On this episode of the podcast, the boys are joined by special guest Elijah Schaefer to talk about the recent anti-police protests across the U.S. and whether or not they are the work of the left or the right.
00:00:25.000Donald Trump went to Kenosha and he called the violence their domestic
00:00:40.000terrorism and I think he's right just based on everything we've seen across
00:00:45.000this country When you have people walking up to, you know, people who are eating at their diners and they're demanding they raise their fists and they're threatening people and their businesses, their homes, they're vandalizing their homes.
00:00:58.000They went to the condo of the mayor of Portland.
00:01:02.000And they threw flaming garbage into one of the restaurants of his building.
00:01:07.000So anyway, we got a lot to talk about here.
00:01:09.000There's a lot going on, but far be it from me.
00:01:11.000I mean, look, I'm the guy who stopped going on the ground.
00:02:01.000I hate to say it because I don't like to hate anybody, but We've seen it over and over again, the Democrats flaunting their own lockdown rules.
00:02:08.000The mayor of—it was the mayor of Philadelphia, right?
00:02:15.000And then he went to Maryland to go indoor dining.
00:02:17.000Did you see de Blasio, too, in New York, who had just tweeted that everyone needs to wear a mask, was caught outside walking a dog with no mask.
00:02:48.000But you turn on the news and they're like, that Trump calling for more violence.
00:02:51.000Joe Biden's campaign staff, they paid the bail fund for a lot of these people.
00:02:55.000And then Kamala Harris directly solicited this stuff.
00:02:59.000But the media narrative is just, you know, Yeah, but people are smart about this because if you look at even John MacArthur, pastor in LA, you know, when he opened it back up his church, he said, this is a protest, right?
00:03:14.000And even with Trump messing around with that too, saying, oh yeah, yeah, no, we're just protesting peacefully out here.
00:03:19.000I think people see through the BS at this point.
00:03:22.000If you talk to the average person, it actually gives me hope.
00:03:24.000If you just kind of casually in a grocery store, bring up with someone like, Oh, hey, yeah, you know, these masks, I mean, are they really work in the way they're saying people are like, man, I, I mean, I'm just wearing them because I've got to because I've got to wear one.
00:03:37.000And when you talk to the average person, though, for the most part, they don't really know what's going on.
00:03:42.000But they know something fishy is going on, at least like they seem to be suspicious of what's happening.
00:03:47.000Well, I think when you see the mayor of Philadelphia saying, you can't eat inside, you know, it's dangerous.
00:03:52.000And then he looks at his watch and is like, I'm going to go to Maryland and go eat inside.
00:03:56.000You saw Chicago, where Chicago said they're going to give awards to people who can figure out how to creatively help people to dine outside during winter.
00:04:05.000And then another creator named Flecos was like, yeah, it's called indoor dining.
00:04:11.000I get the whole... I get the mask thing.
00:04:14.000I think a lot of people have... It's the weirdest... The mask thing is the weirdest thing to me, because conservatives early on were the ones championing masks.
00:04:22.000When they were saying, don't buy masks, and Fauci's on TV being like, nah, don't buy a mask, ain't gonna do anything.
00:04:27.000I remember Cassandra Fairbanks being like, I'm buying a mask, you guys are crazy.
00:04:37.000Who other than Cassandra was pro-mask?
00:04:40.000You're gonna have to, off the top of my head, I'm not gonna be able to give you names other than Cassandra, but you go on Twitter and when COVID was first happening, end of January into February, yeah, a bunch of conservatives were like- Was this the CPAC when everyone was freaking out about CPAC?
00:04:53.000Dude, I got a message from somebody saying, yo, they just said don't get masks, you better go buy masks now.
00:05:26.000When he died, they said he had COVID, and he wouldn't wear a mask.
00:05:31.000And I'm like, but that's not what they've been telling us.
00:05:33.000They're telling us to wear a mask so you don't get other people sick.
00:05:36.000Are they implying that he died, he had it, and he could have gotten other people sick?
00:05:40.000If that's the case, then why does it matter that he lost his life, that he died?
00:05:44.000It's because they're insinuating it was supposed to protect him, while they're simultaneously arguing it's supposed to protect other people.
00:05:49.000And so that's what... nothing seems to make sense.
00:05:51.000I see people on the right posting this saying, you know, oh, it's not going to protect you anyway.
00:05:55.000And I'm like, no, it's so you don't spit on people.
00:05:57.000It's like to reduce you spitting on people.
00:06:00.000If you wear a mask, you won't spit on somebody.
00:06:02.000But you know, on a funny note, this isn't even scientific, but I love this YouTuber who walked around and asked people if their underwear protects them from smelling farts, and he uses that as his argument against masks.
00:06:14.000I know it's stupid, but it made me laugh.
00:07:35.000These restaurants are having a hard time.
00:07:37.000I mean, I have friends in the restaurant business.
00:07:39.000I mean, these are very successful people.
00:07:41.000And I know firsthand that they have a hard time even sometimes reaching profitability with full capacity, especially if people aren't, let's say, perusing and buying a lot of alcohol, you know, because they make a huge profit margin there.
00:07:53.000I mean, I don't know about you, but like, It's a slap in the face to open up at 25% capacity.
00:07:58.000Might as well stay closed and live on PPE or something.
00:08:01.000My point is, for the most part, that it's over.
00:08:07.000We're seeing some areas with no restrictions anymore, totally reopened.
00:08:11.000Florida, I'm told, is basically just reopened completely.
00:08:14.000A bunch of the Republican states never really fully locked down and won't anyway.
00:08:17.000Fort Worth is pretty... I'm not going to out this.
00:08:22.000So we have a the bar scene went into like full speakeasy during this and like there's some speakeasies there's one local one which I can't talk about but you get into the kitchen and I think they cleared nearly between half a million to a million in alcohol sales in one month in a small speakeasy during the initial few weeks shut down.
00:09:21.000I was in Kenosha for longer than I thought, and you know what's weird about that?
00:09:24.000Kenosha, people don't realize, Kenosha's a little bit north of Chicago.
00:09:28.000I was actually in Chicago covering Black Lives Matter unrest when the riots broke out in Kenosha, and I had to get a rental car and go drive up to Kenosha.
00:09:37.000How long did it take you to get there?
00:10:45.000Well, Chicago, Chicago, what people don't realize too, is, is, uh, there
00:10:49.000was a free R Kelly, um, protest going on there, which apparently has a
00:10:53.000whole cult in Chicago that follow him like a god.
00:10:57.000But in order to calm the riots and the looting, you're talking about on every city block in Chicago right now, or at least last weekend that I was there, between 7 to 10 squad cars per block with about 20 to 30 officers posted.
00:11:11.000Like a post-apocalyptic, just heavy police presence.
00:11:15.000Are they hiring people out of their house?
00:11:19.000And I don't know where they got all these cops from.
00:13:10.000It's, earlier in the year, or even last year, I mean, three years ago, I was like, man, it looks like Civil War, and a bunch of people were saying things like, oh, calm down, everything's fine, and it wasn't like me just making things up, I referenced it all the time, it was an article in The Atlantic, saying, you know, tensions are escalating, possibly the Civil War's becoming real.
00:13:30.000And then a lot of these predictions that I made, they were not grandiose predictions, but they started coming true.
00:13:36.000Like, I was like, oh man, I think we're going to start seeing major riots based on what we saw with Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown.
00:14:23.000He was just like crossing the street and someone saw him and shot him and he took a bullet in the neck.
00:14:26.000Fortunately, it was a .22, but it did hit his spine.
00:14:29.000And so, but so again, look, this is not, I think the good people in this country know it's not about race, but there are certainly racists in this country who want it to be.
00:14:41.000The kid himself was saved by a black dude, you know, who rescued him and then the cops came in and brought him away in an APC.
00:14:47.000But it was, there were a lot of racist people and they were directly targeting people based on race.
00:14:54.000And so I made a video where I said straight up, it is dangerous to be here if you are at least perceived to be white or perceivably white.
00:15:47.000I think it's such a stupid phrase, honestly, people of color.
00:15:50.000I mean, I found out what people of color was in college because this is during like the rise of the social justice warrior, you know, back in the early 2010s.
00:16:00.000And I remember that I had used the phrase, the opposite phrase which was to be colored people and my professor gave me a C- and told me that was a pejorative that was considered discriminatory.
