On today's show, we talk about the latest in the Mark Zuckerberg scandal, the St. Louis shooting, and the crazy things that go on in Missouri and Texas. Plus, a man in a car with a loaded rifle on the loose in Austin, TX, and a man with a gun on a patio in Missouri.
00:00:51.000Bias against conservatives, and it's not even necessarily conservatives, it's just perceivably against conservatives, has been a major issue over the past several years.
00:00:59.000And I have long said that Republican politicians are too stupid to know what's good for them to actually deal with this to solve these problems.
00:01:06.000Well, there's very few Republicans that actually think do work, and Matt Gaetz is one of them, so he's doing what I would argue is a good job.
00:01:12.000We gotta go after these big tech companies.
00:01:13.000But we do have a bunch of other stories today, so make sure you smash that like button.
00:02:50.000Some guy was walking around with a rifle.
00:02:53.000And a car, a regular person, was driving through, and this guy, now we have some new updates from the police, this guy with the rifle walks up with a bunch of other people.
00:03:03.000In a photo, you can see him holding the grip.
00:03:05.000Some witnesses have said he pointed at the vehicle.
00:03:08.000In the photo, we don't necessarily see that, but it does look like he's gripped it, like he may be ready to fire.
00:03:13.000And the driver shoots this man several times, speeds off, and someone else fires at the vehicle.
00:03:22.000The left has raised a hundred grand for this man who was marching around with a loaded rifle and approached a regular citizen, and they call him a martyr.
00:04:23.000He's a journalist, and he actually drove around, and surprise, surprise, in today's day and age, most people wouldn't expect it, he did real journalism.
00:04:29.000It's as simple as him just driving to various businesses in various cities and asking locals how they felt, and seeing the real carnage that the riots had wrought.
00:04:38.000And he talks about how people aren't actually focusing on the victims.
00:04:41.000He called it a media scandal of epic proportions, that journalists have ignored months of suffering and chaos from the destruction of these riots, and they're focused on culture war issues.
00:05:01.000I got extremely angry reading this article because, I mean, these far leftists are literally salting the earth of these poor communities to make sure they could never flourish.
00:05:33.000I wanted to express my thanks for all the hard work that you and the rest of the crew put forward every day.
00:05:39.000While I've been overseas for the past couple of months, I've been listening to your posted YouTube videos and your longer format show with Adam and Lydia.
00:05:47.000They provide an excellent source of context to the cable news we see overseas.
00:05:52.000I've shared more than one of your videos to the younger airmen in my shop and it's been a pleasant surprise how many of them were engaged in the things you were saying.
00:06:00.000They've even helped spark off several long, deep conversations around our break room around all sorts of issues, like what actually constitutes oppression or the importance of emotional maturity when trying to effectively take a position.
00:06:17.000And now the debate about free speech and what that means for a private online service, whether you believe so or not, having a couple precious hours to distract from the humdrum of everyday life in the desert can be a big morale booster.
00:06:31.000In return, I would like to extend a token of our appreciation and support.
00:07:03.000This is to certify the accompanying United States flag was flown on a combat mission in support of Operation Inherent Resolve on board the U.S.
00:07:35.000We're going to, I believe, framing it.
00:07:38.000I want to make sure we do everything properly and with appropriate honor.
00:07:42.000Get it framed, get it hung up so we can have it and maybe even, we're moving to a new set and maybe even have it behind us the entire time.
00:08:28.000They say representative from Newsweek by the way, representative Matt Gaetz on Monday filed a
00:08:31.000criminal referral against Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for allegedly making false statements
00:08:36.000to Congress during two joint hearings in April 2018. Gaetz said Zuckerberg repeatedly and
00:08:41.000categorically denied Facebook engaged in bias against conservatives
00:08:45.000or censored content supportive of President Donald Trump.
00:08:49.000However, a Project Veritas investigation revealed the overwhelming majority of content Facebook's artificial intelligence filtered was in support of Trump and other Republican people and ideas—ideals.
00:09:33.000The Republican congressman sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr asking the Department of Justice to investigate Zuckerberg.
00:09:40.000The statements in question were made during a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing, and again at a joint hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee.
00:09:51.000Quote, as a member of this body, I question Mr. Zuckerberg's veracity and challenge his willingness to cooperate with our oversight authority, diverting congressional resources during time-sensitive investigations, and materially impeding our work, Gates said in the letter.
00:10:05.000Such misrepresentations are not only unfair, they are potentially illegal and fraudulent.
00:10:12.000Newsweek reached out to Facebook, but they have not responded.
00:10:16.000Zuckerberg told senators at the April 10th hearing that he understood concerns legislators had about conservative censorship because Silicon Valley is an extremely left-leaning place.
00:10:25.000He said he shared that concern and it's something he tries to root out in the company.
00:10:29.000The next day he responded to a question from Representative Steve Scalise by saying, there was absolutely no directive to have a bias in anything we do.
00:10:37.000To the contrary, our goal is to be a platform for all ideas.
00:11:01.000We can all go to sleep and have a nice little dream.
00:11:04.000During Veritas's undercover investigation, a Facebook content moderator said she would delete every Republican item that showed up on her queue.
00:11:11.000She added that she doesn't remove anti-Trump content, even if it violates the policy.
00:11:17.000If someone is wearing a MAGA hat, I am going to delete them for terrorism, another moderator said.
