Time Text
Hello, everybody.
This is Thomas Anderson, and I'm sitting here with...
Matthew Anderson.
And we are cutting this new intro.
The show you're about to hear, and the...
Okay, there's nothing new except for this on the first six, seven episodes of this show.
We had originally called this Please Only One Lie at a Time, and that's what it's referred to as throughout the first series of episodes.
We had recorded that when we had other goals for the show.
We were going to do one shitbag book a season, but life got in the way of recording a lot of stuff, and I had time to reflect.
And so we have changed the name of this to Gish Gallop Girl, which is what it's been posted as.
And you may have been referred here by someone who likes you or hates you.
I don't know.
Your life is your life, man.
I'm not going to step into it.
This is the new intro that's going to be running in the front of all those old shows.
You will know that you're in newer material when you hear us introduce the newer episodes as Gish Gallop Girl.
And that is all kind of explained and handled in what I believe is episode 8. Right now, I could be totally wrong on that, but I believe it's episode 8 that I'm about to post.
Where we explain the name change and we go through what the new goals of the show are, the new website, and all that good shit.
So, at any rate, this is just running for this.
We just wanted to say hi, and we will do our damnedest to have a new episode every single week.
That's all I got.
And also to try weird, nasty sodas every week as well.
Yep, yep, we're gonna, yep.
Ah, yeah.
Yep.
Alright, everybody, have a great night.
Alright, welcome once again to Please Only One Lie at a Time.
This is episode number two.
You may hear some birds in the background.
At any rate.
So today we're talking more about the Candace Owens book.
Blackout.
If you listened to the first episode, you know that we didn't get very far through the first couple pages.
So once again, my name is Thomas Anderson and I'm here with...
Matthew Anderson.
Matty.
I actually remembered it this time.
Yeah, we're actually recording this for the second time.
we had a little snafu on the first go-round namely I got some things wrong in fact I played the wrong clip for us to discuss so that that put a real damper on how
I saw the rest of the episode so we're gonna be talking today about more about
I'm just trying to find my place in the book here.
What we're going to be talking about today is...
One of the clips that I forgot was in the initial run of this, and it really does need to be heard to really put a pin in exactly who she is,
what kind of person she is, and so on.
So, while I go on here, do you have anything to say, Matthew?
No, I can't think of nothing.
Well, honestly, I can't think of nothing.
I'm not sure that's exact English, but, you know, you do you.
It's always funny getting stage fright over a recording.
Right.
He's fiddling with a cat right now.
Yeah.
One of the cats decided to come on in and...
Hang out.
Yeah.
But, um...
Yeah.
I thought something was a bit off about the first go-around with this.
Well, the clip that I played was unfortunately not the one that Candace Owens was actually speaking about, the one that Larry Elder is actually speaking about in his intro.
So that really put a weird hearing on things.
But speaking of hearings...
Here we have more from the full committee hearing on hate crimes and the rise of white nationalism.
Now, the first time that we played this for ourselves, an episode that none of you will ever hear, Candace, we started with the introduction that she gave to the committee hearing.
Now, this was a full committee hearing on hate crimes and the rise of white nationalism.
Yeah, it was back in 2018, I believe.
Streamed three years ago.
So this is currently 2023, so it was actually 2020.
Yeah, probably at the beginning.
Yeah.
So, this is, what you're about to hear is about three hours into the four-hour meeting.
Representative Ted Lieu is going to be talking.
He is a Democrat from California.
What he does is he actually plays in the halls of Congress, Candace Owens, in her own words, defending Adolf Hitler.
I'm going to play that clip now.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
In congressional hearings, the minority party gets to select its own witnesses.
And of all the people the Republicans could have selected...
They picked Candace Owens.
I don't know Miss Owens.
I'm not going to characterize her.
I'm going to let her own words do the talking.
So I'm going to play for you the first 30 seconds of a statement she made about Adolf Hitler.
I agree.
I actually don't have any problems at all with the word nationalism.
I think that the definition gets poisoned by leaders that actually want globalism.
Globalism is what I don't want.
Think about whenever we say nationalism, the first thing people think about, at least in America, is Hitler.
You know, he was a national socialist.
But if Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, okay, fine.
The problem is that he had dreams outside of Germany.
He wanted to globalize.
He wanted everybody to be German, everybody to be speaking German.
So, that was Ted Lieu playing Candace Owens.
Again, in the halls of Congress.
There's more because she did get the chance to talk about it.
All right, so my first question is to Ms. Khersonoff.
Ms. Owens said, quote, if Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, okay, fine.
The problem is that he wanted, he had dreams outside of Germany.
So when people try to legitimize Adolf Hitler, does that feed into white nationalist ideology?
Okay.
The speaker is Ms. Eileen Hershenoff, one of the many experts called forth by the Democrats.
I want to point out one more time here that the only expert witness that the Republicans called was Candace Owens.
It does, Mr. Liu.
I know that Ms. Owens distanced herself from those comments later, but we expressed great concern over the original comments.
Great, thank you.
So there's been a lot of talk today.
I'd like to focus on actual policy responses that our government can do to try to mitigate the threat of white people.
nationalism i know that in my district in los angeles just last month two swastikas were painted at pacific park along with the trail of blood i met with jewish constituents in my district okay
At their synagogues, they've all had an increased security.
As you know, there is a non-profit security grant program at the Department of Homeland Security.
Do you believe it would be worthwhile to increase funding to that program?
The ADL has, for establishment reasons, First Amendment reasons, been very cautious and wary of government funding to religious institutions.
I well understand the fear and the safety.
So I think that is something that has to be done very carefully in terms of one entanglement.
I know in the place where I, in Westchester County where I live, the state and local governments provide a great deal of protection to the synagogue to which I belong.
So I do understand and I would like to work more with Congress, but I want to caution about where we entangle.
This is a very difficult thing to do because when we're scared like this...
Of course.
So that is a great point you make, and I want to note that this program would apply to mosques as well as synagogues, so it is not specific to the religion.
But it is true, the First Amendment does affect...
So what we have there are measured, even responses from a woman who was representing the Jewish Anti-Defamation League.
Now, the ADL, as they're also called or known as, gets no end of just pure, vile vitriol from Republican and conservative sources.
Mr. Liu and a couple other guests go on.
I'm just going to skip ahead here to Candace Owens' response when she's asked about this.
By Mr. Reschenthaler.
Not sure if I'm saying his name right, but I also don't care all that much, so skip ahead.
Here we are.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I would yield my time to Mr. Reschenthaler from Pennsylvania.
Reschenthaler.
Thank you.
Ms. Owens, I'm sorry, we just started recording.
Would you like time to respond to that?
Yes, I think it's pretty apparent that Mr. Loop...
The witness will suspend for a moment.
It is not proper to refer disparagingly to a member of the committee.
The witness will not do that again.
The witness may continue.
Sure, even though I was called despicable.
The witness may not refer to a member of the committee as stupid.
I didn't refer to him as stupid.
That's not what I said.
That's not what I said at all.
You didn't listen to what I said.
May I continue?
Please.
As I said...
He is assuming that black people will not go pursue the full two-hour clip.
And he purposefully extracted, he cut off, and you didn't hear the question that was asked of me.
He's trying to present as if I was launching a defense of Hitler in Germany, when in fact, the question that was asked of me was pertaining to whether or not I believed in nationalism, and that nationalism was bad.
And what I responded to was that I do not believe that we should be characterizing Hitler as a nationalist.
He was a homicidal, psychopathic maniac.
Yeah, point in fact.
Nationalism actually does lead to people killing other people in their own country.
Yeah, so here's another big bullet point about how people like Candace Owens will often talk about their statements.
