05:05
without any further ado my fellow
05:07
Americans please welcome to the show mr.
05:09
Marcus Mathews Marcus thank you so much
05:11
for joining us thank you for having me
05:14
it’s a pleasure to be here you are
05:18
hilarious I’ve been looking forward to
05:19
this all weekend guys be sure to comment
05:21
with your questions and thoughts and
05:22
Marcus and I will tell you if you are
05:25
right or wrong now Marcus this is your
05:27
first time on the show and the first
05:29
thing I always ask my guests is to tell
05:32
me how you would describe your your
05:34
beliefs I guess your political beliefs
05:35
and then I guess tell me a little story
05:37
a ditty tell me you did e about how you
05:40
came to those beliefs was it like an aha
05:42
moment or kind of a gradual evolution
05:44
tell us your political ditty well
05:48
basically I believed in the harm and the
05:51
do no harm principle where you don’t do
05:54
any harm to anybody’s person or property
05:57
okay how I came to that is has been
06:00
indeed been an evolution because I grew
06:03
up with parents that live that Jim Crow
06:07
seeing that people see in black and
06:09
white with the water hoses and the dogs
06:12
and all that shit
06:13
right I’ve seen all of that through the
06:17
stories that my parents have told me and
06:19
I’ve always believed in social justice
06:21
because of that because I feel like
06:24
everybody should be treated equally
06:26
under the law
06:27
right and so within that I noticed that
06:33
there was a lot of inequity
06:35
in our society and you know you could
06:39
look at it as from a racial point of
06:42
view which I don’t I look at it from a
06:45
power structure point of view because
06:47
I’m a pre Bacon’s Rebellion American
06:52
okay I understand that this country
06:57
originally wasn’t divided along racial
07:00
lines it was divided along economic
07:03
lines and we have gone to the extreme in
07:07
that over the last 35 40 years as far as
07:10
economics goes so my core beliefs
07:14
wrapped around the fact that I happen to
07:18
love firearms and shooting sports and
07:21
all that my core beliefs are just
07:23
basically Live Free or Die why should we
07:26
have this overbearing government when
07:28
that was what was never intended in the
07:31
founding of this country right that’s me
07:33
nutshell very good and so that almost
07:37
sounds more like because I depending on
07:40
different things you said I thought well
07:42
I’m not sure if he’s more of a
07:43
constitutionalist or libertarian there
07:46
are some things you said that it sounded
07:47
almost kind of anarchists tee do you not
07:49
really label it one way or the other or
07:50
or do you do you see yourself as one of
07:53
them one of those things more than the
07:54
others okay so I first voted in like 98
08:02
I believe it was okay and I was a
08:05
registered Democrat and then by the mid
08:10
early early mid-2000s
08:12
I was like what the hell am i doing as
08:14
far as my political preference right
08:17
right immediately went independent from
08:21
independent I went libertarian and from
08:24
libertarian I kind of went I don’t want
08:28
to say anarchists a suitable anarchist
08:31
and now I’m like government is all that
08:34
is bad ever right right right
08:37
and and that proves itself through
08:39
history and you know then that’s what
08:42
this country is doing is trying to have
08:44
a monolithic government of one party and
08:46
there is no point in history where you
08:48
could
08:48
to me point out and say to me that that
08:52
worked so that’s why I’m kind of I
08:55
understand the need for government but I
08:57
just think it needs to be reinvented
09:00
right now right yeah so we are opposed
09:04
to using the word anarchist on the show
09:05
I actually am an anarchist I started as
09:08
kind of a neocon you know Republican who
09:11
wanted to go to war with you know
09:13
everyone and over time I sort of became
09:15
more of a constitutionalist and the more
09:17
time I spent on I was kind of like you
09:18
I’m like government’s bad all
09:20
government’s bad you’re centralizing
09:23
power it’s it’s essentially a monopoly
09:26
on force that uses violence and theft to
09:29
impose itself on everyone and the idea
09:32
that we’re gonna get any kind of you
09:33
know good services from something from
09:35
an arrangement like that it’s kind of
09:36
foolish so but I definitely agree I mean
09:39
there’s no there’s no point of history
09:41
in this country or any other where
09:43
consolidation of power into one group is
09:46
a good thing like that that never
09:48
actually ends well remember right so
09:52
then so what made you decide to start
09:55
the other black guy who likes gun show
09:57
you started that what about two years
09:58
ago three years ago yeah I was in 2017 I
10:02
think March of 2017 and it actually came
10:05
out of gun tribe and this was a group of
10:09
like-minded individuals that you know
10:11
well I’d only want to say we’re like my
10:13
because we fight literally all the time
10:15
that’s kind of why it doesn’t exist in
10:17
its proper form
10:19
aside from Facebook censorship but we
10:23
all have a core belief in Liberty you
10:26
know there will always be cultural
10:28
differences between different groups of
10:30
people that can cause I don’t want to
10:33
say animosity but conflict and it
10:36
necessarily does it I’m not talking
10:38
about like violent conflict I’m talking
10:40
my more intellectual conflict because at
10:43
the core of what we all believe is
10:46
Liberty and my page spawned out a
10:51
gunship and after it’s originally split
10:54
up and spin it off into two different
10:56
you know there’s a I’m not using there
10:59
was Demetri Paul Chris
11:02
Mack’s a whole bunch of guys that were
11:05
and it got pretty big it wasn’t almost a
11:09
hundred seven thousand followers and
11:11
whatnot and when that split up uh I’m
11:15
always I’ve always been an independent
11:17
minded person so I was like you know I
11:19
fuckin I’m just gonna go ahead and make
11:20
my own thing and you know hopefully and
11:23
we’ve been talking about hopefully we
11:25
could come back together because I
11:27
believe we were like a libertine minded
11:29
looting and I mean that because we had
11:31
all these different personalities that
11:33
drive you all kinds of different angles
11:35
but at the end of the day it always came
11:38
back to the core of the subject matter
11:40
which is no government live free right
11:45
and like wu-tang it kind of fell apart
11:47
because of personality clashes correct
11:50
kind of comes with the territory right
11:53
so that’s truly so what would you say
11:56
was your I mean obviously you’re talking
11:58
about guns a lot but what is the main
12:00
core message that you wanted to share
12:02
when you decide to break off and do your
12:04
own thing
12:05
my main core message is absolute liberty
12:08
and with that being said I want people
12:11
to understand that this is a republic
12:13
and they hold the power right now what
12:17
we what we see today is a is a diversion
12:21
from what this country was meant to be
12:25
into this massive conglomerate of
12:30
bullshit that’s that’s making our fellow
12:35
Americans worship the government life as
12:38
if the government is omnipotent like
12:40
they can do no wrong and my core belief
12:44
is the government should fear us right
12:47
right and in that we hold the power and
12:51
we give them the we give them the
12:55
Liberty to to do our business as for the
12:59
common good which is very it should be
13:02
very limited in scope and that’s what my
13:06
main focus is it’s it’s bringing the
13:10
Constitution to life into common sense
13:13
in colorful terms
13:15
and with a slight comedic value but I’m
13:18
always dead serious and what I say and
13:23
there’s no threats
13:25
there’s no threats of violence there’s
13:27
nothing like that I’m not trying to
13:28
overthrow the government
13:29
all right so Kramer glass tree but what
13:32
I’m trying to say is when you look at
13:35
your government you should have certain
13:37
expectations and if those expectations
13:39
aren’t met
13:41
then you need to flex your muscle and
13:44
that doesn’t mean you know taking this
13:49
bowl of diarrhea soup next to your shit
13:52
sandwich and interchanging them to see
13:54
which one you’re gonna eat first right
13:56
right and it’s it’s difficult right
13:58
because you know I’m used to people on
14:02
the left
14:02
you know progressives and liberals that
14:05
are talking about you know the common
14:09
good but not meaning the common good is
14:10
in who we choose to associate with but
14:12
the common good is in all 325 million
14:14
Americans as decided by an overbearing
14:17
government or talking about how you know
14:20
we need to be you know told what things
14:23
we can and can’t do to you know to keep
14:25
us safe or or to you know to keep us
14:28
protected or whatever or that you know
14:29
no one needs guns like that but I’m
14:31
increasingly seeing that coming from
14:34
conservatives or I guess rather
14:35
Republicans as well and it’s not the
14:39
first time that’s happened but it’s
14:42
kinda mean correct me if I’m wrong but
14:44
to me I’m disconcerted to watch people
14:47
who usually will talk about the Second
14:49
Amendment and how important it is and
14:50
how it’s used to fight against tyranny
14:52
and then you know the second it’s a
14:55
Republican saying you know we’re gonna
14:56
take your guns without due process and
14:58
you know you probably shouldn’t have a
14:59
gun like that and you definitely don’t
15:01
need a bump stock even though bump
15:02
stocks are garbage but the fact that
15:04
they’re even telling you you you
15:05
shouldn’t have one or a silencer or a
15:07
suppressor or whatever all of a sudden
15:09
now that it’s a Republican doing it
15:10
they’re like oh no well that’s a fun
15:12
he’s trying to keep us safe
15:13
yeah well as you may know I live behind
15:18
enemy lines when you talk about right
15:21
right right and we just had a couple bad
15:25
anti Second Amendment
15:28
measures in 2016 that passed with 63
15:32
there was two of them the main ones I’m
15:34
talking about passed with 63 and 65
15:37
percent of the vote right California
15:41
surprisingly enough people may be
15:42
shocked by this only about 35 percent of
15:45
Californians registered are registered
15:49
Democrats right and there’s about 25
15:52
percent Republican and the rest which is
15:57
a sizable portion of registered
15:59
independents now taking those two
16:03
numbers we know that a sizable portion
16:06
of Republicans voted for those anti to a
16:09
measures which was getting rhythm
16:12
because you could still own a 30-round
16:14
the standard capacity magazine in
16:16
California if you had bought it before
16:18
the year 2000 but they went back and
16:21
said those grandfather’s of night those
16:24
grandfathered magazines are now illegal
16:27
and that was like 63% of Californians
16:31
voted in favor of that right then the
16:35
second one was about the assault another
16:37
assault weapons ban and about 65% of
16:40
Californians voted for that so we have a
16:42
sizable portion of Republicans vote for
16:46
those anti to a measures and with that
16:49
it is clear that there is no defining
16:55
trait between the two parties when it
16:58
comes to the Second Amendment that I
17:00
could point to and say those guys are a
17:02
pro Second Amendment because they’re
17:05
just not you’ve seen it from highest
17:07
echelons of our government currently all
17:09
the way down where they’re coming up in
17:11
favor of red flag laws right you know
17:14
and and then they sit here complaining
17:16
about people making salacious comments
17:18
about them that will trigger such red
17:22
flag laws for the person involved and I
17:26
that is sounds like you’re a recipe for
17:28
abuse oh of course I’m not yeah so you
17:33
know when it comes to Democrat and
17:35
Republican in there I really don’t see
17:37
an astounding difference between either
17:39
brand
17:40
whereas I would put my trust in the
17:44
Second Amendment with either one of them
17:46
because they’re gonna go where the wind
17:47
blows no absolutely I used to say
17:50
there’s no difference between Republican
17:52
politicians and Democrat politicians and
17:54
for the most part I still I still agree
17:56
with that I now say there’s not much
17:58
difference between Republican voters and
18:00
Democrat voters when I saw um what’s
18:03
that Schmucks name um there’s a lot of
18:06
smokes out there no I know I know that’s
18:08
why it that’s why it’s not helping um no
18:13
he’s definitely um Cuomo Chris Cuomo
18:16
when he was so when he was saying I’m
18:19
gonna throw you down the stairs because