00:11:34.000At the time of the investigation's release, James O'Keefe, the founder of Oz and CEO of Veritas, said the findings raised serious doubts about Zuckerberg's testimony on Capitol Hill.
00:11:43.000O'Keefe added the report called into question Facebook's immunity under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
00:11:50.000Gates wrote in the letter to Barr that the findings of the Project Veritas investigation were in direct contrast with Zuckerberg's testimony that Facebook was a politically neutral platform.
00:11:59.000Facebook's AI screening content is not politically neutral.
00:12:03.000Neither are the moderators hired to review content flagged by the AI program, Gates told Barr.
00:12:07.000This stands in opposition to Zuckerberg's congressional testimony and violates the good-faith provision of Section 230C2A of the Communications Decency Act.
00:12:16.000The congressman asked Barr to investigate Zuckerberg for making materially false statements to Congress
00:12:21.000while testifying under oath and asked for full and proper consideration.
00:12:25.000First of all, Project Veritas, James O'Keefe, bravo, good sirs, excellent work.
00:13:01.000He's going after, he's speaking truth to power.
00:13:04.000He's getting people on the record that are revealing these powerful individuals are subverting our right to speech.
00:13:10.000Now, I'm not saying the First Amendment, that's a government-related thing, but if they're going to host political discourse and monopolize the commons, the space we need as people to engage in discourse, we got a serious problem here, man.
00:13:25.000Section CC is protection for the good Samaritan blocking and screening of offensive material So that's what it's under like right the good the good faith provision.
00:13:35.000That's what I checked it out So this goes beyond just yeah.
00:13:39.000It goes just this Referral from Matt gates is one of the first steps.
00:13:45.000I mean, I suppose the first step is having them testify Yeah This referral is extremely important, even if Zuckerberg says, oopsie, whoopsie, I didn't know.
00:13:55.000What happens now is they open the door for violations of Section 230, which means Facebook could be sued for literally anything posted on the site by anyone.
00:14:07.000So because of their biased actions, because we have moderators on the record saying we violate the good faith provisions of this, They straight up say, we'll remove someone for wearing a MAGA hat.
00:14:21.000They're not going to be able to successfully defend themselves against a lawsuit saying they were removing objectionable material when they tell the judge, he had a MAGA hat on.
00:14:30.000The judge is going to be like, how is that in any way objectionable?
00:14:48.000These companies have long been violating Section 230.
00:14:53.000And the problem is, I guess nobody is actually filing the suits.
00:14:57.000I don't know exactly how it would work.
00:15:00.000I would imagine, and correct me if I'm wrong if there's any lawyers in the chat, Somebody will say, you know, Adam Kregler called me a big stupid doo-doo head on Facebook.
00:15:12.000Facebook would then have to respond to the judge, Section 230 defends us from liability.
00:15:18.000I would then, you know, have to respond, actually, Facebook is in violation of the good faith provision because they choose and remove outside of the confines of the Good Samaritan removal.
00:15:30.000And the judge would have to be like, okay, or no, and then appeal.
00:15:34.000I don't know exactly how it would work.
00:15:35.000I'd imagine it would be something like that.
00:15:37.000I did talk to a lawyer friend of mine before about this and was told basically people need to start filing lawsuits that specifically drive through the heart of Section 230.
00:16:19.000Yeah, he was like, I'm appealing to, you know, the general idea is the people who don't engage in politics but have real concerns, they're not just speaking up all the time.
00:16:27.000Because of what these social media companies have done with bias and just basically nuking conservatives and, like, I gotta stop there, okay?
00:16:36.000People keep saying it's bias against conservatives.
00:16:44.000Now, because the conservatives are most likely to be the ones standing up and speaking out against the far left, they're the ones who are being nuked indiscriminately.
00:17:03.000In fact, there are some really anti-Trump people who have been banned for talking about, you know, talking bad of intersectionalism.
00:17:09.000And even anti-war progressives who have been nuked entirely, like YouTube, I'm sorry, Twitter, purged a ton of progressive anti-war activists.
00:18:08.000We legally got it and did it and put it up for them to Give in to the demands of these terrorists that are terrorizing our city shows how how wrong the government is.
00:18:53.000My point is, if a hundred people come out with sickle and hammers all over themselves, and they're yelling Marx over and over again and throw ropes over a statue and try and pull it down, and then the mayor comes in and goes, stop!
00:20:29.000I'm talking about the silent majority.
00:20:31.000So the reason why this all ties together is that we talked, you know, last week about this Cato Institute study that found 62% of Americans are afraid to speak about their political opinions.
00:20:41.000And the only... Okay, so you've got strong liberal, liberal, moderate, conservative, strong conservative.
00:20:48.000Guess which one was comfortable expressing themselves in public?
00:20:57.000It was the staunch liberal, and only by about 52% I think, like half, felt that they could speak their opinions in public without offending anybody.
00:21:07.000Now that's either extreme ignorance, like they're really dumb, just like, why would anyone be offended about me saying I'm going to repeal civil rights legislation?
00:21:20.000But they don't think it's offensive to say.
00:21:22.000The crazy thing, for the most part, is when I tell people about this, they don't believe it.
00:21:25.000They're like, I have a friend who goes out and marches for this stuff and then literally believes that because she wearing her frilly flower dress holds up a sign that we are calling her Antiva.