00:16:20.000When they say that you're ignorant or not woke, I honestly, I just had heard that.
00:16:24.000And to be fair, I just spoke to some liberal people who use the same phrase recently, and I didn't know, they didn't know that that had changed.
00:16:32.000And she told me it was a person of color.
00:16:34.000That was the first time I heard of it.
00:17:07.000I'm going, fine, I'm in college, I apologize, whatever.
00:17:10.000I got a C-minus or whatever on the paper for an ignorant mistake, according to her, and I'm just a, you know, young kid and I didn't realize it.
00:17:23.000Like you're getting marked down on your grade?
00:17:25.000This was the same theology class at Azusa Pacific University where she said she made us imagine what if Jesus was homosexual because of the leaning of the chest at the Last Supper.
00:17:35.000And even though not realizing that was an artwork, it was basically everything that's wrong with Christianity and theology in the modern era and post-modern era.
00:17:42.000So it was like an anti-theology class.
00:17:44.000It was like one of those theology class that is probably run by an atheist feminist that knows nothing about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and claims to be a herald and a sponsor.
00:19:29.000You've got... Look, there's only some... Look, early on, when you see like the SJWs in culture and gaming and all that stuff, it's like, wow, we better do something about this.
00:20:28.000But also too, like that kid in the wheelchair probably won't be as good at football as that six foot five, 280 pound freshman.
00:20:36.000Just, just, I'm not, I mean, I'm not predicting, I'm just gonna say there are some things that either we're born with or even our families or socioeconomic status that in the left's terms do allow us and make us privileged in their, this is their words not mine, into having maybe certain opportunities.
00:20:52.000Do I agree that America is the best place to overcome the disparaging differences and negativities in your own life?
00:22:42.000I'll tell you this, when you see the Black Lives Matter sign pop up on Netflix, I want you to go to the people who run the Boston Red Sox and say, so this person, here's a chapter in their book where they say they're a racist.
00:22:53.000Is it normal policy for you to build your marketing based off of overt racism?
00:23:04.000Why is anyone on the left listening to them?
00:23:07.000Listen, this is where my mind fireworks.
00:23:12.000My brain explodes because what I've always noticed too, is it's the people lecturing us that are the ones going, Hey, look, man, let me, it's like this being like, look, man, I want to talk to you about your violent tendencies and fixing them.
00:24:14.000She says that when she walks into a room full of black people, she feels uncomfortable.
00:24:18.000And that's, again, my understanding is coming from critical analysis from other people, but if that's true, I mean, she's an avowed racist.
00:24:33.000See, you come up with a good point, and I can't out these people, because now they have really high-ranking level jobs in big corporations, and they may or may not have relation to me.
00:24:50.000I'm just saying, like, according to their own, they're self-avowed, self-described.
00:24:53.000And the things they say about minorities in the United States are things I've never thought to even say.
00:25:00.000And I'm going, no wonder why you think everyone's racist, because you have such racist thoughts about people that you think we all do.
00:25:07.000Like, for instance, I was in an elevator with one of these people.
00:25:10.000And these Asian people walked in, and this is their words, not mine, do not take me out of context, and I'm going to use- Just don't quote them.
00:25:16.000No, I'm going to use very subtle- Just paraphrase it.
00:25:18.000Yeah, translation, of like, oh my gosh, they said, why are Asians so not aware of their social surroundings and so annoying?
00:25:27.000And I literally sat there, and they're standing right there, like, how would you just say that out loud?
00:25:31.000Now, this person fights racism, they're against racism, everything, I'm going, Well no wonder why you're fighting racism whenever like an Asian just maybe coincidentally like just maybe is in a conversation ignores you and you assume that all Asians are just ignorant of social spaces in public.
00:25:45.000That's a discriminatory thought across the board because not all Asians are first generation.
00:25:49.000So going back to the point you made where you're like the murderer says I've ripped you know people's heads off.
00:25:55.000See, the counterpoint I would have is, if Robin DiAngelo came to me and she told me she was an avowed racist, who is uncomfortable around brown people or black people or whatever, and then she said, have you ever had this thought?
00:27:14.000Because if we can still laugh at racist jokes towards white people, then people still understand that there's a difference between humor and culture and real, actual hatred in your heart.
00:27:23.000Like if you can still make a joke about a white person and be like, you know, like let's say I try to like dunk a ball and I miss or something and someone goes, yeah, nice jump white boy.
00:27:30.000And I'm not like, I've had a black guy say that to me on a basketball court.
00:27:33.000Believe it or not, I play basketball sometimes bad at it because I'm left handed and I've compound fractured my left arm.
00:27:39.000So the ball always goes a little bit some weird direction.
00:27:56.000There's tons of white people who jump in the NBA.
00:27:59.000Nobody thinks white people inherently can't jump, but there's just stereotypes that white people like bland food, white people don't dance.
00:28:04.000But nobody's like, if I dance and it's funky and someone says, oh, you can't dance because you're white, I'm not offended!
00:28:33.000But so, deriving from these jokes, people take them seriously, and I think this is a perfect example of why you get people on the left who feel the way they do.
00:31:18.000I almost got a 4.0 in molecular biology.
00:31:22.000I did extremely well in my advanced courses, did research, worked on projects for immunotherapy.
00:31:29.000Believe it or not, I know my show is so funny.
00:31:32.000I purposely am just trying to be very relaxed and normal like I am in real life.
00:31:35.000But when it comes to the books and math and things, some of us still do maths, you know?
00:31:40.000Well, so what's up with this program you're talking about?
00:31:42.000Yeah, so I applied to it because I missed some of the application dates for some of my grad schools and I was going to just take a year off and I was like, eh, no, I'm going to go do this program.
00:31:53.000And I had to go to the training before we started school.
00:31:56.000I got my credential, I did all the tests and blah, blah, blah, constitution training.
00:32:00.000And I passed everything first time and I'm ready to go.
00:32:02.000And then I have to go to this training in Los Angeles.
00:32:06.000And the first thing they made us do was to split off into groups of being the
00:32:25.000But there was a group of people, I'm not even gonna use heterosexual or anything, but it was basically just like said, if you like women and you're a man, or you're a woman and you like men, go to this group, et cetera.
00:32:36.000It was weird that we're talking about our intimate life at a teacher's thing.
00:32:41.000Like I'm thinking like, I don't know about you, but when I'm in a room with strangers, I'm not interested in what's going on there.
00:32:49.000It's an exercise in independent function of an individual.
00:32:54.000If you go into a building and they say, here's a job and we are going to negatively impact your life and your salary and your job if you fit certain criteria.
00:33:04.000And all you have to do is be like, oh yeah, I'm gay, sure, whatever.
00:33:19.000And I remember they're like, does anyone have any negative thoughts about this?
00:33:21.000And I said, yes, I have thoughts about this.
00:33:24.000What does this have to do with teaching high school students about cellular function?
00:33:29.000All I need to tell them is the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
00:33:33.000And tell Juan to stop looking at inappropriate images during class on his phone.
00:33:38.000I understand most of it's just class management, but when it gets down to it, I was realizing they were even talking about how there's certain words you can't use, you're not in control of the class, you're managing the class.
00:33:50.000There's all this weird SJW stuff, and I even hate that word, so 2017, but it's true.
00:33:56.000This was during that era, so I can use that, 2016 era or whatever.
00:33:59.000And I sat there and I go, Something is wrong with this country where I've come in to teach kids science, which is very indiscriminate.
00:34:09.000In fact, for a lot of time, besides people think there's all these debates and evolution and everything, not in real science.
00:34:15.000Science, everyone just goes, whatever, evolution, you disagree, agree, let's go do research.
00:35:02.000But it was one of the big guys and he took me on and I complained about it publicly and said, I cannot, this was during the time of outrage where people were just starting to wake up, and I'm going, I cannot believe I'm trying to get into science and be a professor and go in this direction, and I'm being asked about who I sleep with?
00:35:16.000I'm being ostracized because of the color of my skin?
00:35:20.000I'm in this program because I did well.
00:35:21.000I'm in this program, not like boasting, but I'm here because I have high marks, because I'm overqualified.
00:35:27.000I'm here, I'm a blessing to this program, not being prideful, but meaning, I'm actually looking at this, not the program, like, you know what?
