The Culture War - Tim Pool - Leftist Legal Observers Scam EXPOSED, Leftists Are Using ADVANCED Tactics In MN ft. Amber Duke

00:00:00.640 At work, the coffee truck's coffee has only ever been described in one way.

00:00:06.080 Bitter. Like Monday morning bitter.

00:00:08.940 And though it's the same truck, same cup, same stir sticks,

00:00:13.080 after so many hours in physio, that cup of coffee is never tasted sweeter.

00:00:19.100 Welcome back to the things you didn't know you'd miss.

00:00:22.900 Visit wsib.ca to learn how we're here to help

00:00:26.200 with wage replacement, retraining, medical care, and more.

00:00:30.300 Amber, how are you doing?

00:00:32.040 Hey, I'm doing great. Thanks for having me.

00:00:33.920 Of course. Well, I saw your Substack, which is an excellent Substack.

00:00:37.160 Everyone in the audience needs to go be reading.

00:00:39.240 If they want to really improve their IQ, if they want to IQ max,

00:00:42.020 they should be reading Amber Duke's Substack.

00:00:45.620 Your piece that you put up, I think it was yesterday, regarding the legal observers.

00:00:49.320 I mean, this is something that is driving a lot of, you know,

00:00:53.900 it sort of permits a lot of these leftists to agitate, to cause problems.

00:00:58.540 And it sort of ticks the protests into something else, where it's not just a protest,

00:01:02.960 it adds an extra element to it.

00:01:05.020 Could you maybe expand on, you know, your piece in regards to maybe familiarize the audience

00:01:10.740 with legal observers for those who aren't, and, you know, how this ties into the situation

00:01:14.940 that we saw in Minneapolis?

00:01:15.860 Yes, absolutely.

00:01:18.200 So the term legal observers, which the audience has probably seen being thrown around by a

00:01:23.600 bunch of mainstream media outlets and left-wing activists, comes from campus protests in the

00:01:28.840 1960s.

00:01:29.800 It was popularized by the National Lawyers Guild, which is a left-wing group.

00:01:35.500 And they fashioned this term to refer to essentially witnesses who would be on scene at protests

00:01:42.360 to film police and other officials, law enforcement officials, to make sure that they weren't basically

00:01:48.700 brutalizing the protesters.

00:01:50.520 This term was used again during the BLM riots and the anti-police brutality protests that we saw

00:02:03.040 about five to ten years ago.

00:02:06.340 And it's now being brought up again in context of the anti-ICE protests.

00:02:11.620 Now, the problem with the term is that it implies that these are people who have some kind of

00:02:17.680 training or credential and also some kind of special status that prevents them from facing

00:02:23.980 consequences for illegal actions.

00:02:27.980 These people are really just random protesters who pull out their phone and record.

00:02:33.240 There's nothing special about them.

00:02:34.880 And a lot of the groups who are creating these so-called legal observers are actually encouraging

00:02:42.800 them to go beyond the act of filming and insert themselves in the situations, like in an ICE

00:02:50.480 immigration enforcement action or other federal law enforcement proceeding.

00:02:55.700 So, for example, the Minnesota Ice Watch group, of which Renee Good and her wife were allegedly

00:03:01.160 members, says on his Instagram that people need to basically extricate suspects from ICE custody,

00:03:09.540 that they need to use their bodies and their vehicles to obstruct law enforcement officials.

00:03:14.980 They need to be out there using whistles and bullhorns to try to distract and confuse the officers.

00:03:21.800 And they are not supposed to abide by legal and lawful commands to keep a clear area around

00:03:28.940 an active police scene, which is precisely why Renee Good was asked to get out of her vehicle,

00:03:36.700 because she was, one, obstructing, and two, not keeping a safe distance from an ICE enforcement

00:03:42.580 operation.

00:03:43.480 So when we see these people being pushed away from the scene as ICE agents are trying to arrest

00:03:48.200 somebody or detain somebody, well, they are allowed to do that.

00:03:51.960 A lot of states set that distance at 25 feet.

00:03:55.120 Minnesota does not have a specific distance that people have to stand away.

00:03:58.600 But it is clear in the law that if a uniformed officer or a law enforcement official tells you

00:04:04.320 to stand back or clear the scene, they are well within their rights to do that.