00:21:54.000But when I said to her, I was like, you have to understand why I'm not a fan of what you're doing.
00:21:59.000I understand protesting police brutality and all that stuff, but you're actively supporting people who are repealing civil rights law, and her response is like, prove it.
00:22:14.000Maybe you should not go out and hold up... You know what, man?
00:22:18.000It reminds me of that thing that happened at the Cernovich event in New York, where a bunch of Antifa were protesting Mike Cernovich speaking at Columbia.
00:22:27.000Somebody walked up to the front of the march and unfurled this big banner and said, please hold this.
00:22:54.000Somebody tricked these Antifa into flying that banner, and there's a video of them carrying it for I think like a minute or so, a couple minutes, until someone else noticed and ran up and snatched it and ripped it up and was like, what are you doing?
00:23:06.000And they were confused like, what do you mean?
00:23:36.000Actually, a friend of mine and I were talking about that, basically saying, like, how can you sit there being a YouTuber, calling out how younger generations, you know, want, like, it's bad that they want to be YouTubers.
00:23:49.000It's like, yeah, the difference is I didn't want to be a YouTuber.
00:23:55.000I set out to, I mean, I was a pro skater, you know, I was, you know, modeling, traveling around the world, doing that for a long time, trying to be a musician, you know, so I had other things.
00:24:05.000And then you called me and you were like, do you want to do the show?
00:24:07.000And I was like, all right, I'm not doing anything.
00:24:34.000They think there was this very famous YouTube young woman who, like, had a mental breakdown after getting like a million plus subs.
00:24:42.000Because what ends up happening is these people don't realize you're digging a hole and you get trapped in it where it's like, I think about bands that break up, right?
00:25:55.000I really, the critical thinking, I feel like I've learned an incredible amount of stuff over the past six months, you know, but my end game is not to just do this forever.
00:26:04.000You know, I would love to further my music career.
00:26:24.000Well, my general understanding is basically this dude was like, so this guy, right, you know, he walks up to the king and he goes, yo, king, you're so lucky being king and the king's like, you think so?
00:26:57.000And the king basically said, you're a big target with a sword hanging over your head that could snap at any moment.
00:27:03.000Everybody, you know, basically the gist is, When you're doing politics like this, you make enemies.
00:27:11.000So actually, to wrap it up back to what we're talking about with Facebook's bias.
00:27:15.000When Adam Krigler does a video where he's like, you know, you say you want to vote for Trump, then it goes up on Facebook and Facebook nukes it.
00:27:23.000Yeah, because they're like, we don't like this guy, we're gonna come after him.
00:27:25.000Well, it's funny you should bring up Trump also because he was told, all his friends were like, people are going to hate you.
00:28:10.000Now all of a sudden, the media was just tearing him to shreds every day.
00:28:15.000I think that's coming to an end, though, because people are becoming aware of who he actually is as far as outside the media realm, you know?
00:28:26.000Yes, but I think the bigger issue is when a group of people romp around your town, smashing everything and destroying your life, you start to ask questions about what's really going on.
00:28:35.000More importantly, When you notice that, you know, your friends and your family are suffering under the destruction of all these businesses, and the media won't talk about what's happening, you start to question, what are they talking about and why?
00:28:46.000More importantly, when you see far-left people in all black smash up the window of your favorite restaurant, and then Jerry Nadler comes out, waddles up to the microphone and goes, Antifa is a myth.
00:29:13.000Yeah, maybe there's context here, it's missing, but the general idea was that Antifa is a myth.
00:29:17.000And then when it was brought up to him by Fleca about the, Fleca is a YouTuber and personality, about the riots in Portland, he says, the rioting and stuff, that's all a myth, it's only talked about in D.C.
00:29:27.000Yeah, only spread, only spread in D.C.
00:29:31.000So crazy when you have people in Oregon literally super chatting us during the show being like, I can't stand this.
00:29:49.000And you know what the funny thing about it is?
00:29:50.000I posted a clip from some photos from Michael Tracy's reporting of the, there's restaurant, there's a market, it says, please don't hurt us.
00:29:59.000Please don't hurt us, we support Black Lives Matter.
00:30:14.000We need the police to solve the... Because the police are standing down in many instances and only dealing with the riots and the protests, crime has gone up apparently.
00:30:46.000You know what, I'm going to take this moment to just shout out Philip Anderson because he is standing in front of them, in front of this entire crowd that's trying to bring down the courthouse and yelling at them to stop.
00:32:02.000I see it I see it more and more now videos of people grouping up and There was I don't remember what town it was, but there was a small town in America where there was like a group of 10 Maybe 15.
00:32:13.000I don't want to say Antifa I don't want to say Black Lives Matter because I don't know who was who anymore, but they were just Completely swallowed up by this American flag waving crowd and I was just, yes!
00:32:52.000I think there's an obvious reason why.
00:32:54.000They need to make sure they stay silent to keep the perception that this country is far left.
00:32:59.000And it's really funny to me when I see these progressive pundits use excuses and manipulative polls to say things like, America really is a progressive country.
00:33:40.000They can also ask you questions to guarantee the answer they want.
00:33:44.000I don't have any examples off the top of my head, but it's basically just how they frame the question.
00:33:50.000Like I just showed you, then you say, of course I would not... Ask an answer that there's only one answer, but insert a little bit of information that they can twist.
