Time Text
Cool thing.
That was Sonic Youth, a very hip band in the 90s, led by Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon.
They were sort of the couple du jour back then.
And everyone worshipped them because they were so darn cool.
Thurston really knew his stuff about rock and roll, still does, obviously.
And then Kim was this sort of brassy broad who would sang a bunch of their songs, not all their songs.
There was this other guy, Lee something, who you see in the background here.
But she had this sort of mystique.
And that band, they had very few normal hits.
They had dirty boots, and they had this, but a lot of their songs and a lot of their albums were just noise.
But check them out.
I don't wanna I don't think so Can't stay and let me play And what happens to your idols as they get older?
They become disgusting reprobates who preach to everyone else about how to live, but they themselves are human garbage.
And Thurston Moore, with his loving relationship, and I think he had a kid with her.
Yeah, he had a daughter.
Abandoned her.
Abandoned his wife, Kim Gordon, for some young thing, some intern.
You know, you don't hear, we crap on middle America and all the flyover country, but you don't hear about them dumping their wife for a 20-year-old intern.
I heard a quote recently where Kim Gordon said, I actually feel sorry for Thurston, her ex-husband, that that bitch took advantage of him like that.
No, that's not what happened.
He thought with his dick, and his dick decided he wanted younger flesh.
That's it.
I thought this was interesting, too, because I realized when I chose this song that it has Chuck D in it, the guy who wants to blow my head up.
Male, white, corporate oppression.
Male white oppression.
Like, look at this, look at this, look at this.
So cool thing, I guess, is black men in this song.
There she is rubbing a black man's sneakers.
And she says, cool thing, you're going to save us from white, male corporate oppression.
What are you going to do for me?
I mean, are you going to liberate us from male, white, corporate oppression?
Tell Blackad.
Are you?
Word up.
Fear of female.
Fear.
Black.
Fear, baby.
I just want you to know that we can still be friends.
If I speak pop music alternative subtext, I think she's saying that blacks and women are both oppressed by me and we can work together.
She's right in a sense.
She was oppressed by her husband, who dumped her.
But the theme this week with the intro music is my record collection turning on me.
And after I was pepper sprayed at NYU for being a fascist, Thurston Moore got on Facebook to express his concerns that it was all a setup and it was used to make NYU look bad and to cut funding.
What did he say?
Brian Turner.
To me, it's no coincidence this coincided with Gavin McInnes' spelled wrong, spiel at NYU last night, which also incurred violence, but at least he got pepper sprayed in his effing dandy stash.
So Chuck D, this guy wants to blow me up, and this guy likes it when I got pepper spray in my stash.
Come on, record collection.
Take it easy.
That's enough of that.
And we got plenty more, plenty more examples of my records coming to attack me in the night, which is something little kids have nightmares about, right?
Being killed by inanimate objects.
And now we're in an epoch where we're all scared of inanimate objects called guns.
And I'm going to talk about that.
I got on the show.
I'm going to go through this video where this guy turned in his AR-15, which is brilliant.
You know, you turn in your guns to prevent gun violence.
I also recommend men turn in their dicks to prevent rape.
Just chop it off.
I'm going to cut mine off and hand it into the local feminist center and say, what am I going to rape with now?
A strap on?
We're also going to hit the streets, go outside, go to Times Square, talk to the locals there, which are all tourists, by the way.
We met some Brazilians who just got married.
And I want to talk about bearing the lead.
There's this new thing going on with our media activists where they have the headline they want to have.
People are so mean to Mexicans.
And then five to ten paragraphs later, you learn what this person did, that it was actually about a pedophile or a major drug dealer.
And then we have an exciting guest who's 8.2.
That feels low, 8.4.
And she goes by the names Ashton Birdie, Ashton Witty.
So she went to this coffee shop in Oakland.
Oakland suck.
You think Berkeley's bad?
Oakland is a brutal hellhole.
It's a shithole, an American shithole.
And there's a coffee shop there run by blacktivists and social justice warriors and immigrates and just people that hate America and say America was never great.
And they've decided the cops are evil there because the cops arrest people just because they did crimes.
And so they have banned cops.
It's not a huge international story.
It's a local story.