00:04:08.300 And if you don't comply and are disobeying that lawful order, then you can have physical

00:04:13.300 force used against you to actually remove you from the situation.

00:04:17.200 Yeah, it's really bizarre because I used to do some street journalism with a lot of Eliyahu, 0.98

00:04:22.900 obviously one of our correspondents here at Timcast.

00:04:24.740 And we would be on the streets of New York City.

00:04:27.240 I was running cameras for him.

00:04:28.640 So, you know, we were just documenting what was going on.

00:04:30.800 There was obviously a lot of protests, you know, a few years ago in New York City.

00:04:35.120 And I met these like National Lawyers Guild people and they wear these vests and everything.

00:04:41.160 And, you know, when you first see me coming in just completely bright eyed and bushy tailed,

00:04:44.360 I'm like, oh, that's, you know, interesting.

00:04:45.960 These people are here making sure everything's above board.

00:04:47.980 Right.

00:04:48.180 Like, foolishly, I was like, maybe these people are nonpartisan.

00:04:51.140 I don't know.

00:04:52.080 And then I found out very quickly that if they clock you as like conservative or just anyone

00:04:57.500 that's documenting what these radical leftist protesters are doing, they clock you as an

00:05:03.180 enemy, as sort of an opponent.

00:05:05.960 And so what would happen is when we were, you know, attempting to film like an arrest or

00:05:11.840 if we were, you know, trying to have a conversation with somebody specifically with conversations,

00:05:17.120 they would come up and they'd be like, these people are bad actors.

00:05:19.880 Don't talk to them.

00:05:20.820 Don't give them the time of day.

00:05:22.100 And so I see that and I'm like, I don't see much legal advice being disseminated here.

00:05:26.120 I just see you guys as like effectively trying to provide a module or what's the word I'm

00:05:32.560 looking for, a sense of credibility for these, you know, these protesters.

00:05:39.360 Where did these people, I mean, you broke it down.

00:05:42.820 Were these people ever like nonpartisan?

00:05:45.480 Were these people ever useful in any way?

00:05:47.240 Or was this quite literally just an apparatus set up by these leftist agitator groups?

00:05:51.520 Yeah, this was a way to protect people who were protesting.

00:05:56.240 But even from the very beginning, it was selective protection.

00:06:00.240 And it also was meant to obscure any illegal actions from the protesters.

00:06:04.780 So that's why they don't want actual independent observers or conservatives filming, because

00:06:09.540 they want to be able to slice and dice the footage in the way that is most beneficial to

00:06:13.960 the person that they are hoping to defend from from legal action taken against them if

00:06:20.120 they do break the law in terms of obstruction and getting involved in these precarious situations.

00:06:26.300 Yeah. So maybe you could outline.

00:06:29.620 Obviously, we've seen reporting that Renee Good and her wife are at least in correspondence with

00:06:35.140 with these these groups, these legal observer groups.

00:06:38.640 As it stands right now, is it safe to say that they certainly were at least in cahoots to some

00:06:43.400 degree? Well, do you know sort of at the Daily Caller what your guys is reporting is saying as far as the

00:06:47.620 connection between the group and obviously Renee Good and her wife?

00:06:50.780 Yeah, all that we have right now is there's a New York Post report where they have several

00:06:56.500 sources indicating that they were connected to that group.

00:06:59.700 And of course, the feds are trying to investigate Becca Good, her deceased wife, her connection

00:07:08.240 to those organizations, which the local police, by the way, are are very upset about because

00:07:13.460 they don't they don't want the FBI to be looking into, you know, potential ties to these domestic

00:07:21.620 unrest groups. But the Minnesota Ice Watch group has a lot of really fascinating stuff on their

00:07:27.540 Instagram page. In addition to what I already mentioned, they also have a Instagram post that

00:07:34.900 I found especially interesting in the context of our last conversation, which was about anti white

00:07:39.440 racism, where they actually tell specifically white members of the group to be the ones who

00:07:47.240 are, quote unquote, putting their bodies on the line to extricate suspects from police custody.