See, if you go after somebody like Candace Owens, who now has a TV show on the Daily Wire, gross.
She also has a podcast now, also gross.
I have not listened to the Candace Owens podcast.
There are a few things in life that I want to do less.
However, however, I will make this pact with the listeners.
If we get enough listeners that I can take a couple days off work a week, paying listeners on
that I can take a couple days off work a week, I will do a Knowledge Fight style once a week show where I break down Candace Owens'bullshit from her podcast because that's free.
Yeah.
I don't have to pay the Daily Wire for that.
At least it's free as far as I'm aware.
If there is some sort of cost involved, then y 'all are going to have to cough up the bills.
But as it is, this is something that her and people like her, such as Alex Jones, is known to do.
What a lot of them do is they demand that you go and listen to their four-hour show, their two-hour show, you know, their entire 30-minute appearance somewhere.
They want you to take extra time out of your life to hear them, you know, dance around and gish gallop around issues such as, what do you think of nationalism?
And she fucking defended Hitler.
I don't think it needs to be put any plainer than what Ted Lieu played.
Because the fact is, Hitler was not necessarily a full nationalist.
He was in love with Austria.
He wanted Austria, and he got Austria.
But when you're a fascist, you can't just hold one country.
You know, Mussolini and the Italians learned that, as did the Spanish.
You can't just hold one country as a fascist.
Beshism runs on war.
It is a war machine government.
You have to keep moving.
You have to keep expanding because you need a consistent slave underclass.
Well, as long as you have borders, you have places that slaves can escape to.
Well, when the slaves can escape, well, now you've got to go get them back, don't you?
So now you've got to expand.
And you've got to keep expanding and subjugate more people.
To prop up the home team that's protecting you, basically.
Nationalism is fascism because it preaches a separatist attitude of, we are separate from everything else.
No one else is as good as us, and so on.
And that leads, of course, to fractional infighting.
Had they actually succeeded in getting all the Jews out of Germany, well, then what happens?
Then who do you go after?
Well, you go after the next group down, which could have been anyone.
And in the case of Germany as well, they went after all the non-Christians.
They went after the Jehovah's Witnesses.
They went after the Jews, of course, the Jehovah's Witnesses.
Anyone who wasn't full-blooded.
A German was treated harshly, if not prison camped, and so on.
You know, so, yeah, it is not simply a love of one's country.
That is not nationalism.
Nationalism, as someone, especially someone who wants to be on the political front lines, should fucking know and understand, nationalism is Nazism.
So, yeah.
So let's get back into the rest of Candace Owens here.
That is exactly what I was referring to in the clip, and he purposely wanted to give you a cut-up similar to what they do to Donald Trump to create a different narrative.
That was unbelievably dishonest, and he did not allow me to respond to it, which is worrisome and should tell you a lot about where people are today in terms of trying to drum up narratives.
By the way, I would like to also add that I work for Prager University, which is run by an Orthodox Jew, and a single Democrat showed up to the embassy opening in Jerusalem.
I sat on a plane for 18 hours,
Yeah, so about PragerU.
Prager University is not a real fucking school.
Is it one of those, like, you go there and you can just get the documentation that you graduated from liberal arts?
No.
No?
No.
It is a YouTube channel.
Ouch.
It is a fucking YouTube channel run by Dennis Prager, who may well be an Orthodox Jew.
I have not looked into him very much.
Although now I think I might have to go look into Prager fucking U. I mean, I could look it up real quick.
No, you don't need to.
No.
Trust me.
There are some rabbit holes you just don't want to go down unless you have to.
Prager U. Prager U has come up over the years for a lot of reasons.
They are what's known as a Tradcon site.
They're a traditional conservative site.
They have several videos On YouTube At least I think they're still on YouTube I really don't want to look them up right now
Okay, you know what I'm going to read some video titles from PragerU Let's just pull them up on YouTube But yeah Let's see So PragerU It's spelled
P-R-A-E-G-E-R, PragerU.
Alright, PragerU.
God, they still have a YouTube channel.
They really shouldn't.
They really shouldn't.
There is a surprising amount of things that just shouldn't be YouTube channels.
There we go.
I'm gonna...
I'm just gonna go to the videos run here and read some titles off.
Protect Children's Innocence.
It's the Adult's Job.
That's about not taking kids to Drag Queen Storytime.
The fight to stop sex trafficking.
Confessions of an environmentalist.
Why is the LA Zoo inviting children to their drag show?
Should all murderers live?
Should we bring back traditional gender roles?
Why is classical art so good?
Don't waste time finding yourself.
Do what you fear.
Santa visits PragerU.
The case for Christmas and Santa.
Child regrets transitioning soon after mastectomy and hormones.
Cash course investing.
Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays.
The truth about gender-affirming care.
Are there alternatives to woke universities?
And so on.
Speaking of my mind cost me a lot and it was worth it.
The Constitution, our Bill of Rights, those are not the same thing.
The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are not the same fucking thing.
No, no, they are completely separate documents.
They are.
They were written around the same time by a lot of the same people.
They are not the same goddamn thing.
No.
Okay, PragerU has almost 300 videos on YouTube, maybe more, because their most recent one was, as of this recording, was episode 270, I believe.
I clicked away from the channel.
I don't want to look at it anymore.
You can't make me.
I won't do it.
I just have to say, PragerU sounds like a real rude way, like you just found out that a friend of yours is pregnant, and you just go, PragerU?
That's the first thing that came to my mind.
No shit.
It shouldn't...
They really hate drag queens.
They really do.
Oh, so does Candace Owens.
She despises drag queens and trans persons.
Not quite sure why drag queens.
I mean, usually most of their stuff is pretty expensive.
Okay, let's get into that.
Okay.
Alright, drag queen story hour.
Why is it such a threat?
It is a threat because they made it a threat.
They actually believe.
They actually believe that parents voluntarily taking their children to a drag queen story hour, most of which are held at libraries, and increasingly they've had to hold them at other locations because even people who don't have kids will go to these things to harass the parents,
the drag queens, the security, the library staff, and more often than not, unfortunately, the children.
We're not talking about 12-year-olds.
We're talking about, like, often 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-year-old kids.
Yeah.
Now, they're encouraged.
And the parents, again, you know, the same people that will yell at the parents for bringing their children to an event like a Drag Queen Story Hour, where a drag queen will read from a book to children, as you do.
Yeah.
That's...
That's what you would expect.
It's right there in the name.
It's right there in the name.
Yeah.
They will...
The same people that will yell and scream and bitch and kick and moan and fight and get imprisoned over Drag Queen Story Hour are the same ones who will be like, My kids!
You know, blah, blah, blah.
I should get to raise my kids the way that I want.
Yet, it's not other people's purview to raise their children the way that they want to, apparently.
So they will go to these things and they will protest the very existence of the drag queens because to them they think that Drag Queen Story Hour is all about normalizing drag.
Is it?
I don't know and I don't care.
Honestly, it just sounds like any other normal, you know, hey, this celebrity's going to be reading a book, bring your children, maybe get an autograph, that sort of thing.
That's honestly all it sounds like.
And I mean, and honestly...
The amount of work that men or women, because there is female drag as well, the amount of work that they go through to be convincing without physically changing who they are, without, you know,
going through transitional, through gender transitional things.
The amount of hours we make up and not putting them at their cost.
And often they are the ones doing it themselves.
Yeah.
The sheer amount of work that they do.
It blows my mind because you have people that show up for Star Trek and Star Wars shows that will spend hours in makeup that have a team of people making them look like something else.
Drag queens, again, a lot of them, they do it themselves.
They don't have a team of people.
Maybe they have some friends helping out here and there to make sure they don't miss something.
But a lot of them, they create their characters.
They perform.
