00:00:43.660 please go to conicsontario.ca.

00:00:45.920 Not everybody is happy that America is 250 years old.

00:00:49.860 Some people wish we had died long before.

00:00:52.220 And they think it is wrong of you to celebrate.

00:00:54.760 Right. Where do we find such excruple degeneracy?

00:00:59.340 We find it, of course, on TikTok.

00:01:00.800 I want to remind everybody because we are coming out of May.

00:01:04.720 Septim piercing.

00:01:05.520 And then there's going to be June.

00:01:06.800 And then there's going to be July.

00:01:08.440 It's always the tell. 0.82

00:01:09.440 I want to remind everybody that July 4th is f***ing cancelled.

00:01:18.980 It's cancelled. It means nothing.

00:01:20.900 It's trash. It's garbage. 1.00

00:01:22.420 It's something we vomited up, apparently. 1.00

00:01:24.760 If I hear a single firework, if I see a barbecue out there, motherfuckers, it is canceled. 0.99

00:01:35.120 Aristotle believed that one's physique had a relation to one's other virtues. 0.99

00:01:41.240 He was an early looks maxer.

00:01:42.880 He believed that you really could judge a book by its cover. 0.77

00:01:47.000 And ugly people can be virtuous.

00:01:50.740 It's not even about natural ugliness so much.

00:01:53.340 When you see someone with the Jolly Rancher blue hair, when you see someone who just looks like on the brink of death all the time with no underlying medical reason, when you see crucially, when you see the septum piercing, you know that you're dealing with someone whose intellect and will have been rotted to the core.

00:02:12.840 And that should signal to you, that should play upon your prejudice, which is good, which we rely upon a lot.

00:02:20.480 That should signal to you that whatever you're about to hear is probably very, very wrong, if not influenced by Satan.

00:02:30.540 Next one. 1.00

00:02:31.340 250 years of freedom, my f***ing entire ass. 0.99

00:02:34.360 We cannot celebrate freedom while people are actively being stripped of political power and civil rights. 1.00

00:02:41.060 Y'all motherfuckers were lecturing black people on how we needed to be grateful for Donald Trump because he did so much to pardon and free black people. 0.99

00:02:50.240 He did so much with his selective ass prison reform. 1.00

00:02:54.540 You have nothing to say. 0.96

00:02:55.500 Prison reform is like the one thing Trump did that I hated.

00:02:58.780 The one thing he's ever done that I hated.

00:03:00.360 About the continued disenfranchisement of felon. 0.86

00:03:07.120 I love how she just conflates black people with criminals.

00:03:10.640 It's just totally, casually, no explanation at all. 0.93

00:03:15.580 She sees the Venn diagram of black people and criminals to be a circle. 0.76

00:03:22.640 Like, cool it, Bull Connor. 0.99

00:03:24.120 Hey, cool it with the racist remarks. 0.99

00:03:27.020 You've got to keep the white and the black. 0.98

00:03:29.300 There's a great political lesson that comes out of that TikTok, though. 0.96

00:03:32.380 I mentioned that basically the one thing Trump has ever done that I really, really, really

00:03:38.700 disagreed with was the prison reform, the jailbreak bill in the first term where he sprung a bunch of

00:03:44.380 criminals at a prison. And it's funny when people, they say, Michael, you're too positive on Trump.

00:03:50.460 You never criticized Trump. I say, that's not true. I hated that jailbreak bill. I hated prison

00:03:54.920 reform, which is the one thing that a lot of those people usually like. But I thought it was a bad

00:03:59.380 idea. It's okay. People can only be right at most 99.3% of the time. In any case, it's a reminder

00:04:05.040 pander as to why it's not a good idea to pander to people who just fundamentally disagree with you.

00:04:11.740 The people who want to abolish prisons, the people who want to let the criminals out of jail,

00:04:15.280 you're not going to win those people over. Trump can win over a bunch of black voters. He did 0.94

00:04:19.120 historically, but he's not winning her. He's not going to win a bunch of criminals. He's got,

00:04:23.820 you know, he's going to win like, you know, normal good people. So if we could, if we could do it

00:04:28.380 over, you can't repeat history, but if we could do it over, we need to put more people in prison.

00:04:32.560 The problem is not over-incarceration.

00:04:34.780 The problem is under-incarceration.

00:04:36.460 As long as we have crime, we have an under-incarceration problem.

00:04:39.940 Next one. 1.00

00:04:40.800 I'm happy to report that America's 250th birthday party was as ghetto as we thought. 1.00

00:04:45.140 Here are some clips from inside the event, and it looks to be a sweaty time. 1.00

00:04:49.260 Just malt, liquor, and bologna.

00:04:51.780 And everybody's dressed like it's 2003, but not in a good way.

00:04:54.880 Oh, and then these two thugs got into a fist brawl just feet away from the White House.

00:05:00.760 Look at this.

