The Idea Of A Free Society...For Kids!
Head to https://bit.ly/teach-freedom for a unique book series that introduces the important ideas that schools no longer teach. Show less
We're actually better at dancing than at comedy, unfortunately.
This is the reality.
My name is Elijah Schaefer.
We've got a great episode for you.
As I just mentioned, you can all celebrate today because systemic racism is over.
And the designer of this handbag, he's gay, he's trans.
He's all the letters of the alphabet, not just the LGBTQ, he's the LMNOP, the QRS, the TUV, the WX, the Y, and the Z. JP Sears, comedian, YouTuber, welcome to Nightly Offensive for the first time.
Yeah, by the way, now that you mentioned that, like the LGBTQ with like no vowels, I've, it always, I think it makes a lot of people feel like they're dyslexic.
So it's kind of like a false sort of, like a false positive on the dyslexia self-diagon, which I'm sure has caused trouble worldwide.
And by the way, just so that you can be reminded of how great the world is going before we even get into anything, obviously, you know, the prices of things are going up.
Life's getting expensive.
People are bitching and complaining in the public.
Oh, you know, I want luxuries like meat for my family and diapers for my children.
And like, oh, I wish I could, I want to be able to afford to live in a home for my family, you know, just complaining about just the most ridiculous things.
It's like grow up already, you know, homeless people exist.
You should try it.
But Noema magazine, this is really important, actually decided that people around the world, because of the society, are beginning to join eco-villages.
That's what they're calling them.
They're coming together, which is really good news for us.
Neighbors are sharing responsibilities like farming and child care.
They're coming together.
Why?
Because climate change is making them search for a more sustainable experience.
So it turns out everyone is just complaining and should probably buy less Starbucks.
The reason why people are like buying less stuff, eating less steak, and like moving in together and like sharing apartments is because they're trying to prevent the planet from melting.
I found that out today.
I didn't know it.
I thought it had to do with the economy and the fact that it's impossible to afford to exist.
But that was good news that everybody isn't being selfish and they really are just looking out for the planet.
I also like, you know, somebody actually said, how do you podcast?
And I said, well, you don't really have to talk about anything.
You just, because you basically copy the model of everything else in the world, which is like, you don't have to know anything.
You don't quite even have to make any good points.
And it doesn't even have to be true.
You just kind of like sit there and talk and kind of like use, you do a lot of these and say like, well, you know, I really think if it was when, and then you just kind of like, whatever comes out is fine.
Even if you were, even if you lied and it causes deaths, kills people, like it ruins lives.
Children have learning disabilities.
There's basically no accountability because if it happens on the internet, then it's, then you basically, there's no responsibility.
And I'll tell you, another thing that I think is very helpful for podcasting is like you say something that I'm mostly not paying attention to, but like I pick up a word or two and I associate that word with some random memory or piece of knowledge I have.
And then I add that to the conversation.
So it helps wind around in a circle that goes nowhere, but is somehow both attention grabbing and attention violating at the same time, which is helpful for the podcast, potentially detrimental for the listeners, but I think it's about us, not them.
At this point, the average person in the public here in Australia has more boosters than my audience has IQ points after what we've gone through the last few years.
But before we talk about that, I want to give a huge shout out to our sponsor for today.
Guys, you got to understand the most important part about life is God.
But second behind God is not your wife.
It's the boxers that you wear.
And I'm not exaggerating because how are you going to please your wife?
How are you going to create a family?
How are you going to have a destiny if you don't keep your family jewels protected?
I'm not talking about in those liberty safes that give the codes to the FBI.
I'm talking about a lockbox that keeps them both air-rated, secure, but the perfect amount of dry and the perfect amount of room to breathe.
Yes, your balls can breathe.
Other people may not be able to, but I'm talking about Undertak boxers.
When you go to undertack.com and use promo code Offensive20, you can get access to the most comfortable pair of underwear that you will ever experience.
Not only that, they're made with Modal, which essentially is, you know, like cotton on steroids.
These are like the ultimate male masculine boxers.
You're not going to find any models on here, you know, with bananas stuffed in their pants.
You won't find rainbow waistbands.
These are battle forces tested, used by many veterans, started and founded by people who love America and free speech.
And most importantly, they love you being comfortable because what says you love America more than making sure that men are comfortable every day?