But I made it a National story today because I think it's indicative of a much bigger pattern, which is politics is sports, and one team hates America, the other loves America, and logic doesn't really have anything to do with it.
They just hate each other's guts and they don't want to argue, they want to fight.
And that's what happened at this coffee shop when people showed up with American flags to say, this is f ⁇ ed up, this is crazy, and they get brutalized.
Y'all are brutalizing me.
New York Post booting Putin.
Trump is the worst Russian collaborator ever, but that's the entire story.
He noticed that Britain is booting out a bunch of Russians for poisoning people.
So he goes, fine, I'll boot him out too.
Sounds good to me.
Trump and allies kick out Russia Diplos inspire poison backlash.
Eagles a death metal.
Jesse Hughes, my old buddy, the one who dared to say that he thinks some of the security at Bataclan were in on that Bataclan massacre.
Of course, later on we find out that most of the people, or it's not most, but a large percentage of the security guards at the local soccer stadium in Paris are also on terror watch lists.
So Jesse's assumptions were perfectly valid, but he was ostracized from the music community in general, literally airbrushed out of billboards for saying such a thing.
And he's not going into hiding.
Here he is again saying that this march is stupid and I wish people were armed in Bata Clan.
This is a pathetic march, which is exactly what it was.
And finally, before we get started, before we start the show, I need you to watch Roseanne tonight.
She is rebooting her old sitcom, All the Same People In It, and Roseanne's pro-Trump in it.
So it's something I can finally watch with my whole family.
I can watch it with my liberal wife, and it's going to be nice, clean family humor.
So we're starting a new family tradition here at the McInnis household where we'll be watching Roseanne every week.
All right, so we got a lot to do.
Let's get started with talking to people on the streets of New York.
How you doing?
Good.
Where are you from?
Arizona.
Arizona?
Very hot.
Yeah.
Hot.
Hot to drought.
Do they have spring training there?
Spring training?
Oh, yeah.
This guy's from Tucson.
Oh, there you go.
Since some frat.
So you're getting a picture with me.
Why?
Because I believe in a lot of the stuff you believe in.
Okay, that's great.
But what does the picture do?
I don't understand selfies.
Oh, it's not a selfie.
Selfies when you take it yourself.
No, selfie has changed.
The word now means any picture that you're in that you take or have taken of yourself.
But like, what are you going to do with this photograph?
It's like an USI.
Okay, an Ussie.
What do you do with an Ussy?
Just show, my friends.
Like, hey, look, look who I met.
This guy's cool.
And look him up.
Yeah, but you could just say you met me.
What does the photographic evidence do?
It's a good point.
It's like an autograph.
All it means is that we were next to each other for a second.
this video is far more interesting because we have like a dialogue going back and forth but a picture of just That is true.
That's a good point.
Never thought of it.
Which one of these is yours?
Her.
Oh, that's nice.
Good job.
No way.
You're kidding.
He just proposed?
And I assume it was a yes.
Let's get a shot of you.
Come over here.
So you guys are getting married.
That's very exciting.
We are.
You're going to make babies like right away?
Maybe next year.
Yeah, you might as well get going, right?
Get it over with.
We're getting old.
I've heard people say, oh, I don't want to be showing at the wedding.
F that.
Just get old.
I love my belly.
I already have a baby.
Oh, wonderful.
Oh, you guys already have a baby.
Oh, good.
I was worried it wasn't yours.
So how long have you been together for?
It's going to be four years this Tuesday.
Oh, that's wonderful.
And what kind of baby do you have?
A little girl.
Oh, a little girl.
You want to know the secret to make boys?
You have to plunge.
You go super deep.
Super deep, right?
You stand.
You don't do doggy on your knees.
You do standing doggy and you plunge down like you're unclogging a toilet.
And then when you're done, when you're done, you collapse on her.
Like a folding lawn chair.
And then you hold it there for like a minute.
Because male sperm, for whatever reason, is lazy.
And you got to drop it off right at the front door.
Or it won't go in.
Two.
Yeah, I made two and a chick.
I made a chick and I went, uh-oh, we've got to make some boys.
And then I did the lawn chair technique.
Boys just shooting out of her.
Plume, plume, plume.
ICE uses Facebook data to find and track suspects.