00:35:34.000I would love for a year to invest in some high school kids' lives, junior high kids' lives, pour into them, teach them about life, science, help them get into some good colleges.
00:35:41.000But no, I ended up quitting the program because they demonized me over a weekend experience, literally.
00:36:19.000I don't know if it messes with your live monetization, I'm just saying.
00:36:22.000Oh no, we're gonna talk about the riots in a second.
00:36:23.000I'm just saying with Antifa, hey guys, if you're watching this and you're tearing down your city, burning it down, just so you know, you can become a successful YouTuber just like Tim Poole.
00:36:38.000No, okay, we'll get to that, but I was gonna say, so they had this weird Me Too-esque exercise where we had two separate groups split up and one group got in a circle and we closed our eyes And they had the other group walk around the circle and touch on the shoulder people who they agreed met this question.
00:36:57.000So they'd ask something like, who changed your experience this weekend?
00:37:00.000And people would walk up and touch the person with their eyes closed shoulder.
00:37:21.000I would start making noises and go, I don't like to be touched!
00:37:24.000And I just, I have stories of when I, so I went to high school for about two months and then ultimately they were like, this kid can't be here.
00:37:37.000They realized I could not be in this school because all of the loopholes, all of the cracks in the system, oh, I found all of them.
00:37:44.000And I preyed upon every assumption, everything they did, so that they could not actually, like, I found predicaments to put them in where they were like, what do we do?
00:37:56.000There's just funny circumstances where they would try and challenge me on things, and then finally one teacher just told me to F off and gave me an F on a... It's a long story, but I tried preying upon the assumptions of one of the assignments by creating a circumstance in which he couldn't call me a liar, and then ultimately he just took a blank sheet of paper and put an F on it.
00:38:16.000It's a longer story, but... See, I like that.
00:38:19.000So I got expelled from high school and then I almost got expelled a second time.
00:38:23.000So I'm proud of you for not even going because it was kind of not worth it.
00:38:27.000I wish I had those kind of cojones or whatever when I was in high school, but I do know that when I was about to get expelled for the second time from my second high school, they asked me why I crossed the line.
00:38:40.000And similarly I said, I didn't cross the line, I was smart enough to bend down and see that it was flexible wire.
00:38:46.000And I grabbed it and I stretched it further past anyone that had ever gone, but I'm still on the other side.
00:39:01.000And so I remember, the reason I didn't go to college specifically was that I read an article from an economist who said, if you go to any investor and say for $40,000 over four years, you will owe $40,000 plus interest, they'll laugh in your face.
00:39:17.000And so I was like, wow, that doesn't seem to make sense.
00:39:32.000Yeah, well, like, you know what, though?
00:39:35.000Luckily, we're in COVID, so it's currently frozen.
00:39:39.000But I will say, I'll pay that off pretty soon.
00:39:42.000But I'm just gonna say at the end of all this, when people asked, when at the end, they had a question of whose opinion, like changed your mind the most about the world this weekend, which is weird, we have a weekend training, A lot of people me to me in that moment, you know, and you
00:39:54.000do you mean they touched me while they taught you.
00:39:59.000And I don't mean that it wasn't like a glory moment.
00:40:01.000It was actually a pathetic moment where I was going, Oh my gosh, these are college educated
00:40:04.000people who probably come from decent universities, you have to have a certain grade cut off,
00:41:24.000They rewrote a chapter from Mein Kampf but put in feminist buzzwords and it got approved or something like that.
00:41:28.000Anyway, we were having a conversation before about whether this started in the universities or started with the media, and I think a lot of what he's saying is true.
00:41:37.000But I think it only broke into the mainstream because of social media algorithms.
00:41:42.000The general idea, to simplify, because I talk about it quite a lot, is if you make a video or article... YouTube doesn't work so much this way, but on YouTube... On Facebook, if you make a video about police brutality, it'll get a thousand shares.
00:41:56.000If you make a video about racism, a thousand shares.
00:41:59.000If you get a video about racist police brutality, it gets a thousand plus a thousand shares.
00:42:04.000So, you know, X plus Y. So what ended up happening was companies realized that what was making them the most money was mashing as many keywords as possible into an article.
00:42:11.000Thus, you get these ideas becoming predominant, you know, very mainstream in 2008.
00:42:20.000It was, I think it was 06, you know, it was around the Facebook time when people were finding out they could monetize the Facebook news feed.
00:42:26.000And then by like 2010 you can see all the data and LexisNexis the hockey stick of inclusivity and white fragility and all these phrases are skyrocketing because they realized mixing keywords like there's an article from Vice where it's like black trans women of color fighting for Black Lives Matter against police brutalities proves the patriarchy is real like they just they jam it all in there because what happens is the algorithm shares it with more people.
00:42:50.000And so, that leads to where we're at now.
00:42:53.000And I think one of the reasons, it really does, in my opinion, describe your experience, but I do think the ideas had to exist first.
00:45:10.000They are the real world. Yeah, now they're in their 30s and they're running nonprofits and they're infecting so you're
00:45:15.000so this is the first I'm hearing of the fact that you know, cuz obviously you
00:45:19.000predate me by like just a couple years But still you've been in this game and you've been run now
00:45:23.000you're running it you you're like, this is pretty crazy You're saying that the algorithms are almost what drove the intersectional push, which is kind of in line with the Bible scripture that says not that money is the root of all evil, but the love of money is at the root of all evil, which probably transcends multiple cultures.
00:45:42.000But I believe the Bible is authoritative in that source in that you're saying that this is like Basically, very important.
00:45:49.000They love money, so then they bring us this doctrine.
00:45:52.000This doctrine moves in, it brings more money.
00:45:54.000So all at the source of this is somebody saying, we're going to get rich off of effing over the entire country, let alone the whole world.
00:46:25.000One guy writes intersectional stuff, one guy writes police brutality, one guy writes about science, and then all of a sudden they start realizing intersectionality does the best.
00:46:35.000They're not looking at this person being like, okay, intersectionality articles are doing great.
00:46:39.000What happens is they say, have you seen John's articles?
00:47:08.000The companies that worked naturally just hired those who got the traffic, and this created a big bubble of empowered media personalities who were woke, far left, and now many of them have moved up in these companies, and now they're 30 or 34 or whatever, and now they're hiring young people who agree with them, and now the New York Times, for instance.
00:47:28.000They were raised on their milk, basically.
00:47:30.000You know, but that's what I'm seeing, you know, and the really interesting thing is about this whole intersectional push and this weird dogma is how quickly it's become mainstream, which is really interesting because, you know, I have a theory here.
00:47:43.000People always ask, you know, people like Alex Jones or Milo Yiannopoulos or Laura Loomer, like, why did they get taken out?
00:49:36.000These people, if you know anything about the military people, they don't care about your sexual orientation, race, creed, color.
00:49:42.000They're all about camaraderie and brotherhood, etc.
00:49:45.000And so what I've seen is this weird intellectual warfare, where now the establishment or the
00:49:51.000real mainstream right, we're all like essentially right-wing terrorists according to the
00:49:57.000establishment media, and the left has this free pass to write articles that at some point I don't even
00:50:02.000know if they're serious. Well, so this is where it gets funny. Alex Jones used to talk about
00:50:07.000something, I could be getting this wrong, problem reaction solution.
00:50:12.000It was something I used to see on the internet way back in the day.
00:50:14.000The idea being that, you know, look, these Illuminati types, they're gonna create a problem, and then once the people react, they come in and they're the solution.
00:50:25.000I just remember seeing that stuff on the internet and the libertarian web and the conspiracy stuff.
00:50:29.000The idea being the government sparks the issue and then only they can solve it, vote for them.
00:50:34.000They're literally posting that right now, the left, about Trump.
00:51:16.000Now, those same people who think that the fascists are coming, they like Hillary Clinton, or whatever, they're screaming that Donald Trump is creating the riots across the country so that you must vote for him.
00:51:31.000They're literally pushing the old school internet conspiracy line about the government creating problems so only they can solve it.
00:51:43.000You know what strikes me the weirdest is the fact that we constantly get accused of being exactly what the people are that are accusing us.
00:51:53.000And I mean this very thoroughly speaking.
00:51:56.000What people maybe don't know is I run a show called Slightly Offensive.