00:07:53.440 Now, I'm sure you can guess the explanation for that is that black people will be more likely to be 1.00

00:07:59.380 killed by the police if they decide to do that and put themselves in harm's way. And also, you know,

00:08:04.240 physical and emotional labor and all of that, blah, blah, blah, gobbledygook nonsense.

00:08:07.840 But when we look at it from a more objective perspective, they are actually telling white 0.99

00:08:13.840 people to sacrifice themselves on the altar of blackness, right? That white people need to be 1.00

00:08:19.300 the ones risking physical injury or catching federal charges to save black people. And of course,

00:08:25.560 the criminal illegal aliens from from from facing justice. And it's absolutely wild. There was another 0.88

00:08:33.700 post I found that I think you'll find fascinating, Tate, which is that in June of 2025, so six months

00:08:39.620 before this incident, about the Minnesota Ice Watch group posted a video of a protester confronting a

00:08:47.880 man who she claims hit her with his car. So this guy was in scrubs, looks like he was either on his way to

00:08:55.700 or home from, you know, some health care facility, possibly a hospital. They do not have a video of the

00:09:01.700 actual incident where the guy allegedly strikes the protester. But they do admit that they were standing in an

00:09:07.700 intersection that he, I guess, was trying to get his car through and may have, you know, brushed one of them.

00:09:13.540 She's chasing him down. She seems fine. And when she catches up to the vehicle, she's screaming at him

00:09:18.740 through the window, they block his car, prevent him from leaving until the police come and escort him

00:09:22.740 away. But the comments were hysterical, because in the comments, they are talking about how this guy

00:09:29.060 attempted to commit assault with a deadly weapon, that he must feel so brave being behind a two ton,

00:09:35.380 you know, car that can kill somebody, and talking about how dangerous what he did was. Well,

00:09:42.660 what happened when one of their own was the person behind the wheel of that two ton hunk of steel?

00:09:48.340 The exact opposite, right? The police officer is ridiculous for being scared for his life.

00:09:54.340 He is, he's weak. He's pathetic. How dare him? She wasn't even trying to run him over.

00:10:00.100 So we see that their apparent observation about the potential deadliness of getting hit with a car

00:10:06.740 is completely flipped on its head, depending on who is driving that car and who is the person standing

00:10:10.580 in front of it.

00:10:13.140 Insane. I want to ask you this. I think it's a miscalculation from a lot of conservatives where

00:10:18.660 they're just lambasting all of these protesters, agitators as idiots or morons. Certainly a good 0.97

00:10:24.820 component of them are, and certainly their ideology is idiotic. But something that jumped out to me was

00:10:29.220 in that video that obviously went viral of Nick Sorter and Cam Higbee, where they were, you know,

00:10:33.460 reporting on the ground, and they're in their car, and they got, you know, surrounded by a mob.

00:10:37.380 And, you know, Nick had to get out of there, so he had to make an invasive maneuver. But on the way

00:10:41.460 out, as he was driving out, there was that guy in the flannel shirt who jumped on top of the car

00:10:48.500 in a very specific way. This wasn't like a, necessarily a way where he's jumping up there,

00:10:53.060 he's gonna bash on the glass and try to scare the guy. He kind of jumped on backwards, and then

00:10:57.380 he rolled off like a stunt double. I mean, it felt like the Ryan Gosling movie where he's the stunt

00:11:02.660 double. It was very impressive. It was almost textbook Hollywood, you know, roll off. And I

00:11:07.140 see that. And at first, I'm like, that is kind of strange. I mean, maybe this guy is just bad at

00:11:11.700 intimidation. But then a lot of people obviously that are experts on, you know, the way the tactics

00:11:16.180 that they use, they're saying, no, he's trying to do that. So then if the police are called,

00:11:20.340 then he can say they hit me with my with his car, I got thrown on top of the vehicle, and it threw me

00:11:24.020 off and these sorts of things. That's like a very clever tactic that indicates to me that these people

00:11:30.660 have a lot of protocol, a lot of strategies, they unfortunately know what they're doing.

00:11:37.940 And that's an extremely pernicious thing. And that's why, again, it's kind of a miscalculation

00:11:42.180 almost to convince conservatives, like, hey, these people are just idiots, they're just whatever.

