would help with the neurogenesis, you know, and the B vitamins and all that stuff, but apparently it just makes you a demented old retard. 1.00

01:00:31.000 They talk about childhood trauma here, and they'll say, when Joe Biden can't finish a sentence, or when he rambles on, they'll say, no, it's not because he's slipping, it's because of his childhood stutter.

01:00:42.000 You say, okay, I don't know whether or not he had a childhood stutter, but I do know the guy has been in politics since the 70s, and for some reason we're only hearing this stutter, or whatever it is now, I think it has more to do with the decline than the childhood.

01:00:54.000 Hey, Joe Biden falls down a well, gets a stutter.

01:00:57.000 Kicked by a mule, it goes back.

01:00:59.000 I don't know.

01:01:01.000 It is remarkable to me, yeah, that Joe Biden has been in politics for so many, I mean, I don't think this guy has ever signed the front of a check.

01:01:08.000 So when people talk about how tone-deaf Americans are with the black community's grievances, and that may be true of a lot of white Americans, I'm willing to agree that we can discuss that. 0.93

01:01:20.000 But could there be anyone more tone-deaf, for example, to business owners or people who are protesting the ability to go back and make a living than someone who has suckled at the government teat since, is it 28 years old or 26 with Joe Biden?

01:01:32.000 Right.

01:01:33.000 I mean, Joe Biden, I think he was 1972 or somewhere around there when he gets elected for the first time, and he never stops.

01:01:39.000 You know, that's his whole career.

01:01:41.000 And I think you make a good point, too, on separating legitimate grievances from imaginary grievances.

01:01:48.000 Right.

01:01:48.000 Because obviously, look, there is a race problem in America that's kind of baked in.

01:01:52.000 They were complaining about this evil institution of slavery in the Declaration of Independence.

01:01:57.000 It's not as though we're the first people to realize this is a problem, right?

01:02:00.000 Our founding fathers realized it, too.

01:02:02.000 And so how are we responding?

01:02:03.000 Well, one way is HBO Max is canceling Gone with the Wind.

01:02:07.000 Gone with the Wind, an actual important moment in race relations where a black actress wins

01:02:11.000 an Academy Award.

01:02:13.000 How are we reacting to it now?

01:02:14.000 You've got people pulling down statues of Christopher Columbus.

01:02:17.000 Last I checked, Christopher Columbus wasn't the pinnacle of racial problems in America, right?

01:02:23.000 Last I checked, he landed in the Caribbean.

01:02:25.000 Any crimes you want to even accuse him of would be against Native Americans, not against black Americans.

01:02:30.000 But I think the reason they go after it is that this is not about George Floyd, this is not about Black Lives Mattering, no matter what that radical organization says.

01:02:37.000 This is about an attack on Western civilization.

01:02:40.000 Columbus is the symbol of Western civilization, and we have to wake up to that threat before we lose our whole culture.

01:02:46.000 I think that's a very good point, and Columbus, one hell of a scalper.

01:02:49.000 Let's go to the WebExtended at livewithcreditor.com.

01:02:53.000 Of course, it is the Michael Knowles Show at Daily Wire and available wherever you can get audio podcasts.

01:02:58.000 It is fantastic.

01:02:58.000 He's a very, very well-read gentleman.

01:03:01.000 Let's go!

01:03:01.000 Go! Web Extended! If you're not a member, you don't get to listen!

01:03:03.000 Now the only way out... is to...

01:03:05.000 ...

01:03:17.000 What a complete disaster.

01:03:19.000 Excuse me, did you just blow in from dressed like a spazville? 1.00

01:03:21.000 our other channel, Crowdervents.

01:03:43.000 Now you're ready to fight the man in style.

01:03:46.000 Louder With Crowder merch makes these two slobs look better. 1.00

01:03:52.000 Get your louder with Crowder gear at louder with Crowder shop.com and cover your disgusting body. 1.00

01:03:58.000 That was Michael Knowles of the Michael Knowles show.

01:04:13.000 We went to WebEx and we talked a lot about cigars, which, by the way, he did have to pre-tape that interview, which means I had to wear this outfit twice.

01:04:20.000 And we talked about my favorite cigar, and people were like, look, I took the band off.

01:04:25.000 I broke cigar etiquette, because you'll never know.

01:04:30.000 He's just rubbing it in now.

01:04:33.000 Oh, the cigar!

01:04:34.000 I'll have to get the recipe from Liz.

01:04:37.000 Name that movie line.

01:04:38.000 So I will see you next week.