00:53:21.000I can't let somebody else die in my family.
00:53:23.000The family, my family's broken over this.
00:53:25.000And so when I'm in these situations and these race riots, dealing with my own tragic death in my own family, I, You know, I've been married a couple years, taking care of my wife, and I see something happening and I'm going, I've got to run to that.
00:53:36.000I am definitely thinking just this needs to come out to America.
00:53:40.000And then I put that footage, oftentimes censored, to meet YouTube or big tech guidelines.
00:53:48.000Anything that isn't censors, bleep it out.
00:53:50.000We bleep it out so that it's just like normal broadcast television.
00:53:53.000And then my video gets age-restricted, it gets taken down, my account gets throttled, they tell me I'm borderline, etc.
00:54:00.000And I'm going, wait a second, my opinions aren't even partisan!
00:54:05.000When I'm there and I look at the stuff that happened in Kenosha, the altercation between the young man and those other individuals, when I'm there and I filmed it, and I witnessed it, and the other angles are my friends, and we scoured over this footage, and we looked at it, and we came to a conclusion, That's actually journalism!
00:54:27.000If I have four or five angles and individuals and we discussed and we talked and we come to a logical conclusion off of what we saw and where we were, why are we conspiracy theorists?
00:54:37.000Why are we the ones that get discredited?
00:54:40.000But yet journalists like the New York Times and Washington Post, the night of those events, which I'm going to be careful the way I word it because I know these algorithms, the way they try to pick up these words to just throw these streams off, When I was there and I watched that Twitter curates at the top of the feed, you know, here's what happened.
00:54:56.000And it's from articles who had not yet contacted the journalists who were there, who did not quote us, who, from what I saw, were not on the ground in that moment.
00:55:05.000It makes you wonder, it makes you wonder, are we really the extreme people?
00:56:54.000You know what, I have, and unfortunately for them, I've never watched them because It is a grift.
00:57:00.000I mean these guys are they've always complained They're always getting hyper political making millions of dollars talking about they've not all of them.
00:57:06.000Well, but okay Yes, not all of them, but I've seen that I I'm kind of anti elitist Like I don't like it's not that I'm against sports and I love I love all-american pastimes etc people.
00:57:15.000I'm glad people have pastimes I just don't like it when wealthy people who live very comfy lifestyles lecture America.
00:57:21.000I've never been comfortable for sure They're not working-class But what I'm seeing with this idea of getting woke going broke, it's not a universal law.
00:57:29.000There have been movies that have been woke that have done really, really well, but they're not authoritarian woke for the most part, right?
00:57:34.000The example I like to give is Into the Spider-Verse, where they have Miles Morales, Afro-Latino Spider-Man, and they don't make race the point of the story like these woke, crappy movies do that end up bombing.
00:57:46.000So I think this intersectionalism, this weird cult-like behavior, is isolating.
00:57:51.000It's making regular people say, I don't want to be a part of this, when they're forced into it.
00:58:08.000Our culture is very individualist for a very simple reason.
00:58:12.000The people who left the European countries to come here were, I would rather land a boat on an empty shoreline and just start foraging for food than deal with you.
00:58:24.000And we're the descendants, not all of us, uh, you know, because part of my family didn't come here until the 19- actually, I think all my family didn't come here until the early 1900s, or the late 1890s.
00:58:31.000But America is- is- has been culturally built off of those ideas, and they don't just go away.
00:58:37.000So we are very staunch individualists.
00:58:39.000I imagine most people are gonna say, leave me alone, or else.
00:58:43.000So when you start getting the things you're talking about, where they're like, tell the world you're racist,
00:58:47.000eventually people are gonna say, I'd rather go live in the woods and build a farm
00:59:32.000I'm very much a California person in a lot of ways.
00:59:36.000And I always found it really funny because there's this group of individuals who got really mad at me for... Do you know Jesse Lee Peterson is?
01:00:09.000It's not even like, hey, what's your political standing?
01:00:11.000I said, you know, I'm a California conservative, which to people who live in California knows what that means.
01:00:15.000It means I hold conservative values, but I also live around really interesting individuals, and I'm the minority, and I've learned how to work, operate, eat, drink, and be friends with people who think vehemently different than what I think about the world, and I'm okay with that.
01:00:36.000But this group of people got super, super mad that I said this.
01:00:40.000But I think that there's this whole part of America that is being ignored, where whether you would call it a respectable Democrat or a California conservative, there's this whole civil group, like the main swath of America, that is somehow being dejected from the conversation, like you said, about people being called extreme.
01:00:56.000I've never been considered an extreme person.
01:00:59.000I never in my life have considered my politics to be extreme.
01:01:02.000You probably run into extreme people online too.
01:01:18.000But I also think, too, that this idea of the extreme people kind of taking the narrative and batting it against each other, where I know the far right, and it's like 200 people that exist.
01:01:46.000But because they have scapegoated us as that, I just have to be careful on the right that we're not forgetting that there's this whole swath of people that are feeling very much alienated and homeless from what they knew to be the Democratic Party.
01:02:01.000And that's why I don't want to call it Republican.
01:02:03.000I don't want to call it conservatism, because a lot of these people aren't conservative.
01:02:48.000The exasperation was kind of funny because I was like, I really think the best way to put it is we have a different, there's an ethical barrier between us, but we recognize we should sit down and just keep talking to figure out each other's worldviews.
01:03:12.000They try to make it seem like those people that are right-wing establishment are fringe and extreme.
01:03:16.000It's like, no, there are some right-wing extremists.
01:03:18.000What I'm upset about is not the fact that you guys want to call out extreme right-wing people.
01:03:22.000I'm mad that while calling out right-wing extreme people and talking about the negativity of who they are, You then put on a pedestal left-wing extremists.
01:03:30.000Like if you're going to fight against extremism, you've got to be consistent because that's what,
01:04:22.000If you took the Democrats, and you looked at where they were in the last election, and then you take someone like AOC or any member of the squad, and you actually map their personal policy positions they've espoused, and their calls for unrest, like Ayanna Pressley, they are so far left, you can't even call it radicalization.
01:04:44.000If AOC really is the new face of the party, which a lot of people have said, maybe she isn't, but she's got, you know, 8.5, whatever, million followers.
01:04:53.000You go from a Joe Biden saying, you know, Barack Obama's administration, they called Obama the deporter-in-chief, because he deported so many people.
01:05:19.000And Joe Biden comes out recently and says, do I look like a radical socialist?
01:05:23.000And I'm like, no, you look like a bumbling old man.
01:05:25.000But you've come out in the debates with these insane fringe positions that nobody wants, except for a tiny fraction of screaming people.
01:05:32.000Well, that's what's coming into mainstream politics.
01:05:34.000But that's what strikes me as interesting because what I realize is this, and this is where I think I know why this has happened, okay?
01:05:41.000Because what happens is that people lose touch with reality.
01:05:46.000And I know this because when I watch influencers, right, and I watch people, I will see, and I talked to Ezra Levant at Rebel about this, about how a lot of influencers on the right get pulled towards extremism.
01:06:02.000I'm going to make a point about the left here.
01:06:05.000What the extreme fringe right does is they essentially try to make you seem like, hey, we're the real right.
01:06:21.000We might have some weird ideas about certain races and people, but just listen to this.
01:06:26.000Everybody else is selling out the country.
01:06:29.000And if you really want to save it, you've got to come closer and closer to our ideology.
01:06:33.000And then you share a couple ideas that might agree with what they agree with.
01:06:36.000Because, I mean, take any random sample of people.
01:06:38.000Anybody might agree with something you say.
01:06:40.000And then they start getting mad that you don't agree with everything they agree with, because clearly some of their ideas are extremely toxic.
01:06:49.000So what happens is someone could have 200,000 followers on Twitter, but then they have 2,000 of these random accounts, multiple or run by the same person, flood their inbox, go on there.
01:07:00.000If you're a small-minded person who's out of touch with reality, you think, Oh my gosh, everybody wants me to go towards these extreme ideas!
01:07:18.000These are extremists who are trying to push you into this cultic idea that what you're doing is somehow ruining the country unless you follow them.
01:07:27.000Now, I know that, you know that, people who work on the right that are smart know that, or left, that extremists aren't the status quo.