18:20
the guy was calling him frito or
18:21
whatever listen I mean it wasn’t his
18:25
best moment but also like if I’m with my
18:27
family and kids and someone’s giving me
18:29
a hard time I’m not sure I’m gonna
18:30
threatened to throw him down the stairs
18:31
but I actually kind of respected that he
18:33
did that all that day what and whether
18:37
you did or not the sheer number of
18:40
Republicans including the president who
18:41
either suggested or outright said yeah
18:43
he should be red-flagged and not allowed
18:45
to own weapons and I’m like how quick
18:47
are you to give up everything to the
18:51
state because like someone said
18:54
something mean like for the group of
18:56
people that’s constantly talking about
18:57
triggered snowflakes you sure often got
19:00
triggered awful fast
19:02
by a guy who you know showed a little
19:04
testosterone when he was being
19:06
challenged in front of his kids yeah
19:09
that was the moment because I’m not a
19:12
big chris cuomo family and i flip
19:14
between the channels the the main media
19:17
channels for entertainment value area
19:20
research stuff like that not seen before
19:23
and i’ve seen them get testy but when he
19:26
actually did that I gotta be honest I
19:28
was like he netted up pretty hard on
19:30
that dude I thought it was about to come
19:32
to blows
19:33
I really wasn’t backing down and at the
19:36
end of the day the only thing that that
19:39
motivates me to to maintain the Second
19:44
Amendment and the rest of the
19:46
Constitution as well is the people that
19:48
I’m gonna expect me behind me which is
19:50
my family now are you always
19:54
mentioned this fact or two people will
19:56
say well why do you need this why do you
19:58
need that remember Hurricane Katrina oh
20:02
yeah oh yeah so the government had a
20:06
two-week warning that Hurricane Katrina
20:08
was coming right and the governmental
20:13
response to that disaster I mean you
20:17
couldn’t rate it more than a d-minus and
20:19
in probably an F right oh it’s terrible
20:23
yeah so the city of New Orleans at the
20:26
time we had the same population base as
20:28
the city of Long Beach out here in
20:31
Southern California which is a there’s
20:32
like 380 some thousand people or
20:35
whatever and 85% of those people got out
20:39
of Dodge I’m horrible with math so I
20:42
don’t know how many people were left but
20:43
that’s it’s still a kind of a shit ton
20:45
of people
20:45
right right tens of thousands of people
20:47
were still there yeah so with the with
20:50
the warning and the ability to stage
20:54
materials and whatnot and to bring in
20:56
relief as only the United States can’t
20:59
the governmental response to that was
21:02
piss-poor now my area the the four
21:06
County area Los Angeles San Bernardino
21:09
Riverside and Orange County is roughly
21:11
15 million people we’re not going to get
21:15
any type of warning whatsoever when our
21:18
big earthquake hits us and knocks down
21:20
more than half the buildings prices for
21:22
tremendous damage to the infrastructure
21:25
people won’t be able to get around move
21:27
or anything like that whereas they gonna
21:30
come and protect my family for an
21:32
extended period of time – martial law
21:36
with no warning when they could even do
21:38
a half-ass job less than a half-ass job
21:40
in New Orleans with old with days of
21:43
forewarning I live in a hurricane area
21:46
they know days ahead of time days for
21:49
certain I mean they know weeks at a time
21:52
that it might hit you and they know
21:53
pretty much at least three or four days
21:55
ahead of time that it’s absolutely gonna
21:57
at least graze you and and and the way
22:01
that they handled that as this thing
22:02
came straight at them it slow in slow mo
22:05
without ever veering like
22:07
said they all and all they could do was
22:09
I remember that the you know the
22:11
National Guard came in and just started
22:13
seizing everyone’s guns which then led
22:15
to more looting because now they knew
22:16
what no one had any guns precisely and
22:19
then you know I’m looking at it like
22:22
this
22:23
I’m a bit of a I’m not a I wouldn’t call
22:26
myself a prepper I’m more of a urban
22:28
prepper because I’m real prepper would
22:30
be able to might get to the woods or be
22:34
in the woods relatively quickly and my
22:36
words are probably impossible to get to
22:38
considering I’d have to go through fifty
22:41
thousand people to get to where I would
22:44
be out I’m a more of an urban area right
22:48
for me to can like sit back and consider
22:52
okay what if the government does do
22:53
martial law nobody on the streets what’s
22:56
the stop homies from jumping the fences
22:58
from house to house out of the view of
23:02
the law enforcement and and then even
23:05
with the law enforcement they’re gonna
23:07
be protecting the limited supplies that
23:10
are gonna be locally in every
23:12
jurisdiction of course that’s what your
23:14
mass is gonna be so for them like
23:19
deliver our safety like we’re taking
23:22
your safety from you I just don’t
23:24
believe in that shit in the best of
23:26
conditions they can’t keep you safe I
23:28
mean you know I I’m not an expert in
23:31
crime and in in you know LA but I I know
23:35
that you know there are some crime
23:36
issues there and other places Chicago
23:39
New Orleans is another one there are
23:40
parts of you know Myrtle Beach that are
23:42
sketchy like they they can’t keep us
23:44
safe when it’s you know partly cloudy
23:46
out so what what’s it how are they gonna
23:48
do that when there’s you know hurricanes
23:49
and everything else so no I I agree with
23:51
you hundred percent and of course
23:52
obviously the the purpose of the right
23:56
to keep and bear arms is not just home
23:59
defense against you know private sector
24:01
people it’s you know and you have to be
24:03
careful how you talk about this but
24:05
ultimately it’s to keep anyone who would
24:08
try to harm you in check and that’s
24:10
another thing about you know with
24:12
conservatives that it’s like you know
24:14
progressives will get that the state is
24:16
you know the biggest abuser of people
24:19
out there but then they want the state
24:20
to grow bigger
24:21
you know conservatives tend to talk
24:23
about fighting against tyranny but then
24:25
when you give them actual examples I
24:27
mean I saw some conservatives that were
24:28
out here the last couple weeks defending
24:31
a cop who broke into someone else’s
24:33
apartment and shot him while he ate ice
24:36
cream and they’re like yeah but you know
24:38
she had a long day I’m like you would
24:40
never if this had been and I’ll say it
24:43
this has been a black guy going into a
24:45
white cops house and go oh I’m in the
24:46
wrong hat oh I think this is my house
24:48
I’m gonna shoot this white woman they
24:49
would have never been okay with that but
24:51
make it a cop and a immigrant and and
24:55
now suddenly it’s a bat and now it’s
24:56
suddenly they’re defending literally a
24:58
cop busting into someone’s house and
25:00
killing them how could you play as so
25:03
you how could you pledge allegiance to
25:07
this country and at the same time allow
25:12
the government to kill a citizen in cold
25:14
blood and be okay with that how could
25:18
you be okay with your your government
25:20
killing a fellow citizen you know died
25:22
by all accounts there was not one
25:25
deviation from this man’s character that
25:30
he had any kind of ill no no no in our
25:36
society that he did anything wrong now
25:38
originally they tried to say yeah we
25:40
either something yeah like okay I was
25:43
like here we go yep but I was um you
25:47
know in they brought down the the
25:49
verdict and the sentencing in the last
25:52
24 hours
25:53
yeah yeah there’s all I was shocked as
25:56
hell that they got on a murder I thought
25:58
for sure it would be manslaughter
26:00
involuntary manslaughter or negligent
26:03
homicide yep but for her to get ten
26:07
years mind you my understanding but I’ve
26:11
read differently but that my current
26:13
understanding is on murder there is no
26:15
possibility of parole
26:16
so if she does does that 10-year strong
26:19
it’s gonna be held in her because her
26:21
chosen profession when she gets in there
26:24
she’ll have to be in probably protective
26:27
custody from day no and yeah I would
26:29
think so ten years because you were
26:33
tired
26:35
and you’re sitting here sexting your
26:37
your partner right you know I always say
26:41
that you know there’s some female cops
26:45
you could look at I call them pass
26:46
around cuz I have friends that are in
26:49
law enforcement and there’s these
26:52
certain female cops that absolutely
26:57
adore the company of their fellow
26:59
officers off duty and sometimes on duty
27:02
and she was a classic example of one of
27:06
those female cops that you know morally
27:10
is quite questionable but for her excuse
27:15
and and whatnot and for them to try to
27:17
justify this murder of a United States
27:19
citizen yeah in cold blood and
27:24
misrepresent the facts because they’re
27:26
trying to say he charged at her was
27:29
coming towards her when the trajectory
27:31
of the bullet that went into his heart
27:33
was a downward trajectory
27:35
he was six-foot she was 5 3 that had to
27:38
be some Naraku Hooten no other that the
27:42
enemy type of deal where she jumped up
27:44
and shot himself a god oh yeah yeah yeah
27:47
yeah no he obviously was sitting down
27:49
and I and and or crouched down and the
27:52
whole I mean so the thing with so
27:54
watching people who will talk about
27:56
fighting tyranny and then they
27:58
worshipped the police they’ll say
28:00
something they’ll trip me out they’ll
28:01
say something like dude see Pelosi I’ve
28:02
got something for you if you come to
28:04
take my guns and I’m like Nancy Pelosi
28:06
isn’t leaving her house baito Roark who
28:09
I cannot stand is not leaving his like
28:13
you know freaking you know soccer mom
28:16
van or whatever he drives around like
28:17
he’s not they’re not coming anywhere
28:19
near you it’s the police that you
28:21
worship who were gonna be the ones
28:22
kicking down your door and fully
28:24
expecting you to comply you know we’ve
28:26
already seen in in in Maryland and
28:29
another something like 11 people have
28:31
already gotten killed enforcing these
28:32
red flag laws so it’s one thing to say
28:35
oh you know give give you know cops a
28:37
chance I’m not against the police or
28:39
whatever but you can’t constantly give
28:41
them a benefit of the doubt when they’re
28:43
the ones whose job it is all the stuff
28:44
you hate about government every
28:46
politician you absolutely hate
28:48
would be completely powerless and
28:50
toothless if there weren’t people who
28:52
were enforcing their laws against you
28:55
using whatever level of force is
28:57
necessary to bring you into compliance
28:59
and that’s just a sad reality of the
29:03
conservative movement is that they
29:06
literally think it’s gonna be somebody
29:09
else it’s gonna be these sweet
29:14
latte-drinking hippy type guys are gonna
29:18
come up come to the house right right
29:20
here guns yeah you know and it’s a real
29:24
sad reality that they’re so blinded you
29:28
know they they literally call us the
29:30
Sheep they’re the sheepdogs
29:32
and everybody’s bad is the wolf yeah
29:35
they literally call us sheep and not
29:39
only conservatives but liberals just
29:43
fall right into the flock and say there
29:45
are protect us now my dad was a cop for
29:49
a little bit of a time literally my best
29:52
friend’s a cop and I have tons of cop
29:53
friends from my coaching circles and
29:56
whatnot there’s one constant when people
29:59
say cops protect you you have to call
30:03
them and once you call them it’s usually
30:06
after you’ve already been assaulted or
30:09
robbed or right right right
30:11
oh whatever so how did they protect you
30:14
I don’t know one person on this on God’s
30:17
green earth that is gotten their
30:19
property back after it was stolen out of
30:22
their car or home when you’ve gotten
30:24
assaulted by somebody who mugged you on
30:27
the streets you don’t get your property
30:31
back 80% of the time right well for this
30:35
worshipping there is a necessity for law
30:39
enforcement
30:39
I firmly believe that but I also believe
30:43
that government is the creator of crime
30:45
you know a classic example is that as
30:48
the drug war if you impact the prison
30:51
all the prison’s of everybody who was in
30:54
there for drug crimes it was some would
30:57
be like somewhere between 60 and 75
30:59
percent of the entire prison population
31:02
in this country yeah and if it was a
31:05