Internal email show.
That's on The Intercept by Lee Fang.
Intercept is one of these corrupt, funded websites that pushes a liberal agenda.
And the agenda they're pushing here is that ICE is going to track down anyone Mexican and deport them.
It's more of that driving Wild Brown narrative that we heard a few years ago when Arizona decided to enforce their immigration laws.
Now, I've noticed this is indicative of a new thing called bearing the lead.
Now, it's not new, obviously, bearing the lead, but it's never been this bad.
And what's going on is these media activists, these journalists, they take their story and they put what they want it to be at the top.
And then what it is, is way, way down there.
No one reads down there.
So they get to get their crazy headline out there.
They get you to follow their narrative.
And then the truth is buried way, way down, deep, deep down below.
You know, burying the lead used to be a newsy term that meant someone screwed up.
And what are you doing?
You have all this exciting stuff.
Like I noticed that movie about Scientology with Philip Seymour Hoffman.
They made it all about his relationship with Miscovich, I believe.
The guy has his own boat with boat people.
You buried the lead.
Why wasn't that the story?
It used to mean negligence.
Now, it is done on purpose.
They are hiding the truth in the bottom So they can get the lies at the top and use it as propaganda.
We're in Russian.
This is, as James O'Keeffe said, American Pravda.
But as Milo points out, ICE uses Facebook data to find and track suspects.
Okay?
So then we go there and we see there's a correction in the article.
This story on Seadline originally reported that the investigation referred to in the ICE emails targeted an immigrant.
Not true at all.
The story filed did not include those errors.
The individual was not being pursued for immigration violation.
The target of the investigation was, according to the documents based in New York metropolitan area, where some of the ICE agents on the emails based in New Mexico, blah, blah, blah.
Why are you telling me all this?
Oh, in this case, our records show that ICE sent valid legal process to us in an investigation said to involved an active child predator.
That's the truth.
ICE was trying to track down a pedophile.
But the intercept's takeaway is that they're using it to get immigrants.
So we have to stop ICE.
ICE is evil.
And here's another example.
These are all from very recently, like today.
Here's a story about a U.S. vet facing deportation.
He thought he was just walking through an office door.
It was actually Mexico.
Isn't this horrible, this poor guy?
He's just, he's fighting for us, fighting for our country.
And they go, hey, Miguel, whatever his name is, go out that door.
There's a little cupcake on the other side.
Okay, I like the cupcakes.
He opens the door.
Oh, he's in Mexico.
He's been deported.
Aren't we evil?
And look at this weird little wind chimes they play about Michael Perez Jr. has been deported to Mexico.
Listen to the nice music they play from their montage.
What is that instrument?
Can you hear it even?
I think butterflies play it.
He was sent into 15 years.
He'd been in ICE custody since 2016.
What happened?
Oh, he was traumatized.
He did some drugs because he was so depressed.
He had PTSD and he had to do some drugs.
Oh, okay.
Well, you know, I'm for the legalization of drugs.
What happened exactly?
See, scroll down, down, down.
This case is a tragic example of what can happen when national immigration policies are based more in hate than logic.
And ICE doesn't feel accountable to anyone, Duckworth said in a statement following reports of Perez's deportation.
At the very least, Miguel should have, is it Miguel or Michael?
At the very least, Miguel should have been able to exhaust all of his legal options before being rushed out of the country, blah, blah, blah.
So what did he do, this poor guy?
Well, it's like 30 paragraphs down when we discover that he sold two pounds of cocaine to an undercover officer.
Oh, whoops.
Now, I'm for legalization of drugs, but it's still illegal in this country.
And yeah, if you sell two pounds of cocaine, you get in big trouble.
You know who knows that?
The people who sell two pounds of cocaine.
So you buried the lead.
You didn't tell us that this innocent little Mexican named Miguel was a major drug trafficker.
Two pounds of Coke?
I think if you, I don't think Artie Lang has done two pounds of Coke in his entire life.
That must be like that.
I mean, a baseball is enough to destroy your septum and make a hole there.
You know, Bob Bickel from the Five, before he was fired, he probably did a baseball his whole life.
Two pounds of cocaine.
They just, he opened a door and he is in Mexico.
