At work, the coffee truck's coffee has only ever been described in one way.
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.
00:00:26.200
with wage replacement, retraining, medical care, and more.
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,
00:00:45.620
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,
00:01:05.020
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
00:01:18.200
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
00:01:29.800
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
00:01:50.520
This term was used again during the BLM riots and the anti-police brutality protests that we saw
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
00:02:27.980
These people are really just random protesters who pull out their phone and record.
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
00:03:43.480
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.
00:03:55.120
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,
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.
00:04:28.640
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,
00:04:45.960
These people are here making sure everything's above board.
00:04:48.180
Like, foolishly, I was like, maybe these people are nonpartisan.
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
00:05:05.960
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.
00:05:22.100
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.
00:05:47.240
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.
00:06:29.620
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
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
00:08:13.840
people to sacrifice themselves on the altar of blackness, right? That white people need to be
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
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
00:10:13.140
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
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
00:12:47.540
a doctor's appointment, but I did find it a little curious, that she stops and blocks traffic in the
00:12:53.220
middle of this law enforcement proceeding. She refuses orders to drive through. She sits there
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
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,
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
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
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.
00:17:15.860
Wow. And how dare they use that for a white woman?
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.
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
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
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,
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
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,
00:20:54.420
I'm like, yes, liberal white women, they, they have this borderline suicidal tendency to defend
00:21:00.260
these people that absolutely hate them. But when you look at like white middle-aged women as a
00:21:04.340
voting block, they're like 50, 50, like they're, they're not this brainwashed, you know, HR lady.
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,
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
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
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
00:22:35.140
see on the street that are helping to keep people safe. There's the Karens who switched to a different
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
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.
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
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
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
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,
00:29:36.020
like the original description of Karen. Yeah, that's annoying. Like someone that's just cranky and
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
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,
