Bye for now.
Bye.

Yeah.
The guy that I kissed, that's the guy.
Take him away under guard, okay?
Okay.
Good job.
Wait.
Thank you.
You betrayed the son of man with a kiss?
No, my lord.
I would follow you to the gates of hell.
Please, Judas.
What are you doing?
Judas! Judas! Stop fighting!
Lord! Come on! Let it happen!
Let it happen!
Judas! Judas!
Man, Judas is really trying to get in there with Jesus.
Is that a surprise?
What does that mean?
What, you don't know?
Oh yeah, Judas.
I mean, he's into that Mammon, Mr. Mistoffelees unnatural shit.
What?
I've never heard that.
How have you never heard that?
I mean, it's all over Nazarene.
Just ask Matthew.
The time after he had too much wine after the wedding, gets in there, starts playing grab ass with Matthew.
How come I've never heard this story?
No one tells me anything.
I mean, he gets in there.
He's going in there so aggressively.
I mean, Matt just thought it was a goof.
On tax day?
On tax day.
Judas gets around.
I mean, poor nephew couldn't get his work done.
Plus, the thing with Herod the Great.
No, shut up.
What happened with Herod?
Judas f****** f****** out of the f****** house.
And then he was like this, f****** this, and f****** boom.
I mean, he f****** Pythagorean'd him as f****** cute angles.
It was like f****** geometric f******ville.
Oh my gosh.
Uh, yeah.

It's June! Which marks, louder than crowders, 5th annual Cultural Appropriation Month.
Where we take you across the globe to learn about and appreciate all the cultures this world has to offer.
This week, we gave them freedom.
They gave us the Kia Sorento.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's South Korea!
I don't know!
So glad, because by the way, Cultural Appropriation Month, to appropriate is to appreciate.
It is true.
Very glad to be here with you today.
We have Michael Knowles on the show.
We'll be talking with Michael Knowles a little bit later on.
Everyone here seems very confused in the studio.
It's okay, you can still be present.
Don't worry, our careers have ended long ago.
Michael Knowles will be talking about the new Donald Trump polls, why it's... I don't want to...
Bullshit!
But let me introduce, we have Quarter Black Garrett is here with me.
We have Audio Wade, then we have Half Asian Style.
Okay, that's about all the commitment you would put to it.
And then, of course, Gerald A. Dennis Rodman is here.
I just want to go home, man.
I got on the wrong flight.
Can I go home?
It's a problem for everyone right now.
Delta isn't even giving out snacks.
Home!
Yes, we do have some facts, I guess, on North Korea.
But first, let me ask you this.
What do you think is the worst offense as far as pollsters getting things wrong, particularly when it comes to Donald Trump?
Obviously, people will mostly answer Trump.
But let's get a little more granular because we know that one was, they're bad.
When it comes to South Korea, a lot of people don't know this.
AudioAid, thank you for helping with the research.
Entering a Korean home, you should always take off your shoes as a sign of respect, and take off your hat as a sign of utter contempt, just to keep them guessing.
This year's South Korean film Parasite took home the Oscar for Best Picture, or as I call it, a gift, and the Korean Film Award for Least Shame Brought to the Family.
It's a new category.
It's a different deal.
They buried it in with the editors and the technical.
They did this commercially.
It's always an Asian who brings Lee Shin to the family.
That's all it is.
They are the ones that care.
Another fact about South Korea, since the 1950s their national slogan has been, South Korea, the one with food.
It's descriptive.
It really is helpful.
You know, if one phrase could describe it, there it is.
It's always weird to me when I see Psy from South Korea.
He was protesting the capital, the inherently discriminatory capitalist system.
Just grab some binoculars!
You guys are the closest to the examples.
Americans here, they're not going to go to Canada.
They're so far removed from socialism, let alone actual communism.
You're in the place where, by the way, it's still not that free, but they dox their citizens in South Korea.
Yeah.
What would you rather, you're the South, you're good Korea, and then there's bad Korea.
Don't become bad Korea.
I am tired of being good Korea.
Nice Japanese voice.
That was Japanese.
What is a Korean accent?
I'm not really sure.
Is it more similar to Chinese?
Why are you looking at me?
No, no, no.
This is what Bill does.
This is what half-Asian Bill does.
Before the show, he goes, I'll just be Psy.
I'll put on some sunglasses.
But then people will think you're Korean.
He goes, I don't give a sh**.
Now he acts like I'm the one.
Look, look, look.
Pho, racial outrage is my favorite thing.
The white people, they get so comfortable, you lure them in, and then you slam them.
Straight face.
Also, Pho, delicious.
It is delicious.
Is that Korean?
No, it's Vietnamese.
Pho.
Vietnamese.
Pho.
One, it's pronounced Pho.
Two, it's not Korean.
Not to an American.
Three, your hair looks great.
It does look fantastic.
That's his natural hair, actually.
I guess the only, the pop music in South Korea is very gay.
It is very effeminate.
No, I didn't say effeminate.
I don't want to tar all women.
It's gay.
So before we go into the news, first, everyone, remember to stretch before you pander.
It's better not to have on high heels.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Woo!
Yes, but that brings us to right away, who did it better?
I do miss that man.
Yeah.
With the this.
He's got the rhythm.
Either he's doing the time warp, or he's culturally appropriating because he's appreciating.
And no one there was upset.
People get so mad.
They're like, that's ours.
George Bush is not.
He doesn't think that he's actually won.
He's going like, what are you guys doing over here?
You beat on this girl?
Dude, Matthew McConaughey there.
Hopefully you keep your pants on.
None of the funny plants.
Ho!
It breaks into Michael Jackson's Thriller.
There's a lot of this.
It's sort of the Backstreet Boys with the Backstreet's Back.
I can't remember a time when they weren't back.
Like where did you go?
Back again and then two years later we're back again and we're here for real and like we're here again but we really mean it this time.
Thank you.
They needed more attention.
We will be talking about the Donald Trump polls.
I'm looking forward to that because a lot of people have been a little bit upset.
You don't need to worry about it.
Do not lose sleep over it.
Do lose sleep over the naked Chris Cuomo video though.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to make that go away?
Chris Cuomo, the video was uploaded, his wife was doing yoga and then he was naked in the background.
And you can't find the clip anywhere.
I'm betting CNN paid more to make that go away than Bill O'Reilly's Skype with the purple apparatus.
You should just let it live on.
This helps his image.
We'll find it.
So, of course, leading the news after the nationwide call now to defund the police, which we'll be talking about more on Monday in Good Morning Monk Club, it was reported this week that one of the longest-running TV shows, I believe, ever, Cops, has been cancelled.
Think of that for a second now.
They're canceling cops because it has cops in it.
Interesting.
It's not, you know, it was like, well, there are some bad cops and there's some good cops.
No, cancel cops.
Why?