They don't ride up.
They don't stretch.
They don't lose elasticity.
They don't shrink in the washer.
And the best part is they don't peel.
They're about 30 to 40% cheaper than the competition as well with the same quality.
Go to undertack.com, UNDRTAC.com, promo code Offensive20.

All right, we've got to talk about our top story for today.
Is comedy dead?
It looks like free speech is tested at the precipice of what's allowed on the comedy stage, but have we gone too far?
jp sears guests all right let's talk about this As we mentioned, my guess is JP Sears, and you would know this.
Comedy is obviously not dead.
In fact, it's never died because there's nothing funny about this.
We played this at the beginning of the show, but I want to get your initial thoughts on the fact that we have this designer bag that ends systemic racism.
And I know actually you were crying.
You actually thought about canceling your appearance on the show.
You were crying before the show.
You saw this.
It moved you.
Can you explain to me what you think about this?
And tell me exactly where on the doll this bag touched you because I'm sure it felt good just looking at how much it's moved my heart.
Yeah, you know, I think the back story someone making a bag completely undesirable looking, which I think, you know, it bypasses our privilege, which is necessary to end racism.
And them being willing to sell it for their profit to end racism.
It just, I mean, it touches my heart.
Like the, I would say, like the neglected, super greedy part of my heart that just needs attention.
So that's the part of my heart that was stimulated.
And I'm, I mean, what the gypsies are now ending climate change.
The person that sells these handbags for their profit is ending racism.
I didn't know it was going to be that easy, but like, why didn't we make handbags sooner?
It was weird too because I thought, man, we went through so much trouble in 2020.
Like, I mean, the George Floyd being killed or dying from fentanyl, I don't know.
But the idea was, is like, we could have, we didn't even need to go through the billions of dollars in damage, dozens of people killed, the race relations worsening.
Like, if we just had a handbag company that would have come in and just said, hey, end it.
Like, just like, if you think about it, this, what if Prada CEO went on CNN and just said, hey, stop it.
I think we would have been in a much better place far sooner.
And I just think if BLM stepped up to the plate, you know, there was a lot of money that they embezzled.
And instead of buying mansions and all kinds of luxury real estate for themselves, they could have taken that money they robbed from donors and made handbags.
You know, and I want to say this: you know, I know like George Floyd's death, people getting murdered is obviously horrible.
But one thing that has kept me alive these last three years, no pun intended, has been the state of comedy.
We've gotten introduced to this new form of comedy called claptivism, which I'm blessed with, you're blessed with.
I've considered stopping attending church just to go to more of these shows so I could be closer to God.
Because in many ways, being closer to these comedians is being closer to God because they believe they're gods more than even a lot of Christians think they're Christians.
And so let me play this video for you.
This is what is on Netflix special, what has been passed off as comedy today.
And we're going to talk about the current state of comedy and how we got here.
Listen to this.
unidentified
But I would say, if you're ever stuck with someone who doesn't understand the difference between gender and biological sex and you're trying to explain it, the way I picture it is I picture like the gender spectrum with all its infinite variety.
Do you remember Gaston from Beauty and the Beast?
He's like, no one fights like Gaston, that guy.
So he's at one end of the hyper-masculine end of the gender spectrum.
At the other end, you have Belle, who has Stockholm Syndrome.
So dark.
But she's still, no, guys, she's still an excellent role model because she can read.
She loves the book.
And then in the middle of the spectrum, you have the candlestick.
And I really relate to the candlestick.
They're awesome.
Like, Lumiere is the best.
And obviously, the more you empower Lumiere, the more fun Gaston and Bell are going to have.
I mean, also, first off, did she steal Dave Chappelle's jokes?
Those are so good.
Yeah, man.
How did we get here?
I think, you know, the first question could be: how did that comedy special on someone's screen?
And my guess is it probably wasn't because of merit, a fan base, Netflix talent scouts, like finding, like, hey, this is a great comedian.
This will really boost our, you know, the quality of our comedy offerings.
My guess is it was woke Netflix executive talent scouts, you know, product scouts, finding someone like, this is going to check a box.
This person obviously is non-binary.
That's evident.
I think they're non-binary.
And here's their content.
It's, you know, like you said, it's claptivism.
It's not comedy.
So that's probably the answer to why is that special in front of people?
