In this episode, we talk about the Nobel Peace Prize, Yale University discriminating against white people and Asian people, and much more. We are joined by Producer Lydia to discuss it all. Thanks for tuning in!
00:00:23.000You know, normally when I do my early segments on my main channels, I have, you know, a bunch of stories lined up, and I sit there going through them, fact-checking, and I'm thinking, You know, what story is going to be the main story?
00:01:47.000Lydia is the producer and Adam is not on the show.
00:01:51.000And I know that everybody thinks there's like some... I'm seeing all these conspiracy theories and I'm just like, I don't know what to tell you, man.
00:04:25.000Yeah, regular people, because I think, you know, initially what I wanted to do with this show, the reason why it's called In Real Life was that it was going to be in a van driving around, and I was going to do my main shows, and then I was going to stop and then talk to regular people.
00:04:40.000And then because of the impracticalities of it, and then eventually, you know, because of the impracticalities, I was like, let's just do a sit-down podcast, you know, conversation thing.
00:04:50.000And then COVID happened, and all of a sudden we couldn't book guests anymore.
00:05:04.000But I'll tell you what, if it's up to you, if you want to smash the like button, I know there's no Hulk hands, and I respect the criticism.
00:05:19.000So if you do like the show, if you do respect it, then I appreciate, smash the like button, subscribe, notification bell.
00:05:24.000We're still gonna be doing the show every Monday through Friday, live, 8 p.m.
00:05:28.000And we've been trying to line up guests for quite some time, but people seriously have been like, some people gung-ho about not caring about COVID, some people really adamant about like, nah, COVID, you know, I can't do it.
00:05:39.000But it seems like things are starting to ease up, and more importantly, We're trying to relocate.
00:05:43.000Really, really, you know, we're trying to relocate.
00:05:45.000So if we do, then we can get on the road with all that stuff.
00:05:48.000But that being said, it's time that we talk about the news.
00:06:21.000John Solomon's outlets say Senior White House Advisor Jared Kushner and National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien fielded questions in the wake of the historic announcement of an agreement normalizing diplomatic relations between Israel and the UAE.
00:06:33.000Now, National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien, sure.
00:07:07.000People are calling for Trump to win the Nobel Peace Prize after he announced an agreement to normalize diplomatic relations between Israel and the UAE.
00:07:22.000Yeah, so we're just talking about Israel and the United Arab Emirates just finally normalizing relations and the shift in the Middle East politics.
00:07:31.000Most important, I think, from this is the West Bank annexation, and they're putting it on hold.
00:07:35.000So this isn't like totally fixing everything.
00:07:39.000To me, this seems a little bit like a Band-Aid, which may be an unfair characterization, honestly, if they're calling for him to get like a Nobel Peace Prize.
00:08:07.000So, well, look, basically, there are a lot of people who act like the Emirates and Israel have... I'm trying to be careful here, but people have called them proxy states of the United States.
00:08:21.000Of the United States? Really? They think Israel is a proxy state?
00:08:24.000Yes. That's what they're arguing. And so of American imperialism or whatever. And this
00:08:28.000is what I've seen from the anti-war left. And to me, I think you've got an Arabic nation now
00:08:34.000recognizing the existence of Israel. That's fantastic.
00:08:37.000Yeah. And they're going to tourism, direct flights, economics.
00:10:16.000So I was watching because I was really intrigued by this because John Kasich was speaking at the DNC and then Tulsi Gabbard was being like considered to speak at the RNC.
00:10:26.000And I was like, this is the greatest crossover of all time.
00:10:38.000Whatever is going on, there's like, I don't understand how you can have So, look, the criticism I'm seeing of Trump from the left is that this is not a real deal.
00:10:50.000That he held off at the very last minute for, you know, a re-election bump, and that these are two states that already work for, you know, work at the behest of the U.S., so it's no big deal.
00:11:46.000I feel like everything has shifted, because from what I recall when I was growing up, I don't remember my family's attitude toward the idea of a war, but it was never considered, like, bad.
00:12:24.000How do they feel about the war during George W. Bush?
00:12:27.000They were kind of hands-off about it, like they didn't think it was a good thing, but I think that we thought that they had a really good goal being over there, especially after 9-11.
00:12:35.000Because following up with that, they were like, this is something important that we need to do.
00:12:39.000We need to make sure this doesn't happen again.
00:12:41.000Yeah, and it was BS, but it really was the New York Times and the media and many outlets who told us that we were facing these threats.
00:12:49.000And then when it came to Barack Obama, who was like, I don't know, what was McCain's position?
00:12:59.000That's why, like, it's really funny when McCain died, and I, you know, with all due respect, Everybody on Twitter, every political spectrum, was just, like, not having it.
00:13:13.000And there was a meme, it was a political compass, and in the center, it was like an NPC saying, you know, like, love and respect for, you know, service and duty or something.
00:13:21.000And then every faction, the authoritarian left, the libertarian left, were like, F. McCain or whatever.
00:13:27.000And it was funny because, like, I was, I didn't think it was, like, tepid or centrist to say, you know, I can respect him, you know, he died.