Maybe they sing or whatever.
They perform, they do comedy, they do whatever as their alternate ego, you know, whoever they may be.
They often do see the drag side as separate from themselves, but, you know, to go through all that work, if it normalizes it for kids to be like, man, that's a lot of work that I would never go through, you know?
Like, I just, man, just to come down on somebody like that.
Because what a lot of them do, what a lot of these people do is they'll do these deep background researches, most of the time which are wrong, on whatever drag queens are supposed to be presenting stories of these things.
Now, drag performers often have the same lifestyles as any other performers.
They have the occasional drunk run-ins with the cops.
They have the occasional sexual harassment claims against them and whatever.
On the whole, the drag community is actually very good.
But what a lot of these people that are protesting will do is they'll go and try and dig up dirt on whoever's presenting at these things and then they will just...
And they'll even make shit up.
They'll make up websites.
They'll make fake pages.
And they'll call the library and go, do you know who you've got coming to present, you know, fucking Thomas the Tank Engine?
Or whatever.
Yeah, it's a completely fucked up thing to do to anybody.
But, yeah, PragerU and the other members of the religious right wing, including Candace Owens, have this real hate boner.
for drag queen story time and drag shows and transitional people and the whole works.
They really do go out of their way these days to go after these people because a lot of them are getting their rights where they're equal under the law.
Unfortunately, we don't have a system of laws in this country where, you know, you can just be an American citizen and get treated the same way across the board.
We have to make laws that specifically say, hey, these people are okay, too.
Yeah.
You know, it sucks that we have to do that, but, you know, such is life in a growing society.
But let's hear Candace Owens for the rest of her statement, because she's not done yet.
I'm deeply offended by the insinuation of revealing that clip without the question that was asked of me.
Thanks, Mrs. Owens, and I yield the remainder of my time.
Okay, so that is her speaking about, again, you know, her appreciation of Adolf Hitler.
Now, I have no intention of going and looking up the speech in question, but I can tell you this.
From what I remember reading the book, and I will amend my statement, if...
This turns out to be true, but this is not mentioned once in Larry Elder's breakdown of Candace's speech.
Not even once.
And what I'm doing now is I'm skipping ahead to what I believe is her final statement on the panel, which is where Larry Elder's book starts.
Thank you, Google, for the preview window and YouTube.
Yeah, it's lovely that they added that.
It makes it so much easier to find things.
Especially when it's a four-hour meeting.
Yeah.
This was a four-hour congressional meeting.
Which also, to effect as well as a friendly reminder, the link will be put up on whatever website.
Yeah, the full four hours will be there.
I encourage listeners to pull it up, listen to it, whatever.
I couldn't find the rest of her thing here.
Like I'm looking at everybody else that's speaking and I don't see Candace's statement that Larry Elder talked about.
So we're just going to go back to it.
Sigh. *sigh*
I was going to say time to do some extra scrolling.
No, I'm not going to bother with it.
Okay, we're only 26 minutes in.
Cool.
We're only about halfway through.
Yeah, so she supposedly said, let's start talking about God and religion and shrinking government because government has destroyed black American homes and every single one of you know that.
And I think many people should feel ashamed for what we have done and what Congress has turned into.
It stays of our lives in here and it's embarrassing.
Now, Larry Elder goes on to say, mic drop.
Incandescent.
Bright.
Most of all, Owens is courageous.
These are just some of the adjectives that describe this young, charismatic female who happens to be black and who happens to challenge the notion that blacks should retain their near-monolithic support for the Democrat Party.
Now, let's talk about why the Democrats have such a hold on black and minority communities.
It's probably because they were the ones that voted in the civil rights legislation in the 1960s.
And when that happened, a lot of mainline, you know, balls-to-the-wall, hateful Democrats flipped sides, such as Strom Thurmond.
Flipped sides, became Republicans.
It's known as the party flip, and it absolutely happened.
Now, people like Candace Owens will not engage with that idea whatsoever.
When it is brought up to her, I have seen her duck, dip, dive, and dodge away from even talking about that.
Now, let's go on here.
In 2008, for the first time, the percentage of eligible black voters who voted exceeded the percentage of eligible white voters who voted.
That's not true.
This shows, despite liberal rhetoric to the contrary, that the black vote is not being suppressed due to racism.
Now, the percentage of eligible black voters who voted, we discussed this before in the previous recording, but that is a fucked up lie.
I'm going to call Larry Elder what he is.
He's a fucking liar.
He quotes on in here another one.
It says Barack Obama actually got a higher percentage of the white vote than John Kerry did in 2004.
That was among Democrats.
Obama got a higher percentage of the white vote than John Kerry did in 2004.
Okay.
See, what he does there is he equates Obama with Kerry.
John Kerry ran in 2004 against George W. Bush.
A president who was in the middle of a war, and Kerry was a fucking limp rag, probably still is, he was not a good choice.
Barack Obama won the presidency when he ran in 2008.
I just want to say that more people have been, you know, produced in that four-year time gap, I'm sure.
More voters, yeah.
Also, The person they ran against Obama was John McCain, who was running alongside Sarah Palin as his vice president.
And, you know, it was a close-call election.
But Barack Obama got a higher percentage of the white vote because a lot of people were scared of the Palin-McCain ticket.
So yeah, Barack Obama got a higher percentage of the white vote because he won in 2008.
Donald Trump, despite allegedly using a dog whistle to inspire white racist voters to turn out, received a smaller percentage of the white vote than presidential candidate Mitt Romney four years earlier.
Now see, that's not true.
Here's why it's not true.
There's a statistic in here that I'm going to link to in the show notes.
The actual voting statistics from that year and from every year go as follows.
They, you know, the voting offices track, it's all self-reported by people, but they track race and age groups and all these other things so people can see voting trends.
It's an open thing.
Well, there are two separate categories for white voters.
There are white voters and then there are white non-Hispanic.
Which still confuses the hell out of me as to why that is a...
It shouldn't be.
There should just be Hispanic.
There is Hispanic, there is white, and there is white non-Hispanic.
It's because up until recently, Hispanics were looped in with whites in a lot of categories.
They were never treated that way, especially in areas like California where they were always seen as an other group.
But, yeah, voting trends encapsulate white and white non-Hispanic.
Guess which group votes more than the other one?
White non-Hispanic?
Yeah, yeah, white non-Hispanic is the majority of voters in the country.
So, yeah, he doesn't go into that at all.
He's got the space.
He doesn't do it.
Blacks have voted for the Democrat Party since Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the New Deal.
That's not entirely true.
FDR and the New Deal did help quite a bit, but it helped a lot of people quite a bit.
A lot of the country was poor.
FDR was the president during the Great Depression and World War II.
By all accounts, he does not seem to have been racist.
You know, he just wanted Americans to fucking be American, work, keep the Nazis out, and so on.
And FDR had a vested interest in keeping Nazis away because there was actually a plot to unseat him from the presidency by a bunch of American fascists.
It's called The Business Plot.
Behind the Bastards did a special episode about it.
It's worth checking out.
So, after all, this is a country that in 2008 elected a black man for president and in 2012, despite a tepid economy, re-elected him.
Yeah, about that.
It's actually really, really odd for any president to...
Not win re-election.
They tend to just win re-election.
For example, in my lifetime, there was Ronald Reagan who beat Carter in 1980.
Reagan won again in 1984.
In 1988, Reagan's vice president, George Bush, won the presidency.
But Bush was so bad at his job, he lost to Bill Clinton in 92. Yeah.
Clinton won again in 96, so he got a full eight years.
But Bill Clinton had so many scandals during his presidency that people were ready for a change, and they elected George W. Bush rather than Clinton's vice president, which was Al Gore.
Yeah.
