05:02

05:07
spike the first jewish MVP of the
05:09
muddied waters media Cohen I am Matt
05:12
Wright and together we are traversing
05:14
the muddy waters afraid ya know it’s
05:17
[Laughter]
05:20
literally literally literally spike Owen
05:25
is with me hey everybody how are you
05:27
doing how are you today I’m doing I’m
05:33
doing I’m doing well yeah glitter I’m
05:37
doing I’ve got uh I’m actually I’m
05:41
reeling from your from your little your
05:43
little gastronomic venture that you that
05:47
you posted with your very jealous it was
05:51
I’m not gonna lie like that
05:52
I was actually I did not know how that
05:54
was going to turn out and I in King Shan
05:57
sweet Shane Sweeney is hashtag team
06:00
tilapia screaming yeah he’s wrong he’s
06:07
just rolling he’s shy he’s shamed the
06:09
Vietnamese much but I long everyone has
06:14
to be wrong on something Shan Shan is
06:19
wrong about his obsession with
06:21
Vietnamese poop fish otherwise known as
06:23
tilapia I was wrong in thinking that I
06:27
could trust Shan when it comes to
06:29
something related to food that’s my
06:32
shortcoming
06:33
so what am I making I’m making an amends
06:36
for that and in this moment what what I
06:39
also learned today and it’s it’s very
06:43
upsetting it’s almost precluded South
06:45
Carolina from being a state that I could
06:47
ever possibly live in what happen you
06:51
don’t have sheets and or wah-wah
06:53
no no and and and and Matt we because I
06:59
insulted shame by saying do you take
07:02
dates to WA for anniversaries and he had
07:04
no idea with mm he didn’t know what it
07:06
meant so okay well maybe they have
07:07
sheets I was like wait do you have
07:08
sheets and he said no and I was like
07:10
well I can’t even
07:12
you can cross the border like five
07:14
minutes into North Carolina
07:16
I don’t know about Georgia but like five
07:18
minutes into North Carolina and there’s
07:19
a sheets going into Charlotte there’s a
07:22
sheets and then where I am going into
07:24
shallowed or whatever it is there’s a
07:26
sheets so I mean they’re nearby but for
07:28
whatever reason there are apparently no
07:30
sheets or wawas what was a more North
07:33
thing I think that’s kind of like north
07:35
virginia and north of Virginia but
07:37
sheets we’ve got them just just north of
07:39
us but so so Wawa I believe started in
07:43
Pennsylvania and so she’s actually I
07:45
think probably yeah
07:47
I know they’re huge in both those states
07:48
when I Drive to cook Toronto and when I
07:51
Drive back nine times that well yeah
07:54
close to nine times out of ten we’re
07:55
either stopping at a sheets a Wawa or
07:58
what’s the other big one um
08:00
further south Oh further south is Kwik
08:03
Trip which is a poor man sheets to be
08:07
honest okay tbh it’s a it’s a poor man’s
08:12
tbh it’s a it’s a poor man sheets
08:14
um but yeah um yeah like so where when I
08:19
where I grew up sheets was we didn’t
08:21
have wildlife at the time we only had
08:22
sheets and sheets was my 2:00 a.m. I’m
08:24
hammered see the problem is we have
08:29
Waffle House which just floods out
08:31
everything yeah and that’s what happens
08:33
when you can sell a steak and eggs for
08:35
like five dollars it’s hard to like it
08:38
just drowns out everything else yeah and
08:42
then when I came down here then we had
08:43
Wawa everywhere and there’s more of them
08:46
opening every day and God like if a
08:51
sheets came down here I’d be
08:53
hard-pressed to be like nah I’m still a
08:54
sheets guy because I have now fully
08:57
injected while right into the
08:59
bloodstream like I’m like mainlining it
09:01
at this point but I wouldn’t take a date
09:03
there it sounds kind of it sounds kind
09:06
of dangerous
09:07
my first two main line a business which
09:11
I my first exposure to was during the
09:14
2012 presidential campaign Romney showed
09:19
up at a Wawa to talk about American
09:21
innovation and acted just you know he
09:23
was like oh and you know like that yet
09:25
you know the
09:25
you could press the you know on the on
09:28
the LED LCD screen what you wanted and
09:31
he was acting and everyone’s like isn’t
09:33
that crazy that Mitt Romney’s act that
09:35
way and I’m like yeah that’s I wanted to
09:39
that like I was like that sounds
09:40
incredible
09:42
I share Mitt Romney’s joy and and and
09:47
shock and amazement at that
09:49
Liz Perez in the house says cutie I you
09:53
know I’m not against QuikTrip Liz um
09:56
especially like if you’re in the pizza
09:58

10:00
serve pizzas and my wife is in love with
10:01
um this is this is my screen for Wawa
10:05
it’s right here this is your home screen
10:09
is Wawa
10:10
no no like this is how I order all of my
10:13
Wawa I order it while I’m at my house
10:14
and then I Drive there I don’t even take
10:16
time touching there that’s actually
10:19
smart though it’s a hygienic way of

not the cheerful show that here’s the
12:36
opposite of the happiness that comes
12:39
from a limerick from one of us the polar
12:42
opposite our polar opposite is the the
12:51
so some terrible things have happened if
12:56
you haven’t been awake for the last four
12:59
or five days we have some bad news for
13:02
you some really actually some really
13:03
terrible things that happened in some
13:07
shootings that happen across the country
13:08
the first one was in Gilroy California
13:10
that was actually last week right that
13:12
was that was this predated the other
13:13
ones by quite a quite a bit right I mean
13:16
by like a day Oh was it she I thought it
13:18
was like nobody would before it maiden –
13:21
no it was like two or three they were
13:23
all really close together they were all
13:25
pretty close and the debates Oh even the
13:29
Gilroy one was after the debate I think
13:31
the I think the gala where everyone was
13:33
Thursday okay I think right so I was
13:40
yeah yeah and then like less than like
13:44
12 hours later was the Dayton one so
13:46
there was a shootings in Gilroy
13:48
California El Paso Texas and Dayton Ohio
13:52
31
13:53
people murdered and in the total and the
13:55
three shootings dozens of others have
13:58
been hurt it has been absolutely
14:00
devastating I mean it’s obviously any
14:03
any death or any murder is devastating
14:05
but when you think these were three
14:07
relatively pedestrian places for people
14:10
to be one was a a festival called the
14:14
Garlic Festival that they hold every
14:15
year in Gilroy which is a smallish town
14:17
in in California and then there was a
14:21
shooting in a Walmart we’ve all go to
14:23
Walmart or some other grocery
14:24
supermarket in El Paso Texas and then
14:28
the third one was at a nightclub
14:30
district or or I guess a nightlife
14:32
district yeah targeted towards a
14:35
specific bar and grill in Dayton Ohio so
14:38
these weren’t you know 9/11 was attacks
14:40
on the Pentagon and the World Trade
14:43
Center places that most of us would
14:44
never end up going much less you know be
14:47
a part of everyday these were kind of
14:48
small-town attacks that you know they
14:51
Rock people because besides just the
14:53
loss of life and the fear and everything
14:54
you think I could go to a Walmart or
14:58
some store or you know grab a sandwich
15:00
at a you know grab a drink at at a bar
15:02
or go to some local festival and
15:05
something like this could happen so it
15:06
it really shook everyone um and to add
15:11
obviously horror on top of horror the
15:16
well I guess let’s talk about the the
15:19
motivations behind the shooters the
15:22
shooter in Gilroy and the shooter in El
15:25
Paso were similar they both the one in
15:29
El Paso was a lot more explicit but the
15:30
one in Gilroy seemed to kind of be in
15:32
the same the same political bandwagon
15:36
where they seem to be kind of white
15:38
nationalist the one in El Paso
15:40
definitely was he does not call himself
15:42
a trump supporter but only because he
15:44
thinks Trump doesn’t go far enough and
15:46
he he’s kind of a down the line white
15:49
nationalist it’s very interesting
15:50
because white nationalists typically are
15:54
also socialist they’re just socialists
15:57
just for white people and so he
16:00
supported universal basic income which
16:02
is something that you know Andrew yang
16:05
and Marianne Williamson support
16:07
but he supports it just for white people
16:09
he supports nationalized health care
16:13
which is something that almost every
16:14
Democrat now supports in some form or
16:16
another but just for white people and
16:19
and so they did these shootings the
16:22
third shooter in Dayton was a is
16:27
actually a Elizabeth Warren and Bernie
16:29
Sanders supporter he’s a Democratic
16:31
Socialist down the line supporter he
16:34
wants socialism to happen sooner than
16:36
later and you actually knew something
16:38
about the correct me if I’m wrong but
16:41
there was something to do with that
16:42
where he targeted right debar there was
16:46
something to do with the bar there was
16:49
something to do it was either with the
16:50
bar that he targeted or it had something
16:52
to do with the district that he targeted
16:55
but it was something about how it was
16:57
like it was favored by like kind of
16:59
rural rednecky types and kind of a kind
17:02
of like where a lot of conservatives
17:03
would be or something like that and I
17:05
was and I wasn’t clear on whether or not
17:07
that was the area that it was that it
17:11
took place or if that was the bar where
17:12
it happened
17:13
yeah but it was that it was it was the
17:19
area of Dayton Ohio where you would see
17:22
many of Trump supporters yeah it’s like
17:27
yeah okay so Ned peppers is kind of like
17:30
a I guess sort of like a cowboy themed
17:34
restaurant and so you’d have a lot of I
17:36
guess stereotypical you know redneck
17:39
types or you know southern types that
17:41
would go to something like that
17:46
no go ahead the guy from California the
17:49
guy from Texas looks so much alike it’s
17:51
creepy which is true but what makes it
17:54
creepier is that all three of them look
17:56
so much alike
17:58
let me see if I can grab that photo of
18:00
of the shooters because yeah they look
18:04
like the same person
18:05
they could be did anybody see that a not
18:10
that they can really answer me but the
18:12
three three identical strangers was the
18:14