Because there are cops.
I understand your grievance.
Well, I don't.
It's because they're always abusive, that's why.
Right.
And one thing, obviously, I'm kind of joking, because it turns out that the initial reports it was trending, they were actually incorrect.
And we always have to correct it when the media is doing their job.
The show is not cancelled entirely.
It's going to be reformatted.
It comes back in a different way.
This is how production works.
We actually have, from the new format, an exclusive sneak peek.
Tonight on No Cops Stay tuned for more No Cops
Whatcha gonna do?
you And I will stay tuned.
I'm excited about that.
It is a riveting program.
I would love to see the next installment.
Who you gonna call?
I want to make the joke.
So with public restrooms, they've been closed.
Obviously thousands of protesters have been packing the streets.
New York City's public urination problem is on the rise.
And so they've been talking about this.
So as we all struggle with the new normal, New York City gets to stay the same.
Look, I don't know what that city would be like if it didn't smell like urine all the time.
I don't know.
It has a cleansing effect.
It would be worse.
I watched a homeless man take a dump right in front of me.
Really?
Yes, a human take a crap.
No shame.
And there was a cop right near me.
I was like, I've got other things to do.
That's New York.
To be fair, you need to clarify New York City, because initially we wrote that as New York.
Right, right, right.
Albany?
Yeah.
Schenectady?
Rockwell?
And actually, to be fair, Rockwell does have They have Pissing Ralph, and that's a problem.
He's doing better.
Pissing Ralph, are you?
I can't help it, I just like pissing on things.
It's a part, it's who I am.
Ralph, are you pissing right now?
I'm doing better.
Stop lying to yourself.
Porsche connectivity.
Pissing Ralph, he migrates.
He's a roamer.
Pissing Ralph, he migrates.
He's a roamer.
He's a roaming pissing Ralph.
Uh, turning in, let's turn to the latest peaceful protest news.
A Wisconsin man threatened to unleash, this is my new hero, unleash bees if a protest turned into a riot.
I love it!
He was armed with 12 crates of what he called his riot control bees.
Wow!
Bees!
Most affected by the debacle, of course, Antifa.
Let us pray in silence.
Wanna go tree climbing, Thomas J?
His face hurts.
And where is his glasses?
He can't see without his glasses.
Put his glasses on!
Put on his glasses!
In real life, sometimes the fascists win.
It's sad.
Bees everywhere!
Sometimes they're tiny fascists, but there are many of them.
Little, yes.
They start them young.
The good news is the fascists die after they sting you, so... Tyrants!
Is that accurate?
Do bees die when they release their stinger?
I don't know.
Not all the time.
I mean, I thought so.
That's what I thought, too.
Not all the time.
Tweet me!
Help us understand bees.
I know wasps don't, but I don't know the bees.
Oh, the bee-ologists.
And you're not going to Google it.
No.
Hey, remember when that was a thing?
We were running out of bees.
Remember that?
We're not running out of bees anymore.
Every few years.
I hear about this a lot in the wine business.
Right.
Well, now we have the Japanese killer hornets.
I think they call them Asian killer hornets now because they're not just from Japan.
Well, they filed agreements.
Yeah.
They call them non-white hornet bees.
Non-binary.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Really?
My mom's soul wife, yeah.
It was painful, but after a month... She got the anti-venom, which ironically is just from another... It's from a Latvian killer hornet.
One anti-venom is another hornet's venom venom.
Just like the Brazilian Wandering Spider, it's venom actually gives you boners.
Really?
And then you die.
Death by priapism.
Death by long, painful erection from the Brazilian Wandering Spider.
Painful.
Could you write... Could Mel Gibson In the apocalypto rough draft, write a worse way to die.
By the way, guys, I got an idea for Spider.
Wait, that's what Monica was helping Bill with.
Oh, jeez.
Look, you gotta do what you gotta do to get rid of priapism, okay?
I don't think you know what priapism is or you wouldn't joke about it.
You wouldn't take it so lightly.
In social justice news, this is very serious.
These are serious things.
Death boners.
In social justice...
It's a real thing!
It's horrifying!
It's not a joke!
Can you imagine that?
Because the first 5-10 minutes, you'd be like, Guys, look at this!
Do I need to get people to come in and verify?
And you think it's kind of cool, the novelty, then 30-40 minutes in, you might say, I think there's a problem here.
Four hours in, I'm getting lightheaded, and then you die, and it can't be open casket.
Does it go away after you die, or is it just forever like a monument to why you died?
I don't know.
By the way, I have a story after the show that I want to talk about.
You guys know what I'm talking about.
You don't want to hear the story.
In social justice news, New York City, they'll have a street named Black Lives Matter in each borough.
Progressive.
Yeah, so this is a push.
It's not necessarily new.
Now, what a lot of people haven't taken into consideration is this means that, of course, they're going to have to rename A street that already exists will have to be changed.
So the Brooklyn City Council is currently debating over whether it will be Martin Luther King Jr.
Street, Malcolm X Way, or I Hope You Brought Your Steering Wheel Lock Boulevard.
So that's... Very apt.
Well, I mean, that one's just helpful.
Probably shouldn't change that.
Probably shouldn't.
It's really, it seems like it should be, it's more of a guideline.
That's great.
Less a rule, more just a tip.
We wouldn't want to victim blame.
No, we would not want to victim blame.
Finally, this is another one, because we're international here, at an international wine competition.
This was a big surprise.
It wasn't a French wine that won.
It wasn't even an American wine.
If you guys saw Bottle Shock, you know it's a Mexican wine.
was named the best Cabernet Sauvignon in the world.
Have you tried this?
No.
I've had Mexican wine, but I don't know this wine.
Have you had Mexican wine that should be the best wine in the world?
Nope.
And why?
Just racist.
No, because they can't make great wine.
And that's because they're Mexican.
Did you hear what he said?
It's because of location.
Because of their location.
Oh wait, did you hear that?
It's because of climate.
Dog whistle.
Climate's a dog whistle now?
Did you just say they're not bringing their best?
Is that what you said?
No.
They're bringing their best.
Make tequila.
They won!
They brought their best and they won.
Bring tequila.
By definition, you can't hear the dog whistle.
Granted, Gerald, I will say, I will give you this.
When you look at the judging process, it seems that there might have been some inherent bias.
Damn my sh**, man.
See?
Remember Gerald is the racist.
Whoa!
How am I the racist?
By the way, is it considered Mexican-face if a Colombian does it?
I still can't understand why Tekashi69 can say the N-word repeatedly when he's half-Mexican and Puerto Rican.
He's got the camouflage on his face.
Yeah, I don't know what he... Yeah, he blends in with a bouncy hop.
How many tattoos does it take until it turns into blackface?
What is a bouncy hop?
Well, you know, you trampoline with kids.
Bouncy hop.
