00:00:00.480 Recently, our company's softball team lost the big game by one run.
00:00:04.800 Then Dale tried to console us with the quote,

00:00:47.180 A new leftist euphemism has dropped.
00:00:49.860 Have you heard of it?
00:00:50.540 Do you know this new one?
00:00:51.500 There's all sorts of woke jargon and politically correct terms.
00:00:54.880 But the new one, this is my favorite one, is teen takeovers. 1.00
00:01:00.000 now in the old days we called teen takeovers mobs of specifically black youth wreaking havoc 0.73
00:01:10.740 and there were all sorts of terms for that i guess you know there are mobs for when other 0.91
00:01:14.080 races and other groups wreak havoc but the one that now specifically applies to young black
00:01:18.680 people wreaking havoc it's called a teen takeover it sounds kind of like you know when the when the 0.67
00:01:24.960 Pizza restaurant would do like a special evening and all the teens would come by, you know, teen takeover at the roller skating rink. 0.67
00:01:32.580 But now a teen takeover is when young people, specifically black young people, commit assault, sometimes murder and arson and looting and vandalism. 0.76
00:01:45.280 OK, let's let's see. Let's see the charming, delightful teen takeovers. 0.99
00:01:54.960 Oh, that one actually does look kind of fun.
00:02:17.080 Well, that's not it.
00:02:18.980 But the ones who are just kind of dancing nicely, who aren't, like, burning things.
00:02:24.380 I guess that's relatively fine.
00:02:26.380 All right.
00:02:26.800 Well, that actually seems relatively safe.
00:02:28.300 Okay.
00:02:28.680 The teen takeover videos I've seen are when they're like lighting stuff on fire and beating
00:02:32.620 each other up and like vandalizing stuff.
00:02:34.640 So I don't know if it's just, if the worst you get is twerking, I mean, not ideal, but
00:02:39.120 okay.
00:02:40.360 That's not, I'll, I can tolerate that level of teen takeover.
00:02:45.940 Okay.
00:02:46.400 So that was the Long Beach teen takeover.
00:02:47.800 If I ever find myself in Southern California and a teen takeover happens, I'm not going
00:02:52.180 to worry too much.
00:02:53.140 Let's go to Chicago.
00:02:54.380 okay okay yeah all right now that's a little more that's kind of more what i was expecting
00:03:00.000 kindling the fire of the car yeah okay oh all right
00:03:06.720 when i was a boy we did like a boxcar derby you know those like you and times change and now
00:03:19.420 if you're a teen takeover artist in Chicago,
00:03:23.100 you just blow up cars in the middle of the street.
00:03:26.580 Okay, not great.
00:03:27.440 Next one, Orlando.
00:03:31.840 Okay, don't love that.
00:03:34.260 Don't love the teens fighting with the police
00:03:36.300 and surrounding the cops.
00:03:39.420 I do like that the cop is just absolutely wrecking this guy.
00:03:43.280 I like that.
00:03:44.460 I would watch that.
00:03:46.100 Watching cops beat up young criminals,
00:03:48.400 i'm all about i would pay for that i don't even really like ufc i've gone to a couple you know
00:03:52.940 no knock on it but it to me it's it can get a little a little violent a little gratuitous
00:03:57.660 but watching cops just beat criminals in the street i would get season tickets again my
00:04:07.400 opinion on teen takeovers is improving almost by the minute next one is clearwater florida
00:04:13.040 I don't love, don't love the running through the street, don't love blocking traffic, where
00:04:27.960 does the note go out that they should all do this, where's the note like tonight is
00:04:31.580 This is the teen taker.
00:04:33.580 A bulletin board.
00:04:57.580 Clearly the cops heard about it too.
00:04:59.580 relatively orderly again
00:05:02.660 you don't want to run anybody over and you don't want to block not traffic but
00:05:11.640 no cars are on fire there's not even very much talking okay that's okay i'll deal with it
00:05:18.740 it could be worse right now go to preborn.com slash knowles folks we are living in a defining
00:05:23.280 moment today a woman facing an unexpected pregnancy can order the abortion pill online
00:05:27.700 often before anyone has the chance to tell her
00:05:29.720 she is loved, that she's not alone, that there is hope.
00:05:32.800 That is why you are needed right now.

00:05:35.860 At Preborn Network Clinic's mothers are welcomed

00:05:40.700 When she sees her baby and hears that tiny heartbeat
00:05:42.640 for the first time, fear gives way to hope.
00:05:44.980 In fact, more than 80% of abortion-vulnerable women
00:05:47.180 choose life after seeing their baby on an ultrasound
00:05:49.560 at a Preborn Network Clinic.
00:05:50.820 That is one moment that can save a baby's life
00:05:52.920 and open a mother's heart to the hope of Jesus Christ.