00:34:23.000So we would ask them political questions and you could always tell who was funding it, even though it was usually like a PAC, like a super PAC or something.
00:34:29.000I don't know what Progress for America is or why they're buying this person's polling data, but I'm reading these questions and I can
00:34:36.000tell exactly what they want people to say.
00:36:35.000When George W. Bush was president, you had the famous 2004 RNC, where a bunch of far leftists got arrested for having Molotov cocktails and shields and bats and stuff.
00:36:44.000Then Obama gets elected and they don't do anything.
00:37:11.000Yeah, this is a separate report of mason jars surrounding the fence that didn't have rags in them, but I can only imagine it was something flammable.
00:37:45.000But what we're dealing with right now, let me just tell you.
00:37:48.000A man in Austin, wielding a rifle, walks up to a car, gets shot and killed.
00:37:53.000Some witnesses said he pointed it at the vehicle.
00:37:55.000After the guy shot him, the driver shoots the guy with the gun, someone else, one of these, I guess, rioters at this point, started shooting the dude's vehicle.
00:38:04.000He fled, the cops arrested these two guys.
00:38:07.000This man, Garrett, who had the rifle, died.
00:38:09.000So again, we have a photo of him holding the gun and witnesses said he pointed at the vehicle and then got shot.
00:38:37.000It honked a couple times like, you know, get out of the way.
00:38:40.000And you can see all of them were like...
00:38:43.000Finally we can like take like our anger at someone they all turned and just Converged on the car and anyone within like a 30-foot radius turned and like came to the car So like imagine, you know what that would feel like if you're in that car surrounded by people They're all yelling and you look out the window.
00:39:01.000And what do you see someone brandishing an ak-47?
00:39:03.000It is an AK That's what yeah, that's what it was.
00:39:06.000So I'm just giving a little context to what happened previous before, you know, the actual incident.
00:39:40.000If this guy really did point that rifle, and he may have, we have video of him actually having his hand on the grip, If he succeeded in causing harm or threatening someone's life, this would have been taken down in two seconds.
00:39:51.000Only because his life was taken, I suppose.
00:41:37.000How is it that if you are a regular person on your property, And a mob of people enter your private property and you legally say, get off my property.
00:41:52.000And how is it if you're this guy in Austin with an AK and you walk in someone's car, they say, you're a martyr.
00:41:58.000I'm now going to show you some Facebook posts from someone I normally don't like to highlight, but it needs to be done because this guy's got millions of followers.
00:42:05.000And as much as many people really, really hate him, especially progressives, they really don't like him.
00:45:29.000Louis, and the armed people you see here are Mark and Patricia McCloskey, attorneys who did this when protesters walked past their house on their way to protest the mayor.
00:45:36.000Protesters weren't even there for them.
00:46:38.000He's just another storytelling media personality.
00:46:42.000That's all they are, all these storytellers.
00:46:45.000You know, we gotta come up with a name.
00:46:47.000Not Grifter, because that can be applied to anyone, but there's gotta be a name for reporters, you know, these personalities that report news that is Fake.
00:47:30.000So I'll give you an example of how, you know, you can criticize me for not being good at
00:47:34.000what I do for sure if you think I'm bad.
00:47:36.000I did a segment about a former Democrat who was charged with voter fraud.
00:47:41.000In that segment, as soon as I wrapped up the news on Democrat voter fraud, I highlighted
00:47:45.000a story about a Republican who was also charged with voter fraud.
00:47:48.000To make sure, I'm not trying to make it seem like only Democrats do, there's a Republican who was charged as well.
00:47:53.000However, the stories were very, very different.
00:47:56.000The Democrat was actually ballot stuffing, the Republican voted with a bad address.
00:48:01.000So, but I did look up voter fraud, and I made sure, I was like, I saw this story about the Democrat, I'm like, I'm not just gonna do the Democrat, I gotta make sure, I'll do some searching.
00:48:09.000Sure enough, a week ago, Republican as well.
00:49:24.000You could see that the paint is still wet.
00:49:26.000And they were like, they were trying to talk about it.
00:49:29.000But it's like, if you think about it, a Molotov cocktail, I don't know what they were using as the flammable liquid that was in there, but most alcoholic things will thin paint.
00:49:39.000So it makes sense that it was a little wet.
00:49:40.000I mean, I imagine there would just be gas.
00:50:12.000That's what it felt like, you see how he was just like, get in the car, get in the car, stop talking.
00:50:17.000If you guys aren't familiar with Fleckas Talks, F-L-E-C-C-A-S, Fleckas, he does a great job because he's very polite to everybody.
00:50:25.000I love watching his videos, he'll walk up to like some regular, he'll wear like a, what is it, what is it like, these highlighter vests or whatever, what are they called?
00:51:17.000I hear stories about Democrats all the time, and I go, no way.
00:51:20.000Like, there was that viral tweet from AOC, where she was claiming, people were claiming she tweeted, we should keep our businesses shut down longer.
00:51:28.000When I heard that, I said, no way, dude.
00:51:51.000Speaking of AOC and young people who don't understand responsibility and accountability, we gotta talk about a couple of these protest videos that are going around.
00:52:03.000And I have some strong words for some of these people who have been arrested, but it must be said, and I already know people are going to start clipping the segment being like, you know, Tim and Adam are so mean, and you know, whatever, fascists.