01:07:34.000But if you are easily manipulated, like Joe, somebody who's bumbling mentally, incapacitated in some ways, these people are dangerous in the fact that intellectually they will take advantage of you.
01:07:47.000The Democratic Party, uses Twitter as their public opinion barometer.
01:07:52.000So all of the fringe extremists on Twitter who will bombard one of these journalists or these politicians with crazy opinions, they think people must want this.
01:08:26.000So if you just took that swath of like 50,000 people that are like in the hundreds of thousands and verified to millions, that's 50,000 people out of a population of what, 350, 370?
01:08:36.000So over 300 million people, you're talking about like 50,000 people deciding the discourse Of the whole country.
01:08:43.000Maybe take out half of those of people who probably don't engage politics online.
01:08:46.000So like 25,000 people are literally creating the entire narrative for what's the whole country.
01:08:55.000And I mean, not that I'm that influential or anything.
01:08:56.000I'm just pointing out the fact that like 25,000 people out of 300 million plus sort of dictating what the news is, what goes on shows, et cetera.
01:09:06.000And when Donald Trump then invokes law and order, and regular life, regular people, just like normalcy, that's what they're trying to do with Biden.
01:09:16.000That was one of the arguments, that Joe Biden invokes this idea of normalcy.
01:09:20.000It's like, remember the Obama years when life was regular?
01:09:36.000So, you know, look, I think we'll see how this plays out, but the bigger issue, the bigger question I have, now that we're, you know, we're in the gist of it, let's talk about these riots.
01:09:45.000Have you heard about what they're calling the Red Mirage?
01:10:06.000And so this is a guarantee for disaster.
01:10:12.000Because if on election night they say Donald Trump has won every state but California, Oregon, and Washington, people are going to be like, you did it.
01:10:23.000Trump supporters are gonna say he did it.
01:10:25.000And then a week later, they're gonna come back and go, oh, by the way, Biden actually won.
01:11:32.000There's specific places and regions where you do your fighting is not to exhaust limited resources.
01:11:38.000Especially because it's hard to get public and proper public backing to a civil war.
01:11:43.000It's definitely something that I would say the majority of populists are usually opposed to in most times.
01:11:48.000And no one wants war on their doorstep, especially a developed country of people who have seen it happen in other countries that we are fighting for democracy in.
01:11:59.000This, we are, and I will declare this here, I put my branding, slightly offensive, backing, I cannot put the blaze backing on this, but I put my branding, I think we are in a soft core civil war.
01:12:11.000And I mean, you know the other type of hardcore soft core material.
01:12:15.000But I'm saying soft core, meaning like, to me, it's like, because, you know, I'm not gonna, listen to my wording here.
01:12:21.000In the 80s, the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, someone would find a magazine, you know, a kid would find it of their parents or whatever and be like, whoa, what's going on there?
01:12:29.000Then with the advent of the internet, we got all these weird categories of this kind of adult-like content.
01:13:44.000No, no, no, I'm talking about the far leftist guy.
01:13:46.000Who is accused of this, right now, under the assumption that we know who the guy is, the murderer, because they're investigating the guy.
01:13:53.000He has a big Black Lives Matter tattoo on his neck.
01:13:56.000He yelled, we got him right here, we got a couple right here, someone else says pull it out, right here, yeah.
01:14:01.000Then Jay and the other guy turn around, the guy who dies pulls out, it appears to be that he pulls out Mace, and then takes two to the chest.
01:14:09.000The friend of Jay, I think his name was Aaron Danielson, said that they were walking— No, I think Aaron Danielson's the victim.
01:14:30.000They turned around and this is before he knows what happened, two shots were fired, and then his friend staggered down and died.
01:14:36.000At that point, it's... I mean, we're... it's almost... I mean, maybe it's not, but maybe it is.
01:14:42.000The shot heard around the world that we've crossed into hot territory.
01:14:46.000We've been seeing low-tier skirmishes, and we've been seeing resource battles for the past couple of years.
01:14:52.000I was talking about civil war a few years ago, and a lot of people scoffed and laughed about it.
01:14:57.000And then the things I predicted started to happen.
01:15:00.000And then I talked about earlier this year that they'll show up to your house and then they showed up to Cassandra Fairbanks's house.
01:15:04.000I did remember earlier on you were saying that and I didn't think you were lying.
01:15:07.000I was just there in the midst of this and I remember hearing reports from people like you saying they're coming to the houses and I remember thinking in that moment like that's gonna be so weird when that happens and I didn't know it was gonna happen like now.
01:15:18.000It's happening faster and faster and faster.
01:15:30.000I have a company, which I'm not gonna plug on your show because I wouldn't want to plug my own sponsors, but I have a great armor company to sponsor my show.
01:15:37.000And I see they're providing me all this stuff.
01:16:05.000They raised $2 million for Jacob Blake.
01:16:08.000They're launching GoFundMe fundraisers and GoFundMe allows it.
01:16:13.000They're posting on Twitter their Venmo and their, you know, cash app or whatever, and they're getting money from random people online.
01:16:19.000Probably a lot of people from outside the country too.
01:16:21.000The point is not so much about financing because I think, and we'll definitely talk about Donald Trump's theory about, you hear what he's talking about the planes full of thugs?
01:17:06.000I try to be careful, because even when I film footage that is not debatable, good old articles and periodicals like The Intercept, very dishonest places, will do whatever they can to discredit you.
01:17:17.000So I try to keep this stuff out of the air, but one thing now, do you know about these really incredible journalists that have risen out of these riots?
01:17:26.000Like Kaylin Delmeda from Scriber, Drew from Lives Matter, I think you guys have them tomorrow.
01:17:32.000There's Drew, George Ventura, Shelby Talcott, Richie McGinnis from The Daily Caller.
01:17:38.000Andy Ngo, of course, everyone knows Andy Ngo.
01:17:40.000These are just incredible people who are out there just exposing this stuff.
01:17:44.000And one thing that a lot of them have mentioned is like when you fly out of major QLA airports like Los Angeles and you will have people on the plane like when I was going up to Sacramento or when I'm going up to Portland people are on your flight with helmets and stuff and they're not press.
01:18:01.000Nobody brings helmets, black clad helmets and stuff.
01:18:04.000I'm watching people and this is where the Kenosha stuff The police found out, right, that there was 44 different cities in the detainments and arrests.
01:18:52.000So Trump brings this up, and the media and all these leftists are calling him a conspiracy theorist right now.
01:18:57.000And I'm like, when Trump said that, I was like, and?
01:19:00.000Because I used to fly, at the peak of my career covering this stuff on the ground, I flew about 1.7 times per week, if you did the actual math.
01:19:09.000So just about twice per week, I was flying on some plane somewhere.
01:19:12.000Were you like executive platinum or something?
01:19:54.000So the Antifa snack van, Savannah Hernandez from Action 7, she was in Portland about a few days earlier of the RNC speech with Trump, and she had recorded the snack van's tires being slashed.
01:20:50.000They decided to make an actual drink that would help keep them hydrated and keep their electrolyte levels up.
01:20:57.000People underestimate how much better you perform when you're properly fed and hydrated.
01:21:04.000So when you see the Antifa going out and giving out energy drinks, they're literally fueling the unrest.
01:21:11.000I don't know if you're gonna charge someone for handing out bags of Cheez-Its, but when people are running around and you give them food energy, you are ensuring it goes on longer, particularly if you're giving out drinks, energy drinks, sports drinks, or whatever.
01:21:24.000I didn't, you know, and I think that's where the complicitness in a lot of these riots come from different factors.
01:21:30.000And I want to bring this up, like, whether it's short distance, by the way, the point of the Antifa snack ban is it was in D.C.
01:21:48.000Let's not get too, you know, out there with these ideas.
01:21:51.000Everyone's, you know, going across borders.
01:21:54.000But what I did know is I do ask people.
01:21:57.000Austin Fletcher, I mentioned him earlier, a really good creator, early in 2017-2016 used to ask people at the end of them complaining about Trump, famously, oh, who did you vote for?
01:22:07.000And they would always be like, I didn't vote.
01:22:12.000There's so much unreleased footage on my channel and things I've been releasing recently because once you involve some sort of gun-related altercation, etc., everything else that you could post is not worth it at that point.