name of the documentary it was about
18:16
three twins that have been separated at
18:18
Birth three triplets that had been
18:20
separate
18:20
at birth and they all ended up finding
18:23
each other it was a real story happened
18:26
back in the eighties and it was just
18:30
crazy but they look like they could be a
18:34
family that was separated yeah it’s
18:37
really weird it’s really it’s it’s
18:39
really creepy and they also um am I
18:45
looking for the I think not here let me
18:51
let me pull it up we just yeah so this
18:55
is them where is it I just downloaded it
19:01
it’s it’s just really like I know I’m
19:02
taking time to do this but it’s really
19:04
really creepy how similar they all look
19:08
this is them and like that’s creepy as
19:11
hell um especially the first two they
19:14
were even wearing like the same glasses
19:16
but like I saw of the Dayton shooter he
19:19
was wearing the same type of glasses
19:22
okay yeah I mean you’ve got three
19:27
relatively generic looking kind of
19:31
unremarkable white guys that are all
19:36
roughly in the same age but then five
19:38
years of each other just really really
19:42
really creepy and two had roughly the
19:47
same motivation and the third one had
19:49
different motivation but although
19:51
ultimately they all had the same
19:53
motivation they wanted government to be
19:56
harming other people to their benefit
19:58
and they got sick of waiting and decided
20:02
to take matters into their own hands
20:04
which is I mean it’s a horrific thing
20:08
and it’s it’s it’s what happens when a
20:09
lot of these people become political
20:12
radicals as they do these kind of
20:13
attacks on people it’s really sad it is
20:18
it is really sad and everybody’s always
20:22
looking for the answer on you know well
20:26
what race is the person or what the
20:29
political affiliation is the person or
20:31
what religion is the person or
20:34
whatever and none of that matters no it
20:40
doesn’t matter
20:41
um Fotini henderson asks if i donated
20:43
for a limerick will you brown paper wrap
20:45
it sure yes um our friend bass over at
20:51
YouTube says they look like they could
20:52
all be muddied waters hosts and okay
21:04
yeah I’m I think we look better than I
21:12
know we do I mean we definitely I mean
21:16
just the cheekbones like what I mean
21:18
we have no we’ve got much better
21:21
we have classically chiseled feature I
21:24
have their glasses yes and he does
21:27
usually as well yes but behind those
21:30
glasses is something pretty spectacular
21:35
he’s got laughter in his eyes I’ve got
21:39
the joy of the whole world in this hand
21:42
so we got some great stuff that happened
21:46
as a result of this because it wasn’t
21:47
bad enough that a bunch of people were
21:48
killed by maniacs as per usual we’re
21:53
used to hearing from the Democratic side
21:55
of the field whenever any kind of
21:56
tragedy like this happens that this is a
21:58
reason to take everyone’s guns we’re
22:01
gonna take the guns we got to take the
22:03
big especially the big black scary long
22:05
guns that are scary-looking we got to
22:07
get rid of those and even though the
22:09
vast majority of shootings are from just
22:12
regular handguns that are not I mean
22:16
that are not you know scary assault
22:19
weapons which are basically medium game
22:21
hunting rifles um
22:23
but sadly we live in a new era you see
22:26
conservatives are the progressives of
22:28
fifteen to twenty years prior and we’ve
22:31
now caught up to the late 90s and so now
22:34
conservatives are pretty well down the
22:37
road of doing at least some bands of
22:42
guns and the ability to get guns so
22:44
Donald Trump tweeted we cannot let those
22:47
in El Paso Texas and Dayton Ohio die in
22:50
vain it’s interesting that he didn’t
22:52
mention Gilroy but I I don’t think that
22:54
was a deliberate snub yeah I don’t think
22:56
it would done something I think he’d
22:59
done a tweet on Gilroy beforehand so I
23:01
think they because it’s Donald Trump
23:03
it’s whatever’s happening right now
23:05
yeah I don’t yeah I don’t think that was
23:07
you know he’s he’s glad that Gilroy
23:08
happen or whatever but anyway he said
23:10
likewise for those who seriously wounded
23:12
we can never forget them and those who
23:14
came before them
23:15
Republicans and Democrats must come
23:16
together and get strong background
23:18
checks and then he talks about
23:19
potentially marrying it to immigration
23:22
reform so that you can have the
23:23
government control your guns and your
23:25
ability to travel and so so some are
23:31
saying well Owen and Dan Crenshaw he did
23:34
the same or as we now call him dan fudge
23:38
Shaw who said the solutions aren’t
23:41
obvious even if we pretend they are but
23:43
we must try let’s start with the taps
23:44
act maybe also implement state red flag
23:47
laws or gun violence restraining orders
23:49
stop them before they can hurt someone
23:52
the problem of course with this is some
23:56
people are saying well they’re not
23:57
calling for banning guns you say they’re
23:59
calling for limiting who can get the
24:02
guns and that’s completely different um
24:04
and in some ways that’s way worse yeah
24:08
it seems like that’s actually well I
24:10
mean I don’t know if it’s way worse but
24:14
it’s it’s the different it’s a different
24:17
side of the same coin
24:18
and they both are awful
24:21
both are awful you yes anytime that
24:26
something like this happens it is a try
24:30
it’s a travesty
24:31
to purely tragedy like in I don’t know
24:34
anybody out there with the exception of
24:37
people who are rooting for the white
24:38
nationalists or anything like that who
24:41
are happy when something like this no no
24:43
no no no I can’t there is not a single
24:45
person out there like everybody’s like
24:47
oh yeah the NRA is probably happy about
24:49
yeah no they’re not no one is happy
24:51
about this
24:51
nobody is happy when something like this
24:53
happens no it is awful and you’re get a
24:59
ton of politicians and pond
25:01
and even people who even people who do
25:07
you know what we what we do except on a
25:09
much smaller scale right possible but
25:14
but people who do what we do and they do
25:17
a motion based they want emotion based
25:20
legislation right and you don’t think
25:22
about the fact that emotion based
25:23
legislation ends up restricting the
25:27
future for well the rest of society yeah
25:32
yeah and it’s like oh well we need to
25:34
fix this here we need to fix this now we
25:36
need to do something we need to do this
25:37
BAM this is done right
25:40
it ends up with people down the line not
25:46
being able to protect themselves or not
25:49
being able to travel freely or not being
25:51
able to pick any pick any freedom or
25:56
right that you love you know not being
25:58
able to say with the words that you want
25:59
to say because you might end up being
26:02
thrown in jail or fined or whatever or
26:04
killed or killed right you could end up
26:08
dead Hill yeah yeah Oh side note Chris
26:12
Reynolds found out about eight can today
26:15
[Music]
26:18
he asked me he was like what is H and I
26:21
was like it’s like 4chan it’s for shame
26:22
times two without the class it’s fortune
26:27
without like the redeeming like
26:29
wholesome memes and and you know people
26:31
talking about how well their day went
26:32
it’s just pure hate um and he’s right
26:37
there’s definitely a lot of people
26:38
that’s very happy again hey Chan is
26:43
4chan without the class so I mean that
26:45
kind of gives you an idea of who’s happy
26:48
yeah this is not the general public
26:51
that’s happy or even the general Trump
26:53
supporting public or the general Liz
26:55
Warren supporting public or the vast
26:59
majority of people who are not total
27:01
sociopaths are not happy that this
27:03
happened that this is not no one’s
27:05
cheering that this happened we’re all
27:07
horrified by this we’re also worried
27:10
about the unintended or possibly
27:12
intended consequences of some of this
27:14
legislation that’s
27:15
proposed oh by the way you know we did
27:18
mention that the Democrats are the
27:20
Republicans had had you know we had
27:22
Trump with his tweet and we had a
27:24
Crenshaw with his tweet and apparently
27:26
my beloved marianne williamson also
27:29
tweeted something and so the kid signed
27:33
it up just a little bit i mean it was
27:35
just a thing that she said that it’s you
27:37
know whatever i’m sorry short long story
27:42
short see she wasn’t happy about
27:45
outlawing something something that i
27:48
don’t remember
27:49
oh yeah hillary clinton jumped out on
27:54
the we need to get rid of all the guns
27:56
yeah every every democrat out there is
28:00
and many republicans are doing the exact
28:02
same thing because there is no real
28:05
difference between the two main parties
28:06
not not at this point no it’s it’s a
28:09
rhetoric thing and even their rhetoric
28:10
there’s less and less daylight between
28:12
their rhetoric what conservatives are
28:15
doing is saying well instead of beating
28:16
any type of gun we just need to limit
28:18
who gets them but here’s the problem
28:19
with that if we banned let’s say we
28:22
banned ar-15s and guns that are similar
28:25
to a or 15s which means pretty much any
28:27
medium to small caliber semi-automatic
28:30
hunting rifle and the result of that
28:34
would be that you couldn’t buy those
28:36
anymore legally and if you committed a
28:40
crime and used one of those you’d have
28:43
an additional charge the odds of them
28:45
just like with this bump stock thing you
28:47
don’t see the ATF out trying to you know
28:49
kicking down people’s door looking for
28:51
bump stocks just because it’s not
28:53
practical to try to do that what you
28:54
would have is you know gun buybacks and
28:57
amnesties and whatever and most people
28:59
would just hold on to their guns the
29:01
problem with these red flag laws is that
29:04
all it takes and I’m not as familiar
29:06
with the taps Act I’m not sure do you
29:08
know what the taps Act is no I’m not as
29:11
familiar with the taps Act no problem
29:16
yeah I’ll look it up in a second but the
29:19
thing with the red flag laws the red
29:20
flag laws were designed that if you know
29:23
someone who is potentially an eminent
29:25