simple possession what harm has come to
31:09
anybody that you could prove to justify
31:13
the sentencing of somebody who willfully
31:16
wishes to ingest whatever their choice
31:19
in chosen inoculate is so that’s right
31:25
right whatever we want to whatever they
31:27
want to toast off to what’s the
31:29
advantage you don’t cross that line once
31:31
you cross on line you know it’s a
31:32
different set of circumstances but if
31:34
you’re a peacefully injecting or
31:36
ingesting whatever drug you choose why
31:40
is they any of mine or your concern
31:41
right exactly exactly and the thing is
31:44
you know especially in the future when
31:47
you know weeds gonna be legal very soon
31:49
and and we’ll probably end up seeing you
31:52
know like that like they’re doing in
31:53
Europe where they’re decriminalizing
31:54
most or all drugs and that would be
31:56
that’ll be great
31:57
but at the same time you’ll have to talk
31:59
to people who had most or you know large
32:03
parts of their lives stolen from them
32:06
put in cages because they were engaging
32:09
in commerce that was I mean forget the
32:12
fact that you have the CIA bringing the
32:14
drugs in and and the US military
32:16
protecting poppy fields in Afghanistan
32:18
putting all that aside you have people
32:20
that engaged in voluntary commerce who
32:23
had their lives destroyed and it’s
32:25
probably gonna to being legal in the
32:26
future anyway so the whole thing is is
32:29
absolutely ridiculous but you know
32:32
Minerva Tufts to me seem like they’re
32:35
constantly you know progressives are
32:37
constantly progressing forward how much
32:39
more they want the government to have
32:41
but conservatives seem to at the same
32:43
time constantly moving their goalposts –
32:45
it’s like conservatives will draw a line
32:47
in the sand and say don’t you dare cross
32:49
this line progressives will immediately
32:51
cross that line and then conservatives
32:53
will step out ahead of them and cross a
32:55
new line ago don’t you dare cross this
32:56
line and it’s like whatever
32:58
conservatives were fighting against 15
33:01
20 years ago they’re now fighting to
33:03
preserve for future generations Social
33:06
Security Medicare even a lot of them now
33:09
you know are talking about how you know
33:10
we need to have stricter you know
33:12
immigration restrictions that we can
33:14
preserve the welfare system
33:16
for future generations I’m like I
33:17
thought you were against all this like
33:19
what what when did you become in favor
33:21
of gun control and welfare and and you
33:24
know the government having control of
33:26
all these different things and the
33:28
Federal Reserve and everything else it’s
33:29
like they’re constantly progressing –
33:32
yeah well it’s the I think it partially
33:36
that is the the 9/11 effect where the
33:39
government portrayed itself as your only
33:42
buffer between these guys that ride
33:47
magic carpets and this basic safety your
33:52
safety what I mean because now we throw
33:57
around the term hero as a deity and you
34:03
automatically get hero status by signing
34:07
your name on a paper to throw away your
34:10
particular constitutional rights and
34:11
liberties to serve the government and no
34:14
matter what you see whether it be law
34:15
enforcement of military whatever
34:17
otherwise right right now we
34:19
automatically consider them heroes like
34:21
after I remember after the El Paso
34:23
shooting everybody’s like we need to
34:25
praise the heroes that showed up and and
34:28
capture that guy who actually stops
34:30
shooting already call 911 and surrender
34:33
we need to praise them for their
34:35
response and I was like first of all the
34:39
the first response has to come from you
34:41
because ultimately you’re in charge of
34:44
your safety these people need to Pat
34:46
them on the back but they don’t want to
34:49
be held responsible for anything dislike
34:52
that that parent that sued that parkland
34:54
the Parkman’s Sheriff for running out of
34:58
the school when and was and the court
35:02
reaffirmed that Supreme Court decision
35:03
where they have no duty to protect you
35:07
right yet they want to disarm you they
35:10
want you to follow these guidelines and
35:13
rules but if somebody else decides to
35:16
stray outside of these civil norms so to
35:20
speak you’re on your own until we get
35:24
there and then from that point forward
35:26
we have no further responsibility
35:29
to you or your family but you know what
35:32
you don’t need to own that particular
35:33
type of firearm that I’m carrying to
35:36
protect you if I show up in time
35:41
ya know exactly exactly and and and we
35:45
are our own first responders it’s one
35:47
thing to say man you know these
35:49
firefighters that you know ran into the
35:51
burning buildings on 9/11 or any other
35:53
design absolutely are they heroes
35:55
absolutely it’s another thing to say any
35:57
person who was a part of law enforcement
35:59
the military firefighters did if you
36:02
work in the government you’re all heroes
36:04
all of you were heroes just an automatic
36:08
hero I had a friend who was in the
36:10
military who had served in the military
36:12
during Iraq and and they were like
36:14
people would say oh thank you for your
36:15
service you’re such a hero and he’d say
36:16
I mostly taught dance lessons like you
36:19
know like I I we weren’t really doing
36:21
much there and and so I would teach
36:24
Latin dance lessons and they were and
36:26
they would still be like yeah but you
36:27
were teaching it to our heroes oh my
36:28
keep it’s a dance instructor like and
36:30
there’s nothing wrong with being a dance
36:32
instructor but that’s not exactly hero
36:33
status necessarily I’m gonna go through
36:36
some of these comments cuz we have a lot
36:38
of them sweet so a lot of questions
36:42
about Maj Toure so we’ll get to that in
36:43
a minute
36:45
someone said when the president Hampi
36:47
aunt said when the president is a
36:49
Republican everybody’s a raging liberal
36:51
Nick Perez said shouts out from the bay
36:54
area what’s that I said the hyphy
37:01
movement Bay Area yeah area homie so Y
37:08
it’s raid writer was talking about the
37:11
sentencing said ten years was not nearly
37:13
enough especially when there are those
37:14
doing life for nonviolent offenses
37:16
exactly Chris Reynolds personal injury
37:19
attorney Chris Reynolds attorney at law
37:20
says beta will work will jump on your
37:22
dining room table
37:25
yeah but then yeah he jumps on your
37:27
table but he crouches down so that he
37:29
looks you know he’s at your level which
37:31
why did you get on the table Michael R
37:34
it says red flag laws also put the
37:36
officers lives whom these people worship
37:38
in danger that’s true
37:40
y it’s writer says
37:43
there may be a need for law enforcement
37:45
but there’s no reason we can’t privatize
37:46
it yes yes um let’s see and then a bunch
37:51
of yeses Oh Chris Reynolds says most
37:54
Trump Republicans aren’t conservatives
37:56
by definition they’re authoritarian
37:58
moderate and sometimes liberals yeah
38:00
except the the the term conservative
38:03
they seem keep moving the goalposts like
38:06
a conservative 100 years ago would be
38:08
called an anarchist now so I’m not I’m
38:11
not anyway Michael R it says I fix
38:13
trucks at Fort Bragg’s for four years
38:15
I’m a veteran Hero
38:16
thank you for your heroic veteran
38:18
service of fixing trucks Michael um so
38:22
so Marcus where we go okay so as I had
38:27
mentioned before you aren’t just a an
38:31
insightful political pundit you’re also
38:33
a very talented singer
38:34
let’s hear some let’s let’s let’s let’s
38:38
hear some of that right now all the
38:40
boats on the plane they come into
38:44
America never looking back again they
38:51
come into America
39:37
tasty
39:52
legal counsel Arkansas
40:25
bye-bye move on captain Marcus how
40:33
cheated you know how cheated do you feel
40:36
by the recording industry that you are a
40:38
platinum-selling artist you know you
40:40
know it’s interesting because in my 20s
40:46
I was in a hip-hop band and I bullshit
40:49
you not we came about that close to
40:51
getting signed by a delicious vinyl oh
40:53
wow and I actually have been informed
40:57
for crowds of over 5,000 people I’ve
41:01
opened for wu-tang the roots there’s a
41:07
there’s a few other guys I’m not here
41:09
kissing by his ass or shotcalling
41:11
whatever but like it’s always been a
41:14
passion of mine to entertain the people
41:19
and for me not being recognized for my
41:23
talent predicted it’s almost blasphemy
41:27
yeah this god-given talent has not been
41:31
fully recognized I’m glad you brought
41:34
this up yep it is truly offensive to me
41:38
and I’m not easily offended that my
41:43
singing videos do not have less than I
41:47
mean this should be a million views
41:49
apiece honestly that is the that is I
41:53
mean a scientific fact that my talent is
41:57
is the primary reason the earth turns
42:03
there we go I didn’t do I didn’t I
42:06
didn’t know would start doing that again
42:07
um so no it’s absolutely an objective
42:10
fact that you’re one of if not the most
42:12
talented singers I’ve ever seen we have
42:14
and we’ve gotten we’ve gotten quite a
42:16
few comments here Michael R it says
42:19
voice of an angel cliff says I Kris run
42:22
says I like this mixtape Philip prune
42:25
ADIS is a hundred times better than
42:26
Miley Cyrus or or or Billy Ray Cyrus
42:30
let’s be clear this Reynolds is spittin
42:32
hot fire
42:34
Jacob LaBelle this dude yeah we’ve got a
42:38
few more hearts and smiley faces so you
42:41
uh you definitely hit with Muddy Waters
42:43
crowd so we’ll be putting out when you
42:46
when you release your album when you
42:47
drop your album let me know and we’ll
42:48
put in the shownotes yeah I got you okay
42:51
good so speaking of which this is as
42:55
good a time as any for me to plug
42:56
something so this is my halfway through
42:58
the show show plug hey gang are you
43:00
thinking of starting a podcast well I
43:01
hope to hell you are because anchor is
43:03
the easiest way to make a podcast anchor
43:05
gives you everything you need in one
43:06
place for free which you can use right
43:09
from your phone or computer why they
43:11
even have creation tools that allow you
43:12
to record and edit your podcast so what
43:14
sounds great they’ll distribute your
43:16

the show is over
43:46
not a second before so Marcus on one of
43:50
your recent videos you said and I quote
43:52
where California goes the nation goes
43:55
and that scared the hell out of me
43:57
mostly because I immediately recognized
44:00
it to be true tell us what you meant
44:02
when you said that well if you look at a
44:05
lot of these laws that you have on the
44:08
books around the nation like seatbelt
44:12
laws by comet laws vaccination laws the
44:17
the fact that California represents a
44:21
very sizable student population so
44:25
whatever California puts it in its
44:27
curriculum a vast number of states have
44:31
to buy that same book because the
44:35
publisher is gonna print so many copies
44:38
in whatnot right so when you look at
44:41
what we do here in California the
44:43
cellphone laws a lot of the gun laws
44:46
those tend to spread and they tend to
44:49
spread rather quickly right oh when
44:53
people laugh at California you know I’ve
44:57
been on gun forums and whatnot for a
44:59
long time when they when they look at
45:03
our laws and they laugh at us I was like
45:05
hey man how about you joined the fight
45:07
and then they’re like screw California
45:09
blah blah blah and then fail to realize
45:13
these California lawmakers are usually
45:16
going through these stepping stones
45:19
through state politics to going into
45:22
federal politics right and they’re
45:24
bringing those ideas with them to the
45:26
federal level there will be a day where
45:30
these jackass Democrats hold both houses
45:33
and the presidency that will happen
45:36
without a doubt oh yeah but then in ten
45:40
to twenty years probably about three to
45:42
four times around all cause that you
45:45
weren’t willing to fight with us on that
45:47
you aren’t willing to support our battle
45:49
those will be coming to a federal level
45:51
and you can already see that because
45:53
guess where Nancy Pelosi is from right
45:56
yep the Bay Area and and I mean they’re
45:59
grooming Gavin Newsom I don’t think
46:01
he’ll make it but I’d they’re trying to
46:03
agree Gavin Newsom for federal office no
46:07
other than the former before Trump came
46:09
and became the Republican hero the
46:11
Republican hero was Ronald Reagan no
46:13
other than Ronald Reagan as California
46:15
Governor in response to scary black men