01:22:24.000I understand as a journalist, it's just not worth posting random interviews.
01:23:52.000I drank a beer on set with Stu Brigere, who's a host at Blaze.
01:23:58.000And it turns out that the owner of the of the brewery, you're not going to know which one because you don't know what episode that was, is actually likes the right coverage in the show.
01:24:09.000And now I'm going to go get some beers at the place.
01:24:11.000But I get what you're saying is like the connections, people are passionate about this stuff and they want to support it.
01:24:16.000So you're saying you don't think it's because I know people say it's like, oh, the open society, it's Soros.
01:24:20.000You think it's more just now crowdfunded.
01:24:22.000It's not even crowdfunded, it's social credit, social currency.
01:24:25.000So I still know a lot of people who do this.
01:24:50.000I sometimes mention that you can buy emergency food.
01:24:54.000You work harder than most people, though.
01:24:55.000Really, you put out too much content in a good way.
01:24:58.000Well, so, these people can literally, because what I did, when I went to South by Southwest the first time in 2012, March, I just tweeted, anybody got a place I can stay?
01:25:14.000Yeah, well you know what, and that's why there's this, it's really interesting right now too, because I know that during the 2016 era, a lot of people rose to influence, where like, this is what I noticed, is that people came out of like 2016, there was this influencer, political influencers, where it was like, you don't exactly know why they're famous, but they have influence, and a lot of them have, I mean, I'm a married man, I'm not saying this inappropriately, you know, a lot of these are very good looking girls with very nice bodies that young men probably just like to follow, because men like to hear women that look good, Spouse their ideas on camera.
01:25:44.000It's why Fox News hires a bunch of blonde women.
01:25:52.000You know, but a lot of these people are just, I don't know what they do and I don't have an understanding, but a lot of, and you know, they're good looking.
01:25:59.000But the people who are rising up during this election season are like myself, like these just like fugly guys who, who are like, Hey, I'll go try.
01:26:55.000There have been a bunch of scenarios proposed by high-profile individuals on the left.
01:26:59.000The founder of MSNBC said he thinks that the House will give it to Trump, even though Biden wins, essentially, and that it's going to lead to chaos.
01:27:11.000So this is a real emotional switch right here.
01:27:14.000This is something that... I'm not a psychic, so please nobody in November clip this up to try to discredit me, but this is my real raw feelings.
01:27:26.000I think the energy, the momentum, and the people are behind Donald Trump, and I think it's evident.
01:27:32.000I mean, it was... Do you want to know something?
01:29:19.000The only way I could think that things are cut like this, other than pure insanity, Because if you want to talk about security, Trump is more hated than Joe.
01:29:29.000And Trump doesn't have this kind of level of distance.
01:30:52.000Just get rich, not be smart and live in the best country in the world.
01:30:56.000One of the best basketball players ever.
01:30:58.000But I'm saying you don't have to be smart.
01:31:00.000You just go around and throw around a little ball, hang out, make giant brand deals, and then just talk crud on your whole country that got you there.
01:31:07.000But there are NBA players who are standing up for this country and, you know, are legit.
01:31:12.000And I'm not saying they're necessarily smart, either.
01:31:55.000It's kind of weird because I'm a Christian and, you know, my mom, you know, rest in peace, she used to, because she was like, my dad's a pastor, my mom's a pastor's wife, so she would like hate, she used to hate South Park because it was like, you know, it was just a lot of like private jokes and things.
01:32:11.000It used to be like a show that didn't know what it was there for and Jew jokes and things that are just crass and the average person doesn't like and it's kind of, Just tasteful edgy, whatever but kids liked it.
01:32:21.000It's weird how they've become like the most honest political Like I guess commentary show and it's a paper cartoon these guys have They're not even conservatives or anything have seen through the BS almost better than anyone and what a statement in 2020 That a guy named Tim Pool, who's not with a network, who funds himself and is not getting back-end money from some country, is having one of the most powerful voices, and even more slap in the face, is not just a guy on YouTube running a more successful business and getting more viewers than a network, by the way.
01:32:54.000I mean, you get millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars in these terrible shows, and you're getting a better viewership, live viewership, than all these organizations, non-profits, etc.
01:33:04.000It's like, well, maybe Tim Poole's just this guy in a beanie and he knows something.
01:33:07.000But it's like, what if we just cut up some paper and manipulated it on our computer and it tells a truer story than multi-million dollar broadcast networks?
01:33:15.000I mean, it doesn't matter if it's establishment.
01:33:20.000It's just like, look at the technology behind it.
01:33:34.000I haven't watched any of the later episodes, but it's hilarious just to see that these shows like South Park and The Simpsons have predicted so much.
01:33:41.000But it's so honest, and that's what I was gonna say about the show.
01:33:42.000Like, she used to not like it, but then she warmed up to it.
01:33:45.000My mom, she wouldn't watch it, by the way.
01:33:46.000My mom, my mom, people that know her, she had a cult following, too.
01:33:50.000But she understood when I'd show her, you know, parts about it, that it became, the humor stopped being, oh, I gotta make a racist joke, or I gotta make this kind of joke.
01:35:17.000It's a, it's, listen man, LeBron James is wearing a vote or die shirt.
01:35:21.000It's literally a joke from South Park.
01:35:23.000Can I just, can I just say, I think we, I think in 2016, the sweet meteor of death actually came and wiped us all out and we all went to purgatory together.
01:35:30.000So this was, this was before, this video on South Park was made before.
01:39:51.000I started getting harassed, starting getting death threats, and they recognized me, and then you reach a certain threshold, and I think you might run into that too.
01:39:57.000I don't think it's safe now, but you know, Antifa treats me pretty fairly now.
01:40:02.000They've given me two concussions, actually.
01:40:04.000I've been hit in the head with like brass knuckle type things just back in January.
01:40:31.000But if my life is in danger, I am now fully capable, without hinting on what that means, I am fully capable and surrounded by people to defend it.
01:40:38.000And I do not operate out of a place of vulnerability anymore.
01:40:44.000And I'm telling you, if you're part of Antifa, if you're around these people, Elijah Schafer is not somebody you want to mess around with because even if you somehow took me out, you would be taken out very shortly after because of the people I'm surrounded with.
01:41:05.000You know, at a certain point to be most effective, you can see that there are some people who just can't go on the ground anymore because they get targeted and it was happening to me and I was like, I don't want to be on the ground being the story with people running up to me and that's what was happening.
01:41:21.000Sometimes I spend 250 bucks on a trip changing outfits and buying new clothes and sometimes in a day I'll change three times while covering things.
01:43:02.000Dom D says, I've been talking about this since 2017.
01:43:05.000I don't believe the moment Trump started is conservative.
01:43:08.000It's just America first, where everyone can come together.
01:43:11.000From my research, it feels like this is the last gasp of what caused the Civil War, mass division before peace.
01:43:17.000So long as the lunatic racists don't win, I think that was our conversation about my California voice, which people love to make fun of, but I think is awesome.
01:43:27.000our elections was nothing but basement war using a VPN to cover the bathing suit area vids and zombied out trolling
01:43:33.000Americans f I've no Idea what you're trying to say. I think that was our
01:43:37.000conversation about California voice with people love to make fun of but I think is awesome
01:43:41.000Yeah, it is hundred percent. I'll take it Matt rims coffin says journalism today is like the armchair anthropology of
01:43:46.000the 19th century Have artifacts sent to you at home and use your imagination
01:43:50.000to write the book you ever see one of the earliest drawings of an elephant
01:43:54.000It was described to a guy and he drew this picture and it's hilarious
01:43:58.000It's so funny. That's about right Yeah, and there's like, there's really funny images where they're like, if someone found a bat skeleton and didn't know what the bat was, here's what they would draw.
01:44:08.000And it's a gigantic monster with big fingers, because they wouldn't know that there was wings.
01:45:24.000Jethna says, please invite Ethan VanSkyver as a guest.
01:45:27.000He's an NJ and has crazy stories of dealing with SJW lunacy, currently making them cry because he's over a $1 million on a crowdfunded comic book.
01:46:50.000I know, because I was gonna say, my podcast is on audio as well there, and I just feel like the numbers aren't there, though, compared to YouTube.
01:46:57.000I feel like there's such higher numbers on YouTube.
01:47:04.000From the audio, people listen longer than people watch.