threat to you know those around them and
29:27
them in a threat to others you can call
29:29
the
29:29
and the police can come and tell the
29:32
person we’re taking your gun temporarily
29:35
until we can figure out if everything’s
29:37
okay it’s like a wellness check but also
29:39
they confiscate your gun which is a
29:41
violation of your Fourth Amendment
29:42
rights your second Amendment right it’s
29:44
violation of your freedoms and it has
29:46
killed I think I think something like
29:48
ten people have already been killed by
29:49
police in various red flag law
29:52
situations where they were not
29:53
committing any crime they were in their
29:55
own home and the police showed up and
29:57
told them I’m taking your gun because
29:59
someone called and told the police on
30:01
you which if you’ve ever had a meme
30:03
reported on Facebook or you know ever
30:06
ever had anyone report you on social
30:08
media those are the people who are gonna
30:10
get mad at you find out what your
30:12
address and name are and call the police
30:14
and say that you’re a danger and to go
30:15
pick you up so it’s it’s a really
30:16
dangerous thing these red flag laws
30:19
right and the taps act doesn’t look like
30:21
it’s much better I just I just did a
30:23
quick google on it and it opens with for
30:28
decades the process to identify
30:29
investigate assess and mitigate threats
30:31
has been in place to counter targeted
30:34
violence pioneered by the Secret Service
30:36
if it you if it works to protect the
30:38
president elected officials foreign
30:40
dignitaries buh-buh-buh why are we using
30:42
it to protect our children and local
30:43
communities which anytime that somebody
30:45
says we need to do this for the children
30:48
I automatically question it because they
30:51
are using that as a political tool and
30:54
in it it’s a dirty trick
30:57
yes writing a motion out of people but
31:00
it will standardize and provide a
31:02
behavioral threat assessment and
31:04
management process across the federal
31:07
government provide the states with
31:10
training resources and support needed to
31:12
stand up community based
31:15
multidisciplinary behavioral threat
31:17
assessments and basically if you start
31:19
what this is saying is if you’re acting
31:21
in a way that somebody sees a behavioral
31:25
threat they can come in and try and take
31:28
your weapons is what or arrest you
31:32
is what it sounds like really quick
31:35
google search and yeah and that’s on a
31:40
brain bobbins website
31:43
Brian babban shout out to Brian babban
31:45
we uh that sounds like pre-crime right
31:49
yeah exactly it’s it’s Minority Report
31:51
yeah it’s like we without the technology
31:55
you’re acting chair just with jerks on
31:57
databases going yeah let’s thank has
31:59
gone uh it sounds like it’s like if you
32:02
express frustration online and say you
32:06
know this person this to throw this guy
32:08
in a wood chipper or something like that
32:09
now you’re gonna have Secret Service
32:11
after you instead of dealing with that
32:14
we already have laws against making
32:16
terroristic threats so this is going a
32:18
step past that and saying well if you
32:20
start to act kind of funny then you know
32:23
what we’re gonna step in and do
32:24
something bass says I’m sure no jilted
32:27
lovers will ever use this act
32:28
maliciously exactly like this is this is
32:32
a really really really really bad idea
32:35
and Trump also tweeted that you know
32:37
that some stuff about you know video
32:40
games which is that there’s your First
32:43
Amendment so Sarah Sarah and reg she
32:48
said as a parent start not as a parent
32:51
on the airplane I’m on right now is
32:53
talking about the shootings and ranting
32:55
about video games being the influence
32:57
yeah no he’s definitely I remember he I
33:01
remember hearing this twin Columbine
33:02
happened yeah it was the video games and
33:05
people blamed the movie heathers
33:07
and which I thought yeah I hate yeah but
33:16
they they constantly look and blame
33:21
anything they can except for what needs
33:24
to be blamed and in all honesty of the I
33:29
think it’s of the 27 people who have
33:34
been arrested for mass shootings this
33:35
year I think it’s 27 them don’t quote me
33:37
on that number
33:38
I think 26 of them grew up without a dad
33:41
they found father figures in other areas
33:43
that weren’t good people and they ended
33:46
up this was sort of the road that they
33:50
went down like right I’m not somebody
33:53
who’s like yeah you need a strong
33:54
nuclear family blah blah blah but in
33:57
cases having a dad in the picture having
33:59
a dad an imam in the picture it’s
34:03
important to the growth of a human
34:07
especially for this particular problem
34:09
which is like men with problem young men
34:13
with problems who you know decide that
34:15
this is the best way to do it and not
34:17
just with you know we white mass
34:19
shooters but there are you know a lot of
34:22
people get attack that when a you know
34:24
when a black person commits a violent
34:25
crime we call them thugs and you know
34:27
scum or whatever and and say that you
34:29
know that’s just how they are or
34:30
whatever and when we talk about white
34:32
people we start talking about the roots
34:33
of what cause but this is just as true
34:35
with a lot of these you know young black
34:37
men that are that are getting caught up
34:38
in in violent stuff and white men and
34:41
everything else I think whether it’s a
34:43
father or whatever else most boys if
34:46
they don’t have a strong positive male
34:51
role model in their lives I think that
34:54
are they all gonna become mass shooters
34:56
or criminals or whatever no but I think
34:57
it presents potential problems are there
35:01
mass shooters who had great family
35:03
structures and everything else
35:04
absolutely but I think you know Shaun
35:06
said just treat each other like human
35:08
beings as the start of the solution I
35:09
think you have a lot of people that have
35:11
learned to be dehumanized and dehumanize
35:15
others and by the time they’re in their
35:18
20s they’re weaponized they’re ready to
35:20
kill people and have been for quite some
35:22
time but now they have the means and
35:24
ability to actually do so and it’s um
35:26
it’s scary as hell I mean going back to
35:29
this video game thing first of all so
35:33
this is a Boomer refrain this is a
35:35
common Boomer refrain that it’s not
35:38
they’re not the only one saying it but
35:39
they’re the ones you’re most likely to
35:40
hear from that you know the video games
35:43
are just so realistic and they’re fully
35:45
immersive and they’re killing people
35:46
they’ve been saying this since the days
35:47
of like Nintendo 64 with like James Bond
35:50
Goldeneye and stuff like that as soon
35:52
even with like Wolfenstein 3d and stuff
35:55
later yeah yeah but I mean especially
35:57
with like this the first-person shooters
35:59
when like doom and Wolfenstein 3d and
36:02
stuff came out on account the average
36:06
boomer what went was raised on cartoons
36:11
with the characters gleefully and
36:13
routinely murdered each other multiple
36:15
times in an episode and the whole
36:18
episode was about how they needed to
36:20
murder each other for various like
36:22
trivial reasons I don’t like this rabbit
36:26
I’m gonna murder him well and then
36:31
what’s that wabbit
36:33
I’m sorry wabbit I don’t like this
36:36
wabbit I’m gonna morto him
36:38
this wascally wabbit I have to moidu him
36:42
and that was that was a terrible Elmer
36:47
Fudd and I apologize but so they were
36:51
raised on that and then they’d go
36:53
outside and dress like cowboys and
36:56
indigenous peoples and they would and
36:58
they would shoot at each other with cap
37:01
guns that had little bits of gunpowder
37:03
in it now you got me that some of these
37:06
3d games are pretty immersive and pretty
37:08
realistic there is nothing more
37:09
realistic than walking up to your friend
37:11
and pointing a revolver at him and
37:13
shooting him in the head and he goes ah
37:14
I got some of that on my face cuz you
37:16
know it pops out and whatever like I was
37:18
that last generation of kids that had
37:20
cap guns and they had already made them
37:22
less powerful and you could still hurt
37:24
someone just being close enough to them
37:25
that it just kind of burned them a
37:27
little that’s far more immersive than
37:29
anything in the newest Halo or Red Dead
37:33
Redemption or what-have-you like I mean
37:35
it’s like when a grand theft auto was
37:38
the biggest game out there and yeah
37:41
people really oh this is gonna cause
37:43
people don’t want to go around and
37:45
kidnap hookers and kill them and steal
37:49
tanks well stealing tanks you know who
37:52
doesn’t want to steal a tank let’s be
37:54
clear let’s be clear here but not
37:57
everybody is gonna play Grand Theft Auto
38:01
and then go okay well now I need to go
38:03
find a hooker and then take the money
38:06
that I paid her for sex and killer like
38:11
you know no I never did were the people
38:15
that wanted to do that before playing
38:16
the game yeah yeah and the same thing
38:19
with movies music whatever you want to
38:21
blame on these external things
38:25
if you take someone that’s got some
38:26
serious problems and expose them to this
38:28
stuff is there gonna be a problem yeah
38:30
but that’s always been the case people
38:33
used to like again if you look at the
38:35
cartoons of today where people are
38:37
outraged because there’s like a gay
38:39
character or something it’s like oh my
38:40
gosh at least it’s you know that’s so
38:43
much worse than loony toons where Bugs
38:45
Bunny would dress up like a woman
38:47
make out with Elmer Fudd and then murder
38:49
him we had like it’s just there’s always
38:56
been and if you listened to like the
38:58
jazz music and the rhythm of blues music
39:01
of the 10th of the 1910s and 20s and 30s
39:04
it’s I mean they talk about violence and
39:07
sex and everything else like this myth
39:11
that you know you’re gonna have more
39:14
murder if if the games or movies are
39:18
more violent it’s just if anything those
39:20
things are a catharsis that you know can
39:23
can help people vent and and not explode
39:27
let’s also talk about the fact that the
39:29
murder rate has been steadily dropping