So they elected Bush Jr.
W, we call him.
The same one that stole your wine opener.
No, no, no.
That was Jeb Bush, his brother.
Our former governor.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, fuck that guy.
Yeah.
Interesting story.
I'll tell it sometime on here.
But, anyway.
So, W won his two terms.
He gets, you know, his follow-up was Barack Obama.
Obama won his two terms.
Then we get into Trump.
So much disastrous shit happened in front of and behind the scenes during the Trump years that he was not going to win.
It was going to be close, but he was not going to win.
That's why he tried to hamper the mail system, because a lot of people expressed interest in mail-in voting.
Yeah, during the time it was the safest thing to do.
It was the safest consideration for most people.
They didn't want to stand in line.
You know, or even stand in line for early voting, which mail-in voting is actually the way that a lot of rural America has traditionally done their voting, pandemic or no.
Just because, you know, if you live fucking 30 miles away from your nearest voting district, which a lot of people in Texas of all states do, and you can just mail that shit in, or you can go to a Dropbox, you know, that's closer, then that's what you do.
Or even, you know, if you're like elderly or something.
Yeah, a lot of elders.
It's a lot easier to mail it off than to haul your old bones there.
Yes.
You know, or to get a ride or whatever.
You know, or to stand in line.
A lot of people can't stand in line.
You know, so, yeah.
They, uh...
Oh, God.
So, back to Larry Elder.
Candace Owens dares ask, what have blacks gotten for their loyalty to the Democrat Party?
Democrats preach and teach blacks to think and act like perpetual victims, eternally plagued by institutional or structural or systemic racism, never mind overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
That's not true.
As we know, over the last several years, there have been no end of...
Proof coming out that there absolutely has been institutional, structural, and systemic racism against not just black men and women, also Asians, Jews,
Hispanics, and even just poor people.
You know, you didn't go to the right school.
You know, you went to a community college rather than a university.
You got your degree online.
You got your degree in the military.
You're not going to have the same advantages in a lot of fields as someone who went to Harvard or whose parents went to Harvard and they've got the money to send them to Harvard and put them on the kayak team and shit like that.
Yeah. You know.
Yeah.
Is being on the kayak team really that big of a...
I think it is.
It's a rich person point.
You'll never know about it.
I'll never know about it.
I was on the kayak team.
Don't look at me, peasant.
God.
Why is the bartender looking at me in the eyeballs?
Oh.
Weak.
Yeah, so.
Back to Larry Elder.
analyst Van Jones attributed Trump's victory in 2016 to White Lash.
Larry Elder goes on to say, Here's the thing.
He doesn't go on to list any of the counties.
He leaves that up to the reader.
And with 200 of 700 counties, that could honestly...
Like, I could go through, I could look that up.
But, um...
That's...
That's, you know, without specifics and without so much as a notation.
I should mention as well that as I read through this, there is no bibliography notation in this fucking book.
What is that?
Okay, bibliography notation.
I'll explain that since you seem confused.
Is when you're reading something, when you're reading a non-fiction book, hell, even maybe a fiction book, if it's written really well and the author wants you to know, I did my fucking work, kids.
Yeah.
Is there will be like, you've probably noticed this before in things, but you know, you're reading and you'll see like a little tiny number in the text.
Yeah.
Well, if you flip to the back of the book where that little tiny number is, let's say it's one in this case.
Number one in the bibliography will list the fucking source.
Okay, okay.
Larry Elder does not give a fucking source.
Yeah.
Because he can't.
Yeah, I believe it's actually in one of these parakeet behavioral birds.
Books.
Books, yeah.
Books.
The birds just have guts and blood and bones inside them.
Yeah.
And little feather sticks that keep the feathers in.
Yeah.
So, the city with more than 100,000 in population that voted most for Trump was Abilene, Texas.
Yet this majority white city, founded in 1881, recently overwhelmingly voted for its first black mayor.
Yeah, it did that because the black mayor was a Trump kiss-ass, which is what you have to be in Abilene, Texas.
Yeah.
At least back then.
I don't know about today.
I hope it's changed.
No.
No, it hasn't.
Okay.
My one friend in Texas, it hasn't changed, no.
That doesn't shock me.
Yeah.
I'm not shocked.
Looking for her, she doesn't live in that area, though.
Well, that's good.
Yeah.
The biggest problem in the black community is not racism, inequality, lack of access to health care, climate change, the alleged need for common-sense gun control laws, or any number of the arguments Democrats pitch to blacks to ensure that 90% plus black vote.
The number one problem in the black community, as Owens told Congress, is a lack of fathers in the home.
And here we get into more bullshit.
Now, I had the privilege of knowing a lot of black folks growing up.
Some of them were in single mother households.
Some of them were in households where they had a mom and a dad.
Sometimes the dad was the only parent.
They didn't seem any different from white or Hispanic families that I knew.
And the ones where the moms ran the show, sure, occasionally the kids would get into trouble, but they'd get into trouble in the whole families, too.
The kids in the fatherless homes were not often, like, looking for a father figure or anything like that.
They had plenty around them.
They had uncles, they had teachers, you know.
They were...
Just trying to live the same as anybody else.
But this is something that Candace Owens and Larry Elder will come back to consistently, is a lack of fathers in the home, single motherhood.
This is another thing on par with Drag Queen's story out of these people.
They can't shut up about it.
In spite of any lack of evidence that...
In spite of any lack of real evidence that...
That this is affecting their society.
So, moving on.
Again, no statistics.
No notes.
Economist Walter Williams points out that the percentage of blacks born outside of wedlock in 1940 was approximately 12%.
Okay.
That is pre-World War II.
Okay.
Yeah.
years later, after World War II, in 1965, when Daniel Patrick Moynihan published a report called The Negro Family a Case for National Action, the percentage of black children entering the world without a father in the house was at 25%.
And
Mm-hmm.
What he means by this.
Does he mean kids being born?
Does he mean kids that hit 18 and are now technically adults?
He doesn't cite any numbers here, and this is another point of how you know he's full of shit.
Moynihan warned about the dysfunction created by absentee fathers, including a greater likelihood of kids dropping out of school, an increased probability that kids would end up in poverty.
And a greater likelihood that such children would commit crime and end up being incarcerated.
In a speech on Father's Day in 2008, you know, we're going to come back to that one.
So, Moynihan warned about the dysfunction created by absentee fathers, including a greater likelihood of kids dropping out of school.
The people that I used to work with, back to one story that I did, Those that told me that they dropped out of school to get a job, it was never because, you know, oh well I didn't have a father so I had to drop out of school.
It was, I needed to help support my mother.
So they would drop out of school and get themselves a job and most of them actually lived on their own and their mother just lived with them because they were busy taking care of her, making sure that she was okay because, you know, she took care of me.
And even vice versa, if it was a father only.
Yeah.
They were like, my father needed to retire, so I stepped up and helped.
Yeah.
You know, and I mean, that's always been pretty common, but...
Yeah.
An increased probability that kids would end up in poverty.
Now, again, if you're living in a single-parent home...
If you don't have two parents available to do all the things that two parents can and often do, do, okay, but that could happen in any kind of way.
I've known couples who stayed together forever that had kids that were in dire straits in poverty.
This is such bullshit.
Yes, because poverty does make people think about committing crime, at least direct physical crime.
If you grow up with money, you think about ways to make money crimes.
Like banks.
So, in a speech on Father's Day in 2008, then-Senator Barack Obama said...
We know that more than half of all black children live in single-parent households, a number that has doubled since we were children.
We know the statistics that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime, nine times more likely to drop out of schools, and 20 times more likely to end up in prison.
They are more likely to have behavioral problems or run away from home or become teenage parents themselves.