Like the old days, you know, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle, Tom Segura, like their specials are in front of you.
They are on Netflix because they are great.
So this one, I think, just checks diversity boxes and it's inclusive.
It's woke.
So, dear Lord.
So how I think we got here is the woke mob.
They've intimidated companies, people into, I think, a fear-based mindset of if they don't acquiesce to a certain amount of woke propaganda on their platforms, then they're fearful of backlash.
They're fearful of what the rage mob could do of these all-loving people that will express a lot of vile hate and try to ruin companies and ruin people's lives.
So, man, and how we got here, like the bigger question, like, why does that happen?
Why is there a woke rage mob?
And why do people coward to the woke rage mob, whether they're Netflix or individuals?
I think, man, Elijah, I'd say the old saying, I'm sure you and I have both heard it a million times.
What the hell is it?
Hard times create strong men.
Strong men create good times.
Good times create weak men.
Weak men create hard times.
Hard times create strong men.
I think we've been in a good time for a long time.
And I think a lot of weak people have been bred out of that.
So right now, I think there's a lot of weak people and weak consciousness in our country that is currently creating hard times.
So I think that sort of generational cycle is ultimately how we got here.
Well, yeah, I want to, my perspective is, is not that important.
It's like, I want to, I'm going to pause here for a second because it is crazy to me how quickly we've changed.
And I mean this in the most interesting way.
You know, like a lot of times people say, oh, Elijah, you've changed.
And I say, no, you've changed.
In fact, my humor has stayed the same since 2003, whether you like it or not.
That's where I've been.
Okay.
I find it funny.
Maybe because I'm a guy, maybe because I'm immature.
But I'm not really affected by the moment in terms of, I'm not going to change my verbiage, my language to meet your sensitivities because I'm a reasonable guy, and I know what reasonable sensitivities are.
And what's crazy to me is they go, well, you know, how could you say what you do on your show?
You know, are you anti-today?
I got called a Jew lover and an anti-Semite two DMs apart.
One said, you're a Jew lover and one, I mean, one called me an anti-Semite.
So I go, how did we get here, right?
Where you're accused of everything.
Somebody sent me this whole long thing saying, as a Jew, you need to explain yourself.
I posted it publicly.
They wrote me against it.
Why are you going to post it for clout?
And I said, because I'm not a Jew.
Like, where did you get that I was Jewish?
People just make shit up and they don't even care.
But I do, I am reminded of the fact that, you know, outside of the Israeli-Hamas conflict, when everyone was divided, you know, I remember better days when we were just divided based on whether you were vaccinated or not, right?
Better days when we were just divided on whether you were Trump or Biden.
I miss the other divisions.
This division is no fun.
But if we want to bring everything together, Jews, Hamas, comedy, let's talk about one of the most famous comedians, Sarah Silverman.
This is just several decades ago, right?
I think this is 2003.
I might be off on the year.
This is on a network television show on TV, YouTube censors.
You can take this down, but this is from network television.
And this is what passed as comedy just a couple years ago.
Listen to this from the Woke Hollywood Elite.
unidentified
But I mean, that's not really true because, I mean, like that whole midget thing.
Right.
I just was touched by that.
A while ago, I had a joke that had the N-word in it.
You know what I'm talking about?
It had the N-word in it.
And I thought it was so cool and so hip and edgy, you know?
And I was doing it all around.
And then I was at Caroline's and I was doing my set.
And there was a table of black people sitting in the front row.
Actually, I think they were African American.
And I didn't do the joke.
I couldn't bring myself to do the joke.
And then you have to ask yourself, well, is that a really an edgy joke or is that a racist joke?
And I didn't do the joke because I feared them.
And I, I mean, but I, I ended up changing the joke because of that to chinks.
Now, people might think, we live in a sensitive culture.
It calls you out, says you should be canceled for probably doing a lighter version of what she did.
But then, you know, you mentioned people ask you like, well, Elijah, you change.
Why is that?
And you said, no, I didn't change.
And I think like Sarah Silverman, she probably do edgy jokes like that today, probably not even close out of fear of being canceled, fear of being kicked out of whatever sort of Hollywood industrial complex she's trying to be a part of, which is, to your point, she changed and she represents so many people.
And a weirdo like you or a weirdo like me, like we're like kind of just still doing our thing.