00:13:35.000I guess that makes me milquetoast centrist.
00:13:39.000See, I don't really agree with that either, because I think that you can totally make the statement that he, because he was partially, his arms were partially paralyzed because of what he went through overseas, right?
00:14:55.000And I think, you know, when you look at the legacy of Barack Obama with the National Defense Authorization Act, with bolstering our forces in the Middle East and all of the extrajudicial assassination of American citizens, You know, this is rough.
00:15:10.000I know domestic policy is really important, but for me, where, you know, how I viewed the world and how people viewed us and really getting to as close as we can to something we can consider to be utopian, which would probably just be, you know, carrying on in a, you know, freedom, libertarian-ish capitalist system of some sort with like a mixed economy, some kind of social safety net.
00:15:34.000Then I think, you know, worldly affairs are really, really important.
00:15:37.000And I'm thinking, like, how can we actually function as a country if we just routinely do these things?
00:15:43.000And how can we have a constitution when you actually have a president who straight up says, if you're an American but you're in a different country, I can drop a bomb on you?
00:15:51.000Right, and he talks about having a pen and a phone and just bypassing all of the stuff that was put into place to make sure that presidents didn't sit down with a pen and a phone and do all this stuff.
00:16:01.000And like the kind of thing that Democrats are complaining about now with Trump.
00:16:04.000These things that the executive branch shouldn't have control over.
00:16:56.000It was like, Donald Trump is a Pied Piper candidate that would, basically they wanted Trump to be prominent because it would make them lose.
00:17:06.000Yeah, but I think about like, It's really become obvious when you have a two-party system, and then you get a president who's straight up like, eh, I'm over this, let's pull our troops out.
00:17:16.000And all of a sudden now, you have the never-Trumpers, the Republican establishment who ran with their tails between their legs, begging, banging on the door of the Democratic establishment, help us, help us!
00:18:24.000You know, like, Donald Trump has just coordinated this Middle Eastern peace deal, whether or not He's deserving of all of the credit or some of the credit or whatever.
00:20:51.000It's two different countries that have been totally at odds.
00:20:54.000And then President Trump, who supposedly has absolutely no standing in the world, kind of bringing them together and using coronavirus as a kind of.
00:21:17.000Yeah, when Trump started talking with North Korea and the deal, like, to try and work towards peace, I think it's kind of not really gone so well.
00:21:25.000Right. North Korea kind of does their thing and he got roasted for it and what really bothered me is, you know,
00:21:31.000Donald Trump walked in to North Korea Right. With no security. Right. I I was just uh, man, once
00:21:40.000again, I'm shocked. I'm like Peace is possible. So here's my question for all the people
00:21:46.000who are complaining about Trump and all the things He's bad at now like yeah, like so so I saw somebody
00:21:50.000mentioned like, you know, Tim You say you don't like Trump's character who should he act
00:21:55.000more like and I'm like, it's a good it's a good point You know people made fun of George W Bush
00:22:00.000But I'll be honest, I think Trump has done a lot better in the past couple of years relative to where he was when he first got elected.
00:22:07.000And I think it really comes down to, you know, finer points on issues related to social liberalism, you know, just like old old school wedge issues that still kind of exist.
00:22:18.000You know, it really bothers me about Trump.
00:22:19.000And this is not really a popular view, I don't think, because I don't know how many people even think about this anymore.
00:22:25.000But the budget really, really bothers me.
00:23:04.000There are a lot of benefits to a business person in government, but I think we see often in the... Look, man, businesses are authoritarian.
00:24:03.000So now, it's gonna be really, really tough for them to drag him over this, but earlier when I covered this, when it first broke, like this is what I was saying earlier, normally I'll have like, I've got a bunch of stories pulled up, there are a bunch of things I know I want to talk about, then this dropped and I was like, wow.
00:24:31.000When he tweeted, you won't even give, the libs won't even give Trump one good day.
00:24:36.000And that was when he killed al-Baghdadi, who was the leader of ISIS.
00:24:41.000The austere religious scholar, as I recall, yes.
00:24:44.000This to me, like, when I saw the note that came out, the statement that came out from the world leaders, Trump and Netanyahu, and I think it's Sheikh Mohammed Zayed, the crown prince of UAE.
00:24:56.000And I saw these people ragging on him.
00:24:58.000The craziest thing was the people who are too dumb to understand what it was.
00:25:56.000Honestly, I think that this kind of work between these two different countries and kind of facilitating this is fully deserving of a Peace Prize.
00:26:02.000I don't know what constitutes a Peace Prize.
00:27:44.000So, he accepted the Peace Prize in December.
00:27:46.000They announced the award October 9, 2009, citing Obama's promotion of nuclear non-proliferation and a new climate in international relations fostered by Obama, especially in reaching out to the Muslim world.
00:28:04.000The Nobel Committee's decision drew mixed reactions from U.S.
00:28:06.000commentators and editorial writers across the political spectrum, as well as the rest of the world.
00:28:12.000He accepted the award on December 10, 2009.