00:11:46.020 Again, the ideology is idiotic. But these people have all these tactics, they've thought this out,

00:11:49.780 they've sat down, they've brainstormed, how can we get these people in trouble? How can we get these

00:11:53.460 people in handcuffs? That's exactly right. And they are receiving training on how to do precisely that,

00:12:00.100 how to make themselves the victim in any scenario and get away from the consequences that would

00:12:05.060 usually come with that type of obstruction. So it's throwing yourself on top of the car.

00:12:10.820 It's, you know, claiming when the police officer is detaining you that you can't breathe or you need

00:12:17.780 medical attention. It's it's the people standing around a ICE officer detaining an illegal alien and

00:12:25.060 demanding to see a warrant as if you're like a federal judge or something. It's, it's all kinds

00:12:31.140 of tactics like that. There was a video recently that was going viral, where people were claiming

00:12:37.060 that a woman was pulled out of her car as she was trying to get to her doctor's appointment. And I

00:12:43.540 noticed in that video, and you know, I can't speak whether or not to whether or not this woman had 0.99

00:12:47.540 a doctor's appointment, but I did find it a little curious, that she stops and blocks traffic in the 0.99

00:12:53.220 middle of this law enforcement proceeding. She refuses orders to drive through. She sits there 0.90

00:12:58.660 and starts arguing with the officers. And it's only after she gets pulled out of the vehicle that she

00:13:04.500 starts screaming about this alleged doctor's appointment and how she's disabled. Right. And 0.79

00:13:10.020 so to me, that's a little too neat and calculated to only bring that up after you're detained by officers.

00:13:17.700 And it seems quite in line with the typical tactics that are used by these protesters.

00:13:24.820 Yeah. I mean, that's very worried. I just, I mean, I know these guys, you know,

00:13:29.540 S.W.O.R.D. or Higby, these guys are pros. So they're very keenly aware of this. But you know,

00:13:33.140 a lot of people are going to be inspired by a lot of this great work these guys are doing,

00:13:37.380 and they're getting out there. And I think they might underestimate, you know, how capable these

00:13:40.740 people are of trying to get you in trouble, especially in these jurisdictions where,

00:13:44.980 you know, Minneapolis Police Department is not playing ball with conservatives.

00:13:48.260 Right. And I think if there's one thing that they are idiots about, to go back to your previous point,

00:13:55.620 I think a lot of people like Renee Good and her wife, especially the liberal white women, 1.00

00:14:03.060 have been misled about the seriousness of what they're doing. That's true. And because they're in

00:14:10.340 a place like Minneapolis where, like you said, the judges will, you know, give them a slap on the

00:14:15.940 wrist. The prosecutors might not even prosecute. They might get at worst a citation. I don't think

00:14:22.340 any of them comprehended that if you try to flee the scene when you're being detained and hit an

00:14:28.900 officer with your car, that the punishment could be death. Right. Right. I don't think they ever

00:14:34.260 comprehended that an officer might use deadly force against them. They think that they're kind of

00:14:39.860 playing a fun game. Right. The cleverness with which they're approaching these situations

00:14:45.380 is cute and it's funny. And we see the smug faces of the liberal white women in their car 1.00

00:14:51.140 across all the videos that have been shared on social media recently. And I don't think any of them

00:14:57.220 thought that it could get to the point where they were either facing serious jail time or potentially

00:15:02.260 a death sentence. Yeah. And so when people are talking about, you know, why would you put yourself

00:15:07.460 in that situation, particularly when you have children? I suspect it's because these groups

00:15:13.220 have convinced them that the worst thing that will happen to them is they'll spend a night in jail and

00:15:18.260 their lawyer activist group will help make sure they never have to face any real consequences.

00:15:23.300 Yeah. I mean, like you said, I mean, why would they why wouldn't they believe they could operate

00:15:26.660 with impunity because they had riots five years ago and barely any consequence was really,

00:15:30.980 you know, had for any of these people that were doing these sorts of things?

00:15:34.500 You know, there's a new sheriff in town. So again, all we're really doing is just

00:15:38.740 like that's that's like obvious you can't hit officers with your car. But for those people who

00:15:43.780 live in a place like Minneapolis, they were like, hey, in 2020, you're allowed to do that.

00:15:48.660 You're allowed to do whatever you want to. Why would they expect the rules to change?