And the foundations of our community are weaker because of it.
Now, that is an actual quote that Obama did say in 2008.
I want to point out, as Larry Elder does here, that Barack Obama was a senator at that time.
He was running for office.
As a senator, you don't have the same level of data sophistication that you do as a president.
There were several things that Obama said in 2008.
Either to get elected, or positions that he held that he rolled back on by the time he left office.
Because he got to see shit out how it actually is, not how it is in Chicago, where he was from.
Which I noticed is a pretty common thing that they'll do.
Yeah, well, you know, they'll either lie or they'll be working off of incomplete data, which there is a difference.
Now it is actually, you know, I do feel like it's up to the presenter, the speaker, to know the data they're fucking talking about.
Yeah.
But at the same time, you know, you can't hold everybody to a razor's edge.
Yeah.
Meanwhile, Larry Elder...
Who has written this, has had every opportunity to go and look up the actual truth, and as a fucking lawyer, he knows how to put notes in things.
He knows how to write a fucking bibliography.
He's not a lawyer anymore.
No, but he was.
He was.
He was a practicing attorney for long enough.
He passed the bar exam at one time in his life.
I'm still curious as to how a whole state just tells you no.
It happened recently to one of Alex Jones' lawyers.
A guy named Norm Pattis.
Norm Pattis was so bad.
He was so bad in defending Alex Jones that he's part of why Alex Jones owes 1.5 billion dollars.
The biggest number of that, the 1 billion part, is because of Norm fucking Pattis.
Jesus.
He has a podcast.
He shouldn't.
He's not funny.
He's not good.
His show sucks.
Yeah.
So, today, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 70% of black children enter the world without a father in the household.
Now, let's talk about the CDC and Larry Elder and the right wing.
The CDC was trying to tell people during the height of the pandemic, you know, to mask up and to avoid tightly confined spaces and Mm-hmm.
is this type effective and so on yeah data was changing because they had to face the fact that maybe the disease was going to change by the day yeah you know the fucking COVID was scary mm-hmm
The CDC, being a government entity, is useful to these people when they agree with them, or when they're saying anything that they like, and then they discard them the moment they say anything, such as, in Candace Owen's case, hey, you can't have an arena full of people this year.
Yeah, because that breaks several guidelines.
Yeah, because we have this going on.
I feel like the easy fix to that is just set up a bunch of cameras and live stream it on several different services.
Yeah, they didn't want to do any of that.
She wanted to cry and whine instead.
Because when you're in politics, as she is, unfortunately, whether she's a talking head or a senator, it doesn't matter to me.
She's in politics.
And you can be aggrieved.
Constantly.
That's what gets you money.
Alex Jones makes money off of aggrievement.
He's paying money because he aggrieved several people.
But he's also using that to get more money, or at least to try to...
That motherfucker actually said recently that he can't see how he could live on $50,000 a month.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The judge has limited his income.
And more and more.
Yeah, if you want more about Alex Jones, people, listen to Knowledge Fight.
Oh my god.
So, at the congressional hearing on white nationalism, Owens said, if we're going to have a hearing on white supremacy, we are assuming that the biggest victims of that are minority Americans.
Yeah.
Yeah, Candace, that's actually right.
That's actually true.
And then she goes on to say, and presumably this hearing would be to stop that and preserve the lives of minority Americans.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yes.
Which, based on the hierarchy of what's impacting minority Americans, if I had to make a list of 100 things, white nationalism would not make the list.
That has to...
Oh, God.
My eyes bleed when I read words like that.
Could you repeat that again?
I think I misheard that.
You want me to repeat the whole thing?
Because I'll do it.
You want me to do that?
I'll do it.
Gun to my head.
Okay.
So, she said, and I'll repeat, if we're going to have a hearing on white supremacy, we are assuming that the biggest victims of that are minority Americans.
And presumably this hearing would be to stop that and preserve the lives of minority Americans.
Yeah.
Which, based on the hierarchy of what's impacting minority Americans, if I had to make a list of 100 things, white nationalism would not make the list.
What?
Why do you think about that?
Oh, you have thoughts?
Go ahead.
I'm listening.
I'm just...
I can't even formulate a sentence on that.
Yeah.
Eric Holder.
Again, useful in this case.
Eric Holder was President Barack Obama's first Attorney General.
Eric Holder.
Problematic.
I did not care for him.
But, you know, whatever.
Eric Holder, President Barack Obama's first attorney general, denounced what he called pernicious racism.
At a commencement speech before a historically black college, Holder said, quote, nor does the greatest threat to equal opportunity any longer reside in overtly discriminatory statutes like the separate but equal laws of 60 years ago.
Further, quote, since the era of Brown v.
Board of Education, Laws making classification based on race have been subjected to a legal standard known as strict scrutiny.
Almost invariably, these statutes, when tested, fail to pass constitutional muster.
But there are policies that too easily escape such scrutiny because they have the appearance of being race neutral.
Their impacts, however, are anything but race neutral.
This is the concern we must contend with today.
Policies that impede equal opportunity, in fact, if not in form.
Now, again, this is, you know, a useful idiot thing that Larry Elder does, where he quotes from someone who he, I'm sure, had a lot of bad shit to say about during his time on radio.
Eric Holder was a black man, of course.
Obama's first attorney general.
As I said, he's a very problematic guy.
Made a lot of boneheaded moves.
But he quotes from this thing where Eric Holder is talking about the greatest threat to equal opportunity does not any longer reside in overtly discriminatory statutes like separate but equal laws of 60 years ago.
What he's talking about there in separate but equal is saying that Black folks and white folks are separate, but they're treated equal under the law, which was not the case then.
As we know over time, it has been, frankly, more and more the case, but we're still not to equality.
It talks about how the policies that have been in place over the last several decades, they were supposed to make things better.
Didn't exactly because they weren't exactly followed.
People got away with not following policies.
So they had to start doing fines and making laws against such things, such as discriminatory hiring.
This is why there's a laundry list of things you have to look at and consider before you hire one applicant over another.
Because you have to give everybody fairness.
You can't really be biased.
Even if you want to be.
You cannot overtly be biased in hiring.
For people that aren't fair-minded, laws and fines exist to punish them into a better state of being for everyone else.
I don't always like that we have to do that in society, but sometimes you've got to fucking do that shit in society.
Larry Elder goes on to say, Go ahead.
Okay, so this is backtracking a little bit to Candace Owens.
Yeah, go ahead.
So, the very beginning, she went to...
In the very beginning, she went to a...
She was taken to a press conference about white nationalism, right?
A congressional hearing, yes.
A congressional hearing, right.
Sorry.
Go ahead.
Okay, so the first...
All right, that quote.
When was that quote from again?
Which one?
The one about white nationalism not making her list?
I think that was from that conference.
Okay.
Yeah, what are your thoughts?
I'm listening.
It's very...
I'm still trying to wrap my My mind around that one Because white nationalism is That's about you know Dealing with Groups like the KKK And such folks that Just want
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah. And she thinks that that isn't a threat to folks of color and whatnot.
Yeah. She, okay.
She's...
Well, and the thing is, too, is that even though the Ku Klux Klan has lost members over the last several decades, down to where I believe somebody said recently there might be an average of 100 Klansmen per state in the country.
Which is very low.
Yeah, it's low, but it's because the Klan became a fucking pyramid scheme.
Yeah.
You know, so yeah, the Klan became a fucking...
Multi-level marketing pyramid scheme.
Well, that, you know, that just means that the racists that didn't want to pay their clan dues just left that organization.
Yeah.
The racists that didn't want to pay their clan dues, that didn't want to dress up in robes and march in the streets with Confederate flags just left that organization.
It doesn't mean that they stopped being racists.