Where Gerald used to hang out.
Sorry, this is America.
We need you to speak American.
You mean a bounce house?
Is it called a bounce house?
Yes, a bounce house.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
Maybe where you're from, Mr. I-don't-know-Chinese-or-Korean.
Well, it is bouncy and they do hop, so it was descriptive.
Okay.
Well, listen, I apologize to those who tuned in to the show for my accuracy in children's novelty toys.
You won't find it here.
You lost them.
They're all gone.
Thanks, half-Asian.
Thanks, Psy.
Now I gotta reel them back in.
They're never coming back.
Anyone have any ball pen jokes?
I'm just... It's a ball pen.
We can go back to the bottle pen.
Son of a bitch!
Ball pen?
Meat segment on this.
This is why we need immigration reform.
Screw you.
And f*** your bouncy hop.
Man, we have a censor button.
It's okay.
Right, YouTube?
So, let's get into the polls here, because everyone has been talking about this.
And I think, listen, polls matter.
You can't be someone who entirely discounts them, but the methodology matters as well.
And I think we, and we'll come back to this, polls are just as much, or they have morphed into just as much a tool to try and shape public opinion as much as they're supposed to be sort of a temperature gauge of public opinion.
But this is the newest CNN poll.
Let them say it.
Is this translating into support for his opponent in November, Joe Biden?
It overwhelmingly is.
Take a look at this matchup that we have.
It's just, it's unbelievable to me.
55% of voters right now say that they would vote for Joe Biden.
Only 41% say they vote for the president.
And that 55% is so important because it means that Biden's over 50%.
I went back, I looked at the polls back in 2016.
From this point onward, Hillary Clinton never reached this level.
She never got there.
She never got above 50%.
So this means, especially looking at the other polling, that the president will have to take back some of Biden's supporters if in fact he wants to win.
Okay, either first shave your chest or wear a tie.
There's something very disturbing about that chest hair with... Can you imagine that guy opening a Christmas present?
This is exactly what I wanted!
The best of the Guess Who!
You know, the fact is, there's paper on this.
I'm familiar with them.
It's their hits and no bee signs.
I hate bee signs.
Sucks.
Just what I wanted.
You know, I really, I learned my polling methodology through years of time spent abroad in lockers.
Stephen, 55, by the way, is greater than 50, as he said.
Very, very key point.
And I mean, when I say, I mean more than, my right, your left, if you do this, if you do this, really, and then, I'm just, I'm so itchy here, it's like I'm wearing a sweater vest.
I'm a horrible human.
It's something that I think they shouldn't have done.
It's silly.
And this is a perfect example of ego.
The Trump campaign sent a cease and desist letter to CNN, which of course they've ignored.
And I don't say that he shouldn't send a cease and desist because it's inaccurate.
I just don't think it looks good.
But let's look at the actual methodology of the poll.
So it may come as no surprise that the source of the poll, or the worst polls that they're discussing there for Donald Trump, is CNN.
Yeah, that's the actual source for the poll.
And if you're taking the methodology, again, for people who go, this looks really bad, I'm Hillary Clinton.
Well, hold on a second.
If you're taking different sample sizes, only 25% were Republicans, 32% Democrats, and 44% Independents.
And what really matters there is whoever is conducting the poll, that high number of Independents, you can really stack that deck.
You can hand-pick Independents.
Yeah, that's a terrible... 33% of people that voted in the last election were Republicans, right?
So 25, that's crazy.
You shouldn't have that low a number at any point.
Absolutely.
And when you take that, the poll is surprising.
It's surprising that he's even as close as he is.
It should be far worse than that.
I feel like from a reliability standpoint, is anyone thinking that CNN has a solid list of conservative phone numbers?
Right, exactly.
I don't know.
They're like, well, I looked through my friend's list.
Yeah, no, alright, here, let's pick these guys.
Alright, done.
Yeah, pretty much.
much time. You know I looked on to Jonathan Crone who's formerly concerned was the inspiration
for my nasal reconstructive surgery. That's why I'm able to be as articulate as I am.
So we just polled the family four or five times. And let's look by the way let's look
at how CNN is framing their own poll. Okay a couple of things here but this is where
they say that there has been overwhelming support for the protest. See the catch. This
is one of the first sort of measures of whether or not people are agreeing with these protests
or not. And what we see is that they overwhelmingly are agreeing with the protest. 84 percent
84% say that they are justified, these peaceful protests.
Yeah, okay!
83% said that these peaceful... the word peaceful was slipped in there.
84% of people support peaceful protests.
What about violent protests?
Did we ask them?
Yeah, the number drops to 27%.
And keep in mind, that's with a sample of 75% non-Republican voters.
Right, and we know that we can historically trust CNN polls because they called Hillary Clinton the winner by, what, 99%?
Well, yeah, but we're getting a little deeper into it.
So when it's 33% and they do 25%, that's an 8-point swing in the poll.
Right, so it would actually drop it down 8 points, plus 3.4% plus or minus.
He's pretty much right neck and neck.
And by the way, another thing, they oversampled, and they said this, they oversampled black non-Hispanic people by 250 out of 1200 and something.
They oversampled a population right now that's very frustrated with the president, either rightfully so or not in this poll.
You know Dennis Rodman has spent a lot of time in Korea when he's doing statistics.
I just want to bring us together.
I want North Korea to understand it.
I want to go home.
I just want to go.
You know, I watched the documentary on Dennis Rodman.
By the way, it's alarming as to how much you look like a white Dennis Rodman.
It makes me wildly uncomfortable.
I watched this documentary and my wife and I felt bad for him because you see his rough upbringing, sure, but then you realize there are a ton of people who all, and this is a perfect example of when people talk about privilege, there are a ton of people who've had just as terrible of an upbringing who didn't turn into p****.
Yeah, well, and he had the whole blindside thing happening, too, where a family takes him in and tries to help him out.
Not everybody who's had a rough upbringing gets that same treatment.
But to his credit, he's not really a racist, which I appreciate about him.
He's very open about the fact that he didn't see it as black-white.
He saw it as some people were hateful in the South versus people who weren't.
And he's open about a lot of things.
His sexuality, which way he goes.
Close it back up!
Bottle it down!
No bottle it down!
Okay, I'll go home!
And this is something that I think is very important, because first off, we've showed how the sampling did.
And by the way, when we're talking about peaceful protests, can you name me any major city where over the course of these two weeks, any major city, I'm not talking about 20 people down in a suburb, any major city where once the lights went out, the protests didn't result in any violence.
And keep in mind, when I say that, I'm not saying any protest where there wasn't $25 million in property damage like you saw in Minneapolis alone.
Let's just compare it to the Tea Party, meaning zero crime.
That's the standard.
Zero crime.
Cleaner than when they got there.
Any big city where that's been the case in the last two weeks.
You can't name one.