46:17
carrying guns outside passed the laws
46:21
against open carry in California it was
46:22
all triggered by you know white
46:24
Democrats like a Ronald Reagan who us
46:27
because he was a Democrat at the time
46:29
who said we have to you know stop
46:32
basically black people from carrying
46:34
guns outside because of the Black
46:35
Panthers and so now there’s no more open
46:37
carry in California during and and that
46:39
carried on into other places he ended up
46:41
becoming president as president he
46:43
advocated for assault weapons bans which
46:46
ended up becoming law in 1994 thankfully
46:48
that expired and no fool
46:49
but it’s not just one party or the other
46:51
it’s like you said California is sort of
46:53
a trendsetter not just politically but
46:57
socially so much of pop culture comes
46:59
out of California and then it’s it’s
47:02
also the fact that when you’re such a
47:03
big economic powerhouse you can drive
47:05
smaller states in the things I heard
47:08
recently that so you guys have the
47:11
strictest regulations on how your gas is
47:13
were fine and so when these refineries
47:15
will make gasoline complete to comply
47:18
with the different states in order for
47:19
it to comply with California regulations
47:21
they have to actually empty out the
47:23
tanks and let them dry for something
47:25
like 24 hours in an industry where
47:28
they’re you know pretty you know
47:29
measuring how much how many you know
47:31
tens of thousands of barrels they can
47:33
refine in an hour they have to let it
47:35
completely dry out all day long so that
47:37
they can produce California gas so
47:39
there’s actually pressure from the
47:41
refineries on smaller states for them to
47:43
also adopt those same California
47:45
restrictions so that they can you know
47:48
not have to keep it emptied out as long
47:50
and just keep using the California
47:52
restriction so and I’m sure that works
47:54
its way schoolbooks every other thing so
47:56
the people that you know the people
47:58
whose plan for California is to hope
48:00
that it you know sinks into the ocean
48:02
you know is they’re not they’re not
48:05
addressing the reality of the fact that
48:07
California’s kind of dragging the rest
48:08
of the world the rest of the country
48:09
with it no and and that’s what’s really
48:13
really sad that we are all
48:15
interconnected but we refuse to
48:18
understand that these things don’t have
48:22
to happen if the Republic sticks
48:25
together as a republic right and you
48:28
fail to understand that the people or
48:32
the power because that sounds like some
48:33
socialist rhetoric right you felt
48:36
understand what this republic was always
48:40
been about and and it’s sad I mean I I
48:43
don’t even know if we can ever recover
48:46
from this because you know you brought
48:50
the term like automatic hero can we have
48:52
semi-automatic heroes legal or illegal
48:57
so apparently my son had this laptop I’m
49:02
about to play
49:03

also said Texas will flip eventually
49:39
that’s I it could very well happen I was
49:43
very surprised to see how how how close
49:50
beta will work although supposedly
49:53
California expats were more likely to
49:55
vote for Cruz but I don’t know how
49:57
accurate that was Chris all said at
49:59
least Nancy Reagan brought that great
50:02
just ain’t no policy worked perfectly
50:03
I actually one of my favorite shirts to
50:06

50:11
Chris Reynolds said sing spike
50:13
absolutely not never never a shout-out
50:18
from Don Gotti and what else do we have
50:22
here are you doing Oh me give me a call
50:25
that’s my that’s my guy cool he’s IRL
50:31
friends it’s when your IRL friends cool
50:34
so mark is a little bit of a change of
50:38
subject here because you mentioned it
50:41
one of your more recent videos I grew
50:42
like you I grew up on rap hip-hop and
50:45
R&B; wu-tang Naughty by Nature Isley
50:47
Brothers Naz Shah take your Tribe Called
50:49
Quest all of that like that was that was
50:51
me I was the white kid that listened to
50:53
black music in South Carolina which you
50:56
can imagine the names I was called but
50:57
that was me I was also the only Jew but
51:01
that’s a whole other subject oh yeah I
51:03
can’t even listen to the garbage that is
51:06
coming out now I don’t consider it and
51:09
it calls itself it’s the same stations I
51:11
used to listen to and it had no but I
51:15
like I can’t even replicate
51:16
that calls itself hip-hop and R&B; it is
51:19
utter garbage who is to blame for this
51:22
and how do we punish them well that’s I
51:25
think it goes to unfortunately it kind
51:30
of started with outcasts opening the
51:33
door nationwide to the southern
51:36
experience and then Little John came in
51:39
and he ruled the scene for an extended
51:42
period of time
51:43
right and then Cash Money also had a lot
51:47
to do with this and you know hip-hop
51:50
usually would gravitate between west
51:53
coast and the East Coast you know like
51:56
the outcasts came and opened up a new
51:59
front so to speak in this war and with
52:02
you know the natural evolution because
52:05
you know Little John was all about that
52:07
rowdy stuff that head buster prior I’m a
52:10
and then it kind of like like just this
52:17
it didn’t evolve the devolve guide
52:20
evolved yeah into this gutter music were
52:25
a lot of these guys their cadence is so
52:27
predictable
52:28
my and my son listens to the shit and
52:31
I’m like my god yeah that’s the same guy
52:34
we even listen to the same while we
52:36
listen to his album and he’s like no
52:38
we’ve listened to like ten different
52:40
dudes and I’m like no way those were 10
52:43
introduced because it sounded precisely
52:46
the same with the same beat rhythm the
52:51
same cadence and their delivery because
52:54
you know I was I you know whoo tang was
52:58
a major influence in my life but I go
52:59
all the way back to it like I thought it
53:01
was Big Daddy Kane growing up because
53:03
the greater Big Daddy Kane Big Daddy
53:07
Kane moved everyone out of the whole
53:09
boom bap thing into like this newer like
53:12
what we know was like late 80s 90s rap
53:15
he started all that I firmly believe
53:18
like my homeboys you know there’s this
53:22
group called lexicon and they they were
53:24
recently they were really big in Europe
53:26
but as to Jewish kids
53:30
we stand hang out and have these long
53:32
discussions about hip-hop and we’re was
53:35
going back in the early 2000s and we
53:39
kind of predicted its fall when when you
53:41
know cuz we were really they had a song
53:43
called Nike hits and we were really into
53:46
airforce once and then Nelly made a song
53:49
about airports and all like we got like
53:53
collectively looked at each other and
53:55
said it’s over and that was one another
53:57
contributor to the downfall you know I’m
54:00
not hating on their because they got
54:01
their their money they did their things
54:03
they were pop they were popular and I
54:06
can dig it but nobody ever sees the
54:10
repercussions it’s like government
54:11
government’s gonna go in there with the
54:13
best of intentions and Dinah’s fuck it
54:16
all up and it’s all shit and garbage now
54:17
and that’s the same thing with a lot of
54:19
these guys did with their hip-hop music
54:22
they went in there with the best of
54:23
intentions but it just found a lot of
54:26
garbage following that so that’s a very
54:29
interesting hot take I think this is the
54:31
first time I’ve ever heard someone blame
54:32
dirty south music for what we have now
54:35
which I I have to I take some personal
54:38
offense just because I also grew up on
54:40
beats by the pound Cash Money Master P
54:43
mystical all of that and I get what so I
54:46
get what you’re saying because I kind of
54:47
get it especially with like Cash Money
54:49
and when Air Force Ones came out that
54:51
definitely was not a song that I like in
54:53
retrospect that song is hidden shoulders
54:56
above anything else that’s like like
54:59
honestly only the only new artists I
55:02
like are ones who are replicating 90s
55:06
and 2000’s music so like Griselda
55:09
anything from Griselda Action Bronson
55:12
these but these are all using these are
55:15
all people using that say believe it to
55:17
a Jew to try to bring it back to
55:18
something nice but uh these are all
55:20
people trying to replicate that almost I
55:23
guess that Big Daddy Kane cadence of
55:25
music and and getting out of that like
55:28
the top of and like and then they’re
55:31
like dressing like I mean if you want to
55:33
dress in a dress or whatever fine but
55:35
then you’re like calling yourself a thug
55:36
but you’re wearing a dress and you’ve
55:38
got a gun but you’re sucking on a
55:40
pacifier like I just I don’t it
55:43
very androgynous and that was I was I
55:46
was a young kid in the eighties and that
55:49
was the kind of the style anywhere from
55:51
hair metal to R&B; it’s very interesting
55:54
this and you just kind of like wondered
55:56
about everybody and we’re like you know
55:58
I screw it I think that’s right X had
56:00
the first open attitude towards gay
56:03
people is because we grew up looking at
56:05
all these images like okay is that a
56:08
dude or chick you know I don’t even have
56:10
time for this I’m playing Super Mario
56:12
Brothers on my Nintendo line I’m talking
56:15
about the old-school Nintendo like oh
56:17
yeah the NES and all that’s the Tendo 64
56:22
stuff like that yeah so yeah this in the
56:27
south per se you know because my family
56:30
roots are in Alabama right but you know
56:34
the the music’s and this is not because
56:39
I believe the outcasts are an epic
56:43
world-class Hall of Fame type of music
56:47
group I love Outkast right right but you
56:51
know what you cannot copy an original
56:54
you’re gonna spawn off and of what
56:59
Americans generally like is that they
57:02
like what appeals to the lowest common
57:04
denominator in general so to speak on
57:08
everything from politics music culture
57:10
they want to go to that lowest common
57:13
denominator and and for a lot of hip-hop
57:16
that’s the because I honestly believe
57:20
and I’m a cat shit for this honestly
57:22
believe it pop has been detrimental to
57:26
the black community
57:27
in a lot of ways because this pervasive
57:33
attitude towards violence unnecessary
57:37
violence because I’m a firm believer in
57:39
violence but you know when it’s violence
57:43
because somebody looked at you the wrong
57:44
way or stepped on your shoe or said
57:46
something that that’s that’s unnecessary
57:49
violence that just simply doesn’t need
57:51
to happen and when you have all those
57:53
guys because I remember that one song
57:55
I’m a head buster
57:56
and I was like dang dude I know what
57:59
happens after the club when guys have
58:02
ingested that’s all – three times fine
58:04
with some cognac yeah yeah and it is
58:08
chance cuz like I was talking to my my
58:10
daughter yesterday I was like when I was
58:12
in school you know we will fight we go
58:14
ahead up and typically that was the end
58:16
of it but like as I got into my twenties
58:19
fools were fight and they would go ahead
58:22
up in the club and then you would have
58:25
to like glow crawl through the parking
58:28
lot to get out because it was just like
58:30
a warzone
58:30
people would just start letting off
58:32
right right and now it’s it’s letting
58:36
off in the club I mean it’s this like
58:38
skip the fisticuffs let’s just go to
58:41
start yeah yeah yeah and that’s what a
58:45
lot of hip-hop glorifies and I think
58:48
it’s unfortunate in that sense and you
58:51
know keep in mind I grew up listening to
58:52
NWA right and I recited just about every
58:56
single song word for word just play me
58:58
the beat and I’ll do the whole damn song
59:00
right and if you really listen to NWA’s
59:05
first album you it’s it’s a cut it’s
59:07
anti violence and anti drugs because
59:10
they’re telling you if you do X Y & Z
59:13
you’re gonna end up like this particular
59:15
guy or that particular guy you know
59:17
that’s like the theme song that’s the
59:19
theme to dope man and if you listen to
59:22
dope man from the front to the end right
59:24
selling do that go work at the post
59:25
office right right right exactly
59:27
exactly yeah so I was the white kid that
59:30
would listen to gangsta rap music on my
59:32
way to like you know oh yeah but I bet
59:36
you know on my way to like cuz I had a
59:37
website design company that I started
59:39
when I was a kid and and so you know I’d
59:40
go on my way to meet my client I’m
59:42
listening to you know flipmode squad or
59:44
whatever the hell was on there Master P
59:45
or whatever and you know angriest music
59:47