We haven't acquiesced to the political correctness, which is then like morphed into a bigger tumor called wokeness.
So a lot of people have.
They let themselves get blown by this very weak, pathetic breeze.
And there they are half a mile down the road yelling at us like, why did you change positions?
It's like, well, I've been standing here the whole time.
So that old clip from her, I think that's just evident.
Like that's how she naturally is.
That's her sense of humor.
Why did you change Elijah?
I didn't.
She's the one that changed.
And of course, she probably represents a lot of narrative believing people.
Well, yeah, but also too, like, you know, why can't we get back to the fact that everybody's on the table to be made fun of?
Like, you know, the one thing that I love about the Hamas-Israeli conflict is like, when did we get into a point as Americans where comedy became bad?
The only person I know that's actually taken the jump to make to make genuine jokes about this conflict is Michael Nalis, who's not even a comedian.
But when he posted a picture of George Floyd and Matthew Perry in heaven with babies with Palestinian and Israeli flags on them and saying, welcome to heaven, little angels.
I went, I like almost choked because I was like, dude, that's the most fucked up.
That is, that is so evil and horrible, but it's funny in terms of it's because it's evil, because it's so outlandish, because it's so crazy, I can actually laugh at it.
But it's like when, and I want to play this, it's when you can't tell the difference between reality and satire is why I think people are so easily offended.
Because it's like when you could tell that something was a joke, even if it was horrible, you could still like uncomfortably laugh at it.
You know, check your shoulder, like make sure you're not going to get jumped while you're laughing.
But now you can't tell what's real or not.
Half the time I'm watching the news, I think I'm being pranked.
And I think it's, I think Ashton Kutcher's going to come out and be like, ha, I'm just joking.
And you're like, actually, no, you're not on a prank show.
You're watching CNN, which I might say today is variably funnier than MTV's, you know, or any prank show they've ever put on.
But it's like, dude, do you know what I'm saying here?
Where like, that's the problem is when she's saying chink and all this stuff, it's like, that's so outlandish that it's funny.
But today, people genuinely are just so ridiculous that I think everybody's a comedian.
Yeah, you know, a good enough comedian, you can apply the science of and creating a joke in any setting, like a difficult setting, you know, relationship setting, racial setting.
There's a science to creating laughter.
And if you can do it, if you're a good enough humor scientist that you can do that in a tough area where, you know, a lot of people are mean in that area.
But if you're a brilliant comedian, you can use the science to craft humor with that.
That's part of the brilliance of comedy.
But to your point of people not being able to distinguish between reality and satire.
I don't think people have gotten dumber.
I think they just use your intelligence less.
I think we have the same intelligent capabilities that we have for decks, but we don't access our prefrontal cortex because so many people are just narrative brainwashed and they're obedient to, okay, this is what we are offended with and this is what we stand with right now.
Ukraine, just we stand with Ukraine.
We're offended by everything.
You know, that's a brainstem phenomenon.
That's your reptilian brain, which is just emotional and reactive and fear-based.
And when that's activated, people don't have access to their prefrontal cortex, their intelligence that could decipher reality, satire.
And oh, I can follow the science of this humor.
And even if it's a great comedian crafting the science of humor in a difficult situation and it's like brilliantly done, if you're just emotionally reactive because your reptilian brain is dominant in that moment, you're not going to understand the science.
You're just ragefully blind to it.
And I think that's why people don't tell the difference between satire and reality because they're just emotionally reactive rather than accessing their prefrontal cortex with their intelligence.
Well, yeah, look, here's Bill Maher even saying the N-word on TV with the soft R, Susan Wajecki.
I don't think she's in charge anymore.
Whatever the Indian is, whatever, whatever.
Mr. Patel, here you go.
Check this out.
unidentified
Every song on the radio, okay?
The nigga, is in every song, okay?
People come up to me and go, Bill, you a nigga.
But I can't say thank you, or I go, no, please don't use that word, or I can't use that word back.
There's a rock, there's a rap group, niggas with attitude.
My mother said to me, NWA, she said, what does that mean?
So I have to say, mom, it means something with attitude.
I mean, I'm saying when the word has come this far into the mainstream for a very good reason, they co-opted the word to make it less powerful in a hurtful way.
Where we've gotten to a position to like where you can't even say words anymore when you're explaining them.