00:53:10.000This is what snowplow parenting creates.
00:53:12.000People who have never been taught responsibility and accountability.
00:53:15.000After cussing at the cops who tell her to get back, she gets arrested, then starts shrieking like a toddler who was just told they couldn't have another scoop of ice cream.
00:53:32.000You ever sit on a plane and you've got a toddler or a kid screaming and like kicking the seat?
00:53:36.000And now you're like, alright, now this is different, okay?
00:53:39.000I can be annoyed by the baby screaming, but if you won't tell your kid to stop, okay, we've got a problem now, because you can tell that kid to knock it off.
00:53:49.000Snowplow parents, the parents who want to be cool, let these kids, for their entire lives, do whatever they want.
00:53:56.000And those kids grow up and this woman, you know what I wanted to tweet when I saw this?
00:54:01.000I was like, I saw this woman screeching and I was like, you know, when the far left starts talking about white female privilege and all this stuff, white feminism, I watched this video and I'm kind of starting to understand what they're talking about.
00:56:12.000In this video, this is, man, from Drew Hernandez at Lives Matter Show, breaking, arsonists and rioters are being arrested by federal police and are unsure why.
00:57:06.000It was like, it's a guy wearing a sickle and hammer bandana, and he says, the government won't let me burn down buildings and beat random people.
00:57:14.000Our country is truly a fascist country.
00:57:18.000These people, like I'm saying, man, who have been raised by these snowplow parents, always give whatever they want, genuinely don't understand why they're being arrested while partaking in a riot.
00:57:29.000Like, why are the police arresting me?
00:57:52.000And actually, there's another video I just saw from last night of the same kind of thing happening of a white progressive woman kicking officers trying to resist arrest.
00:58:11.000Look, look, I see a lot of these tweets where it's like, you know, the CEO of Reddit tweeted about this.
00:58:16.000He's like, I once got pulled over and I was, you know, he said he was like drinking and stuff and the cop was like, you're lucky the key's not in the ignition, let him go.
00:58:22.000They talk about their white privilege.
00:58:24.000There was this one woman who talked about how she came from like an affluent suburb and how she actually was like drinking and driving and they like let her go or whatever.
00:59:14.000No, but they're used to getting away with everything.
00:59:16.000Well, before we continue on, I want to just talk about those optics.
00:59:20.000I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday about exactly that.
00:59:24.000It's like, the media is where everyone gets, is who propels things into the internet verse, you know?
00:59:32.000So when we hear a story of a white girl that got let off, even though she was drinking, driving, talking about it, whatever, and then we hear a story of, you know, a black man that got, you know, persecuted because the same exact He's out jogging or something, but it's like that's what we're
00:59:48.000given like we don't know every every single Interaction we're right. We are given these things and as
00:59:55.000Sean King proves this as in our last segment Emotions work. Oh, it's cash money
01:00:01.000Triggering people's anger, their emotions, is what gets the clicks.
01:01:44.000I was homeschooled when I was younger.
01:01:46.000So before I even started school, like when I was like two or three, even younger probably, I was being taught stuff whether I could actually do it or not.
01:01:53.000But when I was like seven, my mom would be like, when the lights turn back on, you gotta be home.
01:02:25.000It was so much fun when I was a kid, and I would try and go further than I've ever gone, and I would always get scared because on the south side of Chicago, where I grew up, it's a southwest area, southwest side, there's big, like every mile you have big, busy roads, so like Central and Cicero, and it was always scary to be a kid and reach that point, and I would get scared, and I'd ride back as fast as I could.
01:02:48.000I'd be like eight or nine, I'd be like, oh I gotta go home, I'm too far, I'm too far.
01:02:51.000I remember when I was real little, I would tell my mom I was going to go hang out at one of my friends' houses, and he lived maybe like six blocks away.
01:03:01.000And when I'd get there, I'd start getting scared because I was too far and too close to Cicero, and then after like 20 minutes, I'd be like, I need to go home.
01:03:37.000Gotta hold their hand, put them on a leash, don't let them do anything, but give them whatever they want when they ask for it.
01:03:42.000And now here they are, shrieking, not understanding why it is that when you attack a federal officer with a Molotov cocktail, you get arrested!
01:04:02.000There's this one meme I was actually just trying to find.
01:04:04.000I couldn't find it, but it was written from the perspective of a woman saying, like, I can't find, like a, you know, you have to pick a certain number out of five, and it's like qualities in a guy.
01:04:16.000And it's just like honest You know got a job
01:04:21.000Whatever there's a few of them, you know, but it's like that these people don't exist anymore on tinder and I was
01:04:27.000just like Because they never went on tinder, you know, it's like and
01:04:31.000that's kind of like a This was going back from the conversation about who they're
01:05:07.000They say, I'm saying it's true, but when you actually say like, if you're really trying to meet someone who's going to be a good friend and a good partner and have a relationship, you don't go to a bar and you don't go on Tinder.
01:05:18.000You go to a laundromat and there's a regular person just like you doing their laundry.
01:05:42.000Well, and actually I was having another conversation with another friend of mine who was talking about how he's on Tinder, he's in his late 30s, kind of fed up with it because every single woman on there is single with one or two kids.
01:06:05.000Well, I mean, but if you think about it, that became such a norm, like being single, a single mother with kids, like that was the average, you know?
01:06:14.000So now, what is a mother versus what a father is?