00:28:15.000In a 36-minute speech, he discussed the tensions between war and peace and the idea of a just war, saying, Perhaps the most profound issue surrounding my receipt of this prize is the fact that I am the commander-in-chief of the military of a nation in the midst of two wars.
00:28:31.000Obama is the fourth president of the United States to have won the Nobel Peace Prize after Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter.
00:28:37.000And Carter's honor happened after leaving office.
00:28:48.000Yeah, I do have to say it was surprisingly self-aware of him to talk about the country being in two different wars at the time that he received this prize.
00:29:06.000There are a couple people, and I'm not entirely sure, so definitely fact check me, I think Obama killed four people that were American citizens without charge or trial.
00:29:16.000And the scariest thing, and this is credit to Luke Rutkowski of We Are Change, he was speaking to people at the, I think it was the debates, right?
00:29:27.000It was the debates, and I think it was the debates.
00:29:31.000They got some interviews, and they asked people, you know, Obama used a drone strike to kill a 16-year-old American citizen without charge or trial, and the response was, yeah, well, he should have had a better dad.
00:30:21.000They don't want to break away from it, but, man, is it fake?
00:30:24.000And here's what I've got to say, because we're going to go into this next story, and it's going to be really bad, so I hope you're all ready for this next story, because we're going to talk about something that the media's been heavily criticized for.
00:30:35.000There is the media that people talk about, like with air quotes, and then there's actual news outlets.
00:30:42.000Local news tends to do a pretty okay job.
00:30:44.000There's a lot of- there's still the same issues that affect local outlets the same as national outlets.
00:30:49.000But the national outlets have a tendency of being...
00:30:53.000I don't know, wings of the Democratic Party, to put it that way.
00:34:55.000They say a five-year-old boy is dead after a man in Wilson, North Carolina reportedly ran up to the child while he was playing in a neighborhood street and fatally shot the child in the head.
00:35:04.000According to a report from WRAL-TV, the shooting took place on Sunday.
00:35:09.000Cannon Hinnant was playing outside his father's house on the dusky summer evening, when their neighbor, 25-year-old Darius N. Sessoms, charged Cannon, produced a handgun, and shot him in the head.
00:35:20.000The child's 7-year-old and 8-year-old siblings witnessed the murder.
00:35:24.000First responders came to the scene and transported the little boy to Wilson Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
00:35:30.000Doris Lebrant, a neighbor, said she witnessed Sessoms running up to Cannon, putting the gun to his head, and firing the weapon before fleeing the scene into his own home.
00:38:48.000Complete and total indifference to the fact that we've had murders going up in this country, violent crime, and we're witnessing in various cities, the district attorneys are straight up saying, we will not prosecute.
00:42:21.000Yeah, because when I talk to my, like, when I try to make a conversation with, maybe it's whatever default liberal is, when I have conversations with them and I say something like, do you ever actually ask a conservative how they feel?
00:42:48.000I don't think fairness is fair either.
00:42:49.000I gotta be completely honest because you can take a look at this.
00:42:53.000When you have Antifa, Black Lives Matter rioters, smashing and destroying small businesses, causing suffering among those who are the most vulnerable among us, immigrant families, where are those who have care and fairness coming out and saying this was wrong?
00:44:42.000Conflict exists, murderers exist, and sometimes, I think in the confines of the state, if you've subdued someone and they're unable to actually hurt anybody anymore, that's when I'm like, I don't think it's right to kill.
00:44:54.000But I understand, if I saw this dude walk up to that kid and pull out a gun, that guy'd probably die.
00:45:00.000If I had the means, you know what I mean?
00:45:01.000I think most people would agree, it doesn't matter who the person is, you watch them walk up to a kid and draw a gun, if you had the power, if you would snap your fingers and they would die an agonizing death and it would prevent that death, you would do it in defense of others.
00:45:53.000I mean, if CNN ran one article where they were like, hey, this thing happened, and that was it, and there was no big, like, you know, Brian Seltzer didn't come on the air and talk about it, I'd be like, they did the story, you know what I mean?
00:46:09.000I think, you know, I was reading this Medium post from a woman named Carrie Smith about how she's a liberal and she's going to vote for Trump and it's because the left isn't liberal anymore, it's because they're lying.
00:46:18.000She wrote about how in the 2016 cycle she was watching videos of Trump supporters being beaten and it made her cry.
00:48:07.000There was a story that when I went to Sweden several years ago.
00:48:10.000I think most people know, but for those that aren't familiar, I went to Sweden because Donald Trump said, you know, look what happened over, you know, last night in Sweden.
00:48:28.000So I decided, you know, with a friend of mine, Emily, we were gonna go and cover and do like a vlog series in Sweden to see what was really going on.
00:48:46.000There's a story there about someone who committed a crime who was Somali and the media blurred his face and hands and then changed the color of the pixels to make it look like he was white.
00:49:20.000When Tamir Rice, you know the story of Tamir Rice, was playing with his toy pistol in a park and the cops ran up and shot him, I was extremely angry about this.