It's sort of like the women, right?
Like Matt Walsh pointed out, where when you're trying to define what a woman is, they keep using the word woman.
And so like with the N-word, we have the phrase for, we have a words to say the word, the N-word, meaning a word should only matter in its context, right?
Because I've always said this, you know, like if you're like a little, like a little Baptist Christian kid and you call, you know, well, you're just an ugly tree stump.
It's like, well, is tree stump offensive?
No.
Is ugly offensive on its own?
No.
But if you're a little kid and you're trying not to curse and use bad words, what is the problem with what you're saying as a parent?
When I'm disciplining you, I'm disciplining you because you might not have said fuck or some random word.
You might not have, you know, used the N-word, but what your heart was to be mean to that little girl and you tried to use something to be mean.
It was the intention.
The fact that even back just 15, 20 years ago, you could still talk about words on TV and use them because you're not using them in a negative derogatory context.
You're not demeaning black people.
Or it's in comedy you could use them because you're trying to be funny, not be mean.
Today, you can't even use words on the internet or TV or even in person to even discuss them, like to even discuss them, or you will literally, this video will get taken down.
If I say the N-word on this video, it will get taken down by YouTube as a white person.
Even if I'm talking, even if I'm condemning it, it'll still get taken down.
Man, I don't know is the most accurate answer, but what I can is words are symbols meant to convey meaning and as you said, intention.
And it used to be when we were humble, we would do our best to understand the meaning and intention that people are conveying the word in.
And, you know, the context helps us understand their meaning and intention.
It takes humbleness to do that.
Like, oh, you are the author of what you're trying to say.
Now, I think people have, not everybody, but people who are kind of sewers of outrage and cancel culture, they have a tyrannical mentality.
I mean, this is the time of the tyrants.
You look at tyrants trying to take over all these countries in the world, including the U.S., trying to run tyrannically.
And individuals are doing that too.
It's a very tyrannical, arrogant, narcissistic mindset to say, oh, Elijah, I heard what you just said.
Here's what you meant by what you just said.
I will tell you what you meant and what your intentions.
And now you're at my mercy.
I'm the tyrant.
You're the peasant.
I'm beating you, telling you what you did wrong.
And you're like, well, no, you got my meaning incorrect.
Like, nope, I know what you meant.
I don't know what you meant.
I'm the one that heard your words.
You're just the one that said them.
So, man, yeah, I think we used to, a lot of people were like, they try to understand what you're saying, but now there's a lazy, very tyrannical mindset that doesn't want to understand what people are meaning.
They just want to tell them what they're meaning.
Easier to try to assert a sense of power and control over them that way, which is, of course, the hallmark of a tyrannical consciousness.
And I want to talk a little bit about how they get control of speech, though, through this new fact-checking, or as we call them now, community notes.
But before we get into that, I want to give a huge shout out to one of our sponsors for today, which is My Vital C. Guys, if you're over the age of 25 years old and you've been finding yourself getting a little bit bad sleep, maybe a little bit less energy, maybe you're feeling yourself waning in the afternoon.
You don't know what's going on, and you've tried coffee, you've tried energy drinks, and they're just not cutting it.
Well, I've got to talk to you about an amazing product called My Vital C, which just has two natural ingredients, the purest olive oil, and also this amazing ingredient called ESS60, which of course has been shown not only to increase focus, energy, and give you better sleep, but also honestly, for the most part, has lengthened the life of test subjects, including animals that has been tested on.
Now, the Biden administration wants to make this illegal, as always.
Every time we find a good product on here, I look it up and I find out that the FDA wants to ban it, but they don't want to ban the chemical.
They actually just want to regulate it and then give the patents to pharmaceutical companies so they can give it to you so that you can spend money that you don't need to spend.
But get it while you can.
Check it out at myvitalc.com slash offensive.
You can use my promo code offensive for $15 off.
You can check this out.
As right now, the ESS60 is the first known nano-antioxidant with nano-anti-inflammatory.
Much of the medical community looks at the overall health, specifically aging issues of oxidation, inflammation.
This is 125 times more powerful than vitamin C.
And of course, it has the longest longevity experimental result in history.
It's good for your mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
So, if you're looking for better sleep, if you've been feeling foggy and you're looking to remove the fog, I feel like that every day, honestly.