01:04:40.000 Monday morning, of course, we'll be doing Good Morning Mug Club.

01:04:42.000 I want to talk about a few things this next week.

01:04:43.000 I want to talk about the protests, how they relate to the, I guess you would say, the birth and the evolution of Dirty Harry and Death Wish, and particularly the 68 Olympics with the Black Fist, Black Power. 0.85

01:04:54.000 There's a forgotten portion of that story.

01:04:57.000 I've logged into Amazon now and you see Black Pride everywhere.

01:04:59.000 Yeah, it's on every website.

01:05:01.000 Selma, Only Peace, Roots, and then that 68 is what I think it's called.

01:05:04.000 There's a documentary on the 68 Olympics, the two guys at the podium, what was his name, Schultz?

01:05:09.000 I forgot.

01:05:11.000 Holding Up Their Fist.

01:05:11.000 And then there was another documentary about it on HBO.

01:05:15.000 And none of them really.

01:05:16.000 Maybe they glossed over it.

01:05:18.000 I didn't watch both of them in their entire day.

01:05:19.000 I did watch one.

01:05:20.000 But we'll talk about that next week.

01:05:22.000 That's mornings, of course.

01:05:24.000 We put a half hour on YouTube and an hour on Mug Club.

01:05:27.000 So, you know, you get an extra whole hour.

01:05:29.000 You get a half hour here on YouTube.

01:05:31.000 And it's the only way we can continue to make a living, especially when you look at the rules with YouTube and the grievances, some of which have been sent to us.

01:05:40.000 That are considered offensive.

01:05:41.000 Just so you know, on YouTube you are no longer allowed to express that you shouldn't put a child on puberty blockers at six years old.

01:05:47.000 And you cannot express the point of view that we shouldn't view immigration through the prism of race, but through the prism of shared values and ideas.

01:05:55.000 That's a problem with the folks at Big Tech.

01:05:56.000 We have some developments coming there.

01:05:58.000 Bill's not in the room anymore.

01:06:02.000 Someone say something so I can puff this before I go to my... I don't know what you're talking about.

01:06:06.000 Say something.

01:06:08.000 Something.

01:06:09.000 You're so good.

01:06:10.000 So good.

01:06:11.000 That's a chocolatey one, right?

01:06:14.000 Snickerdoodle one.

01:06:15.000 Yeah, it tasted a little bit like a Snickerdoodle.

01:06:16.000 The other one I had that tasted like Cocoa Pebbles turned out it was because I was sitting in the shop for five years.

01:06:22.000 So I bought a box that tasted nothing like it.

01:06:25.000 And I was very disappointed.

01:06:26.000 So it's like a curing factor there?

01:06:27.000 That one tasted like Count Chocula.

01:06:29.000 Yeah, yeah, it is.

01:06:31.000 By the way, Chale Sun and I ordered some cereal with your promo code, so you owe me, buddy.

01:06:37.000 I wanted to talk about something here today because a lot of people have been asking.

01:06:40.000 My wife is still in the hospital so I think we talked about it Monday.

01:06:44.000 She had a procedure and then she came out of it and they thought it was GBS and then they didn't think it was GBS and then it turns out that it is and she's been getting treatment with an IV at the hospital and she'll be there you know she was supposed to be out she was supposed to be out Saturday then Sunday and then Wednesday and now Friday hopefully so sweetheart I'm looking forward to having you home.

01:07:02.000 It's been It's been a little difficult, but especially right now, it's the craziest time in our country.

01:07:10.000 So anyway, that's completely irrelevant.

01:07:12.000 I just felt like I owed you an update, and I don't owe you... What do you want from me?! !

01:07:17.000 So anyway, I was just listening to... I hate to say this because, yeah, I watch CNN and I watch MSNBC and I read all these... Oh, I thought you were going to say 6ix9ine. 0.78

01:07:26.000 Takashi 6ix9ine? 0.98

01:07:27.000 Don't get me started.

01:07:27.000 You have the pink hair.

01:07:28.000 I do have the pink hair.

01:07:29.000 I'm close.

01:07:30.000 I'm almost there.

01:07:30.000 You just have to say the N-word repeatedly and for some reason you get a free pass.

01:07:33.000 Yeah, I need to say the N-word and I need all the tattoos on my face.

01:07:35.000 But I do watch sometimes the Young Turks.