Again, there have been isolated protests, small, and I want to be in the suburbs in the middle of the day, and then the lights go down and the tear gas comes up.
And by the way, it should be 100% of Americans okay with peaceful protests.
Yes.
That's part of one of the rights that we have.
We can protest injustice, peacefully.
I would answer yes.
Everybody should be fine with that.
I would answer yes if the question was peaceful protest.
Who are the other 13 or whatever percent it was?
Jerks.
Fascist bees.
Here's something that's pretty important.
There's a difference between polling people on what they think of a personality versus specific policies, right?
So let's go to some specific policies because they talk about Donald Trump and how he's not polling very well in any given area, but the poll is really, what do you think of Donald Trump on blank?
Well, when you go to specific policies, and I think this is important because 71% of Americans, we've talked about this, they support using the National Guard to address protests and demonstrations.
That's 71%.
So that's different from, how do you feel about peaceful protests?
58% supported sending in the actual military.
Wow.
Right?
That's huge.
58% supported, 71% support using the National Guard.
Which candidate supported the National Guard?
Which candidate excoriated the President for wanting to sit in the National Guard?
There's only one person who's had the balls to say, alright, we're going to sit in the National Guard.
And that's going against the grain with everyone in the media and entertainment industry, so it's important to keep that in context.
Now, I say this because that was pointed to as the most extreme right-wing.
Radical right-wing extremists, fascism, they want to send in the National Guard.
71% of Americans, not saying that polling makes something morally justified.
In this case, constitutionally, I believe it's morally justified to protect the rights of citizens.
It's legal.
That being said, 71% of Americans support it.
Now let's contrast that, that's radical right-wing extremism, send in the National Guard, with radical left-wing extremism.
Defunding the police and renaming streets and buildings.
No, no, no.
The public outcry over George Floyd's death has ignited debate and action on police reform and a lot of people advocating for what they have taken to calling defunding the police.
The phrase even appears in large yellow letters on the newly named Black Lives Matter Plaza on 16th Street near the White House.
Yeah, because you were saying no, no, no before we went.
I was saying no, no, no, that's not the only part because they're not just defunding the police.
If you look at the Seattle Autonomous Zone, they're replacing them with SoundCloud rappers who now have, who are armed and extorting businesses to fund the food and the weapons in those areas.
But we just don't call them police.
Listen, Bill, those rappers are just waiting for their break, okay?
Give them a minute.
Not all of them can be ambassadors.
They could be waiting tables at Starbucks or something, but this is better.
I hate to go back to that Tekashi 6ix9ine character, but I will say, even in a culture that is phony with gangster and how tough they are, for some reason kids have decided to support the whore gangster rapper who went to prison for snitching on the gang and then was allowed out because of his actions.
Snitches get asthma.
Where's my inhaler, dude?
It's got like a blinged-out inhaler.
Gold-plated.
I don't need Whippets!
I got Broncade!
Snitches get asthma.
Snitches get asthma.
Snitches get venilin, y'all!
Woo!
Where's my inhaler?
He's got like a blinged out inhaler.
Gold-plated.
I don't need whippets, I got bronchate, I don't give a f***!
We did drugs that could harm us.
HARM US.
So, while we're talking about police, defunding the police, wildly unpopular, only 16% of Americans support defunding the police, while 65% oppose it, 19% are unsure.
I guess those are the SoundCloud rappers.
But again, this is so remarkable because some people will say, well, you're misrepresenting it.
Defund the police.
That just means defunding it to a degree.
Some people believe that, but that's not what is being demanded by Black Lives Matter.
You have the mayor of Minneapolis who checked his privilege and recognized his own brokenness as a white person.
Be drummed out of the court by thousands of people for saying that he didn't support the outright abolition of police.
That is not a minority opinion.
That's the Minneapolis City Council opinion.
Let's be clear.
So even if you're saying, well that poll might be tainted.
65% oppose it.
Only 16% of Americans support that policy.
So, this is why this is important to me, when they constantly say, we have this radical extreme right wing on YouTube, right?
People going on the radical rabbit hole.
Let's take the furthest right opinion, as it was presented, sending in the National Guard.
How dare you?
This is fascism.
71% of Americans don't see it that way.
They support it.
Then let's take the furthest left opinion that we can have right now in this current conflict, defunding the police.
65% opposed to it.
So I ask you, which wing, as represented officially by the heads of their party, is more radical?
Yeah, and if you listen to just how the media describe it, you would think that everybody wants to defund the police, and that's a great idea, right?
So in this same poll, they said, how are race relations generally in America, right?
So this kind of speaks to the same media bias, and people are like, oh, they're terrible.
And they go, well, how about in your area?
Oh, they're fantastic!
Right?
It just flipped, and I'm like, that's the media bias, because you see this on the screen every day, and you think, oh, things are terrible everywhere, but when you look around outside of reality, it's not terrible.
It's not terrible.
It's getting better every day, okay?
North Korea's getting better every day!
Go home.
Okay.
He's trying!
They won't let me go home!
He had to be coached on, even though it's his character, but he was walking around the office going, oh, I'm like, no, wrong one.
Where's my glowy finger?
Anyone want to dress up like a girl alien?
By the way, hit the notification bell.
Hit all notifications if you're watching, of course, on YouTube right now, because subscriptions don't mean a whole lot.

It's the only way that we make any dollar-dollar bills, as Tekashi699 would say.
Or as he would say, That's his rhyme.
Are those dollar bills?
No, that's his rhyme.
Is that the equivalent?
His rhyme is... Make that blank pop!
Really?
That's talent these days.
You'd be kicked off of Whose Line Is It Anyway as a cameo.
I gotta check this guy out.
He sounds really good.
The Warhol of rap.
Alright, so this is another point we need to get to and then we have Michael Knowles coming up after this.
And I want you again, you to tell me what you see as, because it was tough to pick them out, what you see as the worst example of media bias as it relates to polls.
There are several reasons, by the way, that pollsters have gotten things wrong.
Absolutely.
Remember when it used to be Trust Silver, Trust Nate Silver?
Now it's just like... Oops.
Oops.
Eh, whoo.
That's the, that's his website subtext.
It's just.
It's like a gif now.
So it has a lot to do, like you said, with how the media covers Donald Trump.
There's something called social desirability bias.
I'm going to get a little bit wonky, but I'll try and keep it short because I know that you, you know, we are in pink hairdos.
Social desirability bias, okay, it's the tendency of respondents in polls or surveys, they lie about their actual beliefs sometimes because they want to answer in a way that they view as more socially acceptable.
So as it relates to voting, This social desirability bias.
I'm saying this so you know what it is.
If you haven't been to college, you'll probably hear about it there.
It created something called the Bradley Effect, named after Tom Bradley.
He was a black candidate, lost in the 80s in California.