It's like you get over 25, you get over 30, you get over 40.
It just keeps getting worse.
I encourage you to try swapping out your tea, your coffee, your energy drink for something a lot healthier, something that's more natural, something that you can stick with for the long term.

If you're just joining the show today, I'm with JP Sears.
We're going to get into the matrix portion of this discussion on community notes, how unelected groups control speech.
let's get into it all right we're gonna start with a little test for you uh Obviously, we can't trust our eyes.
We can't trust our ears.
We can't even trust our spouses.
In fact, everyone could be lying to us on the internet.
We never really know what's truthful.
I'm going to play a video for you in the audience, and we'll probably not get through the whole thing, but I want you to try to watch carefully, monitor every bit of it, and you tell me if you think this is real or if you think this is a deep fake.
That's all I'm putting against my community notes.
It's true.
No, no, but that's the best thing.
So it is fake.
And I'm really, let me give a little, let me give a little celebratory here.
I'm really genuinely shocked.
I'm genuinely shocked you knew that.
But that's the funny part: you know, we have these fact-checking in these community notes, which you know, as a comedian, I'm sure you've gotten some of this on your own post.
We've gotten from a point of like, you know, this idea of needing to clarify to people things that may be deceptively, you know, spread for intentional, malicious, you know, harm.
For instance, like if it just got released on CNN that, you know, Israel killed 50,000 Palestinians tonight, and that's objectively untrue, then it would be important for someone to clarify, hey, that's a false report.
That's not true.
That's not what happened.
It wasn't 50,000.
It was 10,000.
But then you go on and you say, okay, that's not cool.
But now they're going with fact-checking and they're taking videos like this and clarifying this is a doctored video.
This is the new phrase.
This was edited, right?
And it's not about clarifying the reports.
It's about giving control or about like, you know, it's about, you're married, you have a wife.
It's about being the wife of the internet and making sure you track every little detail and you correct every little thing, right?
Have you experienced fact checking?
And do you feel like this has gotten out of control?
And I've certainly experienced fact checking on my videos.
Some of my videos, you go on YouTube or wherever.
I mean, primarily YouTube.
And, you know, there's, you know, if I'm making fun of COVID narratives on the video, there's the little freaking not only fact check, but also here is the link to find out accurate information on COVID.
It's the CVC website and some of the stats have objectively proven to be true, but go to this website.
It's just thought police, just policing, asserting the control.
And I mean, police brutality is like, I mean, the thought police brutality is the real issue here.
Yeah, I think one of the interesting things is, is like with the fact check, I want to bring this up.
Like three year letterman, I brought this up, is a clearly a satire account, right?
And he's making jokes like about Ukraine and Israel.
They are both fellow NATO members, Senator.
We are constitutionally required and obligated to treat them the same.
And the joke is just like the fact that, you know, everybody is pro-Russia, pro-Ukraine, pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian, pro-Israel.
And somebody's trying to come in here and just be like, dude, can we just like for a second make a joke and just like, let's make a joke about the obligation America has to fund foreign wars.
That's the joke, right?
It's that we, in our constitution, we are obligated to support foreign countries because they're both NATO members.
And community notes has to come and say, actually, this is a joke.
They're not actually NATO members.
And it's like, to me, this is more of a review of how dumb people are than a review of anybody, right?
And dumb people with a tyrannical mindset, a little too much narcissism, probably weren't held enough as babies.
Super dumb people want to control.
And like, could you imagine if you're performing at a comedy club, you're doing an hour-long set, and you've got, you know, a bunch of jokes for the set.
And each time you're in the middle of a joke, lady in the front row raises her hand.
Excuse me, excuse me, that's not true.
That didn't happen.
It's like, yeah, there's made-up stuff in all these jokes.
There's truth.
It's based on truth, but there's, it's a joke.
It's not meant to be an accurate portrayal of reality.
Yeah, and we have, I think I want to bring this up here.
Where is this?
The reason why this is dangerous, and this is why people say, well, why do you complain about this?
The reason why I bring this up is because obviously Elon Musk said the same thing that a lot of websites say, making a slight change to creator monetization.
Any posts that are corrected by community notes become ineligible for revenue share.
The idea is to maximize the incentive for accuracy over sensationalism.
Now, that would be cool.