01:07:37.000 I don't watch or listen to any conservative sources because I want to be informed as to what the other side is saying. 0.83

01:07:42.000 And Anna Kasparian, This is the thing, when people say you're using an extreme example to make a point, I try to avoid doing the, well, Republicans say this because they hate blacks, you know, or Donald Trump is denying that his tweets are racist and they're racist.

01:07:57.000 Well, show the tweet.

01:07:58.000 Well, show what Republicans are saying.

01:07:59.000 That's what we try to show them when we do these clips.

01:08:02.000 And this is going to get to a close where hopefully it'll help all of us because I do think the country needs healing.

01:08:08.000 I don't think that it needs healing from systemic oppression and racism, but I do think it needs some healing.

01:08:12.000 I thought we were going to have more healing than we do right now with a black president. 1.00

01:08:15.000 I thought that would be the silver lining that white people overwhelmingly elected Barack Obama president.

01:08:21.000 Even though he was a guy who made sure that our money went to funding abortion overseas, even though he made us less safe, even though he made sure we had fewer dollars in our pockets and fewer choices in the free market economy, I thought, well, the one silver lining is at least people will understand that the ceiling has been totally lifted.

01:08:39.000 Most powerful office in not only the land, but the globe. 0.72

01:08:41.000 Black guy. 0.95

01:08:43.000 I think we all thought that, right? 0.91

01:08:44.000 Yeah.

01:08:47.000 When we were going into that election, and when he got elected, it seemed like everybody was, we're gonna bring it together, everybody's gonna be brothers and stuff, and change, right?

01:08:57.000 That was his slogan.

01:08:58.000 It was all change.

01:08:59.000 It ended up being change, but in the negative light.

01:09:02.000 It ended up being change.

01:09:04.000 Pocket change!

01:09:04.000 That's all I got left.

01:09:06.000 But then I saw Anna Kasparian saying, not nice, don't say that audio, Wade.

01:09:09.000 It was terrible. 0.97

01:09:10.000 And it's exacerbated by this gay K-pop jacket. 0.97

01:09:16.000 You need to try and be comfortable with this and be vulnerable with these clothes. 0.99

01:09:20.000 So, Ana Kasparian at The Young Turks said that officers are hunting down and killing black people just because they're black. 0.99

01:09:28.000 That's what she said. 0.99

01:09:28.000 She said, that's what they're doing. 0.99

01:09:30.000 And they agreed at that.

01:09:31.000 Agreed on that.

01:09:31.000 And that's echoed typically, but at places like CNN and MSNBC, they, they allude to it.

01:09:35.000 This was actually said in The Young Turks.

01:09:36.000 And then later, she said something to the effect of, um, I think I wrote it down.

01:09:39.000 Yeah. 0.95

01:09:40.000 Well, for people to say that officers, she was saying, well, for people to say that officers shoot more white people than black people, so everything's fine. 1.00

01:09:45.000 You can say that, but that's a stupid argument. 1.00

01:09:46.000 Hold on a second. 1.00

01:09:47.000 Hold on a second.

01:09:47.000 This is important.

01:09:48.000 And this is why we don't just make arguments for people.

01:09:51.000 We let them make their own arguments.

01:09:52.000 No one is making that argument. 0.86

01:09:55.000 No one is saying officers shoot more whites than blacks, which is true, therefore everything is fine. 1.00

01:10:01.000 No. 0.96

01:10:01.000 First part, true. 0.96

01:10:04.000 Especially when you take into account the percentages of crime committed when you look at statistics and you divide them based on race, which is what you folks do.

01:10:13.000 And so we have to respond to misleading statistics.

01:10:17.000 So no one is making the claim that, well, more whites are shot than blacks.

01:10:20.000 True. 0.73

01:10:21.000 Therefore, everything is fine. 0.99

01:10:22.000 What people are saying in response to this argument that people like the Young Turks and people like Jake Tapper and people like Anderson Cooper make, Their argument, which is that officers are hunting down and killing black people just because they're black. 0.98

01:10:36.000 What we're saying is that's inaccurate because officers actually shoot more white people. 0.91

01:10:42.000 We're not saying, therefore it's fine.

01:10:44.000 We're saying, no, no, no, no, no.

01:10:45.000 You were saying that officers are going out and lynching people.

01:10:49.000 In a way that is legalized modern day.

01:10:51.000 And we're saying that's inaccurate.

01:10:52.000 Here's a stat that shows that's inaccurate.

01:10:55.000 No one is saying everything is fine.

01:10:57.000 We are responding to an argument that holds no water.

01:11:01.000 And the reason it matters is that if we're going to have a conversation Because people have said, what are you going to talk about?