Who is writing these articles?
That's CNN, by the way, not as radical as The Intercept.
Here's another article.
Okay, this is on Deadline, a very well-respected entertainment source.
Nickelodeon parts ways with TV series producer Dan Schneider.
Apparently, it's one of his most, they're one of his most prolific creators.
So what do we have here?
We have some innocent guy who is just on Facebook and he gets tracked down.
Oh, we find out later he's a pedophile.
Then we have this wonderful vet who's just trying to help out.
He's a little stressed.
Then we find out that he's a major drug trafficker.
And then who is this guy?
Dan Schneider.
He is a very prolific series creator.
Okay, that sounds interesting.
Then we scroll and we scroll and we scroll.
By the way, nobody scrolls this far.
Most people just read the headline, maybe the opening paragraph.
They look at it on their phone.
It's a Twitter moment.
So when we go, let's just actually count this.
One, two, three, four, five, sixth paragraph down.
But along with all his success, for years, Schneider had been under a cloud of suspicion over the treatment of some younger stars of his shows.
Among the things that have raised eyebrows are his tweeted photos of the toes of young female stars.
Additionally, there have been issues with.
I like the way too, right after they tell you that he loves pictures of young children's feet, which by the way, I discovered this the hard way.
I was looking up some pig who was attacking us, and his nickname was like the barefoot blah, blah, blah.
So as I was researching him, I discovered that barefoot is like a thing with these pigs.
It's big in the gay community, which is probably why pedophiles are getting a pass here too, because there's a Venn diagram with homosexuals.
But it's very big in the pedophile scene, this barefoot, foot, toes, young boys' feet.
But right after they say toes, they go, oh, additionally, there have been some issues with bloated budgets and long production days on Snyder's show.
Don't listen to that.
I wonder if Nellie Adrivas is sympathetic to the gay cause.
Is that why these leads get buried?
The big picture here is that media and news has become smoke and mirrors.
And bearing the lead has gone from a journalist screwing up to journalists messing up on purpose so they can become not reporters, but media activists.
At the end of the day, all of this means is that we have to do homework every time we get the news, used to be you could sit back and go, oh, there was a huge fire in Vietnam.
Oh, that's interesting.
Now it's, this is what the news is saying.
Go do your homework and find out what really happened.
*outro music*
I've noticed there's a trend of dads, mostly dads, turning in their AR-15s.
And these aren't just cucks.
These aren't just castrated losers.
These are war vets, ex-cops, men, normal guys, falling for this propaganda and going in to turn in their guns.
So in other words, we have the most law-abiding citizens available and they are going, I don't need this.
Let me get rid of it.
It just might get in the hands of a criminal.
In other words, I would like to make my house more vulnerable.
This gun, like even if you have a totally negative view of guns and you think they're evil, well, by hook or by crook, this gun ended up in the hands of a good guy.
And that good guy, instead of him going, wow, that's weird, who knew?
I can't believe this isn't with MS-13.
It's with a normal man.
Instead of doing that, they go, ew!
And they run again to the authorities, to the police, and say, help, get this away from me.
If someone's coming and killing my family, I'll call you 911 and then I'll just stand there and say, stop, stop.
And then you can show up after everyone's left.
Check it out.
I haven't seen this yet, by the way, but you can tell what it is.
What made you decide to get rid of it just out of curiosity?
The shooting stuff going on?
Yeah, honestly.
I have two kids that are in elementary school.
I have other firearms.
Military!
He's a military guy.
I'm not going to use it to pick my home.
And I'm tired of seeing people die.
So I bought my AR-15 in 2012 from a guy and how many clips.
I met him through an online forum, and to my surprise, the whole thing was perfectly legal.
It just seemed these people want more laws.
He doesn't like that it was so easy for him to get a gun.
What my background was, who I was.
This is like people who want to pay more taxes, isn't it?
All right.
Thank you for bringing it there.
Thank you.
I never want to hang out with you.
I hope I never see you again.
Goodbye.
My view on the next moment is that until we as a country can make common sense gun laws controlling them, we don't deserve to have them.
If we can't police ourselves and if our government can't police us properly, then we need to make some major changes.
And did you see that?
If our government doesn't police us properly, you just gave your guns to the police.