01:06:18.000Like the mother is nurturing and will always try to Snowplow if you will, you know in in not in all cases obviously, but then what would the father do?
01:06:27.000It's like get up brush off the dust and keep moving forward, you know And it's like when we live in this world where it's it's an the norm where women are now single with their kids Cherishing their kids making sure their kids are taken care of because the man left them, you know I'm generalizing obviously, but it's like this is what we get it's these And it's not just women, it's the kids of that generation that have been raised without having two figures.
01:06:55.000And it's not just, you know, a male figure and a female figure.
01:06:58.000It's the two parents that, you know, will give a counter to any situation.
01:07:03.000Like, whoa, whoa, no, they have to go to bed now.
01:07:23.000And so we are seeing a lot of single parenthood, mostly single motherhood, a lot because of hookup culture.
01:07:30.000Hookup culture, I mean, then you've got to think about the welfare state from the 60s and how that's affected a lot of minority communities.
01:07:37.000Because the government incentivized people to be single and you'd get more money from the government the more kids you had also.
01:08:22.000Well, that brings up another side of it, too.
01:08:26.000What does having a strong family give you?
01:08:30.000It's confirmation that you are validated in life.
01:08:36.000If you know your family loves you, and you get it from everyone in your family, a strong male figure, a strong female figure, your aunts and uncles, your grandma, and they all are like, we love you, you're awesome.
01:08:48.000If you don't get that, You know, then you kind of get raised seeking it elsewhere.
01:08:54.000So if you seek it elsewhere, then you lack confidence.
01:08:58.000And then that's what I see with a lot of these people.
01:10:47.000What they didn't tell you is the full context of what happened.
01:10:50.000It really just gave you a one-sided framing because the New York Times has been totally co-opted by these lunatic insurrectionist lefties.
01:10:56.000But I bring you now to an excellent piece of reporting by Michael Tracy.
01:11:01.000He referred to this as a media scandal of epic proportions.
01:11:05.000And it's really remarkable how little Technically.
01:11:09.000Michael Tracy had to do to pull off one of these very, very, you know, one of the best pieces of journalism we've gotten probably all year in my opinion.
01:12:21.000Or think about if you're actually getting arrested, you start saying that, no, no, don't arrest me, I support, they're gonna be like, what?
01:12:27.000Even if you said I support Blue Lives Matter, they'd still arrest you.
01:12:29.000Right, if you did a crime, you're gonna get arrested for it.
01:12:31.000Bevelyn Beatty, in New York, she's protesting for the police, and the police still arrested her.
01:12:38.000And they... Well, she wasn't... Actually, she wasn't... She was actually going against Black Lives Matter specifically.
01:14:32.000He mentions that another Lao American community center was boarded up with yellow tape.
01:14:37.000But I want to highlight what he says about the journalist specifically.
01:14:40.000He's got a ton of really amazing photos.
01:14:42.000You guys really should check this guy out.
01:14:43.000Follow him at mtracy on Twitter because I'm truly impressed by this.
01:14:49.000He mentions how all he did was go to these places and talk to them.
01:14:52.000Why isn't the national press talking about this?
01:14:55.000Look, here's what he writes, this is amazing stuff.
01:14:57.000I'm not a rocket scientist, and it doesn't take some kind of profound journalistic acuity to walk around riot-affected areas, talk to citizens, record their stories and impressions, take some photos and record some video, compose some tweets, and yet, I heard from hundreds of people across the U.S.
01:15:12.000and the world who were shocked that they had never been aware of what happened in Minneapolis and St.
01:15:17.000Paul, if not for my dinky little Twitter thread.
01:15:20.000When I visited a month after the peak of the riots, much of this major American metropolis still lied in ruins.
01:15:26.000Not that normal life hadn't mostly resumed, it had.
01:15:29.000But it resumed in the way that war-torn areas configure some ad hoc routine that enables the resumption of semi-normal activity amidst the rubble and despair.
01:15:37.000In speaking with locals, many of whom had lost their livelihoods and or had to plead for their children not to be burned alive, it often seems like the extent of the ruination they've experienced was barely ever appreciated in the first place.
01:15:51.000There are several potential explanations for why.
01:15:53.000I want to read these, but I do want to point out...
01:15:55.000He does tweet that you typically don't get stories like this from low IQ right-wingers either.
01:16:01.000I think the real issue that we're facing is most of real journalism of like reporting is dominated by the left.
01:16:08.000Conservatives tend to do commentary on the reporting, responding to it, instead of setting the narrative themselves.
01:16:15.000This is not, I don't think it has anything to do with low IQ right-wingers.
01:16:19.000I think it has to do with the fact that the right is more, here's the story, here's how we feel about it, instead of Hey, that story is more important.
01:16:27.000I want you to tell me how you feel about it.
01:16:29.000So you end up with left-dominated narratives.
01:16:31.000But I want to point something else out as well.
01:16:39.000He says, while the most extreme riots in cities like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and particularly Minneapolis did receive considerable attention, however fleeting, incomplete, and unnecessarily inflected with knee-jerk partisanship, there were also smaller-scale riots in surprisingly far-flung places that you hardly would have known about unless you lived in the area, happened to visit, or intentionally sought out what remains of the Bare Bones local media coverage.