01:11:05.000 When are you going to have this conversation about race?

01:11:07.000 If we're going to have a conversation that is needed, and it is needed about police reform, how do we improve the situation?

01:11:13.000 What do we do?

01:11:13.000 How do we go about that?

01:11:14.000 The conversation cannot be predicated on the lie that, well, we need police reform, and we're going to start with the jumping off point that police are hunting down black people and killing them because of the color of their skin. 0.94

01:11:26.000 That is not what is happening. 0.93

01:11:28.000 That's the point of that argument.

01:11:31.000 And that, again, if you're a little bit inaccurate, let's say when you shoot a target at 6 feet, you're really inaccurate the further you get from there.

01:11:38.000 If you're at 60 feet, and if we're starting with an inaccuracy, then it's a modern-day lynching and it's condoned by the government, the conversation is never going to be fruitful.

01:11:45.000 On to the bigger point, though, here.

01:11:47.000 I'm so concerned, and I mean this... I'm not concerned.

01:11:51.000 This is just delicious.

01:11:52.000 It's going to be fantastic for an hour and a half.

01:11:53.000 I am so concerned.

01:11:55.000 That we are going to see more racists than ever because of these protests.

01:12:01.000 And not only because of these riots, and not only because of the media, but because specifically of how big tech has reacted by supporting the movement and silencing voices of dissent.

01:12:12.000 That is, to me, is terrifying.

01:12:14.000 Why?

01:12:14.000 Well, okay, you can look at these riots, and you can look at the looting, and you can look at the murder of over 20 people right now, I don't know what it was, it was 20 on Tuesday, including officers David Dorn, Patrick Underwood, who were black, you can look at 400 serious, critical injuries, many of them, to other officers, billions of dollars likely we'll find out in property damage, and what do you hear?

01:12:34.000 Black lives matter!

01:12:37.000 That's the backdrop to everything.

01:12:39.000 So you look at all of this, And young people are looking at this and they say, ooh, that's a problem.

01:12:47.000 And then they have to come to the conclusion that A, it's entirely attributable to race because you keep yelling out Black Lives Matter, or B, and this is what I want young people to see and understand, this is a problem that stems from people who don't share the same ideas and values.

01:13:04.000 It's a problem of ideas, of morals, of principle.

01:13:07.000 They've got to pick A or B, though.

01:13:08.000 Is this a problem of race, which is the same argument that's made, ironically, from both Black Lives Matter and white supremacists, or is it a problem of unshared values, and I choose the latter?

01:13:20.000 And that's why I've gotten a lot of flack from actual white supremacists, because I don't capitulate to what they want there.

01:13:28.000 I don't believe that it's a problem that has to do with race.

01:13:31.000 Here's the problem, though.

01:13:32.000 If you do choose the former, whether you're a white supremacist or Black Lives Matter, if you say, well, this is a problem because I keep hearing Black Lives Matter, it's a problem due to race, there is no way to not line up on one side or the other at the end of this, which will be some kind of a race war. 0.66

01:13:49.000 Huge.

01:13:51.000 And I mean a race war the kind of which we've never seen before.

01:13:54.000 So when you have places like YouTube and Google and Twitter and Facebook that say it's a problem,

01:14:00.000 you know, listen, it's no secret we went through the Vox Apocalypse.

01:14:03.000 I think a lot of people don't know what the grievances necessarily were because we didn't

01:14:05.000 violate guidelines.

01:14:07.000 One of the problems was, did you know this?

01:14:09.000 Something I said at the Oscar stream where I pointed to the—I don't remember, it might

01:14:13.000 have been Patricia Arquette, I have no idea.

01:14:14.000 I said, see, that's a rich, white, elitist, Hollywood liberal spouting the same kind of

01:14:20.000 socialist message as a Honduran who has no business being here, they're here illegally, 1.00

01:14:24.000 then they vote in socialized healthcare, they vote in for a system that broke their country.

01:14:29.000 It's because of people.

01:14:31.000 They can be rich, white, Hollywood elite liberals or illegal immigrants who do not share the values of this country that are determined by the Constitution. 0.99

01:14:40.000 And that can destroy any country from within.

01:14:43.000 Think about that.

01:14:45.000 If you have no way of documenting who's coming into a country, in or out, regardless of race, we can say this with Swedes if there was a problem. 1.00

01:14:53.000 If they wanted to bring in Swedish policy, I would be absolutely pissed.

01:14:58.000 They just don't happen to physically be south of the border.