00:50:10.000What I wanted to end with is, there are social functions that tell you you are not allowed to say certain things because it's too close to the line no matter what.
00:50:18.000And I've been explaining this a couple times, particularly how it pertains to COVID.
00:50:24.000If we're not allowed to show you a doctor talking about COVID because he's got good news and we get banned for it, then the only thing you will ever see is everything's getting worse.
00:50:53.000So if the news comes out and says, this is the end of the world, it's the apocalypse,
00:50:58.000you need another side to come out and say, well, hold on, there's some good news here.
00:51:01.000And then people can weigh their views and say, okay, I think the truth is closer to the middle.
00:51:05.000Right now, anybody who says anything like, this is the reason why only conservative outlets for the most part actually talk about what happened to this kid, and I think there's a racial component to it.
00:51:17.000Well, I think this, so this really boggles my mind and I don't think, I think that the fact that the media has no accounting force, I think what you said about them pushing everything toward the extreme by only giving bad news, I think that's pivotal, like that's an important point and I'm not sure anyone really considers that.
00:51:39.000And I know that you can read the news all day, kind of like we do, and just come away thinking, you know, everything's normal.
00:51:54.000Yeah, so, I mean, look, I've had deep conversations with other big podcasters and political personalities, and I'm not—you know, people have commented on how I said in the past, if YouTube came and banned me outright and just got rid of everything, I'm like, I'm gonna hop in the van, I'm gonna go down by the river and go fishing and just relax.
00:52:16.000And I don't care if I have to, you know, if the rest of my life was backbreaking labor working on a farm to grow my own food and live a humble life.
00:52:24.000But it's more about it's really hard to do right when it comes to information.
00:52:31.000How many stories are we not talking about right now?
00:52:35.000How many other people have been murdered across this country all day every day and we don't talk about them?
00:52:40.000And so, to be honest, when I saw this first story, I'm like, man, I'm from Chicago.
00:52:45.000You know, you show me a story like this and I roll my eyes and I say, welcome to, welcome, you know, some of the worst parts of this country.
00:52:51.000And I think for this story, people took it very seriously, and I thought I was perhaps too jaded.
00:52:58.000And I should highlight this, and I should talk about how the media has done a poor job fully recognizing that I think, even coming to the point where I felt like I should have talked about it in the first place, I feel like I'm just playing into the same media machine.
00:53:14.000Oh, everybody starts talking about it, so then I jump on the train, and I'm like, oh, you know, look, now I'm concerned too.
00:53:18.000And it's like, I'm concerned about all of this all the time.
00:53:21.000But, you know, if you only hear from me, if you only watch my channels, then you're gonna get basically what I see.
00:53:29.000And you don't see literally everything I see.
00:53:31.000So people might have their perspective skewed by only watching my content.
00:53:35.000One of the reasons I think YouTube is substantially better than basically any other news outlet is because I hear from a lot of people, they don't just watch me, they watch also Jimmy Dore.
00:53:47.000And that's like, the YouTube platform has created an area where you have different opinions, sometimes arguing with each other, and debates.
00:54:00.000So you're not getting pigeonholed by one media company that won't tell you everything and only wants it to be always negative and everything like that.
00:54:07.000But I do think it's fair to point out, same goes for me, and literally anybody else, man, really, we only ever talk about bad things.
00:54:13.000Well, and to be fair, there's only so many hours in the day.
00:54:15.000There's only so many stories you can cover.
00:56:16.000And I think this gets back to my point about racism.
00:56:19.000I think this is why racism will never die.
00:56:21.000Because it just drives the media and it drives the clicks and it drives the rage that people already kind of have and think they know it's part of history.
00:56:30.000And it's creating a psychotic worldview.
00:56:34.000Let me show you this paragraph real quick.
00:56:36.000They say, At the time of publication, a search of Kenan Hinton produced no results on the websites of ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, New York Times, The Washington Post, Time, or Newsweek.
00:56:46.000It appears that Fox News was the only mainstream media to cover the horrible death of the five-year-old boy.
00:56:52.000International news outlets such as The Sun, Daily Mail, and The Independent have reported on the boy's murder.
00:56:57.000We are being poorly served in this country.
00:56:59.000Well, let's go to international places they're covering.
00:57:47.000And so we've come to a point now where the news sees this, and I don't think it's necessarily a racist thing.
00:57:54.000I think it's more of a, this story lines up with other stories that get traffic.
00:57:58.000Right, maybe they don't even consider that there's a racial component here.
00:58:01.000They're just like, oh, this has all the makings.
00:58:03.000I'm not really going to put my finger on it because I don't care to think about it too much, but I'm just going to go with it because I know this is kind of in line with other stuff we've done that's really, really been big.
00:58:13.000Yeah, it's the incentive machine where like Facebook gives you, you get the numbers.
00:58:19.000Like Twitter and Facebook, you can see those live metrics of your story doing well and this results in a negative feedback loop.
00:58:28.000So these media companies are like, so actually it's a really good example of Mike.com.
00:58:34.000I'm going to say my understanding, and based on what I've read, because I could be wrong about this, and I'm saying that for legal reasons, but initially they were very libertarian.