00:06:20.640 Go to preborn.com slash Knowles.
00:06:24.260 Next one.
00:06:26.880 the masks are never a good sign yeah okay firing explosives in the middle of the street
00:06:33.640 at a helicopter is yeah notice what a what an amazing range of activities are implied by teen
00:06:40.720 takeover you get some like girls kind of on the street not great but okay whatever down to masked
00:06:49.360 militants fire explosives at a helicopter that i think we need different terms for these things
00:06:56.000 next one so michael i have something to admit to yeah so that last clip that you just watched of
00:07:02.500 the firing the firework at the helicopter yeah that's an older clip and i was there
00:07:07.440 back in 2016 ish before i found god before i came became conservative i grew up in not the
00:07:15.200 best part of la and takeovers were like a week a weekend activity that a bunch of my friends would
00:07:21.560 go to i can't tell is this a bit or it's not a bit you actually did that this is 100 in the next
00:07:26.920 clip you're about to watch is a minute-long compilation of videos i filmed myself the
00:07:31.600 reason i went to them was because there were always cars at them and i liked cars so yeah
00:07:35.960 you read playboy for the article but hold on i thought that the teen takeovers were specifically
00:07:45.480 just black people in in la it's a lot of hispanics do it too but there's also a lot of black people
00:07:51.940 there and then there was one jew just standing there was i was gonna say are you aware that you
00:07:56.840 are neither black nor hispanic i don't know culturally i can be whatever you could pass
00:08:01.940 you could pass almost for either yeah okay all right so these are your firsthand accounts of
00:08:08.060 14 takeovers.
00:08:10.220 No, I just did it for the Camaros.
00:08:15.140 Yeah, you can hear them.
00:08:16.260 You can hear that prof there.
00:08:19.720 Yeah, I'd say the weapons and the violence is bad,
00:08:22.400 but the cars are cool.
00:08:29.200 I feel like the cars and the drag race and all that
00:08:34.000 could hurt people.
00:08:38.060 A lot of, seems like a lot of doctors and engineers,
00:08:47.280 future doctors and engineers at these things.
00:08:49.500 And one future live streamer, Professor Jacob.
00:08:54.340 Okay, next one.
00:08:55.340 Quick question.
00:08:56.240 At what point in history did white people peacefully protest?
00:09:00.700 Ever. 0.99
00:09:02.180 Even when black people protested peacefully.
00:09:04.380 During the civil rights movement, we were still beaten. 0.97
00:09:07.420 Dogs were sicked on us.
00:09:09.100 Explosions happened.
00:09:10.580 Martin Luther King was murdered.
00:09:12.020 So again, when have y'all ever been peaceful?
00:09:14.960 Peaceful protests from white people?
00:09:16.880 I think she's confusing a few things
00:09:18.260 because there have been a zillion peaceful protests
00:09:20.780 by white people throughout history.
00:09:23.140 Most of the protests in the American Revolution,
00:09:26.320 for instance,
00:09:27.500 but really for just any social issue,
00:09:29.700 I mean, protesting attacks
00:09:30.820 or protesting some new policy.
00:09:33.480 White people are super peaceful. 0.99
00:09:34.520 All those like ridiculous resistance, 0.99
00:09:36.700 like the boomer lib anti-ice protests 0.84
00:09:39.720 that have got the no kings protest.
00:09:41.540 Those are all super peaceful. 0.57
00:09:43.140 They're ridiculous, but they're very peaceful. 0.95
00:09:45.180 So I don't think she means to make that point. 0.97
00:09:47.660 I think the point that she's trying to make is
00:09:49.180 when have you tolerated black people
00:09:51.560 having a peaceful protest? 0.99
00:09:52.900 You know, you killed Martin Luther King,
00:09:54.120 which is a totally different point,
00:09:55.460 but let's take that point on its face.
00:09:57.820 When have white people tolerated
00:10:00.400 black people's peaceful protests?
00:10:01.920 I don't know, a lot, like most of the time, I guess.
00:10:04.880 and most of the violent protests too.
00:10:09.800 Like the BLM riots that killed dozens of people
00:10:11.940 and ended up with almost $2 billion 0.79
00:10:14.640 in property damage and all that. 0.56
00:10:16.920 Not only did white people tolerate that, 0.52
00:10:19.060 white people participated in that.
00:10:20.340 You had Mitt Romney, you know, 0.61
00:10:21.420 just like marching on with BLM.
00:10:23.500 White Republicans tolerated that
00:10:25.920 and participated in it. 0.64
00:10:28.160 So yeah, I don't know.
00:10:29.220 She's a little confused on the point.
00:10:30.940 But if the upshot of all of it is
00:10:32.820 we shouldn't have teen takeovers
00:10:35.100 and if you're going to have a teen takeover
00:10:37.040 it should be the kind of generally
00:10:39.200 innocuous ones with just a little
00:10:41.420 jiggling on the beach 0.86
00:10:42.400 and not the Professor Jacob
00:10:45.040 shooting AK-47s at helicopters
00:10:47.340 and running people over in cars 0.99
00:10:48.700 then okay, that's fine
00:10:51.240 those videos de-radicalized me
00:10:54.080 I'm Michael Nol, see you next time
00:10:56.960 yeah, I'm de-radicalized, wow
00:11:01.160 But I'm radicalized on Jacob