01:15:02.000 The problem is with unshared values.

01:15:03.000 If I were to say that can spread and people come in and you can't keep track of it, and then they subvert the American way of life, liberty, life, pursuit of happiness.

01:15:11.000 And I come from Canada where that's not the case.

01:15:12.000 I come from Canada where I easily could be jailed for some of the things that I've said on this show.

01:15:16.000 It's like I'm describing a virus, something that grows, something that rots.

01:15:23.000 And the same thing can be said about right now.

01:15:25.000 Rioting.

01:15:26.000 Looting.

01:15:27.000 Kneel.

01:15:27.000 Violence.

01:15:28.000 Check your privilege.

01:15:29.000 And people go, what is this?

01:15:31.000 Black lives matter!

01:15:32.000 Black lives matter!

01:15:33.000 And you go, well, hold on a second.

01:15:34.000 I want to listen to you.

01:15:36.000 A Drew Brees or a Terry Crews.

01:15:37.000 Well, you know what?

01:15:39.000 Let's see what we can have together.

01:15:40.000 Let's see if we can have a conversation together.

01:15:42.000 No!

01:15:43.000 No!

01:15:45.000 How dare you?

01:15:46.000 Check your privilege!

01:15:47.000 Well, I'm trying to... Okay, I'll just be silent.

01:15:50.000 Be an ally!

01:15:53.000 And when you say that those points of view, the view, the basic bitch conservative view that I've just expressed, that it should be about ideas, and we need to be very clear about the ideas here in the United States and the values, and what ideas are not welcome, when you say that that is not permissible on the big three, Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, what do you think happens to all the people out there who agree with that?

01:16:16.000 An anti-racist message.

01:16:20.000 You ban them from the public square?

01:16:22.000 Where do they go?

01:16:22.000 They go into the alleyways.

01:16:25.000 They run into the arms of people saying black lives matter in the streets, and they're burning down streets. 0.92

01:16:30.000 Someone in Minneapolis, let me give you an analogy, $25 million in property damage that we knew of last Thursday in Minneapolis alone, right?

01:16:37.000 Violence, people killed, officers hurt.

01:16:39.000 Someone's trying to get home because maybe they're a frontline hero, a nurse, right?

01:16:43.000 These people who you used to love.

01:16:44.000 And they work downtown, they're trying to get home.

01:16:46.000 They can't go through the street because it's blocked, just like they're blocking fire trucks from protecting businesses and children in houses.

01:16:53.000 You go, oh my God, I can't go here.

01:16:54.000 Black Lives Matter!

01:16:56.000 Black Lives— With torches and pitchforks coming down violence, they're claiming that's representative of black Americans. 0.68

01:17:01.000 I'll get to why that's not the case.

01:17:03.000 Unfortunately, the media wants to echo it right now and amplify it.

01:17:05.000 And someone goes, oh, oh, I can't, I can't go back.

01:17:08.000 It's blocked.

01:17:09.000 The angry mob of Black Lives Matter.

01:17:10.000 And what happens?

01:17:11.000 They go into an alleyway with someone in a swastika tattoo.

01:17:14.000 They say, hey, we'll keep you safe.

01:17:18.000 That's what happens when you don't allow reason or dissenting opinions that you should want out there, specifically anti-racist opinions, because you view them as controversial.

01:17:30.000 And let me tell you something else.

01:17:32.000 The antidote to this is understanding your own human interactions.

01:17:38.000 Let me explain this to you.

01:17:39.000 That's why I brought it up.

01:17:39.000 My wife is in the hospital.

01:17:40.000 She's been in the hospital.

01:17:41.000 She's had some great doctors, some not so great doctors.

01:17:44.000 Most of the nurses have been fantastic.

01:17:45.000 And when I say not so great doctors, they may be great medical practitioners, but not a great bedside manner.

01:17:49.000 They can make you, if you don't know what GBS is, they can make you really scared in describing the worst case scenario and not being empathetic.

01:17:55.000 But there is a lady who I want to thank, who's been my wife's most recent nurse for a couple of days, and she is a ray of sunshine, and everyone in my family, and every visitor, by the way, Who of course does not support the riots or Black Lives Matter. 0.76

01:18:16.000 Can't say enough good things about the woman.

01:18:20.000 You're not going to see it because I just recorded so you just see my shoe because I want you to hear the kind of interactions that we have.

01:18:25.000 Brightened my day.

01:18:26.000 I hope it brightens yours.

01:18:27.000 Sometimes it was like an 84.

01:18:31.000 We really would like for it to be a... Yes!

