00:00:00.000
One of the strangest things about the modern economy is that everyone claims to love small
00:00:03.780
businesses, but the systems that we've built make it harder and harder for small businesses to
00:00:08.220
actually survive. Over 70% of small businesses need additional capital at least once a year.
00:00:13.140
Meanwhile, banks are tightening, underwriting, and approving fewer loans than ever, even while
00:00:17.900
small business revenue is at record highs. So what happens? Business owners get trapped in limbo,
00:00:23.060
but if you want bank rates without the bank delays, you need to check out cardiff.co
00:00:27.920
slash Knowles for up to half a million dollars in same-day funding. Cardiff is the largest
00:00:31.740
privately held small business lender in the United States. Since 2004, they've funded more than $12
00:00:35.960
billion for businesses. The application takes under five minutes. There's no impact on personal
00:00:40.100
credit, and businesses can often get approved in minutes and funded the very same day. Big banks
00:00:44.740
may not want to approve your business loans. Cardiff does. If you've been in business for
00:00:48.400
at least a year and are pulling in $20,000 a month in revenue, apply now for up to half a
00:00:52.320
million dollars in same-day business funding at cardiff.co slash Knowles. Cardiff.co slash Knowles
00:01:26.800
close to you. Please go to connexontario.ca. Not everybody is happy that America is 250 years old.
00:01:33.500
Some people wish we had died long before. And they think it is wrong of you to celebrate.
00:01:38.840
Where do we find such excruple degeneracy? We find it, of course, on TikTok. Take it away.
00:01:44.700
I want to remind everybody because we are coming out of May.
00:01:48.380
Septim piercing. And then there's going to be June. And then there's going to be July.
00:01:53.080
Remind everybody that July 4th is f***ing cancelled.
00:02:04.520
It's trash, it's garbage, it's something we vomited up, apparently.
1.00
00:02:08.240
If I hear a single f***ing firework, if I see a f***ing barbecue out there,
1.00
00:02:18.780
Aristotle believed that one's physique had a relation to one's other virtues.
0.99
00:02:26.500
He believed that you really could judge a book by its cover.
0.57
00:02:36.960
When you see someone with the jolly rancher blue hair,
00:02:41.180
when you see someone who just looks like on the brink of death all the time
00:02:48.880
When you see, crucially, when you see the septum piercing,
00:02:53.240
whose intellect and will have been rotted to the core.
00:03:04.100
That should signal to you that whatever you're about to hear
00:03:14.720
250 years of freedom my entire ass. We cannot celebrate freedom while people are actively
0.99
00:03:21.580
being stripped of political power and civil rights. Y'all motherfuckers were lecturing
1.00
00:03:26.480
black people on how we needed to be grateful for Donald Trump because he did so much to pardon
1.00
00:03:32.720
and free black people. He did so much with his selective ass prison reform. You have nothing
0.76
00:03:39.080
to say. Prison reform is like the one thing Trump did that I hated. The one thing he's ever done
00:03:44.240
About the continued disenfranchisement of fel-
1.00
00:03:51.160
I love how she just conflates black people with criminals.
0.99
00:03:54.660
Just totally, casually, no explanation at all.
0.98
00:03:59.160
Just, she sees the Venn diagram of black people
0.93
00:04:07.680
Cool, hey, cool it with the racist remarks.
0.95
00:04:10.660
You've got to keep the white and the black surface.
0.98
00:04:13.220
There's a great political lesson that comes out of that TikTok, Doug.
00:04:16.100
I mentioned that basically the one thing Trump has ever done that I really, really, really
00:04:22.320
disagreed with was the prison reform, the jailbreak bill in the first term where he
00:04:29.200
And it's funny when people, they say, Michael, you're too positive on Trump.
00:04:37.920
I hated prison reform, which is the one thing that a lot of those people usually like.
00:04:43.900
You know, people can only be right at most 99.3% of the time.
00:04:47.160
In any case, it's a reminder as to why it's not a good idea to pander to people who just
00:04:55.360
The people who want to abolish prisons, the people who want to let the criminals out of
00:04:58.480
jail, you're not going to win those people over.
0.94
00:05:00.740
Trump can win over a bunch of black voters.
0.58
00:05:06.760
He's got, you know, he's going to win like, you know, normal good people.
00:05:10.280
So if we could do it over, you can't repeat history, but if we could do it over, we need to put more people in prison.
00:05:16.180
The problem is not over-incarceration. The problem is under-incarceration.
00:05:20.260
As long as we have crime, we have an under-incarceration problem.
00:05:24.420
I'm happy to report that America's 250th birthday party was as ghetto as we thought.
1.00
00:05:28.760
Here are some clips from inside the event, and it looks to be a sweaty time.
1.00
00:05:35.380
And everybody's dressed like it's 2003, but not in a good way.