You're talking about incompetence, both at a government level and at a local level.
And the first thing you do is give your guns to those authorities.
Don't you want to be armed if the government is so incompetent?
I don't understand.
I really am profoundly confused by this, especially someone who's been in the military.
Don't you need balls to go fight wars?
And I remember, I think it was the chief of police in Detroit.
He said, arm yourselves.
We're not magic.
We're essentially a cleanup crew.
We always get there after the violence has gone down.
Arm yourselves.
I wonder how that cop feels about this guy.
I know he doesn't want to hang out with him.
That's a fact.
Go ahead.
So I guess I would hope that even though it is purely a symbolic gesture, it's not making difference in the grand scheme of things, but that's what a vote is.
A vote is just one person trying to do.
So the government's incompetent and individual actions are frivolous.
That's kind of how I'm voting right now for more gun control.
I live in New York City.
There's a murderous day.
Last night, you know, I was wrestling with, um...
Guns are all illegal.
Baltimore.
Brutal gun laws.
A couple friends over this.
Yeah, you lost me.
We're not friends.
You know, I can't worry about that.
I just got to do bad things for you, I guess.
Look at this.
It's just something I own.
I don't love my guns.
I love my family.
By the way, don't show your kids in a video talking about guns and danger.
I would want to say to the kids in Parkland that people are listening.
I saw their message and heard their voices.
We are going to be the last mass shooting.
What happened to this guy?
He's listening to you.
It made a difference on me, and I know it's going to reach a lot of people.
Is he going to cry?
I changed already.
I think he's about to cry.
That's me back when I had balls.
My kids looked back on this that they would understand that I did it because I wanted to.
Did what?
What did you do?
You got rid of your AR-15s?
What were they going to do?
Shoot themselves with them?
You were going to get robbed?
I hope they're proud of it, and I hope they understand why.
There you have it, folks.
good guy with a gun gives away his AR-15.
So a bad guy with a gun So a lunatic, an Adam Lanza, doesn't break into his house, steal his gun, and shoot up a school.
The odds of that are so low that you clearly have also given up your calculators a long time ago because you don't understand what odds are.
And you just put yourself in jeopardy because odds are, if there's a conflict and you're around, you're no longer armed.
You boob.
Ashton, are you there?
I am here.
My fellow gray sweatshirt wearer, do you go to UC Berkeley?
No, I don't curly.
I don't go to UC Berkeley, no.
Because your videos seem focused on that hellhole.
Well, I'm actually born and raised in Berkeley.
Ah.
What's the sentiment with the locals with UC Berkeley?
Are they all as crazy as that school?
I would say crazier just because UC Berkeley, the students tend to be a mix of...
I guess.
So, my family, I grew up in a very ritzy area of Berkeley where the average house is like $2 million.
So, even though people still support socialism, it's definitely like the whitewashed sense of what you usually get with Berkeley.
If you're going to go down in the downtown area, that's where you get where refused fascism is, where Revolution Books is, where you pretty much see a hammer and sickle graffiti wherever you go.
That's definitely the crazy part of Berkeley.
And of course, there's the campus where basically the indoctrination happens.
I mean, indoctrination happens all over Berkeley, but we're the true kind of sit down at a desk, like, here's your communist manifesto kind of indoctrination.
You know, it's funny how gays enrich an area in many senses.
Like here in New York, we had Williamsburg, which was a hellhole, and then the artists came in, then the gays came in and gentrified it and made it pretty.
But I'm realizing now, Ivy League schools, these liberal arts colleges, they really ruin a town.
I mean, Harvard arguably made Boston left-wing, even though it's a bunch of blue-collar Irish guys.
You got Madison, Wisconsin.
Wisconsin's pretty cool when it comes to the Second Amendment, the First Amendment, but Madison is Berkeley, basically.
And I would blame the school there, and maybe Berkeley ruined Berkeley.
I couldn't agree more, actually, because my father is from Berkeley.
My grandfather, you know, he moved to Berkeley when he was very young.
My grandmother was from Berkeley, born and raised.
So I'm a third generation Berkeley born and raised.
My grandmother's actually from Berkeley, too, so I'm actually fourth generation.