01:47:07.000So if you put a two-hour podcast on Spotify, half the people listen to the whole thing, and then 20% of the people listen to the whole thing on YouTube.
01:50:02.000I wouldn't have friends that are disappointed in me for my voting because if they're my friend then they should know that I don't give a crud about people's feelings about what I vote for.
01:50:11.000It's like, I'm sorry dude, if you're gonna tell me that you're disappointed, I know what you're saying though too, I have friends too that are like, me and my friends do not talk about who we're voting for, we just live our lives authentically and that should show what you're voting for.
01:50:23.000No, I think this is good because the response was, we should talk about it.
01:50:47.000So they have these generic, normie, default liberal opinions they've seen from the TV.
01:50:53.000So when they say to me, you know, I'm disappointed but we should talk about it, what that says is for one, they're actually my friend and they want to talk with me because even if they're of the opinion I shouldn't vote for Trump and they're actively trying to help me, I respect that.
01:51:06.000This is something I talked about, you know, because I'm not religious.
01:51:09.000When people would say things like, I'm praying for you, My response is like, I really appreciate that.
01:51:17.000When people would say, I'm praying for you, he said, that means a lot to me because it says that you're willing to do something because you're trying to save me, you want to help me.
01:51:32.000Somebody to tell me that they don't like Trump and they want to talk to me about it, says a lot to me.
01:51:35.000Because there are a lot of people who just explode and go nuts and post insane things.
01:51:39.000And I'm like, we were never really friends if you wouldn't want to just talk to me about what's going on in this country.
01:51:43.000And you think that I would just willy-nilly choose these things.
01:51:47.000But the remarkable thing about a lot of these people I know who have gone full SJW and are screeching into the wind, they don't read any news.
01:51:53.000They just see memes from, like, Occupy Democrats.
01:51:55.000And, like, TikTok, like, 15-second videos that describe things in extremely reductionist ways.
01:52:13.000I was gonna say... Did you... Okay, hold up.
01:52:16.000Because these are both people you know, and I know... I have not met... You've been on Joe.
01:52:21.000You and Joe are friends, right, Rogan?
01:52:23.000I would say, yeah, I guess I talk to him relatively often.
01:52:26.000There's this YouTuber that recreated Joe Rogan and Ben Shapiro on.
01:52:30.000I was dying because he goes, Joe's like, they did a pretty good Joe impersonation, like, yeah, Ben.
01:52:38.000So I think we should give all of our kids just like a bow and arrow and put them out in the wilderness.
01:52:45.000And Ben Shapiro goes, well, if you go to my website right now, you go to cashforgold.com, talk to Ben, that's C-A-S-H, and he goes, and Joe's like, Are you seriously plugging your sponsor on my show?
01:52:56.000Yeah, if you go to Cash for Gold, and he starts, he doesn't even know he's speaking, he just literally starts going... So, Joe's actually hard to do an impersonation of.
01:53:05.000There's like a really funny video about Joe Rogan having a chimp on his show.
01:53:09.000I forgot what the channel's called, but you can look it up, and it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
01:53:14.000He's like sitting there, and he's like, I'm so excited to have you on, and there's a chimp just going like...
01:53:19.000And then he's like, he's smoking a bong and he goes, that's crazy.
01:53:23.000And the chimp is just like, ah, ah, screaming.
01:53:27.000But I was watching that and I was like, I'm not trying to be mean, it's a really, really, really great video.
01:53:31.000It's hilarious, I laughed, I was laughing my ass off.
01:53:34.000But I'm like, it's really hard to do an impersonation of Joe Rogan.
01:53:43.000But I think the wording, like I think in that same video, they're like, hey, I think we're going to try to set the record for talking about elk meat the fastest in this episode and in any episode.
01:53:52.000But then Ben Shepard just goes, hey, listen, listen, Ben.
01:53:54.000And he keeps plugging his own advertisement.
01:55:45.000And so I started making one video per day, every day, no matter what.
01:55:49.000And if it meant that I didn't know what I was doing, I just had to like sit there and grind as hard as possible to figure something out.
01:55:54.000And sometimes it was kind of bad, sometimes it was kind of good.
01:55:56.000And then once I got the role, once I started just getting that down perfectly, I was like, I could easily do a couple more.
01:56:03.000And so now I'm at, you know, so there's of original content minutes, about 3 hours and 40 or so minutes, in terms of maximum total content, it's about 6 hours.
01:56:15.000So how it works is, there's 2 hour live, there's 1 hour and 40 minutes of recorded segments throughout the day, and then the 2 hour live is broken up into individual segments.
01:56:24.000So the total output is 6 hours, a little redundant, so it comes down to around 4.
01:58:10.000So I remember there was one protest I was covering, it was one of the Trayvon Martin protests, and we walked literally the entire length of Manhattan.
01:58:31.000So we had to drive like 30-40 minutes out of the county to just get McDonald's.
01:58:36.000And people don't realize that at these things sometimes you like... What's healthy to me is taking one of the breads off each of my double cheeseburgers.
01:58:43.000Like, that's why people, people will talk, will talk like people like, Oh, you gain some weight doing this.
01:58:48.000I go, dude, you know, what sucks is it's three in the morning and you have two options, McDonald's limited menu or Burger King limited menu.
01:58:56.000And unfortunately, after you've been running around, you know, you're not going to eat a salad and, and it does tax you and it wears you out.
01:59:04.000I remember when I covered the collapse of Occupy Wall Street, when the police came in, I did a livestream for 22 hours straight.
01:59:41.000And I think a lot of these people, and I'll tell you this, because you know this, a lot of these journalists I mentioned earlier, like George and Kaelin and Drew and stuff, and Andy, you can see how they've aged from this.
01:59:54.000I'm 27 years old, but like you see right when I got into this, I had bleached blonde hair.
02:00:24.000But it's like when you get your shin busted out by DHS and you're stuck or when you're traveling, you know, you go out to go to Chicago and you buy all your groceries and they expire in your fridge because now you went on another, you got called out because somebody else decided to burn down their town.
02:00:36.000It's really hard to take care of your health.
02:00:39.000This is a very hard industry to take care of your health.
02:00:41.000Yeah, there were a lot of days where I would start losing the ability to walk because you cover a protest for four hours, no water, no potassium, you're exerting yourself, and it's like running a marathon.
02:00:53.000And all while wearing a gas mask, too, half the time, with no oxygen, and then your pores are burning on the side of your face, and every time you sweat, but people don't realize about being in clouds of tear gas for multiple hours,
02:01:06.000is it soaks into your DNA or something.
02:01:10.000I mean, this is totally anti-science, but let's just go with it.
02:01:12.000Yeah, but I mean, what I'm saying is, it feels like it becomes a part of you,
02:01:16.000and then the worst part of the night is when you get in the shower,
02:01:19.000and you feel like you're, it's like lava.
02:01:35.000Oh, I know yes I do know this but there's a there's a scene where Willem Dafoe's character discovers a way to turn back to being human when he gets ejected from his car burst into flames and hits the water so they have this scene where Ethan Hawke is in this vat and And they open it, sunlight comes in, and he bursts into flames and screams, and they close it, he's like, and they open it again, he bursts into flames.
02:01:56.000You're coming home, you're coming back from, when I was in D.C.
02:01:59.000on inauguration night, during the Trump riots, when he was getting inaugurated, I was covered in pepper spray, just like, aw, dude, all over.
02:02:05.000Was it the bear mace kind, or did they just cover you?
02:03:03.000You know, that especially if you have, you know, manscaped recently or anything that's all sensitive, if you've done anything like that, guys, you know, you gotta take care of what you gotta take care of.
02:03:13.000And it touches these freshly cut pores and stuff down on the family jewels.
02:03:18.000And oh my gosh, like I remember the first time my old producer did this.
02:03:21.000You just hear in the bathroom, the shower turns on and I go, three, two.
02:03:32.000It's funny when you're hanging out with someone who's never actually gone through it, and it's like the first spraying is kind of bad, but then after like 15 or so minutes, they forget about it, and you just know they don't understand what's coming next.
02:03:43.000So they're like, you get the spray on, you get tear gas dried on you or whatever, and then you go about your business, and it's like, you're mildly uncomfortable a little bit.