39:30
since the 1970s even with these mass
39:34
shootings the murder rate is down
39:36
markedly from its peak in the in the in
39:38
the 70s which is when gun control was at
39:40
its highest as gun control went down so
39:43
did the murder rate I’m not saying that
39:45
there’s a direct cause of correlation
39:46
I’m saying that that is a very powerful
39:48
data point against the narrative that
39:50
gun control saves lives it doesn’t at
39:53
least not in the US you know the quote
39:58
Eminem who I don’t quote often but you
40:00
can blame it on there when Marilyn or
40:03
the heroine but where were the parents
40:04
uh that’s why I didn’t have kids
40:10
that’s not sure but so can’t blame this
40:15
on either of us right because we don’t
40:17
have kids yeah it the thing is the the
40:22
the entire week was a tragedy and it’s
40:28
awful and I know a lot of people say
40:33
that if you don’t want to do something
40:36
about it you don’t care about human life
40:37
and that’s just
40:38
no that’s a little bit.you you still
40:44
care about human life you cared deeply
40:46
about human life it’s you want people to
40:50
be able to protect themselves in all
40:52
circumstances everywhere yeah that is
40:56
the difference maker in my mind hey yeah
41:00
you disagree with me and that’s fine and
41:03
I know like a lot of my a lot of my
41:05
friends I’ve known for a long time they
41:06
they do disagree with me they think that
41:08
because I’m not for gun control and I
41:09
think that I should be able to own
41:11
whatever weapon I want I don’t care
41:14
about human life and you know I’m part
41:16
of the problem and I’m allowing this
41:17
stuff to happen but no it’s you see it
41:23
one way I see a different way and the
41:25
only difference is I want to be able to
41:28
protect me my family my friends if a
41:33
situation ever arises and that’s all it
41:35
is
41:36
that’s right that’s literally what it is
41:38
my thing is I’m an anarchist I don’t I
41:40
was 40 minutes in here’s my little
41:43
anarchists rant the US government is
41:45
both the largest terrorist organization
41:46
in the largest black market arms dealer
41:48
in human history they operate a massive
41:52
brutal global empire that results in the
41:55
massacre of civilians countless numbers
41:59
of civilians every year they also
42:01
operate a the largest prison population
42:04
in human history both in terms of
42:07
percentage of the population and raw
42:09
numbers it’s actually going down
42:10
slightly over the last five four five to
42:13
six years but it’s a huge prison
42:16
population make up a quarter of the the
42:19
current prison population despite making
42:21
up 4% of the total human population uh
42:25
most of those people that are in jail
42:27
are people of color poor people and
42:29
people of color who are in there for
42:32
victimless crimes where they didn’t
42:34
actually harm anybody any talk about
42:38
reducing violence particularly gun
42:40
violence or weapons violence but
42:42
violence in general oh and the leaders
42:45
of this government are constantly
42:47
dehumanizing someone in some form or
42:49
another whether it’s foreign people or
42:50
immigrants or or
42:51
you know white male gun owners or
42:53
whatever they’re dehumanizing someone to
42:56
create an enemy and a scapegoat to blame
42:59
all of society’s ails on and when you
43:02
when so all these things all these
43:04
things combined tell me that any
43:05
conversation about reducing violence
43:07
that isn’t centered around disarming or
43:09
at least greatly reducing the size scope
43:12
power and lethality of the US government
43:15
is not a serious discussion about ending
43:17
violence it’s it’s a discussion about
43:19
fear of people with you know individual
43:22
people with guns but it isn’t it isn’t
43:24
actually a serious data-driven
43:26
discussion about ending violence so
43:32
there yeah so we had some I guess good
43:35
news or silver linings in the El Paso
43:37
shooting there was a guy named Glenn
43:39
Oakley who is a total total hero Matt I
43:43
think you know a little bit more about
43:45
Glenn before I played this video
43:47
Glenn Oakley hang on once a Curtis
43:51
Lupton said so murder rates are down but
43:52
immigrants have raised murder to record
43:55
highs we didn’t say that right yeah no
43:58
we’ve never said that immigrants both
44:01
legal and illegal are statistically less
44:04
likely to commit violent crimes than
44:06
Americans and American citizens are in
44:08
fact there is the massive influx of
44:12
immigrants to the u.s. in the 90s
44:14
actually contributed to the overall
44:16
reduction in the violent crime rate
44:18
because they they increased the overall
44:21
population by a pretty good jump without
44:23
providing a correlating increase in
44:26
violent crime so no we’ve never we’ve
44:30
never said that not here okay yeah I was
44:33
like I don’t think we said that but I’m
44:34
double check that if Curtis we also
44:39
don’t want a wall yeah we don’t agree
44:43
with the wall we don’t we don’t agree
44:45
with a wall right so Glenn Oakley he was
44:48
a he was a member of the military he was
44:52
hanging out at footlocker next door to
44:56
next door to the Walmart the Walmart
44:58
yeah yeah some kids ran in and they’re
45:00
like somebody shooting at the Walmart
45:02
and they were like okay and he thought
45:04
that the
45:05
he thought that the kids were joking or
45:07
whatever initially and so he walked
45:10
outside and he says that he heard the
45:12
pop pop and so he pulls out his gun he
45:17
pulls out his gun and goes just to check
45:19
it out but and he saw kids running and
45:23
he’s grabbing the kids and trying to get
45:24
him out of there and then the police
45:26
stopped him because they thought he may
45:28
have been the shooter and Glenn Oakley
45:30
is a black he’s black I was like black
45:34
gentleman black person black at like
45:38
that he’s black him so the police
45:40
stopped him he showed him that you know
45:41
he was like look I’m licensed to carry
45:43
I’m not the shooter they said that there
45:46
was a shooter in there right right they
45:48
stopped him from going in which so he
45:51
ended up going and grabbing kids and
45:54
running a wave with them and saved
45:57
multiple at least pulled him away from
46:00
the danger and it was it was really
46:05
brave for him to do everything that he
46:07
did
46:08
and when somebody messaged him about it
46:10
and said hey what you did was really
46:12
great he replied with I could have done
46:15
better yeah yeah so this is this is a
46:18
short video where he was interviewed
46:21
shortly after the shooting first of all
46:22
just the fact keep in mind when you’re
46:24
listening to this this just happened
46:27
like I think so just the composure of
46:31
this guy to even like talk about it
46:32
coherently so here’s the video of him
46:34
talking about what what had just
46:36
happened in El Paso New Jersey a little
46:38
kid runs and it’s almost I can shoot a
46:40
warm-up of me into god that’s a he’s a
46:43
kid we didn’t believe him so I walk up
46:44
and I’ll go to Foot Locker
46:46
fuck fuck I got my last kiss off with my
46:49
gun out
46:49
I just gotta hide they closed the
46:53
footlocker and something something
46:55
winter never so secure the cage I see a
47:03
whole bunch of kids well you know what
47:04
their peers though so I got my bag man
47:06
I’m trying to pick them up warm up as
47:07
many as I can’t just run out but they’re
47:09
so like you know anxious my jumping out
47:11
of my hand so ambushed I could do for
47:13
the kids so I just made my way out and
47:16
when I got up I guess one of the cops
47:19
thought I would shoot or something so I
47:20
had it like so my clipping stuff summons
47:22
the Fukai comply skate he’s fine go out
47:24
I caught a friend something to pick up
47:26
my gun I’m here now
47:29
it was just a whole bunch of kids up in
47:31
there
47:36
we’re never out there stuff I try to
47:38
pick up as many as I couldn’t bring it
47:40
about I was just so worried about those
47:42
kids man could tell me there’s more than
47:45
one shooter I heard it was bored and I’m
47:48
just worried about this kid I wouldn’t
47:49
really worry I was trying to pick up the
47:50
kids man I wasn’t by myself so you know
48:03
that’s ink I mean he’s upset he didn’t
48:07
do more weight he’s worried about the
48:10
kids
48:14
incredible compose again like I like you
48:21
you were just you know apart potentially
48:24
gonna you know engage a shooter and
48:26
dealing with the cops and knowing that
48:28
they see a guy whether they got forget a
48:30
black guy with a gun guy with a gun
48:31
period any guy with a gun
48:33
was showing up to a shooting you know
48:36
you’re already you know ready for the
48:38
worst and so to go through all that and
48:41
then and then still be that composed
48:44
that’s incredible there’s that um that
48:47
quote from mr. Rogers when he says that
48:49
you know whenever a terrible thing would
48:50
happen on TV his mother would say you
48:52
know look for the helpers and you know
48:55
focus on the people that are doing the
48:57
good in the most terrible situations
48:59
this is a perfect example of that like
49:02
this guy is the quintessential helper
49:05
and I have nothing but good things to
49:08
say about the guy um so one of the
49:13
things that everybody always does is
49:14
they always report on the shooters or
49:16
you know the people who caused these
49:18
events to happen yeah you know the
49:20
so-and-so he grew up in whatever you
49:23
know he’s this old this is his
49:25
background but yeah those aren’t the
49:28
people I ever want to remember I want to
49:30
remember the Glen oakley’s I whenever
49:31
the people who actually went out and you
49:35
know they tried to help or they did help
49:37
yeah and right they did what they could
49:40
to make a difference because those are
49:43
the people that matter those are the
49:45
people that are important those are the
49:48
people
49:49
we should be celebrating we shouldn’t be
49:51
talking about the different shooters in
49:54
the different cases this is one of the
49:57
first times I don’t even know the
49:58
shooters names because I didn’t even
49:59
want to learn him yeah yeah I saw Glenn
50:03
Oakley and I said you know what Glenn
50:04
Oakley deserves to be remembered Glenn