00:05:38.500
oh and then these two thugs got into a fist brawl just feet away from the white house
00:05:44.000
look at this usual suspects okay so there's a little irony to this because usually
0.89
00:05:51.960
the videos of people getting into fights on the streets is usually black people but in this case
0.94
00:05:56.000
it's white people so you say yeah look at those thugs yeah they're the usual suspects
0.98
00:05:59.460
Begin. It's okay. He's having fun mocking white working class aesthetics. And this is a criticism
0.99
00:06:11.460
that you usually don't see coming from black people. This is more a criticism you get
0.96
00:06:15.620
from white liberals because it's the safest group to beat up on. You're allowed to beat up on them
0.88
00:06:22.560
and you won't be called racist and you won't even be called classist. It's just fun. The white
00:06:26.420
working class and the white working class aesthetic you know wwe ufc you know dirt bikes
00:06:34.160
and bald eagles and explosions that that's uh mocked by the self-styled cultural elite
00:06:40.960
and just about everybody else and trump really leans into that aesthetic go to helix sleep.com

00:08:01.720
And so this has been the knock on Trump for 10 years. He seems like white trash. Oh, he's just
1.00
00:08:07.300
leaning into the populism, even not just the white working class. Trump, oh, he's named in
00:08:14.240
all these rap songs. He's got the style of a rapper or a gangster. And yeah, that's true.
0.94
00:08:19.400
And he embraces it. And it's what gives him a lot of cross-cultural appeal because he is a
00:08:24.260
billionaire. He was born rich. My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars. He has
00:08:29.520
steakhouses and luxury golf courses, and he wears nice Brioni suits and all the rest of it.
00:08:33.940
but his tastes tend to be the tastes of normal people,
00:08:40.680
not of just the upper crust of the upper crust of the,
00:08:47.420
he doesn't order it like all the fancy people do rare or medium rare.
00:09:00.100
Trump goes to see the Knicks game because he couldn't,
00:09:03.940
but it's great entertainment and they mock him for it. I think they mock him for it at their
00:09:08.080
own peril. Normal people like that stuff. Okay. So that's fine. Mock him. He's too relatable.
00:09:14.700
He's not pretentious enough. He's look at this guy. He's not even condescending. Yeah. Okay.
00:09:19.900
I guess that's how he got elected at least twice and won the popular vote. Today on America,
00:09:24.300
septum on a man was reminded us who we are bitch i know that orange motherfucker is mad
1.00
00:09:35.740
i'm batman bitch you had all you had biden bush clinton obama bitch it was giving
1.00
00:09:47.320
presidential avengers bitch okay they hate this is what america 250 is supposed to look like bitch
1.00
00:09:56.420
okay this was america 250 i don't know what that shit on the white house lawn was
1.00
00:10:01.840
michelle obama you you know america doesn't deserve her they don't deserve a michelle obama
1.00
00:10:10.140
presidential run you don't deserve michelle lavon bitch you don't deserve michelle lavon
0.99
00:10:16.400
He's just repeating himself seven times for every quasi point he makes.
1.00
00:10:21.940
Graceful, class, intelligence, graceful, class, intelligence, qualifications, bitch.
0.99
00:10:38.800
It was a hug that was like a hug to the country.
00:10:43.460
Um, and I don't care what they say. You can never make me hate Barack Hussein and Michelle LaVon, bitch. Play with your mother. Don't play with me.
1.00
00:10:56.680
why does he use their middle names or their maiden names yeah the black homosexual men
0.99
00:11:04.820
are one of the stranger groups because black men are one of the last groups in america
0.94
00:11:12.400
who have retained a real pride in masculine behavior this is a point that uh the harvard
00:11:18.540
professor harvey mansfield made in his book manliness 20 years ago black men still retain
00:11:25.260
a, they valorize masculinity, whereas other demographics don't really do that anymore.
0.99
00:11:32.840
And so the black effeminate men, that's a weird one.
1.00
00:11:42.080
And then it gets even weirder. Well, one, I mean, you knew you were in for it the minute you saw
0.98
00:11:46.780
not just a septum ring, but a septum ring on a man. That's really confounding. That's a red flag.
00:11:52.700
But when he says how much he loves George Bush,
00:12:20.780
And that's what the people really want, do you?
00:12:24.100
He says, it's not a corporate event without those guys.
00:12:32.960
It feels the Bushes and the Bidens and Obamas to some degree.
00:12:44.880
And he doesn't really appeal to, I don't know, to the old establishment.
00:12:50.780
Which is why he's the real rock star and the actual rock stars have become like politicians.
00:13:01.660
I don't know who needed to hear this, but I'm at that age now where if you popping fireworks after 12 o'clock, I'm calling the police on your ass.
0.99
00:13:08.380
There's too much going on with Trump, Iran.
1.00
00:13:14.460
So wrap that shit up at 1130 because when 12 a.m. hit, I don't need to hear shit.
1.00
00:13:19.620
That was fine. I don't really have a problem with that. I have little kids. I don't want
1.00
00:13:32.980
people setting off fireworks, waking my kids up, dragging me out the next day. That's fine.
00:13:37.040
I don't know why he would blame, you know, Trump or anything for that. He vaguely references the
00:13:43.260
war in Iran, but I, you know, all the gunshots in these cities, those are all run by Democrats,
0.97
00:13:56.600
there is some bipartisan agreement at the end.
0.88