01:18:34.000 Kick your leg across my head. 1.00

01:18:36.000 I don't know why you got your leg across my head here. 0.99

01:18:39.000 You don't want to kick your leg across when you're around this man.

01:18:46.000 When you get home, you're not going to cross your legs.

01:18:48.000 That's what you ask for so you can put your knees together.

01:18:51.000 Yeah.

01:18:52.000 You know, when you get home, you're not going to cross your knees.

01:18:55.000 Oh my God!

01:18:56.000 I'm so glad.

01:18:57.000 I've been down like you, baby.

01:18:59.000 Thank you, Mama.

01:19:02.000 I'll see y'all later.

01:19:03.000 Bye.

01:19:04.000 Bye.

01:19:05.000 And her name, by the way, I can't call her.

01:19:07.000 It's Mama.

01:19:08.000 I said, what should I call, do you want me to call you Mama?

01:19:09.000 She goes, don't you call me by anything else!

01:19:12.000 You call me by something, we gonna have some problems!

01:19:14.000 Ah, I'm just kidding!

01:19:15.000 Your wife is my best patient.

01:19:17.000 She's my best, I tell everybody, she's my best patient.

01:19:20.000 Sometimes, you want your wife to take a nap? 1.00

01:19:22.000 She's doing laps all the time, trying to get around on her walker.

01:19:25.000 That's cool, but I want her to take a nap, because she exhausting. 1.00

01:19:28.000 I'm kidding, she's my best patient.

01:19:30.000 I love your wife.

01:19:32.000 We need more of that.

01:19:34.000 Every single person who interacted with it, by the way, hint, lady of color. 1.00

01:19:39.000 This was a joy to be around this person.

01:19:43.000 A joy to the entire room.

01:19:45.000 Why?

01:19:46.000 Because she was black? 1.00

01:19:47.000 No! 0.93

01:19:48.000 Okay, let's be honest.

01:19:50.000 We're not colorblind.

01:19:51.000 The cadence, the expressions, calling her mama, not typical of white folks. 0.96

01:19:56.000 There is something funny there, just like my mother's French-Canadian accent is endearing to most.

01:20:00.000 So you don't have to be colorblind, and you don't have to view people exclusively as the sum of their race.

01:20:06.000 But she was a breath of fresh air.

01:20:08.000 Why? 0.88

01:20:08.000 Not because she was black. 0.88

01:20:10.000 And she didn't love my wife as a patient because she was white. 1.00

01:20:14.000 She was a breath of fresh air, and she is.

01:20:16.000 I'm going to probably see her after this.

01:20:17.000 Because she's compassionate.

01:20:19.000 She's attentive.

01:20:21.000 She listened.

01:20:22.000 And you know what?

01:20:23.000 Those are actions.

01:20:25.000 And actions are a manifestation of character.

01:20:28.000 And character is shaped by values.

01:20:31.000 If people are upset about the state of America, if people feel like it's more fractured than ever, if we No, we do.

01:20:39.000 We need to seek some way to find common ground.

01:20:43.000 Not on evil.

01:20:43.000 You don't find common ground with evil, but I don't believe that all political opponents are evil.

01:20:46.000 But if we are at a place where we want to find common ground to achieve unity, it will never be possible to unify on the color of one's skin.

01:20:58.000 It can't be done.

01:21:01.000 The only way to unify is through values and ideas.

01:21:05.000 And the greatest of those—sorry, I know I'll offend the hip-edgy atheists in the YouTube comments section—the greatest of those is love.

01:21:14.000 Now, the other side of that coin is justice.

01:21:17.000 It's not black or white.

01:21:18.000 It's not yellow or black.

01:21:20.000 It's not red or black.

01:21:21.000 Sorry, First Nations are black. 1.00

01:21:22.000 It's about love and justice and keeping those in mind in your personal interactions and the solutions that we keep in our minds and hearts as we move forward. 0.68

01:21:32.000 If you think of it as white and black.

01:21:34.000 Black Lives Matter!

01:21:35.000 Black Lives Matter!

01:21:37.000 White Pride! 0.96

01:21:38.000 White Pride! 0.96

01:21:39.000 Two sides of the same coin.

01:21:41.000 We can never unify.

01:21:43.000 We can never heal.

01:21:45.000 Don't buy into it.

01:21:46.000 Don't feel guilty for not buying into it.

01:21:49.000 Because buying into it is wrong and evil.

01:21:51.000 See you next week, Monday morning, 10 a.m.