00:58:43.000And it's really interesting to look at some conservative commentators and go back in their history on YouTube and see how anti-cop they were.
00:58:50.000Very critical of police and police brutality, because the libertarians don't like the state beating people and having that authority too.
00:58:57.000Now they're very pro-cop, and I do think it's not fair to say it's simply they flip-flopped.
00:59:04.000It's that there's a difference between saying, like, please police, stop the violent riots, and supporting police brutality or something.
00:59:10.000Because I don't think anybody supports that.
00:59:13.000But what ends up happening is you get sites like Mike that would put up a video of police brutality and they would get, you know, they would see the live numbers and be like, whoa!
00:59:21.000They'd put up a video of, you know, Ron Paul giving a speech and it'd be like, meh.
00:59:24.000So then they said, we know what butters our bread.
00:59:26.000Pump out that anti-police, you know, videos.
00:59:29.000So do you think it's safe to say that watching what the media does with their metrics is kind of like a glorified version of what happens to people when they're watching their own metrics?
00:59:39.000It's like, yeah, so you know how you can feel crappy or really great depending on how people are responding to stuff that you tweet or talk about on Facebook.
01:00:07.000It's so annoying when I hear, like, people saying simultaneously Tim is the slowest red pill ever, and the left saying Tim flipped as soon as he saw a right-wing audience.
01:00:20.000It's just not—well, I think if you're on the left, I look like I'm on the right, and if you're on the right, I look like I'm on the left.
01:00:25.000Yeah, so it really is like a— Being a centrist!
01:01:00.000Yeah, so I'm giving Tim this look because I know and I think you guys probably also know that the Confederacy was not part of the Republican Party.
01:01:08.000This was never a Republican Party line.
01:01:11.000So the idea being pushed by our new historians, we have a new history now because they're just kind of rewriting it as they go along, is that Trump wants to do this in Gettysburg because he
01:01:21.000wanted to go to where the veterans lost. I saw a progressive journalist tweet out, so Trump
01:01:28.000said he wants to do the acceptance speech for the RNC at maybe Gettysburg or the White House. And
01:01:33.000then this progressive journalist quote tweeted it and said, why would you want to hold the
01:01:37.000speech where your side lost? And I'm like, I read that. I was like, huh? And so I responded, the
01:01:48.000Yeah, the Democrats were the Confederacy.
01:01:50.000But this viral Facebook post is like, why are so many people now defending the Confederacy and why is Donald Trump talking about their statues?
01:01:58.000And I'm like, Donald Trump specifically referenced Jefferson and Grant and Hans Christian Haig and other heroes of the Civil War that were Republicans.
01:02:09.000I mean, Jefferson and Washington weren't because they didn't exist.
01:05:09.000But, you know, maybe before this happened, it was like maybe Cuomo.
01:05:14.000And I ultimately said, at this point, I'm likely going to be voting for Trump.
01:05:18.000And my friend was like, not happy with it.
01:05:21.000Like, I trust you, I've known you, and I assume you've researched this.
01:05:25.000And I said, listen man, in California they voted to repeal civil rights law.
01:05:31.000Like, I understand if you're a white liberal who grew up in a wealthy suburb or middle class suburb, you don't have those stories in your life from your family about what it means to have accomplished civil rights.
01:05:58.000That meant a lot to me when I saw that photo of Bernie.
01:06:00.000I'm like, man, here's a guy who actually fought for civil rights.
01:06:02.000But OK, so this kind of kind of gets me too, because if you care about your friend and you know that your friend is, for example, mixed race and has a history of growing up in a mixed race household, wouldn't you be like, you know what?
01:06:14.000I'm going to put myself in your shoes and try to understand where you're coming from and be like, maybe you're right.
01:06:24.000You know, like these are people I've known my whole life and they literally said, I trust that you've done your research and you know what you're talking about.
01:06:33.000And then we had some, you know, minor private conversation and complete disagreement, but I just said, you know, do you know what it's like when you have a Democratic base in this country that has adopted a cult-like ideology based on literal racism?
01:06:50.000What it means to my family and what we see when they literally voted to do this in California.
01:06:55.000I'm like, all of a sudden, there are people I've known who, you know, I want to be vague enough about it, but people in my extended family who were immediately just like, they immediately saw that and they went, it's Trump it is.
01:07:13.000And I think, it's really easy for these leftists to say things like, We're going to do affirmative action, and it's going to be good for everybody.
01:07:24.000Yes, there are some races that are probably going, it's good for me.
01:07:28.000You know, if you're black in this country, they're telling you they'll benefit you, they'll give you more access if you're Latino.
01:07:34.000If you're white or Asian, however, you know, they're saying the opposite.
01:07:38.000But more importantly, what if you're a mix?
01:07:41.000Yeah, the smallest minority, for example.
01:07:43.000And all of a sudden now, everything they're proposing is like, you go to the gutter.
01:08:04.000Yale University's undergraduate admission process illegally discriminates against white and Asian students.