00:15:52.260 Something also really interesting, in addition to sort of them not understanding that you,

00:15:56.500 you know, they're not operating without impunity is there's something to be said about the fact that

00:16:01.540 people like Renee good are willing to effectively put their bodies on the line for fraud, like 1.00

00:16:09.060 literal criminals, literal fraudsters, because the whole fiasco in Minneapolis started from the Nick

00:16:14.980 Shirley video where he just went around and he was like recording very obvious fraud and daylight.

00:16:20.980 Obviously, Tim Waltz, you know, gets scalped in the process. It's so amazing to me because then

00:16:27.060 Noam responded by sending in DHS agents saying, OK, we need to mop this mess up because Tim Waltz and

00:16:31.220 Jacob Frey are clearly not serious people. They send in the DHS again to mop up the situation.

00:16:37.620 And that's how the protests and then eventually riots start is over all of that. So what does that say

00:16:45.060 about our country that you literally just have fairly ordinary middle aged, you know,

00:16:50.180 men and women like quite literally putting their bodies on the line for people that hate them?

00:16:54.900 I mean, they hate them enough to defraud them of their taxpayer dollars.

00:16:58.020 I mean, is this this is just like the most insane self-hatred I think I've ever seen.

00:17:04.340 Yeah. And and they hate them because they are now saying that you cannot use the phrase say

00:17:11.060 her name in response to Renee Goodsteph because that's reserved for black women. 1.00

00:17:15.860 Wow. And how dare they use that for a white woman? 1.00

00:17:18.180 Yeah. So, yeah, like if you're a white woman, you are like the scum on the bottom of their shoe. 1.00

00:17:22.580 They want you to use yourself as like a meat puppet to block ice and whatever happens to you,

00:17:28.020 they don't care. So it really is crazy. I mean, my theory about the liberal white woman thing has 0.84

00:17:34.100 always been that they a lot of them do not have families and the ones that do have, you know,

00:17:42.740 sort of weird family dynamics and structures. Like in this case, Renee Good was reportedly

00:17:48.580 divorced twice prior to meeting her wife. She was married to Ben. She has three kids, but I guess only

00:17:55.300 has full custody of one of them. And they tend to use the sort of female empathy that they normally 0.99

00:18:04.580 would on their families to protect who the liberals tell them is the external marginalized victim. So

00:18:11.380 in terms of like the psychology behind it, I think that's a lot of what's happening. But it really is

00:18:17.620 wild to see the type of people that they are defending. In addition to the Somali fraudsters, 1.00

00:18:23.860 I mean, there were cases where ice was picking up literal pedophiles, drug traffickers, and they're

00:18:29.460 out there protesting. I mean, the incident I mentioned earlier where the doctor or nurse had

00:18:34.580 allegedly hit one of these anti-ice protesters for this car. The reason they were out in the street

00:18:38.820 that day, I found the action that was taking place. Mayor Jacob Fry even admitted it actually

00:18:46.100 wasn't even an immigration operation that they were protesting. It was actually a federal and local

00:18:51.940 police operation to take down a $25 million meth operation. So they were out there really trying,

00:19:00.980 they're serving a warrant on this massive meth den. And we had anti-ice people out there basically

00:19:08.340 acting like they were taking away, you know, their nanny. And so there's just so much ignorance and

00:19:15.460 misinformation that is being fed through these groups from democratic politicians to the, you know,

00:19:22.980 useful, clever, but idiotic people who are out there actually doing the work of trying to obstruct 0.81

00:19:30.740 the proceedings. Right. Absolutely. Well, I want to do this. So obviously our last conversation,

00:19:36.740 we took a position on the story that maybe wasn't as in vogue, you know, because at the time with the

00:19:41.780 the compact piece, um, and it was a good piece, but you know, we, we described it as a permission

00:19:47.540 piece. We said there were some issues with the article. The framing was bad. Um, I think again,

00:19:53.300 I'm going to, I'll see if you agree with me. I'm going to take, I'm taking a position on this that

00:19:56.740 maybe isn't in vogue. It's kind of cuts against what a lot of the popular conservative commentary is,

00:20:01.140 but I believe this to be true is something that's interesting to me. I have this sort of framework,

00:20:07.060 other people coined it, but I use this framework of the idea of safe edgy where people sort of want

00:20:12.500 to be perceived as edgy, have like a heterodox opinion. And so they just like go all out on a,

00:20:18.820 on a group because again, people see it and go, wow, this guy's like really pushing against the

00:20:22.500 mainstream, but they're actually obfuscating from sort of what would actually be edgy. What would

00:20:27.140 actually be sort of the real underlying issue. So what I've seen in response to the Renee Goods

00:20:31.700 situation is that people are going on and on about Karens. And really when they're talking

00:20:38.020 about Karens, they're just talking about middle-aged white women, broadly liberal or conservative.