50:06
Oakley deserves to be talked about yeah
50:09
yeah absolutely yeah I I get why we talk
50:15
about the shooters I get it like there’s
50:19
this sort of morbid curiosity as to what
50:22
drove them to do it there is this um the
50:27
politicians line up to you know blame
50:29
you know the rhetoric of the other side
50:31
or whatever for the actual you know
50:33
shooting that happened so I get why it
50:35
happens it just isn’t actually helpful
50:38
to anyone like it doesn’t it doesn’t
50:41
help uh and to look at I think it’s way
50:46
more helpful to look at someone like a
50:48
Glenn Oakley as a I’m not saying every
50:51
single person is built to rush into a
50:53
Walmart during a shooting but to look at
50:55
people who are actually trying to help
50:57
I’m sure there are many other heroes
50:59
people trying to raise money for
51:00
funerals and and and hospital expenses
51:03
and you know people that are helping
51:05
with blood drives and all that sorts of
51:07
stuff I think if we focused if we got
51:12
the politics and the morbid curiosity
51:13
out of it and focused on the people that
51:17
helped after these terrible things these
51:19
people that who decide to help others
51:22
which way outnumber the people trying to
51:25
harm for every shooter there’s probably
51:27
a couple hundred people out there trying
51:29
to help in one way or another however
51:31
they can um I think that we focus on
51:35
them because I think that that makes
51:37
this it doesn’t make it any less scary
51:39
or any less terrible what happened but
51:42
it puts in perspective that this world
51:44
isn’t filled with shooters it’s filled
51:46
with helpers and there are a couple
51:47
really bad people and we shouldn’t leave
51:49
people defenseless to those really bad
51:51
people so we have a we have a video and
52:02
one second we have a video from one of
52:05
the libertarian presidential candidates
52:07
dan Berman who wanted to talk about some
52:09
of the rhetoric coming from these
52:10
shootings and from the people that did
52:12
the shootings this is not an endorsement
52:13
of Dan Berman’s campaign we definitely
52:16
like him we’ve had him on Matt’s show
52:17
probably an upcoming end of the show and
52:20
Dan’s in front of the show and a friend
52:21
a friend of ours but yeah we’re not
52:25
endorsing anybody’s campaign it’s just
52:27
it’s a good video and we wanted to share
52:31
it it’s a great video and a great
52:33
message and and so we’re gonna play that
52:35
play that now from Dan Berman let’s talk
52:37
about mass shootings over the weekend
52:39
there were three in America before I say
52:41
anything else just know that this video
52:43
is not to attack any of our political
52:44
leaders and it’s not to favor any
52:46
policies on the left or the right right
52:49
now everyone is trying to point blame to
52:51
politicians for these violent shootings
52:52
Elizabeth Warren even blamed Donald
52:55
Trump in a tweet despite the fact that
52:57
one of the shooters was one of her
52:58
supporters another of these shooters was
53:00
a Trump supporter who left behind a
53:02
manifesto citing that his motive was the
53:05
Hispanic invasion this is rhetoric that
53:08
Trump has said repeatedly is not just
53:10
shootings either people are running over
53:12
their political opponents with cars or
53:14
attacking them for wearing the wrong hat
53:15
this is what we have to understand it is
53:17
not the fault of these politicians but
53:19
they are not clear from responsibility
53:21
people listen to their leaders that is a
53:24
great power and with great power comes
53:26
great responsibility
53:28
emotions are powerful they create strong
53:31
bonds between people and ideas they
53:33
allow people to be influenced and even
53:35
controlled politicians often take on
53:37
challenging positions on emotionally
53:40
charged issues because they know it will
53:42
gain the loyalty of followers the media
53:44
which is largely driven by ratings
53:46
constantly seeks to exploit our emotions
53:49
to increase viewership we are constantly
53:52
bombarded with emotional bait to guide
53:54
our actions these actions usually amount
53:56
to paying our taxes voting
53:58
and letting the politicians handle the
54:00
rest for some this just isn’t enough
54:02
thinking with our emotions often leads
54:05
to bad decisions especially for those
54:07
who are taking matters into their own
54:08
hands
54:09
they will commit terrible acts of
54:10
violence not directly prompted by the
54:13
leaders they follow but fueled by
54:15
emotions that those leaders triggered I
54:17
often discuss very emotional issues and
54:20
some of my supporters have suggested
54:22
they want to engage in acts of violence
54:24
to achieve our goals
54:25
I know emotions can run high over these
54:27
very sensitive issues and so as their
54:30
leader I tell them not to engage in
54:32
violence sometimes they’ll try to
54:34
justify it and point out that the people
54:36
they want to commit violence against are
54:38
actually the criminals and I might even
54:39
agree with them but I tell them there
54:42
has to be another way because I don’t
54:43
want a civil war even if they downplay
54:46
these suggestions as a joke I still take
54:48
them seriously I’m calling on Donald
54:51
Trump Elizabeth Warren and every other
54:53
politician to do the same we cannot be
54:55
held liable for the acts of our
54:57
followers if we did not instruct them to
54:59
commit acts of violence but we have a
55:01
responsibility to let them know that we
55:03
do not support those acts of violence if
55:05
they look up to us they will listen we
55:07
need to stop saying hateful things to
55:09
our political opponents knowing they
55:11
will incite emotional reactions while I
55:13
absolutely believe it in our right to
55:15
free speech and the right to say those
55:16
things leaders should be held to a
55:18
higher standard and set an example for
55:20
others if as Trump says hatred does not
55:23
belong in this country we need to stop
55:26
inciting hatred against others it’s time
55:29
our leaders started taking
55:30
responsibility with their influential
55:32
powers and their own followers united we
55:34
stand divided we fall
55:36
[Music]
55:40
yeah absolutely I mean I this is one of
55:46
the problems Matt when we have and this
55:49
is the problem the democratic system in
55:51
general when you have when the power is
55:54
when you centralize power but then allow
55:57
the people in general to to directly
56:01
access that centralized power through
56:04
their vote
56:05
what ends up happening is it doesn’t
56:07
become a decentralization of power what
56:09
it becomes is your friends and neighbors
56:12
and loved ones becoming your adversaries
56:15
if they disagree with you on anything
56:18
not just your adversaries or or someone
56:21
that disagrees with you but now they’re
56:22
your enemy potentially they’re trying to
56:24
take your rights and what happens as a
56:27
result of that is ever-increasing
56:30
warlike rhetoric from both sides and
56:33
what we’ve seen more and more recently
56:34
is that the leaders of these different
56:37
movements and parties are more and more
56:39
likely to either directly inflame that
56:42
kind of rhetoric or at least just kind
56:44
of stand back and and let it go we’re
56:48
not going to hear from the media at
56:51
large the at least not the left-wing
56:53
part of the media that one of the
56:56
shooters was a Liz Warren supporter like
56:58
that’s not going to enter the narrative
57:00
that these are white nationalist Trump
57:02
supporters that are doing these
57:04
shootings it’s just it’s not it doesn’t
57:05
match it and so it’s not gonna be talked
57:07
about just like we’re not really talking
57:09
about the the the shootings over the
57:12
weekend in in Chicago where 42 people
57:15
were shot and in an area with very heavy
57:18
gun control because that doesn’t match
57:20
the media narrative that doesn’t change
57:23
the fact that Liz Warren Donald Trump by
57:28
talking about in dehumanizing and
57:30
talking about people that don’t agree
57:32
with them as though they’re bad people
57:35
not just people with a difference of
57:36
opinion um it leads to that the if
57:40
you’re already kind of damaged to begin
57:42
with and you’re hearing that there are
57:43
these terrible people whether they’re
57:45
immigrants conservatives foreigners
57:48
Muslims white Christians whatever there
57:51
terrible people they’re ruining
57:52
everything there are threat to your
57:54
existence and someone’s got to do
57:56
something well if you’re someone that
57:59
isn’t like most people and you’re
58:01
already looking for a reason to harm
58:02
people
58:03
you just got your reason right which
58:11
there there’s so many different things
58:16
that could be talked about about this I
58:25
every time we have to do one of these
58:27
shows it in which you know it’s been
58:30
happening more and more recently but
58:31
yeah it it’s not easy it’s not easy for
58:37
anybody these are hard times for
58:40
everybody out there and they end up
58:45
becoming much more divisive for
58:47
everybody because you get the people who
58:50
react to these things and they want to
58:53
enact gun control because they think
58:55
that’s going to help and then you have
58:56
the people who don’t want to enact gun
58:57
control right a larger divide and the
59:03
narratives and people get more upset and
59:06
now the hatred grows and it gets so much
59:11
more difficult to have regular normal
59:16
debate as opposed to just vitriol being
59:20
spewed back and forth between the two
59:22
you know everything turns straw man and
59:27
it’s oh you hate children because you
59:29
don’t believe in gun control and you you
59:32
want a big police state where the police
59:34
will be able to come in and just murder
59:36
your dog if yeah you do and it just
59:39
turns into this huge powder keg of
59:41
emotion between everybody and I mean it
59:46
is so hard to talk about every time but
59:53
we but we all of us everybody having
59:55
listened to everybody watching we have
59:58
to be able to talk about it and we have
60:00
to be able to have civil conversation
60:03
about everything
60:04
without getting to the point of reaching
60:09
hatred because that’s Star Wars taught
60:14
us you know he has a lot of hate what is