01:08:09.000A two-year investigation into the Ivy League school found that race is the determinative factor in hundreds of admissions each year in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
01:08:21.000The DOJ said, I'm clapping, a Yale spokeswoman responded, we are proud of Yale's admission practices and we will not change them on the basis of such a meritless, hasty accusation.
01:09:33.000But it's a big difference between polling non-college-educated white people, which they can't do, and polling, you know, African-Americans in this country.
01:10:15.000Every big brand endorsing Black Lives Matter and pushing these things.
01:10:19.000All the racial components, I think, I seriously think that the focus on race right now is because of the fact that Trump is doing well with them.
01:10:26.000And I'm just reminded of the super, like, I forget what percent it was.
01:10:29.000Do you remember what the black unemployment was at before coronavirus?
01:10:32.000No, but it was, like, historically low.
01:10:45.000Burning everything down and just destroying the economy.
01:10:49.000I don't—we've seen the polls from Gallup, and they're behind every step of the way.
01:10:53.000But I wonder if the whole intersectionality bit that they're embracing is because they think it will be popular among minority groups to act like—right!
01:11:04.000Surprisingly, I've seen polls showing that while Donald Trump is doing tremendously well among the black community and the Latino community, not like—he's not beating the Democrats.
01:13:39.000Okay, so that must be why his approval rating is so high.
01:13:41.000Because people want to feel like... Talking about the news being so bad all the time.
01:13:45.000And before someone clips it, I mean literally all races, there are more poor white people in this country and they're being given a chance and an opportunity the same.
01:15:53.000But if you can give someone a job at a, say, meat processing plant, when Trump had federal law enforcement arrest non-citizen workers – I'm being diplomatic, I understand, I know – and these people got deported, we saw a bunch of people, locals, immediately took the job.
01:16:25.000Well, Trump, it was part of what he was doing that opened up these jobs to people who really just wanted an honest, good day's work, and they struggled to find it.
01:16:37.000This makes it, you know what's crazy is, There's a lot of, there's a lot of things about Trump and it's his character that really sets him back.
01:16:44.000There were things he did early on that he didn't know what he was doing.
01:16:47.000I think, you know, John Bolton is an easy, easy, easy example.
01:17:34.000Because of the way he's like, you know, it's funny to see people laugh when he made fun of Rosie O'Donnell, but this is what contributes to him losing a lot of female voters.
01:17:44.000I'll tell you what, though, Trump tweeted out recently, he's like, the suburban housewife is going to vote for me because she wants safety.
01:19:11.000And as much as it's crazy how the left tries to frame it, and I think it really easily comes down to like, I mean, for one, abortion issues.
01:19:20.000Like, I'm very clearly liberal on so many of these issues that have been historically aligned with Democrats, but the left has just jumped off the cliff.
01:20:25.000And you get things like Joe Biden, you know, when he said, the average person can't tell the difference between, you know, someone from Korea or China or something.
01:20:31.000I can't believe, I'm like, have you ever seen these people, dude?
01:20:36.000To me, Joe Biden erasing, like, the presence of Indian people and Indonesian people and Filipino people, Kind of shocking, because I would never do that, and they call me racist all day and night, but I actually care about Asian people going to Yale.
01:20:50.000It really annoys me to beat the dead horse that we know the Democrats have adopted racism as a strategy to try and win, and I wonder if what they're thinking is, Racists exist in all races.
01:21:04.000I know this personally from visiting South Korea and from having Korean family.
01:21:21.000So I visited South Korea and it's really fascinating.
01:21:25.000I've been told outright by many people who are like probably Gen X-er, boomer, that if I actually grew up there or tried to live there, I'd be treated like a second-class citizen.
01:21:34.000I'm not— I understand, you know, I'm mostly white and all that stuff, but I have, you know, family history in Seoul and in some other towns, and they were like, no way.
01:21:45.000It's changing with the younger generations.
01:21:47.000So I don't know— I don't want to pretend like I know everything about the country, because I've only visited it— I've only been there, I think, one time.
01:21:53.000And I didn't spend an extended amount of time there.
01:21:55.000And even, you know, my mom is born and raised in America.
01:21:58.000But that I've been told this by regional experts, journalists.
01:22:02.000And when I went there, like they're they're they're like super racist.
01:22:57.000And I think even if you disagree with him, he's a general populist.
01:23:00.000And it's crazy how I say this, and all of a sudden the left screams and they take a screengrab of it and they're like, Tim is praising Tucker Carlson!
01:23:16.000I was like, I kind of knew that about Sean Hannity, although I have, I have independently limited my exposure to Sean Hannity as much as possible for obvious reasons.
01:23:26.000But seeing that exchange between him and Tucker was like, oh my gosh, dude.
01:23:55.000They say a yes vote supports the constitutional amendment to repeal provision 209 which says the state cannot discriminate against or grant preferential preferential treatment to persons on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in public employment, public education and public contracting.
01:24:15.000To be very, very clear, it's specifically about state-level public employment, education, and contracting.
01:24:22.000They call it the Affirmative Action Amendment.