and then get out of the car like hey
59:48
everybody so um I actually read an
59:52
interesting thing about this since we’re
59:53
talking about cultural stuff that part
59:56
of the reason that there is the level of
59:57
violence over like you were saying silly
59:59
stuff like scuffed shoes and things like
60:01
that is that coming out of slavery
60:03
segregation all of those things that
60:06
there was such a I guess a scare
60:10
city of respect for people especially
60:12
men in the black community that any
60:15
perceived disrespect would would be more
60:18
likely to set them off because they
60:19
weren’t being respected in any other
60:21
aspect of their lives or in society at
60:23
large and so they unlike me if someone
60:27
disrespects me more often and I’m like
60:28
yeah whatever I don’t really care unless
60:30
it’s like you’re really like trying to
60:32
like harm me or my family or especially
60:34
if you’re insulting someone I care about
60:35
but me I’m like I’ll probably just laugh
60:37
it off but I also haven’t dealt with a
60:39
level of being disrespected on a
60:41
societal level do you think there’s
60:42
anything to that I think there’s a lot
60:45
to that now interesting factoid about me
60:48
is I belong to the first generation of
60:51
black Americans I fucking hate the term
60:54
African Americans by the way I’m the
60:56
first person of black Americans that
60:58
didn’t grow up under slavery or Jim Crow
61:00
my father and mother graduated from high
61:03
school in 1968 in Mobile Alabama oh and
61:07
that was the height of the this stuff so
61:11
there was there was a cultural element
61:15
that was were when we were under Jim
61:18
Crow were and I dislike using this term
61:22
but it’s the only one I could think of a
61:24
common enemy which was the government
61:26
that sanctioned
61:27
apartheid Jim Crow social engineering
61:30
right and from that point forward once
61:35
we were relieved of that the next step
61:39
with the government undertook in it and
61:40
it’s been a document in fact by one of
61:42
the chief architects of the war on drugs
61:45
the Nixon administration brought about
61:49
the war on drugs to extend the Jim Crow
61:52
era policies of the United States
61:54
government right and that in itself
61:58
combined with the social engineering of
62:01
the do-gooder liberals by putting all
62:04
these poor people in this condensed
62:07
housing combined poor education combined
62:11
with over policing combined with the
62:15
welfare state whereas the father if he
62:17
was in the home you wouldn’t receive
62:19
these benefits so you actually had to
62:23
hide your dad Oh your dad can live with
62:26
you because you wouldn’t see these
62:29
benefits but at the same time you’re not
62:31
in the position to advance yourself
62:34
economically because your education with
62:37
subpar right you know there’s a lot of
62:40
mitigating factors that we we have to
62:42
look at to see the disposition of the
62:45
black community and you know they I I am
62:49
a constant peruse er of websites like
62:53
Stormfront
62:54
and these are these far-right websites
62:57
because I like to hear they’re a peak
62:59
yeah I think they’re in it needs to be
63:02
heard it needs to be validated in in the
63:05
sense that they had their chance to
63:07
prove or display their point of view
63:10
based on their beliefs but it doesn’t
63:13
necessarily mean that’s right of course
63:14
but you know when they say they blame
63:17
the culture I was like what culture are
63:19
you talking about when did black people
63:21
have a culture in this country that was
63:26
aimed at prosperity prosperity and
63:30
bringing about a mending into this
63:35
society on equal terms and they say well
63:39
I don’t know and I was like well yes
63:40
there was there was a 10-year period
63:42
after this civil war that extended into
63:45
the early 1900s actually so it was a
63:49
little bit more than ten years but there
63:50
was a Labour’s like we call like the
63:52
glory glory area that ten-year period
63:54
where black communities were some of the
63:59
most prosperous in America if you were
64:02
to google race riots of the 1890s to
64:06
like the 1920s you will see what
64:09
happened to most of those communities
64:12
they were destroyed and then that was
64:14
further propagated with Jim Crow going
64:16
into the war on drugs which has not
64:19
ended because one of the few things
64:21
Obama did that I was like all right you
64:24
did something good was the ten to one
64:27
ratio there was 10 years to one year for
64:30
crack cocaine to powder cocaine meaning
64:33
if Alice per ounce yeah one ounce of
64:36
crack
64:36
one ounce of powder cocaine you will get
64:38
10 years for that crack and one year for
64:41
that powder cocaine right and that’s an
64:45
obvious discrepancy in the law for
64:47
obvious reasons for anybody who
64:48
understands the United States judicial
64:51
system right exactly it was most type of
64:54
things and I’m not blaming it on that
64:56
because I think it’s primarily education
64:58
is that working the field of education
65:00
this is my last point I work in the
65:02
field of education and every year we
65:04
have to do an audit of our schools by
65:08
the county because of a lawsuit that
65:10
happened many years ago whereas the the
65:14
county goes into your schools and make
65:16
sure every student has a safe and clean
65:19
classroom environment and school
65:21
environment will have all the materials
65:23
prescribed by the curriculum in the
65:25
state of California and they have
65:27
everything they need for a the
65:30
educational process that lawsuit a sperm
65:34
on the fact that the it was I don’t know
65:38
if it was Los Angeles Unified but some
65:39
parents from the Southern California
65:41
area school to their school district
65:44
because their schools were run down
65:46
while the schools in the wealthier more
65:49
affluent neighborhoods were for kept and
65:51
all the materials were present right
65:53
right so when you look at where the
65:56
black community fails the number one
65:58
place is the most basic of education to
66:02
me right yep no absolutely and I mean
66:05
when you see this pervasive idea that
66:08
although I’ve noticed it gets fought
66:09
back against more and more but I
66:11
remember growing up at least when you
66:14
would have a black person that would
66:15
move down from the north and they would
66:16
talk more like me than like the other
66:18
southern black people there and they
66:20
would all say why are you talking white
66:21
and I will say I’ve noticed in the last
66:23
few years there’s been real pushback
66:25
against the idea that there’s such a
66:26
thing as you know talking black are
66:28
talking white but when I was growing up
66:30
that was like the thing if you didn’t
66:32
talk a certain way and so you had black
66:33
people from up north who talked more
66:35
like this than I did who were
66:37
intentionally trying to talk black so
66:40
that they wouldn’t be given such a hard
66:41
time in school so it’s great it’s crazy
66:45
stuff but um anyway I I’m gonna go ahead
66:48
literally what happened to me
66:49
with the colors in Alabama oh they like
66:53
what you talk so proper it’s crazy stuff
66:59
it is it is crazy stuff so we had some
67:01
interesting follower questions that I
67:05
want to go over with you one was so one
67:09
was you’re the other black guy who likes
67:12
guns who would so there was actually a
67:14
debate here between who was the I guess
67:17
first black guy who likes guns um Pete
67:20
like the black guy and it was kind of a
67:22
battle between Maj Toure and colione
67:24
noir but I think it’s cooling on noir
67:26
right correct that’s who I are the other
67:30
two it was actually my friend Dmitri
67:33
because I originally made India to
67:35
Matthew shadow and he was like no
67:36
because every time we would have these
67:38
debates on contraband they would call me
67:43
the more radical Colleoni war because
67:47
I’m not constrained by corporate money
67:49
or anything so I would say precisely how
67:52
I feel I feel and because people out
67:54
shit like that
67:55
so that’s why they say oh yeah you’d
67:57
like the other guy that like black guys
67:58
that likes guns terrorists so I was
68:02
basically on ok and so that was I
68:05
assumed as much because I’m thinking
68:07
like March 2 race only been around a
68:08
year or two and you’ve been around
68:09
longer than that so I was like I’m
68:10
pretty sure it’s it’s someone older than
68:12
that so owed me a shirt I bought a shirt
68:15
from him like two years ago I never got
68:17
my shirt so who Marco Leung nice okay
68:21
well I will I will let him know um so
68:24
another question someone said so another
68:27
question related to it so someone said
68:28
um they asked your thoughts on so I
68:31
don’t know how much you follow political
68:34
libertarian stuff but Mazda is running
68:36
as a Congress or running in City for
68:40
City Council for Philadelphia
68:41
libertarian and he made some comments
68:43
about I guess anti-immigrant comments
68:46
and we got a ton of people who wanted to
68:49
know I guess because you’re also black
68:51
and also like guns if you agree with him
68:54
on immigration I think um immigrants
69:00
need to do things the right way that’s
69:01
where my father-in-law
69:02
he did things the right way he came here
69:04
legally if this is a very sore subject
69:10
in the black community and by no means
69:12
do I represent all of the black
69:13
community right but traditionally in
69:17
those black neighborhoods the people who
69:21
have work at the low-paying entry-level
69:23
jobs were were black and now you’re
69:26
seeing more Latino and Hispanic people
69:29
coming into those jobs and you know
69:31
black people being boxed out and that’s
69:34
the reason why a lot of black people
69:35
have a problem with immigration because
69:38
at the end of the day the first people
69:40
who not I don’t want to say lose their
69:44
jobs but the first people economically
69:47
impacted are the people or the lower
69:48
rungs of the economic ladder right and
69:51
oh that’s unfortunately that’s been a
69:54
traditional realm of the black society
69:58
in this country so I understand where
70:02
they’re coming from but I do not believe
70:04
the rhetoric that produces hate at the
70:07
end of the day now is the right one to
70:11
put your message forward because like it
70:15
or not because it are it’s already
70:17
happen in California California leading
70:19
the way Latinos make up the majority and
70:25
if you look at birth rates among blacks
70:28
and whites ours are actually decreasing
70:31
while Asians and Latinos are expanding
70:34
at a tremendous rate so these people
70:37
especially with social media then
70:40
everything lasts forever nothing ever
70:42
goes away so it’s better to meet at the
70:45
table and discuss how can we mutually
70:49
find a beneficial relationship versus
70:53
rhetoric that may come back to haunt you
70:56
when you’re instead of playing you know
70:59
it’s basically playing checkers right
71:01
like this is yeah one especially when
71:04
not only are they coming at you know
71:07
most immigration right now is is either
71:09
Latino or Asian and they are like you
71:12
said having more children especially so
71:13
a one group that gets left out a lot is
71:16
Indian
71:16
Americans who not only are coming at
71:19
large rates and having large households
71:20
they are already the largest they
71:23
already have the highest per in per
71:25
person income of any demographic
71:27
included there they’re actually
71:28
neck-and-neck with white Jews um they’re
71:31
there
71:32
so I read they’re there and I mean
71:35
you’re you’re in California so you would
71:36
you would know as well as anyone else
71:38
they’re coming here on mass there’s a
71:40
billion of them in their home country
71:42
they’re having lots of children here and
71:43
they’re having lots and lots of money
71:45
too because they’re starting businesses
71:47
and everything else keep going you know
71:49
extrapolate that out a generation or two
71:51
you’re gonna have a very very large
71:53
minority of people who also are
71:56
incredibly wealthy so you know be
71:59
careful you’re talking about these
72:00
people because Ivy right now there’s
72:02
only a million or two of them but what
72:03
happens when there’s 20 million of them
72:05
and they have half the country’s wealth
72:07
yeah well it’s expected within my
72:10
lifetime and I’m about I’m close to
72:13
halfway done that this country will be a
72:17
majority brown country right and I think
72:20
that’s where a lot of the fear in these
72:22
these right-wing you know the
72:25
Charlottesville Jews when I replaces all
72:27