60:19
it it’s been so long since I’ve seen
60:21
that fear leads to anger anger leads to
60:26
hate hate oh oh yeah okay yeah as you
60:31
lost me I’m like it’s at your app I
60:33
don’t know um your fear leads to anger
60:35
anger leads to hate hate leads to the
60:38
dark side and both this argument for
60:42
both sides leads to fear in both sides
60:45
you know and then discuss it which leads
60:47
to anger and the anger then leads to
60:50
hate and then somebody who has gone to
60:55
the dark side does something and it
60:58
starts that cycle all over again ya know
61:01
it’s it’s an absolutely terrible thing
61:03
it doesn’t help to feed the flames and
61:05
if you’re like me or Matt or or you know
61:09
most of our followers and listeners and
61:11
viewers I’m sure are libertarian or
61:14
libertarian leaning but if you’re like
61:15
us where everyone else disagrees with us
61:18
we don’t have a huge base of people that
61:20
agree with us on everything when I talk
61:23
about guns invariably someone’s going to
61:29
tell me that you know I need to talk to
61:31
one of these you know mass shooter
61:33
survivors and and you know and try to
61:35
tell them that I don’t care about their
61:36
children which is not what I said
61:38
if I talk about immigration invariably
61:42
someone’s gonna tell me that I need to
61:43
talk to one of these one of these angel
61:45
parents who lost their children to a
61:47
violent illegal immigrant and tell them
61:49
that I want us to be overrun with
61:50
terrorists and ms-13 members which is
61:52
not what I said
61:54
this is what happens when politicians
61:58
can’t just say I support this because I
62:02
think this is what’s gonna result in it
62:03
I worry about what happens if we don’t
62:05
do it that doesn’t get you attention on
62:07
the news channels that doesn’t get you
62:09
votes that doesn’t get you blind support
62:11
what gets you support is talking about
62:13
you know invaders and terrorists
62:18
like using the most hyperbolic language
62:20
about everything all the time so that
62:23
you whip people up into if you have
62:26
people that are in their 60s and 70s who
62:28
will get read of all ages but especially
62:31
in that age group they will get red in
62:33
the face telling you that you are an
62:36
enemy of all good things because like
62:38
you don’t support
62:39
I don’t know visa limitations or some
62:43
ridiculous pedestrian thing that is a
62:46
serious issue but it’s just it’s just
62:49
insane
62:50
it’s just insane it is and you see it
62:54
like we’re in the middle of an election
62:56
cycle and we’re gonna go into it after
62:59
the paid sponsorship but you see it
63:06
especially in an election cycle at the
63:08
debates last week Don Lemon I think was
63:13
Don Lemon it may have been Jake Tapper
63:14
one of them asked you know with Trump’s
63:18
recent racist tweets and do you consider
63:20
him to be a white supremacist I don’t
63:22
remember the exact wording of the
63:23
question right he was utilizing Chris
63:28
Reynolds’s tilapia fixes no the hell it
63:30
does not listen thank you for having let
63:35
me do that Chris but he said you know he
63:40
said raise it you know do you think done
63:41
do you think Donald Trump is a racist or
63:44
a white nationalist or whatever and they
63:46
used these words that incite anger in
63:49
both sides because it’s like no you’re
63:51
calling somebody that in your dumbing
63:53
down the word racist org right right
63:56
white supremacist or you’re igniting the
64:00
other side but going yes he is one of
64:02
those things we need to get them out and
64:03
it’s just making both sides angry and
64:06
it’s creating more anger and it’s
64:08
creating more hatred and is dividing us
64:12
all the way on every issue because you
64:17
all politicians always talk in like you
64:21
said hyperbolic nature throwing out the
64:24
worst possible scenario and each side
64:27
always ends it with and don’t you care
64:29
about the children
64:30
the children and so if you get asked
64:34
that if any of those politicians that
64:37
said look I’m not ready to call Donald
64:39
Trump a white supremacist but I think
64:41
his rhetoric is not helpful and he at
64:43
times he’s dehumanizing people Allah did
64:46
get booed offstage their life might be
64:48
in danger because they’re in front of a
64:50
frothing crowd of people who want to
64:51
hear the absolute worst and the same
64:53
thing on the Republican side they don’t
64:55
want to hear nuanced language about
64:57
immigration they want to talk about
64:59
invaders and job stealers and gang that
65:02
ms-13 they’re all coming from ms-13
65:05
every single one of them is ms-13 and
65:07
it’s terrible and we need to be focusing

68:23

68:24
speaking of getting started today beta
68:26
or work who got started yesterday after
68:31
a very lackluster presidential campaign
68:34
thus far that has left everyone
68:36
wondering why is beta won’t work running
68:39
for president he had a bit of a standout
68:43
moment I should have grabbed the video I
68:45
even have here that I’m gonna get it and
68:47
I didn’t yeah I saw that I didn’t see it
68:50
in there but I was like maybe spike has
68:52
it on his computer I definitely do not
68:54
okay so I really was on CNN
68:58
and Jake Tapper I’m oh good I didn’t put
69:05
some notes down for this I was just yeah
69:07
he didn’t he you did and uh Jake Tapper
69:10
same same thing as I said happened in
69:13
the debate same thing happened it was
69:14
just an interview just bait oh and Jake
69:17
and he said do you consider the
69:19
president to be a white supremacist and
69:22
Jake Tapper says yes sorry bata bata or
69:26
work says yes I do wish we had the video
69:28
because you know how we say but toe toe
69:32
toe he says it that way oh wow he said
69:36
but toe and I said he must be watching
69:40
our show but yeah and he said he started
69:48
saying man I wish I had more notes on
69:50
this I might still have this pulled up
69:54
somewhere no I know neat but he said yes
69:58
he’s a white supremacist we can’t
70:00
sugarcoat it we can’t go around it we
70:02
absolutely a hundred percent need to
70:05
call him what he is and he’s a racist
70:07
and it’s a white supremacist we saw it
70:08
on the campaign trail when we see it
70:09
with what he does and says now while
70:11
he’s in office right and so we I
70:15
actually I can at least at least can
70:18
play the audio for you to hear could you
70:22
hear that yeah okay so I can at least
70:24
play the audio because he wants to look
70:26
at bay door work let’s just be clear
70:28
about this but this is him being
70:30
interviewed outside of an event about
70:32
asking about Donald Trump what do you
70:38
think you know he’s been saying he’s
70:42
been calling that Mexican immigrants
70:43
rapists III don’t know like members of
70:47
the press what the hold on a second
70:50
you know III it’s it’s these um it’s
70:53
these questions that you know the
70:54
answers to
70:55
I mean connect the dots about what he’s
70:57
been doing in this country he’s not
70:59
tolerating racism he is promoting racism
71:01
he’s not tolerating violence he’s
71:03
inciting racism and violence in this
71:05
country so um you know I I just I don’t
71:09
know what kind of question that is
71:13
so I take hot take from beta or orc guys
71:23
beta work is not happy no they don’t
71:26
work is not happy yeah I was shocked
71:29
listening to that because that was the
71:30
first time I heard that one that was the
71:33
one I was talking about um no wait notes
71:37
next time yeah but no that was my fault
71:40
I complete I forgot to do it I make
71:42
amends for for two things one was for
71:45
trusting Shane when it came to food and
71:47
then the other thing is for for this
71:51
chris says beta meets needs more tilapia
71:53
he obviously just ate tilapia when he
71:58
did that he needed a Snickers is what he
72:02
needed although actually that’s that’s
72:03
that’s actually peak beta that’s really
72:05
who he is as a person um but if you
72:08
recall he he got a lot of attention
72:11
what’s that okay I’m down here talking
72:15
to you even though I could now imagine
72:20
if Matt was because I mean Matt’s like
72:22
average height Boehner works like 62 or
72:25
63 was that by definition yes I’m
72:28
average I like the literal average as am
72:30
i he’s like Bader’s a tall guy a tallest
72:36
lanky guy and he likes to get up on
72:38
counters and stages and chairs and cars
72:42
and then Thetas makes sense everything
72:44
else doesn’t stages makes sense
72:46
everything else is stupid
72:47
he’ll be in a group of like thirty
72:49
people and get up on a table so they can
72:51
all see him because they couldn’t see
72:52
him just standing there and then he gets
72:55
down negating the entire point of
72:58
getting up on the table right um no I’m
73:00
one of you guys that’s why I’m up on
73:02
this damn table with my shoes on the
73:05
table that everyone’s about to eat on
73:06
and or on this truck because God knows
73:10
everyone wanted me to stand on the hood
73:11
of their truck and it gets down hey guys
73:14
I’m I’m bait oh yeah and so he’s cussin
73:20
that’s actually Beto’s natural so like
73:23
he got a lot of attention when he was
73:24
cussing a
73:25
against when he ran against anger weasel
73:26
in in the November anger weasel the
73:30
Zodiac killer in whose dad killed JFK in
73:34
in Texas last year he cussed a lot
73:37
everyone was like yeah we want to cuss
73:39
her and then this was one of those
73:43
things where they’re like these stupid
73:45
conservatives they think they’re all mad
73:47
cuz Vado’s cussing I didn’t hear and I’m
73:49
not a conservative I’m not defending
73:50
cancer
73:51
I didn’t hear Matt did you see a single
73:53
conservative angry that bado cussed no
73:57
cuz I didn’t see it no definitely not in
74:01
the age of Trump no one’s mad about
74:03
cussing anymore wait yeah I did
74:07
definitely I definitely did not see a
74:09
single conservative upset about the
74:13
language I did see some conservatives
74:18
upset about who was it was it Oh God
74:23
Arizona New Mexico some cinema house I’m
74:29
a Christian cinema or whatever name is I
74:32
think she cussed on the floor or
74:34
something people freaked out oh really
74:36
yeah I think that’s funny yeah my dad
74:41
okay so sorry my dad just texted and he
74:46