01:24:24.000I believe that is unfair, because all it does is strike this language that stops the state from discriminating.
01:24:30.000However, repealing it would allow them to do affirmative action.
01:24:57.000So does that mean that in California, if they repeal this, there can be a public job announcement saying, you know, straight white men only.
01:25:11.000And what's going to happen is come November, it's going to be on the referent, it's going to be on the, there's going to be a referendum for it.
01:25:15.000And then people are going to be like, oh, affirmative action, you know, they're going to boop.
01:29:37.000I remember seeing a tweet where they were talking about how in all of these cities, because there's no food anymore, the rats are starting to starve.
01:29:46.000So they're coming out desperate and they're going on hunts in packs.
01:35:23.000But there is a legitimate challenge when, like, if somebody came to me and said, we are going to shut down your entire business completely, you know, unless you do one small thing, you'll find a lot of people would say yes to it.
01:35:39.000Like for me, for instance, I won't say the name of the creepy whistleblower guy because they'll delete the stream instantly.
01:35:54.000But, like, you know, when it came to... I did a segment on masks and, like, hydroxychloroquine and stuff, and I'm like, if they ban me, they ban me.
01:36:01.000Like, I swear to God, like, I have my limits.
01:36:03.000If the news is legit and it's certified and we've got doctors, I'm saying it.
01:36:10.000But I think what's happening is YouTube is saying, listen man, everybody will lose their monetization in an adpocalypse unless we do something.
01:36:19.000So you can jump on the grenade or adpocalypse.
01:36:29.000I think, you know, there are lines and limits.
01:36:32.000Like, if I don't say a guy's name, I can still let you know that there is a name you can't say.
01:36:36.000You can Google this, and it has to do with a CIA whistleblower, and Ukraine, and, you know, now you'll find the person, and you can then investigate yourself.
01:36:45.000If I get myself banned, I can't tell you that.
01:36:46.000However, I will never withhold vital and important news, even if it means the end.
01:36:52.000YouTube deciding I can sacrifice an individual because we're scared for the collective, to me, is how you get into authoritarianism.
01:37:28.000I think Crowder broke no rules, and if they came to me and said, there's an adpocalypse because of what Crowder did, I'd be like, well, Crowder didn't do anything wrong, so that's your responsibility.
01:37:37.000And while you're going to lose ad revenue now, I'd be like, that's too bad, isn't it?
01:37:41.000I would not support a negative action against someone who did no wrong to benefit myself.
01:37:46.000YouTube should have absolutely stood their ground and said, he didn't break any rules.
01:42:15.000JMaxx says, sad to see Adam go but I'm also excited for him and for you guys as well.
01:42:20.000Now more than ever it's important to learn to agree to disagree with friends and family.
01:42:24.000If we're going to make this country work, we have to be able to live side by side.
01:42:28.000And Adam has a channel, it's AdamCastIRL on YouTube and he's got a ton of subscribers and he's literally here setting up a studio and you can watch his stuff.
01:42:38.000below LocalPoco says, neither party has changed dramatically.
01:44:08.000I came up with so many videos of them talking about this stupid border wall.
01:44:11.000And so if they came out and said, we, you know, Trump wants to build a wall, it's a little bit out.
01:44:15.000Like, imagine if Hillary Clinton stuck true to the border barrier and said, a wall?
01:44:22.000We want to build barrier fencing that's practical, reasonable, and cost effective.
01:44:26.000You're going to build a big giant wall, like, by all means, you do it.
01:44:28.000It would have sounded a bit more reasonable.
01:44:30.000And I think the problem the Democrats have is that Donald Trump has moderate positions that most Americans agreed with for a long time, and the Democrats chose to oppose them instead of offering up a better take on them.
01:44:43.000Yeah, that's why I think, like, debate is essential.
01:47:22.000No, but I mean, I'll say it straight up.
01:47:25.000You know, a lot of people were like, we, I see a lot of posts are like, we know Tim's secretly going to vote for Trump anyway, he just won't admit it.
01:47:30.000I'm like, no, no, no, it was not until the riots for the most part.
01:47:32.000Cause earlier this year, I was like, I want to see Tulsi as a national security advisor.
01:47:36.000I want to see Yang as an economic advisor.
01:47:38.000I want to see Trump and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
01:47:41.000And I want to see a legal, you know, a pardon for nonviolent marijuana offenders for the most part.
01:47:46.000And I was like, and then, and then, and then everything went insane.
01:47:49.000And then Donald Trump did try to withdraw our troops in the Middle East, and I was like, OK, you know.
01:48:09.000And now it's I'm 34 and I can't believe I don't think I think I was maybe like 17 or 18.
01:48:14.000I can't remember exactly when this was.
01:48:15.000And now I can't believe that I'm 34 and only now are we getting to the point where it's like we're not going to be in this country anymore.
01:48:45.000Like, there's a budget shortfall for everybody.
01:48:47.000And they want Trump, I guess, to give them more funding.
01:48:51.000Yeah, so it's part of their coronavirus relief effort.