00:20:42.900 And they're, they're positioning Karens as if they were like the number one issue in the United States.

00:20:48.580 And that like Karens are really like holding back society and whatnot. And from my perspective, 1.00

00:20:54.420 I'm like, yes, liberal white women, they, they have this borderline suicidal tendency to defend 1.00

00:21:00.260 these people that absolutely hate them. But when you look at like white middle-aged women as a 1.00

00:21:04.340 voting block, they're like 50, 50, like they're, they're not this brainwashed, you know, HR lady. 1.00

00:21:11.700 And so what I'm seeing on the conservative side is a lot of people just want to attack them because

00:21:15.300 it's safe. It's like, okay, this is a group that can be perceived as edgy to attack, but it's not

00:21:20.740 actually getting at the bigger issue, which is like a large reason. A lot of these cities are really

00:21:24.740 unsafe is black crime. And we saw this with the arena's Ruska situation, but these people, 0.99

00:21:29.940 they, they won't address that because it's just much easier and safer to just attack middle-aged

00:21:34.580 white women. And like in the audience, people in our lives, like we know these, there's, there are

00:21:39.220 like half of them are patriots. I mean, like, what are you going to do? I don't know if you agree with

00:21:43.380 me on that, but it's just frustrating for me to see like the all out vitriol against Karens.

00:21:48.420 And then they like obfuscate from these other groups that are causing, you know, a lot of problems.

00:21:53.620 You know, the conversations like whether there's cultural policy, et cetera, et cetera.

00:21:56.820 It's just weird that Karens are receiving all the ire, um, in the current zeitgeist.

00:22:01.940 Yeah. I think that's a good point. I mean, they focus on the sort of the coverup or the

00:22:08.820 permission structure for minority people to behave a certain way without consequence and not the 0.99

00:22:15.780 behavior of the minority group. Um, and like, I'm going to go to bat for Karens a little bit because 1.00

00:22:22.100 there's a positive side to being a Karen. Um, yes, there's the Karen who is blowing a whistle

00:22:29.380 at an ICE agent, but there's also the Karens who are calling in suspicious things that they 0.51

00:22:35.140 see on the street that are helping to keep people safe. There's the Karens who switched to a different 1.00

00:22:40.340 subway car when someone who is clearly acting weird and aggressive is sitting next to them.

00:22:47.220 Right. There's the, there's the see something, say something Karen. Yeah. There's the Karens who

00:22:52.340 don't stand for litter and loitering and all of these, um, you know, quality of life crimes in

00:22:58.500 their neighborhoods. Uh, so I do think it cuts both ways and lumping all of these people into the same

00:23:05.300 group is not particularly helpful from a public policy standpoint. Yeah. Yeah, totally. I mean,

00:23:11.860 yeah, that's, that's the best way to put it is like, yeah, addressing the permission structure

00:23:15.300 without addressing the underlying issue of why there has to be permission structure in the first

00:23:18.260 place. Cause I think about it, I, this is like on Tim cast, I have a few takes that the audience

00:23:22.900 hates. Uh, I have my take on pit bulls and very anti-pit bull, you know, tattoos, uh, you know,

00:23:28.660 marijuana, you know, I'm a very, I'm like, I'm a prude and I'm, I'm very willing to admit that.

00:23:32.580 We're kindred spirits, Tate. Yeah, exactly. But the Karen, I'm, I'm kind of tactically pro Karen,

00:23:40.020 because I think about it. I'm like, you won't, you won't know what you had until they're gone.