00:05:01.760 usual suspects. Okay. So there's a little irony to this because usually the videos of people

00:05:09.740 getting into fights on the streets, it's usually black people. But in this case, 0.84

00:05:12.400 it's white people. So you say, yeah, look at those thugs. Yeah. They're the usual suspects. 1.00

00:05:20.020 It's okay. He's having, he's having fun mocking white working class aesthetics. 0.94

00:05:26.320 And this is a criticism that you usually don't see coming from black people. This is more a 0.91

00:05:31.200 criticism you get from white liberals. Because it's the safest group to beat up on. You're 0.92

00:05:37.800 allowed to beat up on them. And you won't be called racist, and you won't even be called

00:05:41.040 classist. It's just fun. The white working class and the white working class aesthetic,

00:05:45.480 you know, WWE, UFC, you know, dirt bikes and bald eagles and explosions, that's mocked by the

00:05:55.320 self-styled cultural elite and just about everybody else. And Trump really leans into

00:06:00.880 that aesthetic. Go to helixsleep.com slash Knowles. America was built by people who worked

00:06:06.360 hard and slept well. If you're not sleeping well, you are not operating at full capacity,

00:06:15.280 need your Helix. My wife is very, very pregnant, okay? And she gets more pregnant by the day.

00:07:18.100 And so this has been the knock on Trump for 10 years. 1.00

00:07:20.920 He seems like white trash. 1.00

00:07:22.400 Oh, he's just leaning into the populism. 1.00

00:07:26.680 Even not just the white working class.

00:07:29.520 Trump, oh, he's named in all these rap songs. 0.92

00:07:31.600 He's got the style of a rapper or a gangster.

00:07:34.660 Yeah, that's true, and he embraces it, and it's what gives him a lot of cross-cultural appeal

00:07:38.960 because he is a billionaire.

00:07:41.160 He was born rich.

00:07:42.040 My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars.

00:07:44.220 He has steakhouses and luxury golf courses, and he wears nice Brioni suits and all the rest of it.

00:07:50.280 But his tastes tend to be the tastes of normal people, not of just the upper crust of the

00:07:59.880 upper crust of the aristocracy.

00:08:02.260 When Trump orders his steak, he doesn't order it like all the fancy people do,

00:08:06.040 rare or medium rare.

00:08:07.220 He orders it burnt with ketchup.

00:08:09.060 When he wants entertainment, he doesn't go to the opera.

00:08:11.860 I like the opera.

00:08:12.580 He doesn't go to the opera.

00:08:13.560 He doesn't go to the ballet.

00:08:14.640 He goes to UFC.

00:08:16.480 Trump goes to see the Knicks game because he couldn't.

00:08:18.780 he said, this league is so left wing, but it's great entertainment. And they mock him for it.

00:08:23.260 I think they mock him for it at their own peril. Normal people like that stuff. Okay. So that's

00:08:28.320 fun. Mock him. He's too relatable. He's not pretentious enough. He's look at this guy.

00:08:34.580 He's not even condescending. Yeah. Okay. I guess that's how he got elected at least twice and won

00:08:38.760 the popular vote. Today on America. Septim on a man. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. The Obama's reminded us

00:08:43.900 who we are, bitch. 1.00

00:08:47.300 I know that 1.00

00:08:48.860 orange motherfucker is 1.00

00:08:50.740 mad. 1.00

00:08:53.080 I'm Batman. 1.00

00:08:54.380 Bitch, you had 1.00

00:08:55.820 Biden, 1.00

00:08:59.000 Bush, Clinton,

00:09:02.300 Obama, 1.00

00:09:02.860 bitch. It was giving 1.00

00:09:03.700 presidential avengers, bitch. 1.00

00:09:07.180 Okay? 1.00

00:09:08.020 This is what America 250 1.00

00:09:10.820 is supposed to look like, bitch. 1.00

00:09:13.340 Okay? 1.00

00:09:13.900 This was America 250. 1.00

00:09:15.820 I don't know what that shit on the White House lawn was. 1.00

00:09:18.840 Michelle Obama, you know, America doesn't deserve her. 1.00

00:09:24.600 They don't deserve a Michelle Obama presidential run. 1.00

00:09:27.840 You don't deserve Michelle LeVon, bitch. 1.00

00:09:31.080 You don't deserve Michelle LeVon. 1.00

00:09:33.280 He's just repeating himself seven times for every quasi point he makes.

00:09:38.300 intelligence

00:09:40.060 graceful

00:09:41.460 class

00:09:42.840 intelligence 1.00

00:09:44.540 qualifications bitch 1.00

00:09:47.080 even through 1.00

00:09:51.660 the disrespect

00:09:52.920 I was given hope today

00:09:55.020 it was a hug that was

00:09:56.500 it was like a hug to the country

00:09:58.600 it really was

00:09:59.860 and I don't care what they say

00:10:03.240 you can never

00:10:04.360 make me hate Barack Hussein 1.00

00:10:07.500 and Michelle LeVon, bitch. 1.00

00:10:10.640 Play with your mother. 1.00

00:10:11.880 Don't play with me.