01:48:54.000They're like, you are going to give billions of dollars to the USPS.
01:48:57.000And he's like, they're not going to get it.
01:48:59.000And I was like, I mean, I think that the reason they really, really want it right now is so they can do all their mail-in voting, which Kind of makes sense to me that they're using it as a political pawn.
01:49:11.000I didn't actually listen to the recording, but I think Trump said specifically, like, they're just doing this because they want mail-in voting.
01:51:32.000If someone came to you and they were like, you can work 40 hours a week for $600, Or you can stay at home and we'll give you full unemployment benefits for the same salary.
01:53:08.000Nick Ellie says, one of the reasons Adam is so admirable, because he did what everyone wants and needs to do, speak the truth and take responsibility for the consequences.
01:53:16.000Good luck to him and the rest of you at Timcast.
01:53:19.000And he does have his own channel, AdamCastIRL on YouTube, where he's going to be doing his show and he's still here.
01:53:24.000Literally, we just had pizza an hour and a half ago and we were talking about Trump and stuff, you know, so by all means, you know, we'll see how things roll, you know.
01:53:33.000Steven Rodriguez says, love what you're doing here, Tim.
01:53:36.000Love Adam too, but still support the show.
01:54:24.000But I'm telling you, when I see a friend of mine post complete fake news, support looting and destruction, I'm like, what has happened to you?
01:54:33.000When did you become the person that championed pain and suffering?
01:55:00.000Seriously, because you just destroyed them.
01:55:02.000Or there's the people who have a small restaurant in Chicago, windows busted out, door busted out, having to... Yeah, I remember the guy in Minnesota, the guy in Minneapolis who had his bar completely destroyed before he even had a chance to open it.
01:55:22.000But when I saw that story, dude, there was a guy in Minnesota, he's a firefighter, he's a family man, he was just like, the American dream.
01:55:51.000Because it breaks my heart to see someone work so hard, play by the rules, and then get, you know, shortchanged by these, you know, just to have everything just torn, just destroyed in front of you.
01:56:02.000And I'll tell you what, I feel similarly to a lot of these kids who rack up student loan debt.
01:56:06.000You got a bunch of young dumb kids and they're being told by everybody, you have to get out loans.
01:56:10.000They go into this stupid college system and now they come back out with indentured servitude and they don't know what they don't know what to do.
01:56:15.000And what do you think they're going to do?
01:56:17.000They're going to vote for the commies.
01:57:49.000And, and, and, and the people working with him were straight up like they were going to vote for Trump because they were tired of the media.
01:59:06.000We could probably have a good conversation, but I kind of feel like everyone watching in Super Chat and us would be like, oh, that's actually incorrect.
02:01:17.000It makes me so happy when people message you and they're like, I may disagree with you, but I absolutely think that what you're saying is important.
02:01:25.000I don't know if anyone can hear me now.
02:01:34.000Akipat says, Newly awakened race hate is the biggest social problem we have now.
02:01:38.000The media, aka The Cathedral, look at Michael Malice, is totally complicit in this form, in this, from decades of pushing lopsided critical race theory.
02:02:04.000Traditionally, like when I was growing up, the math problem was something like, it said you have a bushel of apples and it's being delivered to, you know, the processing plant, which can hold a capacity of, you know, 12,396 apples, but your bag carries 13 blah, blah, blah.
02:02:19.000What percentage of apples will not be able to be processed?
02:02:22.000And in this curriculum, it says the police are stopping people in the city.
02:02:27.000If 17,326 are white and, you know, 10,000 are black, what percentage of the police are, you know, what percentage of the people stopped are, you know, are African American, blah, blah, blah.
02:02:37.000Anyway, the point is, even the math questions that are trying to get you to just solve a simple math equation are framed in a intersectional way.
02:04:45.000Liberals, pro-choice, pro-life, standing side by side, holding hands.
02:04:49.000Dave Rubin, gay, married, Yeah, they're friends, we get along fine.
02:04:53.000It's a secret that we agree on a lot of this stuff.
02:04:54.000That we're all Americans, that we all basically agree on the same things.
02:04:58.000No, they're off on their own little whatever.
02:05:00.000the left and the right the democrats the republicans they were very close and
02:05:03.000overlapped yeah i remember now it's democrats are overhear public and secret
02:05:06.000that we agree on a lot of this stuff there were all americans that we all
02:05:10.000basically we don't know if our last name snow if they're there off on their own
02:05:13.000little whatever we can see them you know what man
02:05:16.000It really does feel like we're—the Democrats are the last vestige of a historical political party, and we're going to have the America Party and the, you know, International Party or whatever.
02:05:27.000It's gonna be like the Socialists and the Americans.
02:05:30.000And it might actually divide along terms of whether we want to be involved in wars, because there are facets of each party that are super, super involved in the military-industrial complex, and they can have their own side of things, and everyone else normal and sane can be on the other side.
02:06:38.000It's going to be like, the Republicans are going to absorb every rational person, the Democrats have gone insane and will collapse, and the Republicans will split into, like, the centrist Republicans versus the, you know, the grand old public party.