these guys I think that’s a fear oh yeah
72:30
yeah that these minorities and people
72:33
may treat them like they treated like
72:37
they treated them exactly yes you know I
72:40
think that’s the core belief of their
72:42
fear but I don’t see that going forward
72:47
in the kids because the kids my kids are
72:51
mixed and you know they’ve gotten
72:53
everything from are you Asian to to
72:56
white right in their black seekin and
73:01
well the little known fact is Los
73:03
Angeles it was founded by blacks Eakins
73:06
it was like general Pico was the he was
73:10
half black half Mexican general that
73:12
helped found it he’s in one of the main
73:14
news that founded this this city out
73:17
here okay you know we need to understand
73:20
that at the end of the day we all want
73:24
the same thing it’s everybody wants the
73:27
same thing they want peace they want to
73:30
be able to
73:30
raise their family and have a nice long
73:33
life and died with their grandkids and
73:36
great-grandkids around them knowing that
73:38
they will prosper going forward
73:41
everybody wants that so why can’t that
73:45
be the common goal instead of you know
73:48
cuz I want to talk about the
73:49
disappearing of certain cultures Western
73:52
culture euro culture or whatever culture
73:54
America whatever culture you want to
73:56
call it right but this this enterprise
73:59
of the United States has never been done
74:01
before
74:02
this isn’t your grand experiment in
74:05
democracy because you could look at most
74:08
countries they’re all homogeneous but
74:10
this country has never had an exclusive
74:14
monolithic culture that we could say
74:17
needs to be preserved because you know
74:20
I’m in here in Southern California and
74:23
like if it’s a nice night of partying
74:27
and drinking I’m like let’s go get some
74:28
tacos right oh oh if you guys do that in
74:32
South Carolina after a nice night of
74:34
drinking or whatever what’s your go-to
74:36
but that’s a cultural thing yeah so for
74:40
for them to portray their culture is
74:43
under siege number one is patently false
74:46
because culture is passed down through
74:48
family yeah it’s not a thing where you
74:54
know my neighbor next door on either
74:56
side we all practice the same culture
74:59
because that’s just this doesn’t happen
75:00
know if your culture is declining it’s
75:03
cuz no one wants to have kids with you
75:04
and and you should probably examine what
75:06
what’s causing that I and and this is
75:09
not new so when the large groups of
75:12
Germans and Scandinavians were coming to
75:14
the u.s. in the early 1800s the and back
75:18
then they were not considered white only
75:19
people of English Anglo minoan glish
75:24
northern French and northern German
75:27
ancestry were considered white everyone
75:29
else was European and so when these
75:31
Europeans were coming there were all
75:33
these warnings even Ben Franklin warned
75:35
about you know these these gutter people
75:36
from Germany and Scandinavia who are
75:39
coming to ruin everything and then later
75:41
on when the Irish people the Russian
75:43
people my peep
75:44
the Jews came we were foreign people
75:46
with foreign religions who were gonna
75:48
ruin everything and then after that it
75:50
was people then for a long time you know
75:53
it’s been Latin Americans and now that
75:54
it’s shifting more towards Asians you
75:57
know and and and it’s always like
75:58
whatever group is coming
76:00
there’s someone complaining that America
76:02
is changing but America has always been
76:03
changing it’s like you said no one a
76:05
hundred and fifty years ago was saying
76:07
hey let’s go get tacos unless you were
76:09
in maybe California or like the border
76:11
area of Texas no one in South Carolina
76:13
was getting tacos or pizza or Chinese
76:16
food or hummus or any of the things we
76:19
like you know I have a black Canadian
76:22
immigrant wife we dance salsa we get
76:24
tacos afterwards we hang out with people
76:26
from all different you know races and
76:28
religions whatever culture that is it’s
76:32
a good one and we also have a home in
76:34
Toronto where I am literally it’s one of
76:37
the wealthier suburbs in Toronto I am
76:39
the only white person in that
76:41
neighborhood it is mostly Indians
76:44
Pakistanis a lot of West Indians so like
76:47
people from bar Barbados like my wife’s
76:49
family is Jamaicans these are wealthy
76:52
people they’re wealthy Canadians they
76:54
came they have their you know thick
76:55
accents from whatever countries they
76:57
came from their parent their kids talk
76:59
like my wife does they said they all
77:00
sound like Canadians so a lot of that
77:02
rinses out in the wash anyway but the
77:05
people who are scared the ones that I
77:07
find who are the most scared it’s like
77:09
you said the ones were the most scared
77:10
of being replaced are the ones who treat
77:12
other people the most shitty because
77:15
they’re scared that when someone else
77:17
becomes the majority they’re gonna be
77:19
treated the way that they’ve been
77:21
treating everyone else which tamizha had
77:23
stopped treating people that way no this
77:26
is a cycle of the half a end and I might
77:29
add to that that us black Americans were
77:32
the only ones that were truly invited to
77:34
come to this country everybody’s they
77:36
everybody else just came unannounced
77:38
we were wanted and invited so we came
77:41
here you know under an invitation
77:44
everybody else was an intruder going
77:47
back to the inception of this country
77:48
right I mean that’s that’s an awful
77:52
interesting way to talk about the
77:54
transatlantic slave trade to say you
77:56
were invited I guess that’s a way of
77:57
wording it
77:59
now that that is my sarcastic nature but
78:02
yeah I I enjoy
78:06
I don’t truly know what my culture is
78:10
because in Alabama you know we get up in
78:14
the morning and it’s it’s fishing grits
78:17
you know and I come here in California
78:20
for breakfast
78:22
it’s chorizo and eggs you know right
78:25
right in that’s a cultural thing and the
78:28
only thing that stopped like I said the
78:30
only thing that’s stopping your culture
78:32
from progressing and moving forward is
78:34
you so your mindless complaints and tiki
78:38
torch parades I found it so comical you
78:42
know that these people who still control
78:46
the judicial system and ultimately
78:48
that’s what government comes down to
78:50
because that’s the way they mainly
78:52
oppress people is through this was
78:54
that’s correct yeah when you control
78:58
that what are you truly afraid of what
79:00
are you truly worried about is is are
79:04
you scared black cops are gonna like my
79:06
best friend he was somewhat militant in
79:10
college he went to Cal Berkeley and he
79:15
ended up going to the Marines and he’s
79:17
actually an officer in the Marines now
79:18
and he’s a cop
79:19
and he says he deals with a lot of
79:22
racism and he’s a sergeant and
79:25
everything from a lot of people he works
79:28
with but he doesn’t view that as
79:31
something where I need to go out there
79:33
and extract my personal racist views on
79:38
other people he’s like you know what the
79:40
only way we’re gonna move past this it
79:42
was by moving past it right I don’t give
79:44
in affirmative action I don’t believe in
79:46
special rules for anybody um I I in and
79:51
that’s the thing in California I just
79:52
did that that show about where
79:54
California goes the nation goes because
79:57
they’re teaching kindergarteners about
80:00
gay history and transgender is and I’m
80:03
like my kids had enough trouble learning
80:06
their side words and making sure they in
80:08
California you’re expected to read out a
80:10
kindergarten now
80:11
versus ones in school is first a second
80:14
grade you’re expected to learn how to
80:15
read so the there’s very high
80:17
expectations and not all these kids
80:19
there’s this this parable about
80:22
education whereas the lesson is to climb
80:25
this big tall tree you have a monkey
80:27
it’s Raph an elephant a leopard a goat
80:31
and let’s say an eagle right OH these
80:36
animals are supposed to climb that tree
80:38
that’s what our educational system is
80:40
right now something we’re well-equipped
80:42
to climb that tree but others are
80:45
well-equipped to do stuff on the ground
80:48
better than the ones that could climb
80:50
the tree right exactly so that’s where
80:54
you know we look at a culture society
80:57
and we everybody’s trying to fit you and
80:59
plug you into a box and I’m like be
81:02
yourself propagate your culture as you
81:04
see fit when there’s our iris parade
81:07
goal your iris parade right that’s how
81:09
you extend your culture that’s how you
81:12
keep the the your forefathers our life
81:15
and why are you concerned about what
81:18
other people are doing right yeah no
81:21
it’s the matter it’s the marketplace of
81:22
ideas and we have an Oktoberfest every
81:24
year maybe 10% of the people there are
81:26
German but yeah everyone’s dressing up
81:30
like Heidi and Gretel and Hansel or
81:31
whatever the tale with the trick and I
81:34
don’t even know what that clothing is
81:36
called that the tall socks and the
81:38
buckle belts and buckled shoes and
81:40
everything like great you know because
81:43
people lederhosen that’s what lederhosen
81:45
but I used to agree on the on the
81:47
immigration thing that you know they
81:49
need to go through the legal process the
81:50
more time I after having my wife go
81:53
through the legal process seeing what a
81:55
thieving mess it is and then also
81:58
realizing like these are the same people
82:00
that can’t run the DMV do I really want
82:02
them deciding who can and can’t come
82:04
here I really like at this point I mean
82:07
I’m also pretty much I mean I’m an
82:08
anarchist at this point so I don’t think
82:10
the government should be doing anything
82:11
but I when I see these people coming
82:13
here I get what you’re saying
82:15
so especially black people and people
82:17
that are lower income they’re now
82:18
directly competing with people that just
82:20
got here who are willing to work for
82:21
Less their enemy isn’t that immigrant
82:25
their enemy is a government that has
82:27
throw taxes and regulations and labor
82:29
regulations payroll taxes Social
82:31
Security taxes wage laws and everything
82:34
else priced them out of the market so
82:36
that someone can come in illegally and
82:38
take their job at you know half the half
82:40
the price the end the enemy in my mind
82:42
is the state not you know someone who
82:44
just got here is just trying to provide
82:45
for their family I get what you’re
82:46
saying but I also at this point when I
82:49
see the government not abiding by its
82:52
own rules they tell us what we can and
82:53
can’t do
82:54
while they you know just recently killed
82:56
a few dozen pine nut farmers in
82:58
Afghanistan and they just went sorry I
83:00
wouldn’t mean take we meant to kill
83:01
someone else sorry about that I don’t
83:04
really care what they think about people
83:05
coming here anymore you know well I
83:09
agree 100% with everything you said I
83:12
think you left off one point on the only
83:14
in the factors and that’s also foreign
83:16
policy cause if you look at these
83:18
current immigration waves that are
83:20
coming to come out from Central America
83:22
oh god I was about this today and people
83:25
were saying yeah it was the 80s there in
83:28
the Sandinistas and all that stuff homes
83:30
like no is more like the 1830s when the
83:33
Monroe Doctrine came into place and you
83:35
had these bananas the term Banana
83:37
Republic that’s where I came from cuz
83:39
Dole and all these other fruit companies
83:41
we’re down there just making sure their
83:44
marketplace with sounded secure so they
83:46
could import their product so they use
83:48
the the money and influence that they
83:52
peddle to in Washington DC to get these
83:56
foreign policies in place that has left
83:59
that region a literal clusterfuck for
84:02
what almost it’s approaching 200 years
84:06
now it’s 180 underneath some years that
84:09
that region has been manipulated and to
84:14
making sure the economic interest of the
84:17
United States superseded the liberties
84:20
and rights of the people that actually
84:22
live there and with that unstable nature
84:25
of their home governments just you know
84:30
when you have to worry about your
84:32
government and criminals killing you
84:34
yeah me that would make me want to leave
84:37
was to and taste some different measures
84:39
for you walk all the way up to United
84:44
States is a bold and courageous of
84:47
defiance in itself yeah but you’re
84:50
saying I’m not going to survive and