It was a gubernatorial race, despite the fact that he was leading in the polls.
But people didn't want to be perceived as racist.
They said, I'll vote for that guy.
And then they went back home and said, are you voting for that guy?
I said, no.
So you just told them that you were going to vote for that guy?
I said, yeah, it's because right behind him was a Black Panther with a baton.
So they said they were going to vote for him because he was, even though
they weren't going to vote for him, right? And then there have been case studies in this.
Now let's, for context, take a look at the way the media has actually covered President Trump.
Most presidents would use a crisis like that as an opportunity to bring the country together
and to denounce hatred, but not this president.
Over the last 12 months, Trump has instead amplified his racist rhetoric and policies.
I've talked about the president.
The president is a racist.
As a matter of fact, I've known that the president is a dangerous human being, a would-be dictator, who would move in the direction that he's doing.
President Trump today denying that his racist tweets were racist.
Today, it is the United States of America, the former beacon of the free world, that is the subject of global revulsion and disgust because of the raw, ugly racism and ethno-nationalism of our president.
And by the way, every single source is the previous clip.
I knew for a long time Donald Trump could be a racist and dangerous man!
Really?
How'd you know that?
I've seen it!
All the other times I've said that, you remember?
Jake Tapper and s***!
Good, okay, now we understand.
So the principle again, not wanting people, we talk about the Bradley effect, to perceive you as racist, well how do you think people are going to respond when the media consistently says, If you support Donald Trump, you're a racist.
Racist, racist, racist.
The MAGA symbol, the OK symbol, which is, by the way, don't tell Home Alone 2.
It's on the cover, for crying out loud.
This is racist.
This is white supremacy.
If you vote for Donald Trump, it's white supremacy.
Check your privilege.
Voting for Donald Trump is white privilege.
You probably will want to avoid being perceived as racist.
And so that's another reason that the polls can't be relied upon.
Not always, but specifically, we've seen historically with Donald Trump.
Yeah, and not only do they do that, not only do they portray him as a racist with no evidence on the screen at all, they also remove everything that would actually show him.
I don't know, he gave Arsenio Hall the Celebrity Apprentice win.
I know, right?
And that guy sucks at everything!
video that we saw the other night from his campaign that was taken down by
Twitter because somebody you know had a problem with being in a video that they
public footage right and every full quote all the full videos Donald Trump's
a racist well if you play the next 30 seconds you'll see he wasn't talking
about that right all of those things are pulled off so the only thing that you
see is what they have to say about him not facts right and what's I think the
other part of this is how many people are out there going oh I'm gonna vote
for they say publicly I'm gonna vote for Donald Trump and then are actually
gonna go home and vote for someone else.
Far less.
Right, consider the social desirability, and if you need proof, look at 2016.
If the fact that they think that this is accurate polling shows the fact that they're desperate to create it.
So I definitely get the point about why the letter was sent, and I'm with you.
I disagree with the letter being sent.
I think it looks weak.
In fact, you should have just sent one that just said, you're wrong.
That would have been better than anything.
Right, that would have been better, but ultimately, Bill, polling is wrong.
I do have a question for you on a legal front.
So I read the entire letter, and at the bottom of it, it basically said, because you've been notified, you can't destroy any information related to this polling.
And they list it out, just like a paragraph of things.
Do you think at some point they're going to go and try to say, like, just release to us how you conducted the poll?
Can they ask that?
Can they send us internal emails about conducting this poll?
Was it biased?
Are they trying to prove that by sending this letter?
So that's called a litigation hold.
It's a notice that you send.
You don't have to send it.
So people have an obligation to preserve things if they think there might be litigation.
But you put them on notice to say, preserve all your records because we might come have
to get them from you as part of litigation.
But it's not just that.
It's text.
They wrote facsimiles.
Right, so when you look and you look at how the poll came about and what was the
purpose in doing it and what were the conversations, that may be something that
they're looking at for down the road, which is why they sent that notice in
the first place. Again, you could have sent that notice without the rest of it.
Right.
But, you know, either way, look, there's certainly some thought went into it.
Right.
And I want to go back to your point.
I think you're absolutely right, because people say, well, it cuts both ways.
No.
What is the likelihood of someone saying to a pollster, I'm going to vote for Donald Trump, and then not?
Because answering a pollster to their face or on the phone, yeah, I'm voting for Donald Trump, is the equivalent to slapping your balls on the table and saying, suckle, suckle, suckle, suckle, huh?
Come on, num-num balls?
Num-num balls?
That's what it's like.
Right?
As opposed to the people who are afraid, kneeling.
It's allegorical.
I picked up.
No, I picked them up because, you know, lack of collagen.
There you go.
Stretchy.
Shea butter will help.
It's just like a sequel to Flubber.
The point is, bouncing off the walls, green tint.
Yeah.
No, I think you're absolutely right.
That's important to take into context.
Yeah.
That was McCree and doing that's always funny when you have a Canadian or a Brit or now you have South Koreans trying
to mimic the American inner-city black accent, it's like
You're not though You're not.
Another thing that isn't measured by polls—we'll go to Michael Knowles in just two seconds here—there's simple approval and disapproval, right?
And it glosses over enthusiasm.
And I know that a lot of people say, well, enthusiasm doesn't matter because people are either going to vote or they're not.
No, actually, it's a more significant determiner in who actually gets out and votes on Election Day.
And that's the reason there's this huge discrepancy between likely voters and then actual voters.
And these polls are likely voters.
And specifically, really, from From Al Gore onward, outside of Barack Obama, you can think of Al Gore, you can think of John Kerry with John Edwards, and then you can think of Hillary Clinton, of course.
There really has been an enthusiasm problem on the left.
So Hillary Clinton, right, she led significantly among likely voters, but then trailed With actual voters.
Now, recent polls show that among registered voters who support Trump, 55% of them are very enthusiastic about backing him.
For Biden, it's half at 28% are very enthusiastic.
And I tell you what, those 28% are committed to the lie.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, and just to go to your point... Like when they say, I really... No, I'm going to enthusiastically vote for Biden.
It's like, you threw up in your mouth a little bit.
I did.
I swallowed it back.
You got me.
They'll probably forget, just like Joe Biden will, he'll forget he's running for president by election day, but nonetheless.
In the CNN poll, it goes back to your point, 70% of the people that said that they were voting for Trump, they said it's because I want Trump to win.
60% of the people voting for Biden didn't say it because they like Biden, they said it's they were voting against Trump.
Right.
Right?
So that's not enthusiasm for your candidate, that's just being pissed off in a moment.
That can change drastically.
Yeah, no.
That's a good point.
We'll wrap this up.
I think it's important, again, the most important takeaways from this poll is A. CNN is not a news organization.
Okay?
B. Number one.
I think we can all agree.
They would have been better off, they would have had more cover if they didn't release this poll.