00:10:15.240 Why does he use their middle names

00:10:17.260 or their maiden names? 1.00

00:10:18.660 Yeah, the black homosexual men 1.00

00:10:21.200 are one of the stranger groups 1.00

00:10:23.040 because black men 0.99

00:10:25.520 are one of the last groups in America

00:10:28.680 who have retained a real pride

00:10:31.500 in masculine behavior.

00:10:33.060 This is a point that the Harvard professor 0.95

00:10:35.280 harvey mansfield made in his book manliness 20 years ago black men still retain a they've they 0.98

00:10:44.040 valorize masculinity whereas other demographics don't really do that anymore and so the the black 0.75

00:10:51.060 effeminate man that's a that's a weird one i think so my sexuality is weird and then it gets 0.99

00:10:59.660 even weirder well one i mean you knew you were in for it the minute you saw that not just a septum

00:11:04.280 ring, but a scepter ring on a man. That's really confounding. That's a red flag. But when he says

00:11:10.700 how much he loves George Bush, I say, hold on, wait a second. I remember when Kanye West was

00:11:15.620 saying George Bush hates black people and Bush was Hitler and all this. But because you get 0.98

00:11:19.360 all of the presidents and the first ladies other than Trump at the Barack Obama giant garbage can

00:11:24.820 in the middle of Chicago, he says this was the presidential Avengers. And it just feels so

00:11:29.520 contrived. It feels so corporate. And that's what he leans into at the end. He's like, oh yeah,

00:11:33.120 the Avengers. We just love, we just want to go back to George Bush and Joe Biden. That's what

00:11:37.980 the people really want. Do you? I don't think you do. He says, that's, it's not a corporate event

00:11:42.260 without those guys. And that's the real truth of it. Yeah, you're right. It's not, you're right.

00:11:46.300 Yeah. It's all the big corporate events. They drag those kinds of people out. It feels the Bush's

00:11:51.180 and the Biden's and Obama's to some degree. Yeah. They feel very corporate. I was possessed.

00:11:57.800 And Trump's not that he's not, he doesn't appeal to the corporate boardrooms and he doesn't really

00:12:02.160 appeal to, I don't know, to the old establishment. He kind of broke that, which is why he's the real

00:12:08.340 rock star and the actual rock stars have become, I don't know, have become like politicians. Next

00:12:15.020 one. What's up, y'all, man? Happy 4th of July, man. I don't know who needed to hear this,

00:12:19.840 but I'm at that age now where if you're popping fireworks after 12 o'clock, I'm calling the 0.99

00:12:23.580 police on your ass. There's too much going on with Trump, Iran. You got to worry about the 1.00

00:12:28.300 Lions are ready.

00:12:29.360 You can't even walk outside no more. 1.00

00:12:31.140 So wrap that shit up at 1130 1.00

00:12:33.160 because when 12 a.m. hit, 1.00

00:12:34.900 I don't need to hear shit. 1.00

00:12:36.160 That shit sound like gunshots 1.00

00:12:37.380 when 12 hit the last night. 1.00

00:12:39.200 You feel me?

00:12:39.960 And I'm not playing. 1.00

00:12:41.220 But shit, happy 4th of July, man. 1.00

00:12:42.660 Y'all go eat something good today, man. 1.00

00:12:44.180 I just had to get my little spit up.

00:12:45.940 That was fine.

00:12:46.620 I don't really have a problem with that.

00:12:48.320 I agree.

00:12:48.600 I have little kids.

00:12:49.140 I don't want people setting off fireworks

00:12:50.280 and waking my kids up,

00:12:51.300 dragging me out the next day.

00:12:52.140 That's fine.

00:12:53.420 I don't know why he would blame,

00:12:54.600 you know, Trump or anything for that.

00:12:57.220 he vaguely references

00:12:59.400 the war in Iran

00:13:00.280 but you know

00:13:01.080 all the gunshots

00:13:01.860 in these cities 0.54

00:13:02.500 those are all run by Democrats 0.99

00:13:03.800 but I agree with him

00:13:04.680 yeah I agree

00:13:06.080 I wouldn't have agreed

00:13:06.700 10 years ago

00:13:07.260 but I'm a father of four

00:13:09.020 I agree

00:13:10.680 I don't want them

00:13:11.240 waking my kids up at night

00:13:12.180 alright there's one

00:13:12.840 there's some bipartisan

00:13:13.780 agreement at the end

00:13:14.800 the rest of them

00:13:15.360 pretty crazy

00:13:15.900 happy 4th of July

00:13:17.180 that was great content

00:13:27.220 We'll be right back.