00:23:44.100 And it's like, do you know how bad restaurants are going to get when you don't have Karen's like,

00:23:48.980 you know, just crashing out all the time. Like it's going to get ugly. And again, I get it. I

00:23:53.220 worked in retail. I understand how annoying some of these people can be, but they kind of keep

00:23:57.540 everything moving. They, they're the only people left in America that have like standards. Maybe

00:24:01.540 they're too high. I don't know. That's a conversation to be had, but they have standards. And like,

00:24:04.980 I'm from Memphis, Tennessee. When I think about what the issues are in Memphis, Tennessee,

00:24:09.540 why 80% of the city is like off limits. I'm not thinking about like, Karen's like,

00:24:14.980 that's not like what jumps to mind of like, Oh, what's like really causing me problems in Memphis,

00:24:20.020 but conservatives is like all they want to talk about. Cause again, it's like safe, edgy.

00:24:23.700 You're just like, you know, you get a really good line in on Karen's and everyone's like,

00:24:26.580 yeah, screw them or whatever. And it's like, what are we doing?

00:24:30.660 No, I totally agree. I mean, like if we can tie this to the pit bull conversation,

00:24:35.060 like, am I a Karen? If I'm walking around my neighborhood and I'm upset that someone's not

00:24:39.460 following leashing laws for their giant dog. Yeah. Like maybe, but it's called the first world.

00:24:44.660 Yes. Yeah. And if I go to a restaurant and they have a 20% COVID safety surcharge and I disputed on

00:24:53.140 my bill, am I being a Karen? Like, yeah, again, maybe, but also we shouldn't have to pay that.

00:24:59.300 Right. Yeah. Like there's a reason why, uh, women complaining has probably been a net good 1.00

00:25:07.220 for society. And sometimes it goes too far, but you know, being that sort of mouthy person who's

00:25:14.100 willing to kind of point out when something's not right is also really important. And it's how we

00:25:18.340 keep our society from falling into total decay. And I'm look, I'm pro HOA too. I'm a member of my

00:25:23.460 HOA board. Right. So good. Because like, who wants, okay. I live in a town home, right? My

00:25:30.020 property value is directly tied to both the two houses that are attached to mine and also the rest

00:25:36.020 of the neighborhood. If someone decides to have a bunch of junk cars in front of their house with

00:25:40.740 the wheels off, uh, and you know, my neighbors trying to sell their home, like who's going to look

00:25:46.180 out for them. This has to be a group effort. So I do think the anti Karen, uh, narrative does kind

00:25:53.860 of cut at this idea that like communities don't really matter. And we're all just super hyper

00:25:59.140 individualistic. So true. That is so true. Like the, it's a leftist, people are using leftist arguments

00:26:04.660 when they're like attacking Karens where they're like, Oh yeah, they, they uphold basic societal standards.

00:26:10.340 Like, yeah, that's good. Actually I'll go full, you know, I'll just, I'll go full woke feminist

00:26:16.020 libtard. I'll make this point. If you or me were at lunch and the food came and it was incorrect. 1.00

00:26:21.940 If I pointed that out, if I caused a problem, I was like, Hey, you know, waiter, like it's not the

00:26:25.860 right order. People would be like, wow, this guy's really standing up for himself. This guy, you know,

00:26:29.620 he, you know, he has like, like expectations for what he's paying for. If you did that, they'd say,

00:26:34.100 Amber is such a Karen. Like what? Yeah. Let bygones be bygone. Maybe that's my most liberal take I have,

00:26:39.700 but I do think like women unfortunately just are so quick to be lambasted as a Karen for like 1.00

00:26:44.820 expecting their food to be correct as they ordered it and these sorts of things.

00:26:48.420 Yeah, I agree. And I see this a lot among younger millennials and Gen Z that they're so scared of

00:26:53.300 being labeled Karens that they don't ask for the basic things that they're paying for. Like they

00:26:58.820 will not send a meal back. I mean, I'm, I'm on Reddit all the time and I see people who are like,

00:27:03.540 was I too aggressive because my meal came out and it had the mayonnaise on it and I didn't,

00:27:08.820 I asked for no mayonnaise and my friend said that I was crazy for sending it back. Like what are we

00:27:13.380 doing? Yeah. Like it really gets to the fundamental issue. Like this is a completely different topic,

