00:00:00.000 Well, folks, apparently algebra is Jew magic. 1.00
00:00:05.000 At some point, I will be forced to believe that Tucker is actually trying to create a coalition of the retarded as an actual political project. 1.00
00:00:13.000 Apparently, some people find this entertaining or interesting or enlightening, but, you know, okay, fine.
00:00:18.000 I'm one of the people who finds it entertaining.
00:00:20.000 Okay, you got me.
00:00:21.000 You got me.
00:00:23.000 It's the best clip of the day.
00:00:25.000 All right.
00:00:25.000 It's just, here we go.
00:00:28.000 So he had on a human on his show.
00:00:32.000 I will admit that the identity of this human was not known to me.
00:00:36.000 It's a person named Jess Ellefsen, who is a welder, which is great.
00:00:41.000 Welders are awesome.
00:00:43.000 And as part of this discussion, because he is apparently an artist, is what Tucker says artists are the source of truth because truth is beauty.
00:00:53.000 They got into a conversation about the math.
00:00:58.000 The math.
00:01:01.000 And things got. 1.00
00:01:06.000 Every day, every day, new levels of retardation are reached. 1.00
00:01:09.000 Behold. 1.00
00:01:11.000 I've yet to encounter a single person in my life that uses algebra.
00:01:16.000 Actually, have you?
00:01:19.000 So, like, you, but you would know.
00:01:21.000 Yeah, but I mean, I live in a fake world.
00:01:25.000 That's why you use fake math with letters.
00:01:27.000 Congratulations to everybody out there in the Matrix.
00:01:31.000 Good job. 1.00
00:01:31.000 You're good little goy slaves. 1.00
00:01:33.000 That's amazing. 1.00
00:01:35.000 So, you, you.
00:01:37.000 Didn't get an answer because I've never considered this, by the way.
00:01:39.000 It never even entered my mind.
00:01:41.000 I was too dyslexic to take any math, so I got a pass on math.
00:01:45.000 But, or whatever they said, I didn't have to take math, so I never took math.
00:01:49.000 But I didn't get to the point where I wasn't reflective or open minded enough to ask the obvious question why are there letters?
00:01:55.000 And nobody took that question seriously.
00:01:59.000 Why are there letters?
00:02:00.000 I mean, I'm not saying there shouldn't be letters.
00:02:01.000 There shouldn't be letters.
00:02:02.000 Why are there letters at all?
00:02:04.000 Why do letters exist in math?
00:02:05.000 I mean, like they say it's a variable, but what is variable?
00:02:09.000 What is math?
00:02:09.000 Why does math exist?
00:02:11.000 Why do we use letters?
00:02:12.000 Has anyone ever thought?
00:02:14.000 They won't even let you ask.
00:02:16.000 You ask and they say you're stupid, you're stupid, but what even, I mean, who, who, who is behind this crusade?
00:02:27.000 And it is a crusade to put letters in our math problems, in our precious math problems.
00:02:35.000 Who is doing this?
00:02:36.000 Why are there letters in words even?
00:02:38.000 Why do we even write?
00:02:39.000 Why do we write?
00:02:40.000 I mean, words are made of sounds.
00:02:42.000 I know that.
00:02:43.000 You know that.
00:02:43.000 We all know that.
00:02:44.000 I mean, I can't prove it, but words are made of sounds.
00:02:47.000 Why do we even write them down?
00:02:49.000 Isn't that just a perversion?
00:02:51.000 Isn't that getting us away from truth?
00:02:53.000 Who would do that?
00:02:54.000 Who would do that?
00:02:55.000 And you're right.
00:02:55.000 When we say that's goy slop, it is letters in math.
00:02:59.000 It's just goy slop. 0.99
00:03:00.000 I mean, I'm not saying it's the Jews. 1.00
00:03:03.000 I'm just saying that why would there be letters in our precious numbers? 0.83
00:03:08.000 And those numbers, you know, they come from Arabia.
00:03:11.000 What's that?
00:03:12.000 Which is why I love numbers.
00:03:13.000 I love numbers because they come from, but letters, letters, letters.
00:03:17.000 I mean, I'm not saying that letters are bad.
00:03:23.000 Things are going great.
00:03:25.000 Things are going great.
00:03:26.000 You have to be prepared for the future.
00:03:28.000 And you know, the thing that is definitely going to happen in the future?
00:03:30.000 I know it's going to get dark real fast.
00:03:32.000 You're going to die.
00:03:32.000 We're all going to die.
00:03:34.000 Now, how's that for a Tuesday?
00:03:35.000 But here is the thing you can prepare so that at least your family is taken care of in case, God forbid, something happens to you.

00:04:26.000 Tucker also suggested.