CNN, just the facts.
Yeah, but you did a poll with 75% non-Republican respondents!
Hold on, hold on.
Let's just remember, CNN searched high and low and asked every pollster they could, can anyone come up with these numbers?
No?
Alright, let's make our own.
Chris Cuomo was like, I want to get Mr. Gallup on the phone.
This is Chris Cuomo.
Well, first off, there is no Mr. Gallup, and second, you're naked.
I don't know if this is another wife yoga video.
It's what I do.
Well, then I guess I'll take Mr. Quinnipiniac.
Put your d*** away, Chris.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
So, number one, CNN is not a news organization.
Two, there's a huge difference between polling people on personality traits, like how do you think Donald Trump presents the country?
Do you think Donald Trump is right?
Versus specific policies.
Should we send in the National Guard?
Should we defund the police?
Those are the polls that you should be looking at to get a more accurate gauge at this point, and still taking into account that there is a huge handicap, 75% non-Republican responders with CNN.
And the most important takeaway here, That's what it's for.
It's to walk people down the path of rationalizing their own argument.
pattern or your canvassing patterns at all.
You still need to go out, you still need to change people's minds.
That's what change my mind, right?
Didn't exist before the last election.
That's what it's for.
It's to walk people down the path of rationalizing their own argument.
There are far more people, as you see with these individual policy polls, who are more
conservative than they realize.
So all of you have a job to do that.
Don't think, well, because there's high enthusiasm, Donald Trump's going to win anyway.
Assume that he won't.
Assume the worst and work for the best.
Know that these polls, every time one of these polls comes out, they are used to try and manipulate the American public perception of elections just as much as they used to be used to try and gauge where the election is actually going.
That's not the case anymore.
Polls are a political tool at this point.
Be aware of it and do your part.

This is always awkward when it's Cultural Appropriation Month and I have to bring on a guest, and I just see them on the break.
Not awkward at all.
Watching from Skype, and they go... And you can see them talking to their publicist, you know, but they're just like this.
They mute their mics.
They're going, oh, okay, and then... What the f***?
Our next guest, actually, he's a host of a program there at the Daily Wire program, and he's an avid cigar smoker, so on the web Extended for Mug Club, we'll talk about that more.
Or as Black Lives Matter knows him, every negative stereotype of a white guy, host of the Michael Knowles Show, Mr. Knowles, how are you, sir?
I'm doing very well and I appreciate the intro because the one thing that Black Lives Matter has gotten right is everything they've said about me.
They're wrong about everything else but I will admit they got that part right.
What has their chant been for you?
He looks kind of generically ethnic but no one claims him.
Ethnically ambiguous.
Hey, hey, ho, ho.
We don't know what race is Michael Knowles.
What is you, man?
So, okay, so they don't like you.
Let me ask you, well, you're in, you're in, can I, I don't, I'm not letting the cat out of the bag.
You're in DC right now, right?
I am, yeah.
So I'm pretty much in the heart of darkness.
At least I'm not in the autonomous zone of Seattle.
But D.C.
is pretty crazy here.
I mean, there are boards up everywhere.
You know, mostly it's shop owners graffitying their own restaurants saying, like, we support BLM, please don't loot us, you know, minority-owned business, that kind of thing.
And, you know, we were shooting, I do this show with Senator Cruz called Verdict.
We were shooting at the White House yesterday.
They were taping.
So we're sitting there, we were talking to the Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
You know, you'd think pretty good soundproofing.
No, we actually had to cut at one point because the peaceful protesters, quote-unquote, outside were so loud and they were so close to the White House that we were picking it up on our podcast mics It's pretty wild out here.
Well, you need to get a cardioid, first off.
But, no, we have something similar, except we have some workers in the office next door,
primarily black.
But one of them keeps coming in because he wants a job and he thinks we need drugs.
And that's not a joke.
Not a joke at all.
Comes over to one of our roosters, he's like, man, what do you want?
I got, I got what you need.
And he actually did that, and we were like, oh.
And then he came in one day in a motorcycle accident, and he had multiple body parts in a cast, and we were like, what happened?
Did you just come back from the Revolutionary War?
He's like, I'm rolling in.
And his motorcycle's still back there.
But, so different, you know, bridging the cultural divide.
What have you seen down there?
You know, I went down to Dallas, Deep Elm, where everything was boarded up.
And that's one thing, you know, a lot of people, they see the protests that turn into riots, and they want to say most of them are peaceful, but what you definitely notice is the media, they don't go down to deal with the refuse, right, that's left over here, all the trash.
What is it like, accurately, in D.C.?
Is it pockets?
Is it most of the city?
What's the vibe?
No, it's most of the city, and particularly in the areas with power, you know, by the Capitol or by the White House.
It's really closed up, and the main thing I'm noticing is people are just afraid, you know?
I mean, the Seattle example is the one that I think is the most extreme now.
They basically declared their own territory.
But there's this kind of irony to it, which is all of these well-meaning, mostly white liberals actually believe what the radicals, Antifa, the radical Marxists, the anarchists, what they all say is we want to get rid of the police, we want to get rid of borders.
That's obviously BS, because the minute they take over a territory, They set up their own police gangs.
They set up their own borders.
It's not that they want to get rid of government and police.
They just want to get rid of your government and police.
And guess what?
The one they're bringing in ain't going to be a whole lot nicer.
No.
Well, I've heard that the autonomous zone is entirely peaceful and there was a Bob Dylan cover band.
Is that not true?
You know, one thing I always notice is they always say it's mostly peaceful protests that unexpectedly turned a little bit violent, but the rioters are totally different than the protesters, even though they're in the same place at the same time for the same reason, and they're dressed the same way, and they're the exact same people.
Right, exactly.
It's like, can't you guys just at least do shirts and skins?
We can't know!
Make it easier for us.
You know what the standard is?
I say, okay, when you say peaceful, as peaceful as all of the Tea Party protests, go.
And they go, are you going to consider violating curfew?
Yep!
Actually, as a matter of fact, any peaceful protest where they leave the area cleaner than they found it.
Major City now, I'm not talking about four people on a street corner in Poughkeepsie.
That's what they point to.
They point to a suburban area where they know everyone's carrying and so people are, they're on their best behavior.
I don't think there's been a single major city over the course of two weeks that has not seen serious damage.
And I want to ask you this because you're more wonkish than I am.
There are two minds about this.
Do you think these riots affect, how do you think they affect the president's chances?
Good, bad for re-election?
I think he's got to show that he can step up and stop them.
You know, I like that President Trump is, I think he's taking the right tone.
Most of the tweets have been really on message.
But I think what a lot of people are looking at is they're saying, okay, you're right about the tweets, you're all right about holding hearings and tweets and things, but you've got to actually do something.
And this brings up the real problem that conservatives have.
Which is, conservatives don't control any of the institutions.