Oh, no, no.
I've met plenty of racists through Xbox, for Pete's sake.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, you know, they still...
still exist and still want that white nation that they've always been wanting.
They're just not a part of the club anymore.
Yeah. They're now in their own separate clubs.
Yeah. They've splintered more to groups that cater to themselves,
the proud boys or the three percenters that recruit veterans yeah the oath keepers that recruit veterans or cops you know there's there's there seems to be no end of these groups
and that was really more the concern of the committee was we have all of these groups popping up you know even though they they don't claim to be nazis even
You know?
So...
Moving on with Larry Elder.
Yet, about the current state of anti-black racism in America, Holder's future boss, then-Senator Obama, so this is way back in 2008, said something different.
In a speech at a historically black college, Obama saluted what he called the Moses generation, the generation of Martin Luther King.
Obama said, the Moses generation has gotten us 90% of the way there.
It is up to my generation, the Joshua generation, to get us the additional 10%.
Now, again, Larry Elder does not say what historically black college this was.
He could have said Edward Waters College, for example, which is in Jacksonville, Florida.
He could have said Tuskegee University.
He doesn't give one.
That's how you know he's a fucking liar.
These words probably were said by Obama.
I'll give them that much.
But why not quote it?
Why not put it fucking down?
It shouldn't be on the reader to go and find that kind of detail.
Because I guarantee you, if I go look up this fucking speech, it's going to have some brilliantly beautiful shit.
Yeah.
That Obama, being a senator, was trying to run for president at the time.
Yeah.
He had really good speechwriters.
If he wasn't writing them himself, which he did write a lot of his shit himself, he did have a team of very good speechwriters at his command.
One of them, I shit you not, was Jon Favreau.
Now, do you ever remember who Jon Favreau is?
Roughly.
Want me to tell you?
Yeah.
Jon Favreau is currently half of the creative mind behind...
The Mandalorian.
That would be why it sounds familiar.
He's also the creative mind behind Iron Man.
The 2008 movie wherein he plays his driver and later on his security guy, Happy.
That's Jon Favreau?
That's Jon Favreau.
Oh.
He was the writer-director of Iron Man.
All of Tony Stark's beautiful, like...
Come hither speeches.
It's all him.
It's all Jon Favreau.
Brilliant speechwriter.
Yes, he's great.
He was also...
Oh, crap.
He's done so many other things.
But, yeah.
He's a brilliant writer.
He was Obama's head speechwriter.
There's pictures of them together going over speeches.
Brilliant guy.
But, yeah.
Yeah, so...
Again, he doesn't quote...
This is, again, a liar lookout.
Oh, that'll be a thing.
This is a liar lookout.
He's not giving any context for this.
Because he's using it.
So that tells you that because he's not providing context, he doesn't want you to find where the context is.
Yeah.
We go on.
Again, this was before he was elected and re-elected as the first black president of the United States.
One can assume that Obama's milestone election whittled down that remaining 10%.
In 1997, a Time slash CNN poll asked black and white teens whether racism is a major problem in America.
Again, no time frame.
From 1997.
This is right about when I would have been turning 18. The internet barely fucking existed at that time.
There were webpages.
There certainly were.
I grew up with an early version of the internet in my house.
I had the war game set up when no one else I knew did.
I knew all about modems and routers and shit before any of my friends because that is one of the things that my fucking grandfather was involved in and he taught it to me.
Yeah.
So, in 1997, I could count on my fingers the number of people I knew who had internet access.
Granted, I've lived rurally, but I knew more people online with internet access, of course, than I knew probably for 20 miles around me.
Yeah.
Now, was it an internet poll or was it like they went to a school sort of poll?
It just says a Times-CNN poll.
So it probably wasn't an internet poll, but why wouldn't those two, you know?
Well, the further question there also is where was the poll held?
Because that'll really...
And how many respondents.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because that will really mess with it.
You're thinking about it right.
Yeah.
Good job.
Yeah.
They asked black and white teens whether racism is a major problem in America.
Not too surprisingly, a majority of both black and white teens said yes.
But then black teens were asked whether racism was a big problem, a small problem, or no problem at all in their own daily lives.
89% of black teens said that racism was a small problem or no problem at all in their daily lives.
In fact, more black teens than white teens called failure to take advantage of available opportunities a bigger problem than racism.
Again, aside from the year 1997, and this being a Time-CNN poll, we don't have any other data.
No.
He doesn't provide it.
There's no fucking note.
Moving on.
Today, however bad off someone black might be, whatever he or she is going through is nothing like the obstacle course black men and women dealt with two generations ago.
For today's generation of blacks to act as if their struggle compares to that of two generations ago insults and diminishes that generation's struggle.
I have rarely ever heard anyone in my life, and I'm 42, I have rarely ever heard anyone in my life compare themselves to, or compare their life to the struggle that, you know, that Martin Luther
King Jr. and others went through when they were getting fire hosed, when they were getting beaten, when they were having dog sick on them.
I've rarely ever heard anyone compare themselves to that.
Maybe if they're being melodramatic, but most of the time they're just concerned that they're going to go to an interview.
and they're going to get denied a job because they're going to walk in the door and the mind is going to be made up.
Yeah. That's usually what they're concerned about.
It is not that they're not going to be able to date someone they like.
Yeah. Or go get lunch somewhere.
They're not afraid that they're going to get run out of McDonald's.
Or end up going out wherever and then getting nabbed in the middle of the night.
You know, for looking at a white woman.
Like, those are not their concerns.
Yeah.
I mean, maybe in the Deep South.
Maybe in the Deep South, but not...
Or maybe in rural areas, maybe, maybe, where that kind of thing can still happen.
But in cities, no.
No.
I have rarely ever heard anyone compare the modern...
Yeah, no.
Moving on.
Reparations are the latest shiny object dangled to entice black voters.
Several of the 2020 Democrat presidential candidates support establishing a commission to study it.
But the problem is simple.
Reparations are the extraction of money from people who were never slave owners to be given to people who were never slaves.
It is revenge for something that was done to ancestors at the expense of people who had nothing to do with it.
That is such a simplistic fucking breakdown.
All right.
Reparations do get studied frequently.
I think more often it is used as a tool to remind people, especially like...
Especially people whose family money was based on shutting other people out of markets.
You know, that, hey, your grandfather was kind of a robber baron.
You know, maybe you should give freely to these charities and these groups.
Otherwise, we're going to look at you and your family wealth as something that you shouldn't have gotten because it was stolen from whoever.
Now, that can't be said for everybody that's rich, of course.
That can't be said for everybody that has generational wealth.
But, you know, the fact is there were...
And, I mean, no one's going to...
I do not think...
I'm going to say this.
I do not think the reparations are ever going to be a thing that happens.
I think what people want is...
You know, and for Larry Elder to do this, to say this kind of thing, negates the entire process of contract debate.
You know, both sides enter a contract debate wanting the most out of it.
And then you whittle it down with discussion to a middle road that both sides can agree on, whatever that is.
You know, people do this all the fucking time.
In our city, for example, we have street-side parking.
Yeah.
Sometimes there are cars parked too deep on the street for you to get comfortably down both lanes.
So what do you do?
You contract with the person in the oncoming lane that we're going to move slowly past each other or one of us is going to pull over and the other one's going to go.
Yeah.
I've seen it happen plenty when...
In the car with Mom, you know, driving down the road, and if we're the first one on the road and somebody else is turning on to it, they'll pull off to the side until we're passed and then go down the road.
Yeah, exactly.
You know, I mean, that's...
Especially as cars have gotten larger over time.
You know, it's...
That's a daily thing.
Do both sides want to get down that road?
At the fastest speed possible?
Absolutely.
