It's just weathering when I won't let marry your own.
00:02:21.000
If we don't control insiders, this will be over and over.
00:02:26.000
To lead it by an 8 big, fat love, it's like common ground to hold the spread of lies.
00:02:37.000
Love, it's like common ground to hold the spread of lies.
00:02:49.000
We want to build a much better, believable people.
00:03:28.000
If we don't control insiders, this will be over and over.
00:03:46.000
To hold the spread of lies and paid observation protests continue across the country this evening, and we want you to know, of course, that though there are some individual protesters who are agitated, it is not the norm.
00:04:14.000
Many people look back at the demonstrations at Selma and wonder, what would I have done?
00:04:30.000
Now, Tanya, how would you describe the attitude on the ground there?
00:04:34.000
We go now live to our woman in the field, Tanya Franks.
00:04:38.000
Well, Chris, first I want to say that was inspiring.
00:04:40.000
As far as the attitude on the ground, you know, folks are entirely peaceful, but far from happy.
00:04:46.000
Just imagine if every day when you left home, you didn't know whether you'd be coming back.
00:04:52.000
Well, Tanya, in my line of work, that's always a possibility, but I know that many in the audience might not understand what that's like.
00:05:08.000
So, Tanya, what are the people on the ground saying there?
00:05:12.000
Yeah, we're going to burn this motherfucker down.
00:05:21.000
A fitting tribute to the memory of George Floyd, Chris.
00:05:28.000
Now, some people are asking, why is this happening now?
00:05:34.000
But there are still persistent and pervasive inequities in this country, and these protests are a reaction to that.
00:05:41.000
And aside from a string of isolated incidents, very small, things have been pretty peaceful, very tame.

It's Friday, which, you know, we always do a show Friday, 11 a.m. Eastern, as we do every day.
00:07:00.000
But this is more of a love letter to Mug Club, Rumble Premium.
00:07:04.000
And I know you might be seeing for the next 10 minutes watching, but isn't this for us too?
00:07:12.000
It's a little bit, you know, this is where if someone's going to pull a highlight reel to take us down, this would be a good place to start.
00:07:33.000
I don't feel good about the fact that I don't feel bad enough about it.
00:07:48.000
Yeah, I've been feeling really good for 30 years.
00:07:52.000
It's sort of, I guess it's one of our fortes: keeping our eyes.
00:07:57.000
Spoiler alert, if you're wondering for some, if you're wondering what the advice will be, don't charge officers and don't charge officers.
00:08:06.000
I don't know if you know this, but Canada actually said the quiet part out loud.
00:08:09.000
Their prime minister said they want to be a part of the new world order with Chickety China.
00:08:14.000
So they are, as far as I'm concerned, a national security threat.
00:08:26.000
And that is to my everlasting shame question of the day.
00:08:29.000
What's your favorite moment as far as the fail of these protesters in Minnesota right now?
00:08:42.000
My favorite part is when they get pepper sprayed or tear gassed, and then the only refuge they have is to get on the ground and their supporters will pour water on them and it soaks their entire body in eight-degree weather.
00:09:00.000
They should bring some milk, but they can't do that because, oh, no, no, whole milk is being made great again.
00:09:27.000
My favorite part of the Minneapolis riots and protests is black protesters protesting that the ICE officers are too damn thick.
00:09:37.000
Which, by the way, takes a significant degree of thickness for black people to protest.
00:09:46.000
Oh, I thought you were saying that they were too damn thick.
00:09:49.000
He's like, he can't protest because he's like, damn, she's thick.
00:09:56.000
That's a litmus test for me as to whether I'll protest or not is a level of tickness.
00:10:02.000
Sometimes I'll incorporate facets of dead Asto, but you know, these are technical terms.
00:10:12.000
You turn around, they go, whoa, God, I better quit.
00:10:20.000
If nature's kind, they'll take me in as one of their own.
00:10:26.000
I've been watching a tribe down by Lake Minneton.
00:10:37.000
The ACLU put together an all-star cast to fight for, and I know what you're thinking, ACLU, American Civil Liberties Union.
00:10:53.000
The ACLU has the all-star cast to fight for trans youth in sports.
00:11:01.000
When you're young, you believe that you can do anything.
00:11:04.000
And then the world tries to set limits for you.
00:11:10.000
But on the field, the track, the court, here, you get to be exactly who you are.