84:53
these under these circumstances under
84:55
this totalitarian government I’m gonna
84:57
take my chances going through a foreign
84:59
land and hopefully hoping I can get to
85:02
somewhere where I can provide my set my
85:04
family the basic of necessities they’re
85:07
not seeking and health per se because
85:11
the vast majority of these people are
85:13
hardworking individuals that you know I
85:16
see on the daily basis in their and with
85:19
their children and ours in our school
85:21
system you talk to these teachers
85:23
they’ll tell you the best kids in these
85:26
schools are the first generation
85:28
immigrant kids oh yeah because they
85:30
still have our old world culture of
85:31
respect yeah yeah yeah the American kids
85:34
are literal Jack I can’t tell you how
85:37
many times per day I’ll go into a
85:39
classroom and I’ll tell their kid stop
85:42
looking at me pay attention to your
85:43
teacher and he’ll mouth off well it’s
85:46
off to his teacher I’ve heard kids use
85:48
every customer that I know and one
85:49
sentence that a teacher and if I had
85:52
done that that teacher would have took
85:53
me to the principal the principal might
85:55
because California just got rid of
85:57
corporal punishment in the I think was
86:00
the early 90s for public schools they
86:02
still exist in private schools right
86:04
right
86:05
but my greatest fear was them calling my
86:08
parents and telling them what I did or
86:09
said exactly exactly these kids nowadays
86:13
because I used to coach youth sports
86:15
these parents want to be friends with
86:17
their kids and they want the cool kids
86:19
that you know that say all the catchy
86:21
phrases and know all the lyrics to some
86:24
stupid fucking rap song when they’re
86:26
three years old right and then parade
86:29
them around or other people will act
86:31
like a little jackass and they get to
86:32
school and they make everybody else
86:34
experience shitty because they don’t
86:36
know how to act
86:37
in a reasonable manner because their
86:38
parents wanted the cool kid cry so then
86:42
that goes back to American culture if
86:45
that’s the type of culture that we’re
86:46
trying to protect fuck that shit
86:48
exactly thank you if our
86:51
culture is is you know people listening
86:53
to mumble wrap and then mumbling at
86:56
their teachers and their parents don’t
86:58
do anything cuz they’re high too and
86:59
like you know and and immigrants are
87:02
coming and bringing like old world
87:04
values okay well I guess they’re gonna
87:06
replace us then because here’s the thing
87:07
we’re not having kids so if we’re not
87:09
having kids they’re having kids they’re
87:11
teaching their kids to be respectful
87:12
what the hell do we have to complain
87:14
about it’s it trips me out but like you
87:17
said you have rent-seeking corporations
87:19
that Lobby the government to destabilize
87:21
other parts of the planet that then
87:23
makes those people come here to get away
87:25
from our policies because they’re pretty
87:27
sure we won’t bomb them if they’re here
87:29
or you know DNA belies their neighbors
87:31
yes sir if they’re here so it’s like
87:33
we’re like you know if you’re playing a
87:34
game of tag we’re like you know a safe
87:36
spot where they can’t tag you or
87:38
whatever people who are relatively
87:39
comfortable tend to stay where they are
87:42
even if they’re told something’s better
87:44
somewhere else so even if your honors if
87:46
you’re a subsistence farmer in Nicaragua
87:50
and you know you’re not living a great
87:52
life but you know your your needs are
87:55
met you live in it you you feel
87:56
relatively safe and secure you’re not
87:59
starving to death your government’s not
88:01
trying to kill you because you’re in the
88:02
wrong tribe or the wrong political party
88:04
or wrong whatever there isn’t some
88:06
cartel that’s trying to destroy you to
88:08
take your land or whatever you’re
88:10
probably and someone tells you yeah you
88:11
know you could make more money in
88:13
America they think I’m not gonna go to
88:14
all the way to America I don’t know
88:15
anyone there the culture is different
88:17
but I’m just gonna stay here the people
88:19
who are like you said they’re not coming
88:21
over here for food stamps they’re coming
88:23
over here to escape their you know
88:26
terrible situations that were they’re
88:27
facing you know imminent death and yeah
88:30
once they’re here and they’re told yeah
88:31
we’ll give you you know free stuff okay
88:33
great yeah sure why not it you want you
88:36
and I would do the same thing if we just
88:38
you know you know traveled you know
88:40
2,000 miles to escape you know almost
88:43
certain death and then we’re told we can
88:44
get free housing oh good um but so I
88:47
mean what’s that so you kind of meet
88:51
some where they live right I got nothing
88:53
so you want to give me a free house
88:54
great um yeah my thing is if you got rid
88:58
of the war on drugs if you got rid of
89:00
the welfare state and if you got rid of
89:02
all the barriers to entry that make
89:04
America
89:05
in labor unaffordable most of our
89:07
objections to immigration legal or
89:09
otherwise would tend to go away but
89:11
anyway we have some more questions here
89:13
they’re all gun questions now where do
89:15
you stand on the 9-millimeter versus 45
89:18
debate I like slow and fat you know I
89:23
mean but the current ballistics on
89:26
9-millimeter rounds especially with the
89:29
plus B’s and all that stuff they kind of
89:31
lend credence to more rounds versus
89:35
bigger rounds to be honest with you I
89:38
was a complete 9-millimeter hater yeah
89:43
cuz I got shot at one time and the
89:46
bullet I had a 1990 100 cord the
89:49
9-millimeter round went through the back
89:52
windshield went through the foam molded
89:55
headrest in the back seat and lodged in
89:57
my driver’s side headrest right and I
90:01
was like that’s a weak-ass round so I
90:04
didn’t literally I haven’t and you know
90:07
that was way back when I agree see I
90:10
bought a 9-millimeter pistol last year
90:12
that was a my first my first was a 40
90:14
caliber and then I went to a 45 so now I
90:17
have a 9-millimeter because the
90:19
ballistics have improved to the point
90:21
because I believe in maximum number of
90:24
rounds as well as shot placement because
90:27
you just never know the nature of the
90:29
threat so I’m leaning I’m like 60/40
90:33
9-millimeter right now okay all right
90:36
fair enough I was taught to hate 9
90:37
millimeters growing up my dad’s like
90:39
that’s a garbage round it’s for kids you
90:41
know it’s what you’re gonna learn to
90:42
shoot with growing up but then you’re
90:44
gonna get real adult round I before I
90:46
lost all my weapons in a tragic day at
90:48
sea I have a terrible bottom of the sea
90:52
Marianas Trench net I’ll never get them
90:54
it’s terrible I had a desert eagle 357
90:58
Magnum and because just because I’m like
91:02
you know maximum penetration and then
91:04
now they’re telling me the ballistics of
91:05
9 millimeters are comparable and I’m
91:07
like well that sucks as hell all that
91:12
rest damage for no reason exactly
91:14
although it desert eagle is so heavy
91:16
there’s almost no recoil but yes if
91:18
we’re a 9mm
91:19
I could probably fire it with my pinky
91:20
so someone asked which side are you on
91:23
in the a K versus AR versus SKS debate
91:28
ak-47 100% my first rifle semi-automatic
91:34
semi-automatic rifle was an SKS because
91:38
I believe in the 7 62 by 39 round
91:42
completely I also believe that SKS is
91:45
more accurate than the ak-47 but the
91:48
round limitation because California has
91:50
some very specific laws on SKS’s that
91:54
was the only one they were able to get
91:56
stick through challenges in court
91:58
because they difficulty set the SKS so
92:02
ones that we can own here only hold ten
92:05
rounds but with these stripper clips and
92:08
whatnot and the effective range of it
92:11
I think the SKS is a better rifle as far
92:16
as accuracy and range but the
92:19
intimidation factor or somebody seizing
92:22
seeing you going to a firing position
92:24
holding a ak-47 and you may be behind
92:27
the cinderblock wall that intimidation
92:29
factor cannot be replicated with a ar-15
92:33
because I refer back to the North
92:37
Hollywood shootout I don’t know if you
92:38
recall that word yeah Robert yeah yeah
92:41
yeah well they they had both a FAL and
92:49
ak-47 but there was a group of police
92:51
officers that were behind a cinderblock
92:53
wall and they were firing out on one of
92:56
the guys and he saw them when they were
92:57
firing he turned and fired upon them and
92:59
his rounds were going through that
93:02
cinderblock wall like it wasn’t shit and
93:04
they were catching strapped in the
93:05
wounds and took them out of the fight I
93:06
was like from that point forward I was
93:09
sold yeah because you know I’ve heard
93:11
stories have been going through
93:12
telephone poles and the thing how you
93:15
rate a ak-47 is accurate enough but the
93:20
wound factor in that round whereas you
93:23
get hit in any extremity you there’s a
93:26
good chance you’re gonna bleed out
93:27
versus and combined with the fact you
93:29
get hit center mass you’re fucking
93:31
screwed
93:32
with the a K round right that’s I’m just
93:35
sold on it yeah there’s also something
93:38
to be said I had relatives that fought
93:40
in Vietnam and they said you know they
93:41
had m16s
93:42
which they were constantly having to
93:44
clean constantly having to oil
93:46
constantly having to take apart there
93:48
was constant jamming they had all sorts
93:50
of problems and they said you know the
93:52
the Vietcong you know they had an a K
93:53
that they could you know dig a hole in
93:55
the ground shove them all in the ground
93:56
and then pull them out and you start
93:58
firing them without even cleaning them
93:59
so there’s something I said about a gun
94:01
whose clearances are so much more loose
94:03
I guess is what it is that it’s a super
94:06
weapon that also you know maybe it’s not
94:08
as precise or as whatever but it also in
94:10
real world conditions where you’re not
94:12
constantly you know if I were ever ever
94:15
able to retrieve it from the ocean deep
94:17
I could probably start firing it again
94:19
as opposed to an AR which has probably
94:21
been disintegrated long ago yeah that’s
94:25
also combined with the fact that if
94:27
we’re talking about a real-world
94:29
situation where as a civilian was like
94:33
you and I were able to retrieve their
94:35
weapons from the depths of the deepest
94:37
parts of the ocean right most conflicts
94:40
urban conflicts and this was seen in
94:42
Iraq and Afghanistan where in less than
94:44
100 meters yeah you do want to place
94:47
shots on target but you also want to be
94:50
able to eliminate the target in a in a
94:54
manner relatively quickly and a K is the
95:00
perfect choice for that type of
95:03
situation I remember this one expert I
95:04
was watching some show on the History
95:06
Channel he’s alright you can go to Mars
95:08
and only could take one weapon with you
95:11
what would it be and he said ak-47 and
95:13
I’m like that’s precisely what I would
95:15
think to where the tolerant this and the
95:19
type of environment it actually fires
95:20
underwater whereas you know the
95:23
impingement system of a ar-15 would
95:26
probably just this soak the water ailing
95:28
you just sitting there with a sizable
95:31
club that would pretend a lot of
95:33
resistance as you swing it through the
95:35
volume of water right all right yeah no
95:38
I mean you’ve got people out here
95:39
fighting an actual hot Wars with guns
95:41
aks that are older than there
95:43
parents no one’s fighting with an m16
95:45
from Vietnam there are still people out
95:47
there fighting from Vietnam era a K so
95:50
here was an interesting question who do
95:52
you think was the most revolutionary
95:54
black person in US history that’s an
95:58
extremely tough question to answer
95:59
because my immediate thoughts were or
96:05
Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X but like
96:08
Stokely Carmichael yeah and a little
96:11
group called the Deacons for defense
96:13
that were a armed branch of the civil
96:17
rights movement back in the 60s you know
96:20
those are the type of people that I look
96:23
to as is motivation because as with my
96:29
Jewish brethren I firmly believed never
96:32
again yeah and you know if you look at
96:34
drug control and you know I agree with
96:37
mass on a lot of points specifically
96:40
that all gun control is racist you know
96:42
Ronald Reagan didn’t start the the anti
96:46
Second Amendment culture with the the
96:49