00:27:18.180 but it's just, it's so true. I mean, we got to hit on this before we go is people are uncomfortable

00:27:22.980 with advocating for themselves anymore. And this actually does kind of tie into, you know,

00:27:26.980 the self-hatred that's driving a lot of these like liberal white women, but you know, people at large 1.00

00:27:31.460 is people just have a really bad perception of themselves. And when you have that,

00:27:35.220 you're never going to advocate for yourself because you're never going to believe that,

00:27:38.100 you know, you deserve things. You, you know, you, you, you deserve standards. You deserve to be

00:27:43.460 treated correctly. And so that's like really the fundamental issue with zoomers is they're so 1.00

00:27:48.180 black-pilled. They're so nihilistic or they're nihilists is that they just don't even feel the

00:27:53.220 desire or urge to advocate for yourself. And it's like, you're going to get completely thrown around

00:27:58.020 by life. You're going to completely ran over if you don't, again, that's not saying you got to like

00:28:01.140 make it everyone's problem because they didn't have a lemon in your water or whatever, but like

00:28:05.300 speak up, like you got to advocate for yourself a little bit. You got to take up the space that you,

00:28:09.620 you know, are existing in, in the world. Yeah. Let's tie this together real quick. You know,

00:28:14.420 you've got the person who asked for no mayonnaise on their sandwich and they don't say anything

00:28:18.580 because the waiter just must've known that I should eat it with mayonnaise. And it's the same thing

00:28:24.420 with the people who, you know, secretly are uncomfortable with crime and uncomfortable with

00:28:30.500 certain characters on the subway, but they look at the reaction from the liberal social media

00:28:36.900 zeitgeist and they say, no, no, no, I must be the one who's wrong. I must be crazy. I've got to listen

00:28:42.020 to them. I think it's a lot of the same mindset going on there. Absolutely. Well, when the permission

00:28:47.380 piece comes out in black crime from the Washington Post, you'll be the first person I call.

00:28:50.820 I love it. Well, Amber, thank you so much for hopping on. This is a blast as always.

00:28:56.260 Where can people find you and where can people find that fantastic sub stack article?

00:28:59.940 Yes. So they can find my work at dailycaller.com and my sub stacks are just under my own name,

00:29:05.780 Amber Marie Duke. Um, but they also get cross posted on the daily color sub stack,

00:29:09.700 which you should definitely become a paid subscriber to it's called state of the day.

00:29:13.780 We've got banger newsletters, just like mine coming out every single day.

00:29:17.140 Um, they can also follow me on X at Amber Marie Duke. Awesome. Thank you so much,

00:29:21.380 Amber. We'll catch you next time. Thanks. Bye. Bye. All right. Well, that was the great

00:29:26.500 Amber Duke. Yeah, it's so good. It's so good that someone else's because I feel like I'm just a crazy

00:29:31.060 person when I'm like seeing something that's so obvious with the Karens. I'm like, agreed, 1.00

00:29:36.020 like the original description of Karen. Yeah, that's annoying. Like someone that's just cranky and 1.00

00:29:40.980 whatever, PMS, et cetera, et cetera. But like, it's, it's gone way too far. We're like,

00:29:45.300 now we're just being racist towards white people. Like it's literally anti white sentiment driving

00:29:50.020 this where it's like, if a white woman, you know, expects like crime to be minimal,

00:29:55.620 then she's a Karen. Like, it's crazy what's going on. So I'm so thankful Amber just walked with me 0.67

00:30:00.020 down that route. Cause it's so true. If anything, I just kind of throw out, like kind of, kind of

00:30:04.340 garbled like an idea. And then she knows what I'm talking about. And then she just

00:30:08.260 frames it perfectly. And she, she intellectualizes it's perfect. So yeah, people, uh, people are going to be,

00:30:14.100 you know, people are going to be hating people are going to be, you know, doubting, uh, the,

00:30:17.780 the Karen defense, but it's true. It's just objectively true. I'm sorry. I hate that it is

00:30:21.860 the way it is, but follow, well, I just hit that table hard. Follow me on X and Instagram

00:30:26.900 at real tape Brown. And we'll be back tonight for Tim cast IRL at 8 PM,

00:30:31.220 be there or be square and we'll see you later.
