Summary
On today's show, we have a special guest on the show, and it's not a guest who should be celebrating July 4th the way you'd expect: TikTok's own TikTok. She's got a lot of thoughts on it, and we're going to talk about it.
Transcript
00:00:00.940
Celebrate Canada Day by getting even more for your points.
00:00:04.700
It's the Super Redemption event at Shopper's Drug Mart.
00:00:17.540
The Scorebet app here with trusted stats and real-time sports news.
00:00:20.960
Yeah, hey, who should I take in the Boston game?

00:00:40.520
If you have questions or concerns about your gambling or the gambling of someone close to you,
00:00:45.920
Not everybody is happy that America is 250 years old.
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?
00:01:00.800
I want to remind everybody because we are coming out of May.
00:01:09.440
I want to remind everybody that July 4th is f***ing cancelled.
00:01:24.760
If I hear a single firework, if I see a barbecue out there, motherfuckers, it is canceled.

00:01:35.120
Aristotle believed that one's physique had a relation to one's other virtues.
0.99
00:01:42.880
He believed that you really could judge a book by its cover.
0.77
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.
00:02:31.340
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
00:02:55.500
Prison reform is like the one thing Trump did 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
00:03:27.020
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.
00:04:36.460
As long as we have crime, we have an under-incarceration problem.
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
00:04:51.780
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.
00:05:01.760
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

00:07:18.100
And so this has been the knock on Trump for 10 years.
1.00
00:07:29.520
Trump, oh, he's named in all these rap songs.
0.92
00:07:34.660
Yeah, that's true, and he embraces it, and it's what gives him a lot of cross-cultural appeal
00:07:42.040
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
00:08:02.260
When Trump orders his steak, he doesn't order it like all the fancy people do,
00:08:09.060
When he wants entertainment, he doesn't go to the opera.
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
00:09:15.820
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
00:09:33.280
He's just repeating himself seven times for every quasi point he makes.
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