01:17:06.000To take just a small sampling, Atlantic City, New Jersey, Fort Wayne, Indiana, Green Bay, Wisconsin, and Olympia, Washington, all underwent significant riots, at least per the normal expectations of life in these relatively low-key cities.
01:18:13.000Michael Tracy says, the media and its characteristic insularity in myopia has instead chosen to pathologically fixate on a constant stream of culture war inanities that stem loosely from this ongoing movement.
01:18:25.000Such as the propriety of various statues and monuments, whether various food brands and sports teams are racist, and whether various micro-celebrities need to be cancelled for some imagined transgression.
01:18:36.000You wanna know why I'm so impressed by this reporting?
01:18:47.000Now, I try to break through what they report and figure out what they got right and got wrong.
01:18:51.000But where are the people to actually go onto the ground and travel around these small cities?
01:18:55.000I tell you, I am inspired by the simplicity, and that's gonna be one of my goals as we move to expand, to make sure that I can empower people to literally do this.
01:19:04.000I'm not gonna chase after the silly mainstream narrative.
01:19:07.000I'm literally planning on this in the next month or so.
01:19:10.000Hire some people and say, pick a city, go there, talk to people.
01:19:28.000He says, they are also beset by various hyper-moralizing staff revolts within their own elite institutions, leading them to adopt an inordinately inward editorial disposition on account of their own neurotic personal issues.
01:19:40.000That is an amazing sentence, by the way.
01:19:44.000Under these narcissistic conditions, real-world human suffering becomes less of a pressing concern.
01:19:50.000It is not just these journalists, it's the activists in general.
01:19:54.000I can't tell you how many people I know where I said, please, please talk about this man in Minneapolis who had his dream business burnt to the ground.
01:20:03.000And they say, no, you're just trying to make the activists look bad.
01:20:05.000I don't care about a revolution or a movement.
01:20:07.000I care about the people whose lives you're destroying.
01:20:10.000The people whose lives have been lost.
01:20:26.000And that's why that graph, I don't remember where the study is from about Black Lives Matter, the approval rating of it is just dropping and dropping because people are upset.
01:20:38.000They're seeing these Antifa break windows and, you know, destroy people's lives.
01:21:28.000The next thing he says is, journalists, editors, and pundits believe, either consciously or subconsciously, probably some half-scandalous combination of the two, that highlighting the harmful after-effects of these historic nationwide riots would somehow redound to the political benefit of Trump.
01:21:42.000Which to them would be the most disastrous outcome of all.
01:22:05.000I was at VidCon several years ago, I believe this may have been either 2016 or 2017, where the president of a very large digital news organization said straight up on stage, we work with anti-Trump activists at the highest level to help produce content.
01:23:01.000The shell of what was once an auto repair shop operated by an Ethiopian immigrant still sits burned out and destroyed, leaving the man out of work potentially for months, he said.
01:23:12.000The man, who like many others did not want to conduct a formal interview, remarked that he now has nothing to do all day.
01:23:19.000His tools and equipment were also destroyed.
01:23:56.000Like we talked about with the story of the McCloskeys and Garrett, they only care about power for themselves.
01:24:02.000Regular people will suffer, and so be it.
01:24:05.000They call a guy in a car a Nazi for protecting himself from a man with a rifle.
01:24:09.000They call the McCloskeys criminals who should be arrested for defending their property from an angry mob that has already been associated with this kind of destruction.
01:24:17.000And what do we get from democratic leadership?
01:24:21.000I can't imagine what these people must be thinking to see the images of the Democratic governors and mayors marching with these crowds and then telling them, your business must remain closed because of COVID.
01:27:02.000The more I learn about this man, the more I respect him, the more I think he's doing a great job for our country.
01:27:09.000I have a lot of friends of mine, I have family members of mine that have been like, I watch your show, and I can't believe that I'm actually going to vote for Donald Trump this year.
01:28:59.000The point is, you think you're gonna get a perfect vision of what's supposed to come and help you out of this crisis.
01:29:05.000And I cannot believe that it's come to the point where two years ago I was laughing like, I'm never gonna vote for Donald Trump.
01:29:12.000Now it's so bad with the riots, and I kid you not, they arrested two small business owners only a few miles from my house because they wanted to do a small limited membership only gym opening.
01:29:39.000For all of the faults that Trump has had that made me angry and upset or laugh and like, I'm not, you know, now at this point where I'm like, what am I supposed to do, vote for Biden?
01:29:48.000So I'm disappointed that I'm like, I normally wouldn't care to vote for Trump or especially not Biden, especially not Hillary.
01:29:58.000I just could never expect that the highest office of our country would be to a reality TV real estate mogul comedian who at least loves the country.
01:30:15.000And the reason I told that joke about, you know, expecting this perfect solution to save your problems, is that maybe right now the only thing we have is Trump.
01:30:23.000So for all of the things that he's had or done where I'm like, I roll my eyes and I'm like, I would prefer someone better.
01:30:55.000I see a lot of things where I think he's, like, the easiest thing is character issues.
01:30:58.000But for the most part, he's absolutely done a better job on a lot of issues in the past couple of years.
01:31:03.000But now we're at a point where... Once he's able to finally start doing his job because he hasn't been hampered down by a certain group of people trying to bring him down.
01:37:31.000So while he was doing all that, no, while he was doing all that, who was the one that was helping him, whispering in his ear, like, this is what we need to do.