But in the 90s, when I was growing up, it was never as insane as it is now.
So it was always a liberal city.
That's something we can't deny.
But it's almost as if, and TF has been around Berkeley since the 1970s, but it's almost grown since 2005 just because if you were to, and it's definitely coming from UC Berkeley, no, I didn't actually, I was never actually a student at UC Berkeley.
I was never enrolled, but I took a few classes at UC Berkeley just to see what it was like.
And I was kicked out of class twice.
And, you know, you can definitely see what they're trying to produce at these liberal art colleges.
And the kind of people that are living there, or at least moving to Berkeley, they're definitely attracted to that just indoctrination and communist way of life.
Revolution Books, for example, which is kind of in the downtown Berkeley area, there is a commune above Revolution Books.
And Revolution Books, they'll tell you, is a volunteer-based bookshop.
Well, there's a commune right above it where they all live.
So these people are really attracted to the communist lifestyle.
And so, yeah, maybe your commune in Berkeley, California works.
But what they think is because it works for them, it's going to work with the entire country, which is what they're trying to push.
Right.
And so many communes are just cults.
I mean, it sounds like they got free labor for this bookstore where they probably work for free.
And that pays for the room and board where they're all crammed into a room.
How are you?
Can we get some light on your face, by the way?
You look like you're in the witness protection program.
Yeah, that's much better.
How are you perceived in Berkeley?
So my family essentially, my entire family basically exiled me for being as conservative.
Yeah.
So I sort of identified as like right wing.
I mean, I never really identified as right wing until like later on, but I've always been very anti-government growing up because my grandfather, he was a liberal, but he was like a JFK liberal.
He was a right-wing.
Right, well, liberals at Berkeley used to be sane.
I mean, they used to carry a big banner that said free speech now.
I mean, they were pro-free speech.
Yeah, my grandfather, he was a World War II veteran.
So he was always pro-free speech, pro-Second Amendment, very anti-government in a sense.
That's what America was based on.
So he was a JFK liberal, but he taught me everything that I know about.
He was one of the most intelligent people when it came to history, the Constitution, war history especially.
So a lot of my knowledge from all that came from him.
And so it's just interesting to me to see all of his grandkids.
Out of all of his grandkids, he had seven children, so you can imagine how many grandkids he had.
I am the only one that doesn't believe in socialism.
I'm the only one who knows that socialism is the worst thing we can do to this country.
So when I came out and said, oh, yeah, you know, I support the Second Amendment.
I'm pro-life.
I'm pro-free speech.
Even at means if people I disagree with or have a pedestal, I think everybody has the right to see what they need to say.
Better yet, I had the right to condemn them or have a disagreement with them or have a debate with them.
And simply by taking a picture with the Berkeley College Republican sign during the short time that I was taking glasses at Berkeley, I posted online and my family completely exiled me.
Who's your family now, mom and dad?
So my mom doesn't really talk to me either.
My dad, he's apolitical, so I still stay in contact with him.
It's mostly like my mom is like, she's not happy that I support Trump.
So she's not speaking to you?
Yeah, fairly.
That's incredible.
For, by the way, following the path of your grandfather.
Yeah, well, my grandfather's on my dad's side.
My dad still talks to me, obviously.
He's apolitical because he doesn't really care what your politics are.
A family's still family.
He understands that.
The rest of my family, my cousins, a couple of my aunts, they don't really talk to me anymore just because, you know, it's actually interesting.
My cousins, I've been blocked on Facebook.
I've had to go through this whole, I've had to, they only talk to me when it comes to politics because they feel the need to debate me.
And the moment they start to debate me, and I debate back, they have no rebuttal.
So they either delete their comments.
I can't even, you know what?
I'm not doing this right now.
I'm not doing this right now.
When you point out that they don't know what they're talking about.
Yeah, they either delete their comments.
They block me on Facebook or they unfriend me or something like that.
And it was funny because my dad went to his sister's birthday, who is my godmother, and I was unable to go because I was working that day.
But she's apolitical too.
Well, at least she doesn't care because it's family.
You shouldn't care about that kind of stuff.
Well, that's the way it's.
I mean, outside of Vietnam, which was a contentious time in America, that's the way it's always been, is the family comes first and then your own political beliefs are second.