00:11:15.000
Because at our core, we're still the kids who just want to play the go-big game changers.
00:11:23.000
Supporting trans youth isn't just about sports, it's about freedom on and off the field.
00:11:30.000
That one guy, too, looked like it would be like if Xerxes had a baby with pedophile American hustle.
00:11:59.000
The one guy looked like a female player on SNL playing somebody in the Sopranos or something.
00:12:16.000
This is, it's the newest Marvel Avengers trailer.
00:12:20.000
When you're young, you believe that you can do anything.
00:12:23.000
And then the world tries to set limits for you.
00:12:29.000
But on the field, the track, the court, here, you get to be exactly who you are.
00:12:34.000
Because at our core, we're still the kids who just want to play the go big game changers.
00:12:42.000
Supporting trans youth isn't just about sports.
00:13:31.000
They said that no one was coming for your kids.
00:13:34.000
They often said, well, no one's talking about sports.
00:13:39.000
And if you're wondering where we all went wrong, I'll give you my opinion.
00:13:48.000
Do you look back and go, oof, yeah, I guess that is kind of, that was a watershed moment where we just said men and women are not really important.
00:13:56.000
Anyone can do anything, whether you're male, female.
00:13:58.000
Well, now you've just eliminated the lines of biological sex and gender to the point where, ah, two dads, ah, two moms, a daughter, or a son, whatever he wants.
00:14:08.000
And sure, my son slash is a daughter can play sports.
00:14:16.000
I don't know if you remember this, when conservatives would be guilted when you would talk about same-sex marriage and you would talk about marriage laws.
00:14:21.000
And I think that people had reasonable arguments on both sides.
00:14:24.000
What was not reasonable is when they would compare it to interracial marriages.
00:14:28.000
They go, so you would have been, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:14:30.000
You want to compare an immutable characteristic to your preference of friction?
00:14:43.000
The left has, as a society, how do you undo that?
00:14:50.000
And I'm all out, especially as it relates to trunes.
00:15:05.000
Speak of which, could we show Gerald's shirt real quick?
00:15:28.000
I'm old enough to know who Vanilla Ice is, though, so I understand.
00:15:44.000
He hears dun He's like, this better not be under pressure.
00:15:55.000
Who, by the way, do we still have that side-by-side of Bowie yesterday, the Labyrinth?
00:16:20.000
I can see your nipples through your shirt, Gerald.
00:16:25.000
I saw his nipples looking hard as nibs could look.
00:16:48.000
I was still scared of that junk Muppet lady in the closet in the labyrinth.
00:16:54.000
Because you now took the other world and brought it into the real world where you're like, oh, they could live in my closet.
00:17:20.000
Ask yourself something right now when we're seeing these protests with ICE, these riots, these violent agitators.
00:17:41.000
Then, even if you agree with what they think they stand to gain, are the consequences worth it?
00:17:54.000
Are you willing to have a permanent criminal record for, in Minneapolis, a group of people who've defrauded you and stolen money from your children, as we've seen with Somalians in Minnesota?
00:18:06.000
It's really hard for me to see a logical case for this.
00:18:12.000
And I'm typically able to put myself in someone else's shoes, you know, usually men's sizes, even if they're a woman.
00:18:18.000
And I'm able to say, okay, I just, I don't, unless it's, you just hate this country.
00:18:23.000
And I've heard people say that we are actually the evil regime who need to be replaced, not Iran, not Venezuela.
00:18:33.000
Well, here's one person who actually, I guess, didn't take the time to ask those questions.
00:18:39.000
And this is how it ended up for him, his prize.
00:18:43.000
Well, can you tell us about your injuries now and the prognosis?
00:18:50.000
From what I've heard the doctors say and everyone else, yes, I will be blind for life.
00:19:00.000
My lower lid was cut up and they had to take skin from my temple to fix it.
00:19:08.000
I don't remember all the things that they said.
00:19:10.000
I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix and I can't sneeze or cough because it's dangerous too.
00:19:16.000
I remember also when I shot, there was pepper in it and I had pepper down my throat.
00:19:23.000
And they pulled a piece of plastic size of a nickel out of my eye.
00:19:27.000
They said I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic all throughout my eye and behind my eye and in my skull.
00:19:35.000
And they also said that I had a piece of strapnometal about a few millimeters away from my carotid artery.
00:19:40.000
And they said it was a miracle I survived because if it got any closer, if it hit that, I would have died that night.