01:37:46.000I want Trump to be so angry with John Bolton, he ends all this war just to spite him, because Bolton writes that book and starts ragging on him.
01:38:35.000You can't be mad at Trump for firing the missiles when I agree with you, and then all of a sudden you're mad at Trump when he's pulling them out, because now I disagree with you.
01:40:17.000On that note, you have something that you are able to give to people.
01:40:22.000You know, when you have a child who's like, I want to be a YouTuber.
01:40:27.000And if that is their goal, then, you know, I mean, and this is the general consensus of, there was a poll about asking kids what they want to do when they grow up, and it was a YouTuber, be an influencing YouTuber, Canada, same exact, same answer, you know, and they asked Chinese kids, you know what they wanted to be?
01:40:43.000I know the answer, do you want to say it?
01:40:46.000So, there's nothing wrong with wanting to be a YouTuber if you have something to say, like what you just said.
01:40:52.000If you have a voice, and you have a solid backing of what you want to give to people, and people want to listen to it, by all means, be a YouTuber.
01:41:03.000I didn't start out wanting to be a YouTuber, and I have a lot of experience doing many different things in my life, so it helps me be a YouTuber like I am now.
01:41:15.000It's not that there's anything wrong with it, but the fact that our kids, that is the sole thing that they want to do.
01:41:20.000You can't ignore that that is a problem.
01:41:24.000We can't have everybody just wanting to be YouTubers, trying to influence each other to be YouTubers.
01:41:30.000It'll be a cycle of everyone just ends up being YouTubers and then the doctors, the scientists.
01:41:36.000We used to glorify scientists and doctors and astronauts.
01:42:06.000So we're going to read some more, but make sure you follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Parler at TimCast.
01:42:10.000You can follow at AdamKrigler on the same platforms, Instagram, Twitter, and Parler.
01:42:14.000And you can also follow at SourPatchLids, L-Y-D-S, on Twitter and Parler, too.
01:42:20.000And let's read this year's Super Chat from Ian Hawley, says to General T. Poole, Salty Army, First Division HQ, please use this money to facilitate the move of your overlord, the cat.
01:43:29.000Joseph Kasky says, this is the evergreening of America, and I have been regularly telling everyone around me the history of these current events.
01:43:44.000There could have been a slightly left-er-leaning populist who was willing to work with conservatives, appear on their shows, argue with them, and actually come to a compromise.
01:43:55.000Instead, it was far left or nothing, or corporate Biden.
01:45:24.000Feminism and equal rights did affect the market and income.
01:45:27.000Almost overnight, labor supply doubled while demand stayed the same.
01:45:31.000This is the start of a shift from one provider family to both parents working without time for the kids.
01:45:37.000That's a good point that we didn't even talk about earlier when we were talking about what could be the cause of this snowflake generation.
01:45:45.000What we talked about was the economic shift where all of a sudden the middle class stagnated but the 1% grew.
01:45:52.000We didn't get into great detail about it but one of the things I have talked about in the past is that When equality came about, all of a sudden the labor supply doubled overnight.
01:46:02.000But not just that, it was a bunch of Republicans who were pro-immigration.
01:46:07.000That's why Bernie Sanders said it was right-wing.
01:46:09.000And so all of a sudden the labor supply was being rapidly flooded, and it was easy to suppress wages.
01:46:14.000So yes, I think we've been exploited by massive multinational corporations for a variety of reasons to drive wages down for cheaper labor to extract resources for themselves.
01:46:23.000You know who's trying to make a change?
01:46:27.000A bunch of the demands of progressives were enacted under Trump.
01:46:36.000A bunch of businesses started bringing in parental leave because the economy was so good.
01:46:50.000They want the government to mandate these things.
01:46:52.000And it was really funny when I read the news and I was like, by ignoring it and just having a prosperous economy, these things naturally emerged.
01:47:10.000Grant Fullweiler says, my girlfriend keeps getting jealous because the only thing I smash is the like button.
01:47:14.000You can't just do the like button, come on.
01:47:17.000That might be something you need to fix.
01:47:22.000Let's see, King Canuck says, a humble ask.
01:47:24.000You've recently taken to posting snips of articles and headlines by comparison with captions like, see I told you, and it's not always obvious where your sources are and what you mean.
01:47:56.000Yeah, I think I've done that before, too.
01:47:58.000Mostly it's just to contrast the headlines.
01:47:59.000But the other thing, too, is you can Google search the headline, the story pops right up.
01:48:04.000Justin Fore says Canadian PM and government in trouble over awarding contract to the WE Foundation, which has six-figure connections to family members of prominent government figures, including Trudeau himself.
01:48:14.000But that's like saying government does government stuff.
01:48:18.000Cornelis Jantz de Jager says, I don't understand why Dems blame Trump for 150k deaths, but 100,744 died in Dem-led states since 27th of July, and 45,802 in Republican states.
01:48:31.000You can download the full dataset from the bottom table.
01:48:42.000They act like Trump is an authoritarian for sending federal law enforcement around the country, and he's a failure for not mandating the states follow his decree.
01:53:01.000I go to bed like an hour after we finish the show, have like some water and just chill for a minute, go to bed, wake up, right back to work.
01:53:08.000There's like a brief period between 4 and 6 p.m.
01:53:11.000where it's like I can skate or eat food or something.
01:54:31.000It could be something different, I don't know.