But this is like the 70s and the 60s all over again.
Now it's just like you're ex yeah.
So what happens?
Sorry, he went to the birthday party.
So he went to my gunmother's birthday party and my cousin was there.
And out of nowhere, she kind of just brought me up and my dad was talking about me.
And then he met, and then she out of nowhere brought my boyfriend, Troy.
It was really interesting.
She knew my boyfriend's full name before my dad did.
And like, because she would read paper, like newspaper articles about him, and she assumed all these awful things about him because the things that are, the lies that are spread about him because we met Valarka and the Daily Cal are just absolutely awful.
And this is Troy from Red Elephants.
This is Troy Warden, a former president of Berkeley College Republicans.
Oh, right.
Sorry.
We've had him on the show.
Right, right, right.
Yeah, I'm in his room right now.
But yeah, like throughout Berkeley, it's weird.
Berkeley is supposed to be a city and an accepting atmosphere, but it's like rumors get around, especially political rumors.
And so my family has like the worst opinion of Troy, and they've never met him.
And my dad's the only person in my family who has met him.
And so my dad mentioned, he's like, wow, you know, Troy, he worked really hard to get into Berkeley.
You know, he's really intelligent.
She gets up, says, I hate the men in this family, and walks out of the house without saying happy birthday to my friends.
The men in this family.
The uncles are in trouble now.
Other cousins are in trouble now.
That's amazing.
Well, were you with Troy when you went to this coffee shop?
Yeah, he was with me.
So why don't you briefly explain what happened here because it looks remarkably violent.
So I was told about this coffee shop a while back when they refused to serve to police officers.
And where is it, sorry?
It's in Oakland, California, which is like right next to Berkeley.
Oakland is, I think, way more liberal than Berkeley, actually.
It's definitely more of a swamp hellhole.
But Berkeley has more of a history.
But Oakland, we went to Oakland, a woman who's actually from Oakland, she's the one who kind of put this whole thing together, and she's very, very supportive of our police officers.
And she said we want to do a flag wave in front of the coffee shop.
And so she, oh my God, this woman was insane.
But she was brilliant when she was doing this.
She had her flags and she had a megaphone talking about how people need a boy.
Like all she was saying was like, boycott this coffee shop.
They don't serve police officers.
They don't serve the people who serve and protect.
Like she wasn't saying anything rude.
She wasn't saying anything mean.
At least not until people were antagonizing her and threatening her.
Let's have a brief look at the video here.
So this is the woman with the blonde hair, the one with the megaphone.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's have a brief look at this.
Oh, no, the number two.
You two!
You saw a boy and lose a motherfucker!
I'm gonna get locked up, bro.
Get locked up.
Get back!
That's what he tells us to get back up.
That Asian dude looks real tactical.
He's really prepared.
Got the bent knees.
He's baseball ready, as we say in the MLB.
He was attacked at a few things.
I think he was attacked at Milo as well.
And he actually, he stood with me, and we protested a few things back when they wouldn't let Milo speak.
So he understands what might have gone down.
But it was interesting.
So that coffee shop, we were peacefully protesting.
We were not antagonizing them whatsoever.
People came out and they were screaming at us.
One guy threatened to shoot us.
I think after a while, it got to the point where this guy drives up in a truck, gets out of the truck, slams the door, leaving the truck in the street.
And I think someone came by and got the truck.
He got out of his truck.
His friend has a bat in his hand.
Is that on this video?
No.
Okay.
No.
But his friend is putting on these black gloves.
I think I got a few clips from someone else, but his friend is putting on some black gloves or something, asking people questions.
He asked Troy, are you a part of all this?
And Troy's like, no, I'm just standing by, you know?
Pretending like he has no idea what's going on, which I thought was the smartest option to do.
I mean, these people were scaring me.
And so the moment I hear some guys coming over and screaming, I get out my phone and decide to film it.
And he rips down someone else's flag.
He comes over, tries to rip down another guy's flag.
And Will Johnson has this on camera too, but he didn't get the actual fight.
And that's when Jacob, the Asian guy you mentioned, came over, pepper sprayed him to stop him from hitting the other guy.