said he’s not watching but he said did
74:50
you know Winnie is about 45 maybe 50 and
74:53
he’s talking about Winnie Cooper from
74:55
The Wonder Years and without even
74:58
thinking about I said 44 because I know
75:00
that for some reason I know how old
75:02
Danica McKellar is and why because I’ve
75:09
had a crush on her since I was a tiny
75:11
little kid that’s an impressive crush to
75:14
know how old she is just off the top of
75:16
your head whoa do you know her birthday
75:18
I don’t I don’t know
75:22
that’s impressive that she looks good
75:25
well yeah that she’s Winnie Cooper
75:30
that is funny
75:31
so Maria and Bose is I take a milk crate
75:34
with me always to stand up to talk stand
75:36
on to talk to people don’t you I’m
75:38
clearly
75:38
now Maria clearly I have I’ve been I’ve
75:42
been doing stuff wrong because I just
75:47
wanted people to see me at my level as
75:49
opposed to like getting up on a thing
75:50
and then bending down to pretend to
75:52
pretend that you know I’m one of them
75:55
I’m one of them I could have just stood
75:58
next to them like a human being and
75:59
shook their hand but I got a I guess and
76:01
I’m like you little people yeah this is
76:05
how much I care I’m up here but I’m
76:07
willing to come down to your level
76:11
having gotten on this having gotten on
76:13
this counter for zero reason whatsoever
76:15
right nobody has asked bado to do this
76:18
right so but yeah so when he was on the
76:21
CNN video I thought we were doing
76:27
immediately after he said basically all
76:29
of that without the cursing because
76:31
without the cursor right right he’s live
76:33
on CNN they started asking about the
76:38
shootings and the shootings that
76:40
happened and he went from talking about
76:43
Trump being a white supremacist and a
76:45
racist to this is what we need to do in
76:47
order to fix it and he said and Jake I
76:49
have to tell you in addition to
76:52
universal background checks and in
76:53
addition to ending the sale of weapons
76:55
of war and/or communities in addition to
76:58
red flag laws we have got to acknowledge
77:00
the hatred the open racism that were see
77:03
now like I said like we said earlier and
77:07
I’m certain we’re gonna say again this
77:13
is part of what fuels the hatred that
77:18
you are now railing against you can’t
77:27
blame it all on one side it’s the hatred
77:30
is being fueled both sides are Fanning
77:32
that flame in their own special way you
77:36
know and special one somebody’s using
77:38
like a banana leaf fan and the other
77:42
side’s using a asian foldout fan I don’t
77:48
know I don’t know the names of thing
77:51
but they’re both using fans it’s just
77:53
whichever one they prefer and it’s
77:55
whichever one they think which sides
77:59
using the banana leaf and Matt I would
78:02
go that’s what I was thinking of banana
78:06
leaf and the other ones got the Asian
78:07
the Asian like palm frond type deal yeah
78:11
that’s a that’s a visual but of hate
78:15
hate of hate they they’re Fanning the
78:19
flames of hate with these very happy
78:23
fans we’re wearing the the the delays
78:27
wearing the leis of dehumanization in
78:31
corruption
78:34
so nothing we’ve talked about today will
78:40
matter thirty years from now unless they
78:43
pass gun control legislation in which
78:45
case it might although a lot of gun
78:47
control legislation ends up expiring
78:49
within ten years
78:50
once the the heat that caused it to
78:52
happen is gone but here’s something go
78:57
ahead I will say that while the
79:01
shootings were tragic and they
79:03
definitely were the main story that
79:06
everybody knows about yeah personally I
79:10
think this is the most important story
79:13
of the week yeah this one affects all of
79:15
us will affect all of our children I
79:18
don’t have any children but and it will
79:21
affect all of your grandchildren right
79:24
so in the last week the Senate has
79:28
confirmed 13 of Donald Trump’s nominees
79:31
to lifetime appointments in the federal
79:33
judiciary bringing the grand total up to
79:36
a hundred and fifty not yet he’s almost
79:40
at 150 more nominees that are looking to
79:44
get confirmed and probably will in the
79:46
next couple of weeks and that will bring
79:48
it up to a hundred and fifty article
79:50
three judges that Trump has appointed
79:54
which is like isn’t that like a third of
79:57
the judiciary or something like that
79:59
it’s if Chris Reynolds could weigh em
80:02
yeah Chris Chris how what per say
80:04
the of the federal judiciary Maria Eden
80:09
Bose says banana leaf goes to the side
80:11
with the tiki torch guys yeah exactly
80:13
tiki torch and banana banana of Pam that
80:16
makes sense yeah
80:17
when asked about it because most of
80:19
these I think 11 of them I think 11 of
80:22
them happened during the debates while
80:27
the debates were happening they were
80:29
doing voice calls yeah just how churning
80:33
through these things that’s cocaine
80:36
Mitch or Moscow Mitch apparently Moscow
80:40
cocaine turtle Mitch yeah
80:43
he said for too long fairly
80:45
uncontroversial judicial nominees just
80:48
like these have been held up and delayed
80:50
by our Democratic colleagues even when
80:53
the vacancy qualifies as a judicial
80:56
emergency Chris Randall says a big
80:58
percentage uncontroversial district
81:00
judges used to be confirmed promptly in
81:02
big groups by voice vote
81:04
and he said that from the floor ahead of
81:07
the votes on Wednesday which were
81:09
happening at the same time as the
81:10
debates and this is coming from Mitch
81:13
McConnell who confirmed more judges last
81:16
week than he allowed Obama in two years
81:19
the last two years in office
81:21
cocaine Mitch will be remembered for
81:24
keeping Obama judges out of the lower
81:28
federal courts he didn’t pull that crap
81:31
with with supreme court although we did
81:36
with the last one the first two that
81:38
Obama pushed he allowed to go through
81:40
for a vote but when it came to Merrick
81:43
garland he said which is funny cuz
81:46
Merrick garland was of course sort of a
81:49
centrist consensus candidate to put up
81:51
he was like no I
81:54
unlike he and Brett Kavanaugh 90% of the
82:00
time agree yeah it became neither here
82:04
nor there Brent Kavanagh went on to to
82:06
basically be all he’s a if he’s not he’s
82:10
a Mary
82:11
Garlan it’s 90 percent of America Carly
82:16
or I guess Merrick garland could be
82:18
considered
82:18
right Kevin yeah so so I mean if you
82:30
could think of it that way
82:31
but um for four of the 13 judges were
82:37
nominees that Obama had put forth and
82:39
they were added as a part of a deal set
82:42
with them’s in order to speed these
82:46
through so that’s not that great of a
82:49
deal for them it’s it’s not but these
82:52
are people that they wouldn’t have
82:53
confirmed two and a half years ago right
82:56
right okay well we’ll let you have these
82:58
guys we just want these nine and so
83:01
after these 17 more get nominated which
83:04
it’s looking like it’s gonna happen
83:06
he’s got 115 article 3 judges in
83:09
lifetime appointments if he does 5 more
83:13
judges before leaving office he will
83:15
have appointed more judges than any
83:17
other president in history in one term
83:19
yes that’s pretty impressive
83:22
if he does get reelected which Matt and
83:25
I tend to believe will happen assuming
83:27
the economy doesn’t do what it looks
83:29
like a couple days then he will be able
83:34
to appoint way more judges so I mean
83:40
this is when you think about it these
83:42
are these are the ones that are gonna go
83:45
on to become Supreme Court justices
83:47
their aides are going to become federal
83:51
justices like this is a huge sea change
83:54
in the makeup of the let Jude ish iary
83:57
for generations at least one or at least
84:00
a couple of generations it will actually
84:02
ripple on into like great and great
84:05
great grandchildren right this is what
84:10
has happened what has happened with a
84:13
hundred and fifty article 3 judges this
84:18
changes the landscape for the
84:23
unforeseeable future yeah a for quite
84:26
some time and yet anyone want to guess
84:29
how many times this fun fact
84:32
mentioned in the last in the last four
84:36
nights of debates first of the first two
84:39
that we did them again two and then the
84:41
other two that we’re back in the end of
84:43
June when I guess how many times it was
84:44
mentioned this total reshaping of the of
84:47
the judiciary for a hundred years 50 40
84:53
50 60 years minimum anyone want a guest
84:57
anyone no no no guesses huh no guesses
85:01
that’s interesting
85:02
well not a one on any of the any other
85:04
chat oh no 1.25 a quarter that is you
85:10
are 0.25 off off it was mentioned not
85:15
even once and it’s one thing to say that
85:18
the the reporters didn’t bring it up
85:20
because it wasn’t sexy or whatever none
85:21
of the candidates brought it up no it’s
85:24
one questionable whether they knew so
85:29
here you have literally Hitler who is
85:32
like a white nationalist supremacist and
85:34
is you know going to bring us all to
85:38
total ruin but you’re not gonna mention
85:40
the fact that he and his good friend
85:43
cocaine Mitch the turtle from Moscow
85:46
Mick McConnell I’ve got his name
85:50
McDonald what are completely changing
85:55
what the courts are gonna look like for
85:57
a long long time yes for a very long
86:03
time and now the reason that this is
86:06
possible the reason that this was so
86:11
easy for Donald Trump to do was because
86:17
during the Obama era Senate when Obama
86:22
was president and oh god Harry Reid
86:24
Harry Reid thank you Harry are you the
86:28
Senate Majority Leader they did the
86:31
nuclear option and you didn’t need 60
86:33
votes to get somebody passed it changed
86:36
everything it changed everything and
86:39
they did it out of pure hubris that they
86:41
were gonna win and they were gonna sweep
86:43
and they were just gonna do exactly what
86:45
Trump did they couldn’t lost and yeah
86:53
well it’s past the nuclear option a year
86:57
later and ever since Mitch McConnell has
87:01
been in charge of the Senate right that
87:03
was the end of that it hubris is a word
87:11
for that
87:12
so I remember your hubris it was pure
87:16
hubris this is a hubris tastic episode
87:20