Are both of you going to be able to go?
No.
There's objects in the way.
Yeah.
For him to just be like, oh yeah, reparations are the latest shiny object dangled to entice black voters, and several of the 2020 Democrat presidential candidates support establishing a commission to study it.
Having a commission to study something doesn't mean that it's going to happen.
No.
It's the first step in solving larger issues.
And it is absolutely dangled in front of scared Republican voters.
To make them think, oh, these Democrats are so scary.
They're going to enact reparations and 10% of my family's wealth is going to be gone overnight.
If losing some of your family's wealth is one of your major concerns in your life, we're not on the same page.
We don't have family wealth.
We have family debt right now.
We don't have family wealth.
I can't feel bad for someone who lives in a mansion that's like, oh, I could lose 10% of my stuff if these people get their way.
Which are the same people that'll go, how much is a jet?
10 million?
Eh, I can do that.
Yeah.
These are the people who...
Oh, God.
I worked for too many wealthy people that were just the definition of stupid rich.
You know, like, they would inherit, like, so much shit.
They would just inherit it when someone, when some rando in their family would die.
And they would absolutely not know the cost of anything that they had.
It was crazy.
It was crazy just to watch them live.
So, yeah.
That's Larry Elder.
Yeah, we're at an hour and 14 right now, so...
We're going to cut this, and we will come back to more of the foreword, which we're not even through yet.
Let me see how many more pages we have here.
Through the foreword?
Yeah, there's one, two, three.
You know what?
Let's continue, because we're almost done.
Okay.
Okay.
Let's make this a long episode.
Okay.
All right, so older black people went through a lot.
Accordingly, they have understandable and well-deserved hard memories.
Of course, no one's going to deny that.
No.
It is within the living memory of blacks that endured Jim Crow.
He goes on to say, when I was born, Jackie Robinson had broken the modern baseball color barrier just a few years earlier.
When I was born, interracial marriage was still illegal in several states.
Point of note, it was actually illegal up until I think 2008 in some states.
Not most, but some.
Also, Jackie Robinson was not the first.
Major baseball player that was black.
He gets the most press.
He dealt with a lot of shit.
He wasn't the first.
There are dollops on the guys that were the first.
Wow, they paved the way for that dude.
But of the post-civil rights era blacks, the well-dressed, tenured professor types one sees on CNN and MSNBC, what was their struggle?
Microaggressions.
He or she was followed in an apartment store.
Someone mistook him or her for a store clerk.
Oh, the humanity.
Again, this is him making light of people that put in their time, that put in their dues.
And if you're a tenured professor, you're typically a doctor of whatever your field is.
To get a doctorate, Period.
What a lot of people don't know who don't...
And Larry Elder fucking knows better.
That requires a fuckload of work.
Book work, in this case.
More than a lawyer.
More than anyone who just gets a four-year degree.
A doctorate on its own is like an eight-year degree.
Anywhere.
And it really doesn't matter what it's in.
Unless it's something like...
Theology, which is, you know, the study of religion.
I honestly do not think there should be a doctor of theology in this fucking world, unless you're like Indiana goddamn Jones.
And then you're a doctor of archaeology, so the fuck am I talking about?
You know?
But, yeah, it's...
That should not be a thing.
But...
Yeah.
Like...
Yeah, if you're...
You have every right to be offended.
By someone following you in a department store.
Yeah.
Particularly if you didn't walk in doing anything wrong, if you're not doing anything wrong.
At the same time, it is store staff's prerogative, especially security, to follow anybody.
Yeah.
And again, he's not quoting any names here.
Yeah.
Because he knows that the people he would quote for this would sue the ever-loving dog shit out of him.
Yeah.
I mean, even the whole store following thing.
The other day when we went down to the store, I was asked to go grab a cart from the front.
We were like all the way in the back of the store.
So I sped walked through and I felt, you know, somebody following behind me.
And I wasn't looking behind me.
There was a manager just following behind me.
And I'm sitting there going, you know, this makes sense.
I probably look suspicious, you know, walking through the store.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, for all he knew, you were about to book it with something you pocketed.
Yeah.
Because that shit happens in retail.
But, like I said, at the same time, this is him, again, not necessarily lying, but not being completely truthful.
Because he's not giving any names.
And he could.
He very well could.
But he doesn't want to get sued.
And you can bet that Candace Owens' publisher didn't want to get fucking sued.
Yeah, I know.
But still, they left this in here.
Because their average reader, their average viewer...
Their average listener is someone who's going to chuckle.
Oh, the humanity.
I hate them.
So the number one cause of preventable death for young white men is accidents, like car accidents.
The number one cause of death, preventable and unpreventable, for young black men is homicide, and almost always at the hands of another black man.
Again, no notes, no quotes.
There are approximately 500,000 non-homicide violent interracial felony crimes committed every year in recent years.
According to the FBI, nearly 90% of the cases are black perpetrator white victim, with just 10% white perpetrator black victim.
Where is the congressional hearing on this?
Well, Larry Elder, lawyer Larry Elder Esquire, where's your fucking notations, buddy?
I also have to say this, I'm confused as to what his stance is, because at one moment he's going, white folks are racist, to black folks are also racist?
Yeah, okay, let's discuss this.
All right, so this is another thing that these people do, is they will claim that, and they will usually claim this with people like Alex Jones cheering them on.
It's a dog whistle for racist people because here's one of the things, right?
You have somebody like Annis Owens.
You have somebody like Larry Elder.
The majority of their listening audience is not a hate listen.
It is hateful people.
But they're listening to them because they happen to be black and they happen to be saying all the things that these people are thinking all the time.
Or that they want to believe so much.
In this case, it's that, oh, you know, there's no white on black crime.
There's black on white crime all over the place.
Don't you know?
Yeah, they scream that.
Constantly.
Yeah.
But they never back it up with any data.
Or when they do, the data is...
Like the last time I saw anybody actually...
Use FBI data to back that up.
It was like 15 years old and it was from a small sample size in like California.
Yeah.
Like, yeah.
So moving on.
Last couple pages here.
Dean Beckett, executive editor of the New York Times, once admitted, quote, the left as a rule does not want to hear a thoughtful disagreement.
End quote.
Larry David, not Larry David, I'm sorry, Larry Elder.
Larry David is a Jewish man who co-wrote most of Seinfeld.
Not even in the same fucking league.
Larry David's actually funny.
He has a show on HBO, Curb Your Personality.
You've probably seen the meme where he's an old white Jewish guy.
Fuck you and I'll see you tomorrow.
Yeah, that's him.
Larry Elder goes on to say, Now, I don't know that I would ever say she is a white supremacist.
I would say she is a tool of white supremacists.
She's certainly being used by many because they can Get her to say shit that they can't say.
And it was one of my concerns going into this was being called a racist because I'm going after Candace Owens.
Well, the only people who are going to call me a racist for going after fucking Candace Owens are Candace Owens and people like Alex Jones.
People that I, on the whole, despise anyway for being shitbags.
Doesn't matter what color they are.
They're shitbags.
So, where is the thoughtful discussion about the fact that nearly one-third of abortions are performed on black women?
That illegal immigration disproportionately hurts unskilled blacks?
That the welfare state has incentivized women to marry the government and men to abandon their financial and moral responsibility?
That the demonization of the police causes them to pull back, resulting in an increase of crime, the victims of which are disproportionately black.
The lack of choice in education especially harms urban blacks.
And that programs like race-based preferences for college admission and the Community Reinvestment Act are hurting more than helping.
Go ahead.
Didn't he just say that the majority of crimes are black on white?
Yes. And then there he's saying that the majority of
victims are...
Yeah, here's the thing, right?