You know, there's this crazy thing where the left always talks about institutional racism, as though it's our fault, conservatives' fault.
Then I think, the left controls every major institution in the country.
The media, Hollywood, big tech, the academy, on and on, the administrative government, everything.
So if there is institutional racism, whose fault is that?
Right.
Not to mention the unions.
I mean, this is one thing, too.
It's remarkable the turn – because I've talked about this with John.
You know, John Oliver is doing his video.
Listen, I have consistently been anti-union in the 21st century.
I understand that at one point in the Industrial Revolution, there was some guy like, ah, fricking work.
OK, I get it.
A little bit different now, since no one found Hoffa's body, times have changed.
It is entirely consistent for me, and I do believe this, to say, hey, let's dissolve the police unions, let's change the structure there so that we can actually have some accountability, just like, the same way I feel for teachers unions.
We should reward good cops, and we should expel and punish bad cops.
But it is entirely inconsistent for the left to, in this instance, say they have a problem with police unions, because they are the ones who protect these unions, who, by the way, are the biggest political donors in the country, bar none.
It's not even close.
Right, and it's multiple public sector unions, right?
The police are a public sector union, the teachers are a public sector union, and the left does very well with these guys.
You know, they think that when they get rid of the cops, things are going to become more peaceful.
Obviously that is not the case, but there was one incident in Virginia that to me is the symbol of the whole thing, which is no cops to be seen, there were no cops around, And these rioters, like they were in Baghdad in 2003, pull down a statue, right?
They tie around the neck, pull down the statue, and the statue, as it comes tumbling down, squishes one of the rioters.
And overall, just like everything about this scene is sad, but I think this tells you the whole story, which is that when you pull down your history, you pull down your traditions and institutions, you think it's going to free you.
Actually, you're going to get squished.
In 2003, it was not a good vintage for Baghdad, by the way.
More of an O2, man.
No, I think it's a valid point.
This is something I was just thinking about today.
Maybe you have a strong opinion on this.
I haven't heard anyone else talk about it.
They want to get rid of police unions.
What's going to happen with card check?
For people who don't know, the left, they don't, because many people in unions don't want to be in unions.
So the left wants to make sure that the union basically card check means everyone knows how you voted.
No private vote.
And they say that's to protect the worker from the intimidating corporate overlord.
But really it's the intimidating union.
You can't fine someone corrupt in the Teamsters.
What do you think will happen here if they want to get rid of police unions?
Because then there has to be some kind of a vote or bureaucratic process with card check.
They really have their balls in a twister.
They do.
There is this great thing we can count on, which is the left's incompetence.
That's the one saving grace that we've got here.
We could end up in a world where after all of this insanity, it actually all backfires on the left and we do really well, but we've got to play it smart here.
One thing that I think maybe some Republicans are messing up right now is you've got this moment where cities are literally on fire Unions are very unpopular, cops themselves actually pretty popular, and for some reason, I don't know why, conservatives are attacking Joe Biden for being tough on crime.
They are like trying to grab defeat from the jaws of victory.
This is the one time saying, no, Trump is tough on crime, Joe Biden is not even alive anymore, practically, and he'll go weak on crime.
And yet, for some reason, we're making the totally wrong argument.
No, I think you're right.
I think there's some validity in saying, hey, Joe Biden, if you really believe this, why did you not do anything for the first 50 years of your life, but you actually did the opposite and then move on your merry way?
But yeah, there is a little bit.
It does bother me sometimes where you see, and you don't see this so much from Trump necessarily or his administration, but from some of his supporters, Where they focus more on the gotcha than... You can hit a gotcha, right?
That's a jab, then move on with something else.
You know, do some footwork here, and let people know where you're coming from.
And instead, they keep focusing on the gotcha.
Yeah, but... Was it 72% we just talked about of Americans who want to send in the National Guard?
Focus on that!
Do that.
That's the thing to do, you know.
And you make a great point here on Biden, which is Biden's whole campaign is, yes, we're so close to making change and progress.
And you say, well, you were the vice president for eight years.
You were a senator for 830 years.
I mean, you've been truly over half a century in politics.
You didn't do it then, you can't do it now.
If Trump makes this argument and says, look, I've been in politics for three years now, four years.
I've accomplished more in that time and more good stuff in that time than any of my predecessors.
Re-elect me at this moment of chaos and uncertainty and we'll get some more good stuff.
That's a winning message.
The guy could win, you know, 50 states almost.
I think you're right.
And what really disturbs me most about Joe Biden is I imagine he was breastfed very late.
He just gives me that vibe, you know, of a guy who just, like, you know, he had some baby bottle tooth decay because he couldn't get rid of bitty, like, even when he was six.
So I don't know why, and you would think that would help with the neurogenesis, you know, and the B vitamins and all that stuff, but apparently it just makes you a demented old retard.
They talk about childhood trauma here, and they'll say, when Joe Biden can't finish a sentence, or when he rambles on, they'll say, no, it's not because he's slipping, it's because of his childhood stutter.
You say, okay, I don't know whether or not he had a childhood stutter, but I do know the guy has been in politics since the 70s, and for some reason we're only hearing this stutter, or whatever it is now, I think it has more to do with the decline than the childhood.
Hey, Joe Biden falls down a well, gets a stutter.
Kicked by a mule, it goes back.
I don't know.
It is remarkable to me, yeah, that Joe Biden has been in politics for so many, I mean, I don't think this guy has ever signed the front of a check.
So when people talk about how tone-deaf Americans are with the black community's grievances, and that may be true of a lot of white Americans, I'm willing to agree that we can discuss that.
But could there be anyone more tone-deaf, for example, to business owners or people who are protesting the ability to go back and make a living than someone who has suckled at the government teat since, is it 28 years old or 26 with Joe Biden?
Right.
I mean, Joe Biden, I think he was 1972 or somewhere around there when he gets elected for the first time, and he never stops.
You know, that's his whole career.
And I think you make a good point, too, on separating legitimate grievances from imaginary grievances.
Right.
Because obviously, look, there is a race problem in America that's kind of baked in.
They were complaining about this evil institution of slavery in the Declaration of Independence.
It's not as though we're the first people to realize this is a problem, right?
Our founding fathers realized it, too.
And so how are we responding?
Well, one way is HBO Max is canceling Gone with the Wind.
Gone with the Wind, an actual important moment in race relations where a black actress wins
an Academy Award.
How are we reacting to it now?
You've got people pulling down statues of Christopher Columbus.
Last I checked, Christopher Columbus wasn't the pinnacle of racial problems in America, right?
Last I checked, he landed in the Caribbean.
Any crimes you want to even accuse him of would be against Native Americans, not against black Americans.
But I think the reason they go after it is that this is not about George Floyd, this is not about Black Lives Mattering, no matter what that radical organization says.
This is about an attack on Western civilization.