we had our nipple episode this is our
87:22
hubris episode it’s also a nipple
87:25
episode all of our episodes are nipple
87:26
episodes but we we because we have
87:30
nipples we have Matt Wright has nipples
87:33
does have nipples Matt writes nipples
87:36
nipples so humorous
87:40
so I remember after George Bush got
87:44
reelected I was a tiny tiny child 2004
87:46
was a kid in 67 and I remember when he
87:49
got reelected and Karl Rove talked about
87:51
the fact that there was I think he said
87:54
that the Republicans were going to be in
87:57
charge for the night I think he said 50
87:59
years ridiculous thing
88:00
the very next election cycle the
88:04
Democrats take the Congress and the very
88:06
next presidential cycle the Democrats
88:08
take the White House similar hubris 60
88:13
years prior Adolf Hitler says he’s
88:16
created a thousand-year Reich within 5
88:19
years he kills himself I’m thinking that
88:24
maybe politicians should make stops
88:28
thinking they’re gonna win forever cuz
88:32
statistically that’s not what happens
88:35
stop now if
88:41
I was the head of the Senate if I was
88:44
the GOP head of the Senate come November
88:49
of 2020 I would put the nuclear option
88:52
back in just in case I was out like I
88:57
would take it away I’d be nope you need
88:59
60 votes now I would put it back get
89:03
like 200 judges confirmed and then just
89:05
be like you know what no one needs this
89:07
much raw power I would do that and then
89:11
if we’re I would do that I would even
89:15
think about it I would do that so fast
89:18
and then if they win again be like we
89:23
need this power but why you’ve got
89:26
people you’ve got 200 judges that’s the
89:28
thing that’s there’s a good chance you
89:31
don’t need to appoint anybody else it’s
89:35
great it’s I knew he had put in a lot of
89:38
job I knew two things I knew that even
89:40
since the Bush years they were
89:42
complaining about the backlog of of
89:44
empty judge seats judicial seats and
89:46
that that had continued into the Obama
89:49
years through attrition as more and more
89:50
judges either died or retired or cycled
89:53
up or whatever recited to run for office
89:55
or whatever they did went back in the
89:57
private sector that it was just more and
90:00
more empty seats and it was creating a
90:03
backlog in cases and everything and I
90:05
thought someone’s gonna get a hold of
90:08
this but I I so I knew he had gotten a
90:10
lot of judges and I didn’t know was a
90:11
hundred and fifty that’s a lot of 1950
90:15
by before the August recess so federal
90:19
judges and it is for the lot of their
90:23
federal some of them are district but
90:26
but there’s still federal though they’re
90:28
federal districts for yeah yeah yeah no
90:30
they’re not Supreme Court judges or
90:32
whatever but they’re they’re obviously
90:34
they’re they’re federal districts
90:35
representing specific groups of states
90:37
or whatever um I mean he has the ability
90:39
to change the Ninth Circuit which is
90:44
it’s one of them Oh has it it’s already
90:49
started happening like they the Ninth
90:50
Circuit recently ruled
90:54
that California’s gun control laws are
90:57
unconstitutional oh yeah big stuff
91:04
happening that was one of the the the
91:07
things that people said about Donald
91:10
Trump is you know but the Supreme Court
91:11
in the federal courts and to his credit
91:13
to his supporters he’s pretty much
91:15
rubber rubber stamped and cocaine
91:18
Mitch’s rubber stamped anything that
91:20
federalist society puts in front of him
91:22
for a list of judges so if you’re a
91:24
conservative there’s something you can
91:26
be unambiguously happy about and then
91:28
just not worry about like the deficits
91:30
in the gun control and right and I’m not
91:36
gonna say he’s good at like four D under
91:39
water but he’s really good at directing
91:46
a conversation oh yeah very good that’s
91:50
what he does yeah yeah and I think a lot
91:54
of his rhetoric is to keep people
91:56
looking one way as opposed to another
91:58
and I think that there he knew what he
92:02
was doing with this he knew he was
92:04
changing the judiciary forever but he
92:10
kept focusing on everything stupid crap
92:13
yeah don’t look at that let’s look at
92:16
this stuff over here and when in a week
92:18
in a week where he got 13 judges was the
92:25
week where everybody was talking about a
92:26
tweet that he sent out saying is he
92:29
racist it’s pretty pretty I mean it it
92:36
works for him you’ll see the left and
92:39
they’ll say we’ve got to let we’ve got
92:41
to stop letting Donald Trump control
92:43
everything and control the conversation
92:44
and he will tweet one thing mm-hm and
92:47
those very same people will go back to
92:50
saying we have to talk endlessly about
92:53
this Trump tweet right it’s pretty
92:59
incredible how he’s able to do that
93:01
aye-aye-aye
93:04
that’s what he does that’s what he’s
93:05
good at is
93:07
during out how people directing the
93:09
conversation and figuring out how people
93:11
are gonna respond to it and it’s how he
93:14
became president and it’s how he’s
93:16
probably gonna get reelected and it’s
93:21
how he just got 150 judges Maria Eden
93:24
beau says he jingles Keys and does what
93:26
he wants he does he’s like pretty much
93:27
like the entire rest of the world are a
93:29
bunch of kids and he’s just like yeah
93:32
confirm those judges look at these keys
93:36
never goes Trump’s keys are racist and
93:39
and cuz they’re not my sir it’s black so
93:44
I mean right but yes this Wow everything
93:51
that happened in El Paso and Gilroy and
93:54
Dayton our absolute tragedies this most
93:59
important story of the week
94:01
he changed the face of America for
94:05
generations yeah in two and a half years
94:08
and no one talked about it there’s a
94:12
good chance this is the first time
94:15
you’re hearing about it is from what you
94:17
guys heard about it
94:20
but Reynolds personal injury attorney
94:24
Chris Reynolds attorney at law is an
94:26
attorney at law
94:27
who does personal injury right the only
94:31
reason I heard about it is because
94:33
another lawyer friend of mine shared it
94:36
on his page and it said you won’t
94:39
believe what mitch mcconnell’s been
94:41
doing during the debates and i said well
94:42
i wonder what that is because my hope
94:43
was cocaine okay it wasn’t cool it was
94:48
not cocaine it was and I read that
94:51
article and I said I don’t know if I
94:53
understood that so I read it again and
94:56
then I said that can’t be right so I
94:58
read it another time and then I sent it
95:00
to spike and then I read it twice more
95:03
so you read it five times five times not
95:07
including what I read today when I was
95:08
doing the notes you’ve read it six times
95:12
yeah good job
95:16
so I had read something about it where
95:18
they were like during the debate she
95:20
wouldn’t believe what’s happened and I
95:21
read that I’m like oh and then when the
95:23
shooting happened
95:24
we’ve just been so enveloped with the
95:26
shooting and it’s you know the
95:31
conspiracy theorist will say well you
95:32
know the shooting was to cover up for
95:34
the and it’s not that that it wasn’t but
95:37
the to me that the guy in the White
95:42
House right now is really really really
95:45
good at one thing he’s good a couple
95:47
things the thing he’s really good at
95:49
politically is directing the
95:52
conversation since June of 2015
95:56
this man has completely controlled every
96:01
aspect of not just the national
96:03
conversation but the international
96:05
political conversation has been
96:09
completely directed by Donald Trump and
96:16
it has worked for him unbelievably well
96:21
I when I remember was that Lindsey
96:27
Graham’s phone number he gave out yes
96:29
when he and gave out Lindsey Graham’s
96:31
phone number I thought that was
96:35
hilarious
96:36
that was so funny and I remember making
96:41
a status update and I said you know
96:43
you’re not going to be in this campaign
96:46
for long but man I hope you’re
96:48
entertaining the entire time you’re in
96:50
it we were right about half of them I
96:52
was right about half of that it’s it’s
96:58
it’s absolutely incredible he’s the most
97:01
or I would I’ll say anyway it’s our I
97:04
mean you could argue with but he’s
97:05
certainly in the running he’s one of the
97:07
most entertaining people on the planet
97:09
right now
97:09
and he’s also he’s also the most
97:14
powerful arguably and he which says a
97:19
lot about you know people talk about
97:21
protecting our civilization our
97:22
civilization is a joke everything is
97:25
reboots now and Donald Trump’s the most
97:27
a guy like the original reality
97:30
show host is your the original reality
97:32
show person was he was doing reality TV
97:36
in the 80s when there was no such thing
97:37
he’s the most entertaining person in the
97:40
world he also just completely reshaped
97:41
the judiciary with the help of one
97:43
cocaine Mitch McConnell and Barack Obama
97:47
and and Barack Obama yeah yeah and and a
97:50
lot of people with hubris a lot of
97:52
people with hubris a lot of leaf or see
97:54
people president lots of hubris
97:57
oh oh so at some point there will be a
98:03
fall at some point there were more than
98:06
likely be a fall and it will be you
98:09
think he’s been entertaining now a small
98:13
taste of the entertainment that will
98:15
come from if and when Donald Trump Falls
98:17
whether it’s through not getting
98:19
reelected or being indicted after he’s
98:22
president or whatever the way he acted
98:26
after Barack Obama beat Mitt Romney in
98:31
like the 24 to 48 hours after that it’s
98:34
just a little taste of what is awaiting
98:38
whenever that happens which at this
98:41
point I’m not banking on it he might die
98:44
before that happens but if it does
98:46
happen
98:49
or Eric trump act that way you get to
98:52
watch some serious seriously seriously
98:56
hilarious meltdowns
98:58
yeah it’s gonna be if he does have a
99:02
fall in his lifetime it’s going to be
99:05
Charlie Sheen level Charlie Sheen if he
99:10
had access to the nuclear codes
99:13
yeah Charlie Sheen would watch this
99:16
meltdown and go I’m glad that I reined
99:19
it in gotta tone it back I wonder if
99:23
this guy is using drugs Charlie would
99:25
say so we’re taking too much of that
99:28