Mumford Act that he signed and that was
96:53
because the Black Panthers went into the
96:56
Capitol building armed to the teeth
96:58
Turing s approach yeah least violence
97:02
and then to that point you know you look
97:05
at all these people who are saying that
97:06
why is everybody now just protesting
97:08
police violence why is compromise now
97:10
taking the knee and and all these black
97:12
lives matters and all this stuff this is
97:14
not a new phenomenon and that’s the
97:16
problem with Americans in history
97:18
history is a a linear pathway that we
97:24
travel and every once in a while we have
97:27
to look back at what happened because
97:30
you know that old saying those that
97:32
don’t know history are brown repeat the
97:33
state yeah yeah but you know if you look
97:37
back at why all of these people do what
97:40
they do and do what they did a lot of
97:42
those factors still exist today so like
97:44
yeah like Kwame Toure Stokely Carmichael
97:49
Marcus Garvey Malcolm X you know as far
97:53
as you know Martin Luther King I just
97:56
recently
97:56
to his Museum in Atlanta last year and
97:58
he was a very diminutive man he’s very
98:01
short
98:01
well I’m six five but a lot of people
98:03
sure to me but I was I was upset because
98:07
at some point you gotta say fuck you
98:11
let’s fight you know if you gotta go out
98:14
you got to go out but you gotta stand up
98:16
for yourself yeah that’s what I didn’t
98:17
like you know first of all Gandhi was a
98:20
fucking horrible racist son of a bitch
98:22
yes for him to like bobble himself after
98:27
somebody but Gandhi thought a lot less
98:29
of him then he thought of Gandhi and the
98:33
you know I’m all about you know let’s do
98:37
this in a peaceful manner because that
98:38
is my heart and soul but I also believe
98:41
that there’s a point where if your life
98:44
is directly threatened you need to be
98:46
the most violent motherfucker life if
98:48
you want to live and so that’s why I
98:51
gravitate more to those guys that
98:54
willing to like let’s go versus to turn
98:58
the other cheek fuck that you shot
99:00
another cheek well and that’s it if only
99:03
as a deterrent right like even if it’s
99:04
not I’m gonna kill all of you it’s I
99:06
will kill you if you do this to me so
99:09
don’t do it to me let’s find a peaceful
99:11
way to do it the first person that I
99:12
thought of when whenever I’m asked about
99:14
like you know the greats and in you know
99:17
the black revolutionaries and I’m like
99:19
well in my mind the first like effective
99:22
black revolutionary is nat turner and no
99:25
one likes to hear that no one likes to
99:28
hear that or very few people like to
99:30
hear that but he was the first black guy
99:33
that white people in power were actually
99:38
scared of up until then it was a
99:41
combination of you know hatred of fear
99:47
but fear but in like a sort of an
99:50
abstract sense like well you know we
99:51
can’t let these people free because
99:53
they’re a bunch of savages but not
99:54
actual fear of them they didn’t fear
99:55
them at all but I’m gonna go off on a
99:58
bit of a tangent my wife and I went to a
100:00
rice museum in Georgetown and they were
100:02
talking about the history of it’s
100:04
basically a slavery museum because it
100:05
was you know rice and and lavender and
100:08
stuff that they that they grew there
100:10
and they talked about the fact that at
100:12
the time black people slaves outnumbered
100:15
the white people the Free People
100:16
something like eight to one and they
100:18
showed the guns that they’d give the
100:20
slaves so that they could kill crows to
100:23
keep away from the crops and if they
100:24
killed the crow they’d be able to keep
100:25
the crow and that they and that many of
100:28
the the overseers were unarmed the white
100:31
overseers were unarmed and they would
100:34
give you know they give guns to the the
100:37
slaves throughout numbered the white
100:39
people so at one point black people who
100:42
owned guns outnumbered white people
100:45
period two to one in Georgetown and they
100:49
had the guns and their thought being
100:53
enslaved dying at half the age that the
100:55
white people did because they were being
100:57
forced to touch um wasn’t lavender um it
101:01
was what they used to make blue dye
101:02
maybe it was lavender but they would
101:03
actually get poisoned from it so they
101:05
died in their 20s while the white people
101:07
were living in their 50s at the time and
101:09
the only thing that these black people
101:11
were thinking because they were so
101:13
conditioned to it was oh wow he gave me
101:14
a gun I might be able to kill a crow
101:16
with it so they weren’t scared of black
101:20
people as I guess my only point uh you
101:23
know they weren’t scared of black people
101:24
nat turner made them scared and it
101:26
actually made them kind of think oh wait
101:28
a minute maybe we need to treat them we
101:30
need to and he actually and this is a
101:32
largely unknown part of southern slavery
101:35
history it was the nat turner brigades
101:37
that actually helped lead to some of the
101:40
rules that required some level of
101:44
treatment and welfare for for slaves so
101:47
up until then it wasn’t quite as strict
101:49
and it was actually triggered in part by
101:51
people saying if we don’t start treating
101:53
these people better they’re gonna all do
101:55
this and this was before the Civil War
101:57
before emancipation any of that before
102:01
Lincoln was even on the stage it was it
102:03
was almost it now they also then turn
102:05
around and crack down on on freed slaves
102:08
who were talking about ending slavery
102:09
but but another thing they did was start
102:12
treating their slaves with a little bit
102:13
more respect
102:14
not because they respected them but
102:16
because they actually feared oh wait a
102:17
second they could actually get guns and
102:19
start doing guerrilla warfare against us
102:21
and and you know we
102:24
soft flesh – we can we could we could
102:25
die today um so I I actually that was
102:29
the first person I thought of but um and
102:30
then the last follower grant today’s his
102:34
birthday by the way
102:34
is it really yeah what a dick happy
102:38
birthday nat turner so last question uh
102:41
from the follower and then I’m gonna do
102:43
the my fellow Americans
102:44
but the final my fellow Americans but
102:46
the last quote is there any part of
102:48
government that you think is necessary
102:50
and couldn’t be provided better by the
102:52
free market only because the free market
103:01
like our point of Blackwater and you
103:05
know they’re mindless killing of
103:07
innocent people but there needs to be a
103:12
standing military in the sense that
103:15
there are threats global threats that
103:17
the government has created and until
103:19
those global threats or have no law
103:24
until they no longer exist there needs
103:27
to be some sort of military to respond
103:31
in a defensive manner like I don’t
103:35
believe in offensive actions right
103:38
because uh you know our interest when
103:42
you you know you know the United States
103:44
is in the in the Middle East like hard
103:47
and we’re actually exporting oil which I
103:50
don’t understand if we have the
103:53
capability to export oil why do we need
103:57
to have our interests in the Middle East
104:01
when we could be a self-contained energy
104:03
producer right and oh I do believe we
104:07
need to have a military force capable of
104:09
responding to a imminent threat or
104:13
something to that regard but that’s the
104:15
only true everything else I’m not you
104:20
know it was funny when the FDA was shut
104:23
down as part of the government shutdown
104:24
last year in December and a winner last
104:27
winner yeah what he died but when
104:33
they’re in full force and fully
104:34
enforcing laws you know I think
104:37
more than two dozen people died last
104:39
year from eating fucked-up salads but
104:42
when they were off nobody died no one
104:45
died and there were no and there were no
104:46
there were no birds out either which
104:48
makes you wonder about the birds or
104:51
sighs yeah but um well yeah so it’s one
104:54
thing again like you said it’s one thing
104:55
to say you know we need a standing
104:57
military just to protect us from you
104:59
know defensive defensively against
105:01
threats I don’t think we doesn’t
105:02
necessarily need to protect the Saudi
105:04
Kingdom or or Israel which is Israel has
105:08
a per capita income comparable to like
105:12
France and Italy and in in Germany and
105:16
and the u k– like they’re like a
105:17
european level of prosperity and I’m a
105:21
Jew so I mean I I have nothing against
105:23
Israeli or you know the Israelis or the
105:25
you know I mean I have distant relatives
105:29
in Israel there’s no need for Americans
105:32
to be dying and fighting and killing to
105:35
protect a wealthy country that
105:38
themselves have a very impressive
105:39
military considering their sides there’s
105:41
no reason for that
105:42
yeah and and why every day we’re sitting
105:46
on what is it four billion dollars a day
105:47
it’s like would you feed your neighbors
105:49
kids before you fed you’re wrong yeah we
105:51
have all these needs and all these
105:54
problems here you know because I’m
105:56
completely against foreign aid yeah like
106:00
in a natural disaster some sort of
106:02
emergency because all that does is it
106:05
creates puppets and if you have to
106:08
borrow money to give it to somebody else
106:10
you know who does that in real life
106:12
right only good yes yeah
106:16
foreign aid was Ron Paul that said
106:18
foreign aid is the government robbing
106:21
poor people in the US to give to rich
106:24
wealthy people in foreign countries you
106:26
know cuz it’s not like it’s going
106:27
directly to poor people it’s going to
106:29
their governments who then become
106:31
corrupted by it so the whole thing they
106:32
mess but so you have been an amazing

on this is really cool
109:18
my family was excited for me my
109:21
co-workers and everything the only one
109:24
or the only thing I would like to like
109:26
really add to this great conversation
109:29
that we have is for my American fellow
109:34
Americans don’t be satisfied with your
109:37
government your government should be
109:40
working at the complete behest of you
109:43
yeah I heard somebody say one time the
109:46
only people who don’t have a lobbyist in
109:50
Washington DC or any of your state
109:53
capitals is the American people every
109:56
enterprise every industry every day
110:01
you could think of that is ran by a
110:04
corporation as a lobbyist that has your
110:08
congressman your senator your
110:10
president’s ear at their beck and call
110:12
based on the monetary givings of that
110:16
entity it set for you if you’re not
110:21
gonna hold your government accountable
110:23
for them miss spending your money or
110:26
them killing your fellow citizen we’re
110:30
all in the same line now some of us have
110:33
different positions in that line but
110:34
we’re all in the same line eventually
110:36
they’re gonna come around and pull your
110:39
number so when you see a guy like Botham
110:43
John get killed in his home while the
110:50
government sits here and makes excuses
110:52
and you were like well yeah the
110:53
government is right you can expect one
110:56
day that you or somebody you love to be
110:59
subject to the same treatment right and
111:01
you’re complicit you’re you’re complicit
111:07
actions without government to get away
111:10
with that it will touch you one day and
111:13
that’s all I really want to say is like
111:15
hold your government accountable you
111:17
can’t vote for the same people over and
111:20
over again and expect different results
111:21
everybody’s heard that shit before the
111:23
lesser two evils all that bullshit vote
111:26
for somebody new especially if you’re in
111:27
California California is a foregone
111:29
conclusion that no matter on the
111:32
national scale who you vote for is going
111:35
blue so why don’t you take your vote and
111:38
vote for a third party so they could at
111:40
least open up that stage to a third
111:43
person in the libertarian party whatever
111:45
it is so we can finally getting some
111:49
honesty out of these politicians because
111:50
they don’t have to be honest with you
111:52
all they have to do is the other guy on
111:54
the other side is wrong and that’s all
111:56
they do
111:57
so why not give your vote to somebody
111:59
who’s gonna make these people actually
112:01
bring forth ideas and not criticisms of
112:05
the guys on the other side so and live
112:08
free or die look free or die absolutely