00:04:29.000 I don't know.
00:04:29.000 He's got to be in his bonnet about the idea that I got into Harvard Law through nefarious means.
00:04:34.000 Now, I will admit that I am not bright enough to have ever asked the question, because it's a question for retarded people. 1.00
00:04:43.000 Why are there letters in our precious algebra problems? 1.00
00:04:47.000 It has never occurred to me because a letter is just a substitution for a quantity we don't know.
00:04:54.000 That's what the variable is.
00:04:57.000 I mean, I guess I'm just not smart enough for that.
00:05:00.000 But according to Tucker, Who hasn't washed his hair in a good long while?
00:05:05.000 Apparently, I didn't get into Harvard Law on my IQ points, and he would know since he never took math.
00:05:13.000 He would know that.
00:05:14.000 I mean, first of all, why is IQ?
00:05:16.000 Why are we using letters like I and Q?
00:05:19.000 Why are we talking about IQ?
00:05:20.000 Shouldn't we be talking about the JQ?
00:05:26.000 Here we go.
00:05:30.000 One of my many theories, but the one I believe in most fervently, is that the meritocracy.
00:05:34.000 As practiced in the United States, it is not a meritocracy.
00:05:37.000 The promise is, you know, the system is going to locate the smartest people in the 50 states, funnel them through a certain number of approved schools and then into a certain number of approved businesses or government, and we're going to get good governance and a good country as a result.
00:05:51.000 And in fact, the opposite has happened. 0.97
00:05:53.000 The system is designed to exclude rather than include, exclude Christians, people with an independent cast of mind, creativity, you know, an awakened spirit, all of them, genius, all of them are excluded in favor of. 0.99
00:06:09.000 Hyper aggressive, selfish, small minded, cruel, compliant people.
00:06:14.000 And that's how you wind up with a system where Ben Shapiro gets into Harvard.
00:06:19.000 Like, how could Ben Shapiro?
00:06:20.000 I'm just like on IQ points, it's not possible.
00:06:29.000 Okay.
00:06:30.000 Now, me not be good at the math, but me think that it might have had something to do with the fact that I skipped two grades, have an IQ over 150, graduated from Harvard Law School, come loud, UCLA summa cum laude, with a 3.85 GPA and a 176 LSAT score, and a published book by the time I was 20 and a syndicated national column.
00:06:55.000 Maybe it was those things.
00:06:56.000 I mean, come on.
00:06:57.000 Okay, fine.
00:06:58.000 I'm being a jerk.
00:06:59.000 I get it, but like, ugh.
00:07:04.000 It is a mystery.
00:07:04.000 It is a mystery wrapped in enigma.
00:07:06.000 And it will only be uncovered by a man who dips his head in lard every morning and then goes and does a show where he explains that Harvard Law isn't letting in our great artists and geniuses who don't know why there are the letters in the numbers.
00:07:25.000 Why are there the letters in the numbers?
00:07:33.000 And maybe I'm underestimating, Tucker.
00:07:34.000 Maybe the goal here is a revolution of the idiots.
00:07:38.000 Maybe that's the actual goal.
00:07:39.000 If you unite all the idiots about you and then you charge the castle, then perhaps there are more idiots than there are smart people.
00:07:44.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
00:07:46.000 Wasn't that amazing?

00:07:55.000 Every significant movement in history has started with protesting.
00:07:57.000 You're a traitor.
00:07:58.000 Uncle Tom.
00:07:59.000 This is our generation's civil rights.
00:08:00.000 I have no idea what the protest is.
00:08:02.000 Bingo!
00:08:03.000 Given the current climate, should a figure as polarizing as Clay Saunders even be allowed on campus?
00:08:08.000 Ah, can you hear me okay?
00:08:10.000 Saunders is a close personal friend of Chancellor Friedman.
00:08:12.000 This is a decision I cannot fight. 1.00
00:08:14.000 Islam will conquer the West. 1.00
00:08:15.000 Assalamualaikum. 1.00
00:08:20.000 Are we paying attention?
00:08:23.000 They've taken over the building.
00:08:24.000 They're downstairs and they've blocked the doors.
00:08:27.000 I seek forgiveness from Allah the Almighty.
00:08:31.000 We cannot run and Muhammad is the messenger of God. 0.54
00:08:36.000 There is no God but Allah. 0.90
00:08:39.000 What do you say? 0.99
00:08:41.000 He turned those SOBs into a fine red mist. 1.00
00:08:46.000 As we move, one man will cover while the other guys go. 1.00
00:08:49.000 They call that leapfrog.
00:08:50.000 Stretch them out and listen.
00:08:53.000 You need a course in safe weapons handling.