So, I think he, and I think the editors of this, because there had to have been at least one, I think he is so used to being able to just say shit on his radio show, and his target audience,
and in fact Candace Owens, they share the same target audience, they are used to hearing things and maybe reading them one time.
They...
Are not typically the type of people who do what you just did.
Yeah.
Who go, hold up.
Wait a minute.
What?
Let me go back and reread this thing.
These are people for whom I believe they got low grades in reading comprehension.
Yeah.
Which says a lot because I don't think I got...
No, no, actually I did get decent grades in that one.
Yeah, my reading comprehension was way off the charts forever.
Yeah.
Because I would read shit quick and go, hold up, wait a minute, and then go back.
Yeah.
Let me comprehend this.
Yeah.
Let me make sure I got this right, because I don't think I saw what I think I saw.
Yeah, because that confused me.
As it should.
It's not intended for you to understand it.
Okay.
It's intended for someone to go, yeah, that's a problem.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yep, yep, yep.
And to just yep, yep, all their way fucking through it.
Going on.
Last couple paragraphs.
Recent polls show that blacks, thanks in part to people like Candace Owens, are beginning to rethink their devotion to the Democrat Party.
Some polls in late 2019 found black support for President Trump at more than 30%.
Some polls.
Some.
Some that are not quoted.
Goes on to say, Again, that could be true.
Maybe.
But there's no proof.
More than 30 years ago, Harvard sociologist Orlando Patterson, a black Democrat, said, The sociological truths are that America, while still flawed in its race relations, and then he uses an ellipsis here, which is that dot,
dot, dot.
Now, you can legally use that to, unfortunately, you can legally use that when you're quoting somebody.
And it is the only way that you can actually misquote somebody and stay within the bounds of not getting sued.
Because you are using their words.
But you're shortening a much larger phrase.
The sociological truths are that America, while still flawed in its race relations, dot dot dot, is now the least racist white majority society in the world, semicolon, has a better record of legal protection of minorities than any other society,
white or black, semicolon, And he says more than 30 years ago.
It doesn't give a date.
He gives you the man's name, so it is relatively simple to look up his words, but he could have had a lifetime of speeches.
I honestly haven't looked this guy up, because by this point in this book, I got so tired of looking up Larry Elder's bullshit that I couldn't bring myself to do it.
Yeah.
But what kills me is the use of the ellipses there.
Like I said, this is another tactic that liars like Larry Elder will use.
And you'll see it sometimes in movie reviews.
You know, like, I could say something such as Avatar 2 getting wet.
Dot, dot, dot.
Avatar 2 getting wet is the most gorgeous, beautiful use of water in the fucking world and I want to feel it in my goddamn soul and it makes me want to cry tears of blue water people.
I love this movie so much.
Now, what the reviewing company can do is they can take that part where I started saying fucking And getting filled with the movie up.
And they can just join them two things together.
Avatar 2 is the most beautiful dot dot dot thing I've ever seen.
End quote.
And they absolutely will do that shit.
They absolutely will do that shit.
So yeah, anytime you see an ellipsis in a quote, it's like, oh, fuck you.
That's the first thing I think of.
Anytime I see that in a quote, I'm always like, man, now I have to go to work.
Now I have to go to work.
I have to look up what this person actually fucking said, if it's even available to me.
Because the thing is, a lot of educational papers, a lot of things that people such as the quoted person here, Orlando Patterson, again, I didn't look it up.
That could be behind a paywall.
That could be in a paper that he wrote where he wasn't even talking about this shit.
You know, I mean...
Completely unrelated, possibly.
Yeah.
Yeah, like, and Larry Elder in January 2020, that's the end line here.
I'm sorry, the end line is, carry on, Miss Owens.
I'm gonna go ahead and note.
Yeah.
I'm gonna go ahead and note something about that.
Okay.
Miss Owens has been married for a while.
Yeah.
She's not...
Okay.
She is Miss Owens.
But she's a married woman.
Yeah.
She did not take her husband's last name.
All this traditional conservative fucking bullshit, she's still known as Candace Owens, not Candace whatever her husband's last name is.
Yeah.
Why?
Why, huh?
Fucking why?
Shouldn't she be Candace, British last name?
Shouldn't that fucking be her, you know?
It kills me because people are like, Oh, traditional family values.
Blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah, blah.
No drag queen story time.
Blah, blah.
Not a real university.
Yeah.
You know?
They go on and they preach all this crap, but her, to keep getting the regular bucks in her account, still lists herself as Candace Owens.
Mm-hmm.
I hate every second of it.
But that's going to bring us, dear listener, To...
Candace Owens' introduction, which we will not go through on this episode.
This has been a long episode, too, because I just wanted to get through the rest of Larry Elder's bullshit.
Surprisingly, not too long.
Only an hour and a half long.
Yeah.
I hadn't planned on going through all of it, but once I got in there and I was like, I gotta keep talking.
I can't not.
Here's the good thing, though.
From what I know, the typical audience for shows like this...
We'll absolutely find this delightful.
And they'll be like, why didn't you talk more?
You could have gone on with the introduction.
I can't go on with the introduction because I have eyeballs and I have time and I have patience and they're all gone.
Yeah.
They're all fucking gone.
So, what I'm going to do to scrub my memory of this for the night is I'm going to hit stop on this thing in just a minute here.
But first I'm going to describe the scotch I'm going to drink.
It's a 12 year single malt scotch.
Known as the Dalmore.
It's expensive.
I like it.
If you ever have access to it, absolutely try it.
It's delightful.
It's fucking delightful.
Got it for him on his birthday.
Yeah, and then I'm going to enjoy that, and I'm going to play some No Man's Sky, and I'm going to forget about this until editing time.
So, it is what it is.
Thank you for listening.

I am working right now to get the website name secured and up and running.
It's going to be probably Pool.
Pool.
P-O-O-L.
Please Only One Lie.
Poolatatime.com.
It turns out that is actually a thing I can get.
Cheap.
So, I'm going to work on that.
That's it for me.
Do you have anything to add?
For scrubbing my memory of this, I'm going to end up probably playing some Destiny 2 and just going around in circles, killing everything.
I think that's the appropriate solution.
And trying to comprehend the...
I believe the word is contradicting that happened there.
Because it started out as whites are racist and shame on whites.
Then blacks are great.
And then it turned into blacks commit more hate crimes and then back into fuck whites but also don't quite support blacks.
It got a little confusing in there.
Well, the general tone of it...
I'll go ahead and explain this to you because there may be people confused as well.
The general tone of it for someone like Larry Elder is...
That there is no racial problem.
See, look at all this data that I have that I'm not going to show you the source of.
I'm just going to tell you about it.
There is no racial problem.
None.
It was solved.
Why are we talking about this?
Why did Candace Owens have to go to Washington?
The truth is, she fucking didn't have to go.
She wasn't ordered there.
She wasn't given a subpoena.
She didn't have to show up at all.
She chose to show up.
For this goddamn book.
Yeah.
And then 2020 slapped her in the face with the pandemic.
Thank God.
Thank God it did.
Oh my God.
I can't imagine how much sooner I would have wanted to do this show.
Had she actually gotten on stages and I would have been like, I hear you, universe.
I hear you.
The time has come.
Oh my God.
She is...
Larry Elder's bad enough.
She's so much worse.
She's just so much fucking worse.
And we're going to get into it because that is the mission of this fucking show.
So, okay, everybody.
That's it for me.
I can't think of a good sign-off, so I'm just going to say bye.
And cats are great.
Cats are great.
Thank goodness.
Is the cat still under the blanket?
Yeah, she's still under the blanket.
She's all tired, isn't she?
You moved the blanket.
Put it back over her, human.
Alright, bye everybody.