02:04:07.000But the best part about this is, is that like what will happen is, so a lot of times a lot of these journalists are looking, you know, they're trying to figure out how to finance themselves.
02:04:14.000So I've been trying to really help these guys, give them, you know, let them stay in my hotels with me, whatever.
02:04:19.000So what will happen is it's like four guys who have just been reporting, taking off all their riot gear that's been doused in spray.
02:04:24.000The whole room, you're just coughing the whole night.
02:04:27.000You can't stop coughing, but the worst part is when I get home my wife, she'll open up the bag and it'll burn her eyes and make her cough.
02:05:36.000It's the poorest, you know, one of my, one of the biggest things I hate about the tear gas is, so I've gotten some pretty, I mean, you know, like I, I get shot up pretty often by like, I'm glad I haven't gotten the big rubber discharges, you know, like those.
02:05:47.000I got some, yeah, they're sitting around somewhere.
02:05:48.000Where they just give you like massive welts.
02:06:22.000Yeah, because they have the pepper balls.
02:06:23.000And I think what people don't realize too, what always ends up happening is, is I always end up getting hit pepper balls in my knuckles, which you see a lot of, like there's a ton of scars.
02:06:32.000And then I end up getting chunks ripped out of my, out of my, out of my fingers.
02:06:36.000So I have like all these, you'll see all these like just random like scars from pepper balls, ripping chunks out of my fingers.
02:06:41.000And so sometimes I'll come back with holes.
02:06:43.000And I would say, but literally my least favorite part, and I will say this more than all of this, of doing this is just, That it gets into your neckline.
02:06:52.000And so every time you sweat a little bit more, the water starts dripping and it feels like
02:06:56.000little flames dripping down your back.
02:06:59.000And you're recording things and it just feels like needles.
02:07:02.000And it's like, I'm not against acupuncture, but not while I'm covering riots.
02:07:06.000Have you noticed traditional journalists being morons during riots?
02:07:09.000Oh, they have no idea what they're doing.
02:07:54.000It looked, the body shape looked like an infinity.
02:07:56.000And they're breaking open the windows and they're trying to light it on fire.
02:07:59.000And then good old, you know, young K-boy comes, Kyle, he comes over here and he's, and he's comes to the other side of the window, the broken out window where this altercation happens.
02:08:10.000Um, you know, you can check out, you know, whatever.
02:08:12.000But I was there and when I started hearing the bullets go, Cause there was one that went off right before.
02:08:18.000So I hear like this and I'm like, and then I hear, I think it was like five or six shots.
02:08:25.000Well, I'm just saying like in the, in the, in the moment, like I, I don't, I don't know how many I heard, but then what people don't talk about is right after all the extra gunshots that started going off, like up to 20 in different directions.
02:08:36.000So I just ran behind a brick wall because at that point when you start hearing gunshots, Bullets flying all over the place.
02:08:41.000This was not like that idea of not knowing what was happening I heard it and I ran took me about 45 seconds for everything to stop For me just to run back over and see that somebody had been completely, you know hit in the head but but I'm just gonna say something like There's a difference of hearing gunshots and then seeing muzzle flash and having that happen right in front of your face.
02:09:03.000I did run because at that point I'm actually thinking my safety, it's not just like I'm scared, I'm like, if I don't get behind something now and this escalates... That might be it.
02:09:24.000So, one thing that was really interesting that I was trying to fact check the other day, but I don't know if I can, was that the New York Times reported the dude was being chased, the Kenosha Kid was being chased by Rosenbaum, and then someone fired into the air.
02:09:37.000So, Kenosha Kid turns around, and then Rosenbaum lunged at him and tried to grab the gun, and that's when he fired four shots, the New York Times said.
02:09:45.000And so I pulled up this story from ABC 13 that says Rosenbaum followed Rittenhouse.
02:09:50.000Medical examiner said he was shot in the groin, the back, the left hand.
02:09:53.000The wounds fractured his pelvis and perforated his right lung and liver.
02:09:56.000He also suffered a superficial wound to his left thigh and a grazed wound to his forehead.
02:10:02.000Is the superficial wound to his left thigh not from a gunshot?
02:10:40.000The perspective the left has on this is that the skateboard guy sees a dude running on the street with a gun and thinks, oh man, I gotta stop him, right?
02:10:47.000Have you watched his livestream though?
02:11:29.000A few very good journalists worked with them.
02:11:32.000It's not perfect and they didn't listen to everything that we said.
02:11:35.000But what happened is, and what people miss, and I tried to cover in my show, was that There were, uh, the owner of a gas station was guarding his gas station with firearms and with people to, from people who were trying to loot it and, and destroy it.
02:11:52.000And what happened was, is that the rioters who, it was already an unlawful assembly.
02:11:56.000This was, you can say, Oh, it wasn't fair to riot.
02:11:59.000They had already started vandalizing, breaking lamp poles, et cetera.
02:12:02.000They grabbed two or three cones, and I have footage of this, and they lit them on fire in the street, which is fine.
02:12:08.000But this is about 50 feet away from a gas station.
02:12:10.000So some of these, I don't want to call them vigilantes, they were just people that were young men guarding businesses.
02:12:17.000Because I don't know if they were connected.
02:12:19.000I don't know if Kyle's group and the other group at the gas station were connected, but I know how the anger started towards these people, right?
02:12:25.000So they put this fire out, but here's where it got really heated.
02:12:27.000So everyone got mad, and this is when it started being, Oh, F-U-N word, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, going in this direction.
02:12:32.000So then the rioters take a dumpster and they steal these, you know those like advertising flags, those tall ones from like a Boost Mobile store?
02:12:40.000And they start stuffing them in a dumpster that they took from the side of a residential business, a residential house next to the gas station.
02:12:49.000And they light it on fire and then they push the dumpster on fire towards the gas station.
02:12:56.000Which, look, I'm not Einstein, and I don't understand pyrotechnics like an expert, but I think a dumpster on fire pushed towards a gas station, even though it probably won't light it on fire, it's not a risk I'm willing to take.
02:13:17.000So they immediately come over, the groups defending the property, and put out the fire.
02:13:22.000That's what started the major altercations, was the fact that they were putting out fires near a gas station is what really escalated the tensions.
02:13:31.000And people forget that, is that the reason why these people were mad, despite them threatening, was predominantly over putting out fires that could have threatened not only the business, but everyone who was there.
02:13:43.000My Twitter at Elijah Schaefer, even easier.
02:13:45.000It's official slightly offensive on Instagram.
02:13:47.000You'd like just go back like a week or so.
02:14:48.000That was like one of the first big moments of the flashpoints in the Ferguson riots was they burned down a gas station and it was owned by an Indian.
02:16:44.000So it's not like this guy, you know, meandered through Gotham and, you know, had to like, you know, cut the throat of Joker to get there and somehow, you know, was the biggest villain of them all.
02:16:54.000This guy literally could just, I mean, it's close enough and a straight shot, literally straight.
02:16:58.000And it's just like, yeah, I could work in Canada.
02:19:36.000I can say a bunch of words that would confuse the average person.
02:19:38.000Like earlier today when I said I did a switch hardflip, I was trying to do a switch hardflip late 180, and I almost accidentally did a switch hardflip late frontside flip.
02:19:45.000Most people are going to be like, I have no idea what those words are.
02:19:48.000Like if I said someone did a nollie flip crook, nollie tray out, revert, or I guess it would be a nollie 540 bigflip, A few of your followers are like, yeah.
02:19:55.000Yeah, a lot of them are like, dude, that's a crazy trick.
02:19:59.000Yeah, I used to be pretty good at like nollie flip crook, nollie heel crook, but now I mostly just... Hey, there's a lot of people doing good at crook.
02:20:05.000You know, there's a lot of crooks out there right now, right?
02:20:47.000I know what you're saying, but I was just trying to be... It ends with a Y. I know, but I was saying the... because people just call me E. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:20:56.000I know how it's spelled, but just say... So we have to make this joke that, like, you could be at a skate park and talk about busting fat lines on... I can't even say it.
02:21:15.000Well, I play it safe a bit, but there's a word we use for transition skating, which is shortening, which is considered a slur against transgender people.
02:21:23.000And if you talked about- Everything's a slur against transgender people.
02:21:25.000No, but this is literally, like, the- Kinda legit.