And I also agree if community notes was used or fact-checking was used to correct mistakes.
But we have all these new ways they correct speech now, like missing context, right?
Which is essentially them saying, did you know that in this tweet of only 160 characters, they were unable to fit the entire encyclopedia inside of it.
Or this, which is a joke, I put this up.
I thought this was funny.
And I don't know why people thought this was real.
It's a clearly Photoshop rainbow flag that says, my pussy is open for refugees and has this white.
It's a famous old picture.
Community notes came in and it's like, this photo has been digitally manipulated.
The original photo was taken during a refugee support rally in the Canadian city of Saskatoon, of Saskatoon.
I don't know how to say it in September 2015.
And it shows a woman wearing a sign that says, my door is open for refugees.
And for me, it's like, I posted this as a joke.
Like, do you really think a woman says, my pussy?
No, no left-wing person is saying this, but that's, but this is my point.
They have to clarify because someone believes this is real because leftists have gotten so out of control.
And in my head, I'm like, oh, this is clearly a joke.
But some community notes person is like, actually, leftists are so out of control that perhaps people would believe this is real.
What is that saying about the progressives in the world if they have to keep clarifying that us making fun of them is fake?
They don't even trust that people can realize it's a joke.
And you know, and I'm going to be a little biased.
I think certainly the left, especially the radical left, they've gotten super weak on all levels.
I mean, physically, you look at the average body composition and, of course, celebrating body positivity, which is basically saying, hey, the weaker I am, the stronger I am.
Good for me.
And we've gotten weak mentally.
We've gotten so lazy.
We're used to like, let's outsource our point of view and outsource our thinking to the news and what the narrative tells me.
And that way, I won't have to think and go through nuances, which sometimes feels uncomfortable and it burns calories.
So it's just, I'll outsource my thinking.
And the more we do that, that's like an able-bodied person walking with crutches.
And I do feel a little bit weird, though, because I want to talk about a couple of funny videos.
So to lighten the mood, as we end the show for the last segment of the show, let's look at some funny things because it's JP and we can't just be doom and gloom.
Here are videos that made me laugh.
I hope they make you laugh too.
Okay, this is not supposed to be funny.
And I don't even care if you're what your political stance is.
I'm a Trump guy.
You can be whoever you want.
But Ron DeSantis was on Patrick Bette David's podcast.
Good podcast.
Ron DeSantis is a stand-up guy.
I like him.
I like Patrick Bet David too.
They're both good guys.
But I could not help but laugh at the utter state of American politics.
I'm not even going to give you a prelude to what this clip is.
Let's just watch this and discuss a candidate for the United States presidency is on one of the most popular podcasts.
JP is like the state of American political discourse has come to the fact that we're trying to figure out whether Ron DeSantis puts lifters in his feet so he looks taller, so he's more impressive on the stage.
And the only reason why I know the Farragamo, or I don't even know if I pronounced it right, was because one time during COVID, the peaceful protesters looted a Farragamo store in Beverly Hills, and I watched them loot it.
So I know what that is.
I know it's an expensive store.
They looted it.
But it's like, I'm not even rich enough to be in a conversation about this.
And that's what I feel like I come from an era where politicians should be slightly humble.
And the way he just casually threw off the Lucchese boots, that's what I'm worried about.
I'll just end on this video here because this is absolutely fantastic.
You've talked to me before, and you've told me you're a big connoisseur of fountains.
Everybody knows JP Sears loves a good historic fountain.
This is a fountain from historic Vienna.
This is, I think, from 1919 or 1923, somewhere around there.
This was the fountain they commemorated in front of City Hall.
Very beautiful.
You know, these were horny buggers.
They didn't have pornhub and stuff, so they were just molding naked women everywhere they could.
It was nice, sus, you know, you don't get it.
You get away with it from the wife because it's beautiful, but they just got boobs out everywhere.
We know about Western history.
It is over.
Vienna just created a new fountain that is to celebrate, and we're going to end on this video to commemorate 150 years, same city about like a few meters away to commemorate 150 years of bringing water into the town.
Let's go ahead and let's watch.
I would say the same quality of the artistic filming of this was probably the person who designed it.
And I got to tell you this.
We're going to end on this note.
The city of Vienna got it for a steal of 1.8 million euros that was built for 1.8 million euros of taxpayer-funded money.