Another member from Antifa came over and pepper sprayed them, accidentally pepper-sprayed me.
And that was painful.
And next thing you know, this fight breaks out where one guy is grabbing onto one guy's dreads from our side.
So one of our guys has a flag in his hand.
And the guy on their side grabs his dreads.
Let's have a brief look here.
We've got video footage.
That's the fun part about this interview.
Hey!
Hey, back up!
Hey!
They're really into ripping down the flags, aren't they?
We're getting a cops.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
It was really interesting because we were really obsessed with our flags.
And that happens at a lot of these events.
If you were to hold an American flag on UCU Berkeley campus or anywhere just like in a prominent area in Berkeley or Oakland especially, they will not be happy.
It doesn't even matter what the principal is.
Like if we were not protesting this coffee shop, if we were just in any random place in Berkeley holding a flag, they would come try to burn it or anything.
That's Really fascinating.
The American flag has become a KKK flag to them.
It reminds me of our buddy Jovi Valley got bottled in New York for wearing a MAGA hat.
And in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, the ER guy goes, America was never great.
So now saying make America great again or waving an American flag means I advocate us at our worst.
I advocate slavery.
I advocate the genocide of the Indians.
Go and cherry-pick our darkest moments, and that's now on my flag when I wave it.
I'm not talking about free enterprise or the Constitution or beating the British back or anything like that.
It's bizarre, isn't it?
Yeah, and if you even have a don't tread on me flag, it's even worse.
I have actually gotten attacked for holding up a don't tread on me flag.
A friend of mine got attacked at a band meeting for holding a don't tread on me flag.
So Ergo, tread on me.
I guess that's what they're saying.
They want you to tread on me.
They want government control.
I mean, they're communists, they're socialists.
They want government control.
They want to be taken over, obviously.
Well, this is amazing.
So we're out of time here, but I could talk to you all day.
A coffee shop refuses to serve cops.
You guys show up with American flags.
Everyone goes ballistic like you were there.
Honestly, like you're honestly being treated like a pedophile.
And the best part is, is that who do you think called the cops?
The coffee shop.
Yeah, the same coffee shop that refuses to serve cops.
A guy came out and threatened.
I'm going to call the cops.
Coffee shop bans cops.
You protest it and they call the cops.
Yeah.
And the cops showed up.
I mean, we see them here in this video.
That's the funny thing about cops.
When you say they suck and you say f ⁇ the police and fry them up like bacon, they still have to protect you.
And no one gives them credit for that.
Well, that's why they say a conservative is just a liberal who got mugged.
What a mess.
Well, thank you so much for coming on the show.
Let's have you back.
And I, I gotta say, I'm very impressed that you were willing to stand up to, Your own family is insane.
Well, yeah, I was raised by lunatics, so I guess I can stand up to them.
All right, well, keep fighting the good fight, and thanks for coming on the show.
Thank you for having me.
See ya.
God, I hate life hacks.
Don't you hate life hacks?
Look at this one.
This is not a joke.
This is a real thing someone put up in a life hack site to show you how to improve your life with just this one simple step.
What do you do?
You take an eraser, then you put some glue on your furniture.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
I don't want glue on my bookshelf.
Why did you just do that?
You use hot glue to glue an eraser with three tacks onto a shelf.
So this has the power to hold almost nothing.
All right.
What do you put on it?
Great music.
A pair of scissors, some...
You put on a pair of scissors, some tweezers, and four rubber bands.
I'll just put those on the shelf or I'll put them in a jar.
You're not improving my life.
Look at this idiotic one.
They always take a long time to do, too.
You got to sit there, cut out a shape of your phone.
Of course they're British.
Let's really drop the beat now on this awesome paper invention that's probably not safe.
Goes over some dumb European plug, and then you can stick your thing, you can stick your phone, your smartphone in the paper.
Look, Handyman Magazine is a very helpful mag that doesn't give you life hacks.
It shows you how to fix things, how to fix potholes, how to use, you know, PVC pipe to store your fishing rod.
That's smart.
All these other life hacks are for lazy people who have never fixed anything.
They're no Walt Kowalskis.
They've never repaired anything, so they just go, glue a zam tag to the wall and then hang four rubber bands on it.
You're not helping.