Columbus is the symbol of Western civilization, and we have to wake up to that threat before we lose our whole culture.
I think that's a very good point, and Columbus, one hell of a scalper.
Let's go to the WebExtended at livewithcreditor.com.
Of course, it is the Michael Knowles Show at Daily Wire and available wherever you can get audio podcasts.
It is fantastic.
He's a very, very well-read gentleman.
Let's go!
Go! Web Extended! If you're not a member, you don't get to listen!
Now the only way out... is to...
...
What a complete disaster.
Excuse me, did you just blow in from dressed like a spazville?
our other channel, Crowdervents.
Now you're ready to fight the man in style.
Louder With Crowder merch makes these two slobs look better.
Get your louder with Crowder gear at louder with Crowder shop.com and cover your disgusting body.
That was Michael Knowles of the Michael Knowles show.
We went to WebEx and we talked a lot about cigars, which, by the way, he did have to pre-tape that interview, which means I had to wear this outfit twice.
And we talked about my favorite cigar, and people were like, look, I took the band off.
I broke cigar etiquette, because you'll never know.
He's just rubbing it in now.
Oh, the cigar!
I'll have to get the recipe from Liz.
Name that movie line.
So I will see you next week.
Monday morning, of course, we'll be doing Good Morning Mug Club.
I want to talk about a few things this next week.
I want to talk about the protests, how they relate to the, I guess you would say, the birth and the evolution of Dirty Harry and Death Wish, and particularly the 68 Olympics with the Black Fist, Black Power.
There's a forgotten portion of that story.
I've logged into Amazon now and you see Black Pride everywhere.
Yeah, it's on every website.
Selma, Only Peace, Roots, and then that 68 is what I think it's called.
There's a documentary on the 68 Olympics, the two guys at the podium, what was his name, Schultz?
I forgot.
Holding Up Their Fist.
And then there was another documentary about it on HBO.
And none of them really.
Maybe they glossed over it.
I didn't watch both of them in their entire day.
I did watch one.
But we'll talk about that next week.
That's mornings, of course.
We put a half hour on YouTube and an hour on Mug Club.
So, you know, you get an extra whole hour.
You get a half hour here on YouTube.
And it's the only way we can continue to make a living, especially when you look at the rules with YouTube and the grievances, some of which have been sent to us.
That are considered offensive.
Just so you know, on YouTube you are no longer allowed to express that you shouldn't put a child on puberty blockers at six years old.
And you cannot express the point of view that we shouldn't view immigration through the prism of race, but through the prism of shared values and ideas.
That's a problem with the folks at Big Tech.
We have some developments coming there.
Bill's not in the room anymore.
Someone say something so I can puff this before I go to my... I don't know what you're talking about.
Say something.
Something.
You're so good.
So good.
That's a chocolatey one, right?
Snickerdoodle one.
Yeah, it tasted a little bit like a Snickerdoodle.
The other one I had that tasted like Cocoa Pebbles turned out it was because I was sitting in the shop for five years.
So I bought a box that tasted nothing like it.
And I was very disappointed.
So it's like a curing factor there?
That one tasted like Count Chocula.
Yeah, yeah, it is.
By the way, Chale Sun and I ordered some cereal with your promo code, so you owe me, buddy.
I wanted to talk about something here today because a lot of people have been asking.
My wife is still in the hospital so I think we talked about it Monday.
She had a procedure and then she came out of it and they thought it was GBS and then they didn't think it was GBS and then it turns out that it is and she's been getting treatment with an IV at the hospital and she'll be there you know she was supposed to be out she was supposed to be out Saturday then Sunday and then Wednesday and now Friday hopefully so sweetheart I'm looking forward to having you home.
It's been It's been a little difficult, but especially right now, it's the craziest time in our country.
So anyway, that's completely irrelevant.
I just felt like I owed you an update, and I don't owe you... What do you want from me?! !
So anyway, I was just listening to... I hate to say this because, yeah, I watch CNN and I watch MSNBC and I read all these... Oh, I thought you were going to say 6ix9ine.
Takashi 6ix9ine?
Don't get me started.
You have the pink hair.
I do have the pink hair.
I'm close.
I'm almost there.
You just have to say the N-word repeatedly and for some reason you get a free pass.
Yeah, I need to say the N-word and I need all the tattoos on my face.
But I do watch sometimes the Young Turks.
I don't watch or listen to any conservative sources because I want to be informed as to what the other side is saying.
And Anna Kasparian, This is the thing, when people say you're using an extreme example to make a point, I try to avoid doing the, well, Republicans say this because they hate blacks, you know, or Donald Trump is denying that his tweets are racist and they're racist.
Well, show the tweet.
Well, show what Republicans are saying.
That's what we try to show them when we do these clips.
And this is going to get to a close where hopefully it'll help all of us because I do think the country needs healing.
I don't think that it needs healing from systemic oppression and racism, but I do think it needs some healing.
I thought we were going to have more healing than we do right now with a black president.
I thought that would be the silver lining that white people overwhelmingly elected Barack Obama president.
Even though he was a guy who made sure that our money went to funding abortion overseas, even though he made us less safe, even though he made sure we had fewer dollars in our pockets and fewer choices in the free market economy, I thought, well, the one silver lining is at least people will understand that the ceiling has been totally lifted.
Most powerful office in not only the land, but the globe.
Black guy.
I think we all thought that, right?
Yeah.
When we were going into that election, and when he got elected, it seemed like everybody was, we're gonna bring it together, everybody's gonna be brothers and stuff, and change, right?
That was his slogan.
It was all change.
It ended up being change, but in the negative light.
It ended up being change.
Pocket change!
That's all I got left.
But then I saw Anna Kasparian saying, not nice, don't say that audio, Wade.
It was terrible.
And it's exacerbated by this gay K-pop jacket.
You need to try and be comfortable with this and be vulnerable with these clothes.
So, Ana Kasparian at The Young Turks said that officers are hunting down and killing black people just because they're black.
That's what she said.
She said, that's what they're doing.
And they agreed at that.
Agreed on that.
And that's echoed typically, but at places like CNN and MSNBC, they, they allude to it.
This was actually said in The Young Turks.
And then later, she said something to the effect of, um, I think I wrote it down.
Yeah.
Well, for people to say that officers, she was saying, well, for people to say that officers shoot more white people than black people, so everything's fine.
You can say that, but that's a stupid argument.
Hold on a second.
Hold on a second.
This is important.
And this is why we don't just make arguments for people.
We let them make their own arguments.
No one is making that argument.
No one is saying officers shoot more whites than blacks, which is true, therefore everything is fine.
No.
First part, true.
Especially when you take into account the percentages of crime committed when you look at statistics and you divide them based on race, which is what you folks do.
And so we have to respond to misleading statistics.
So no one is making the claim that, well, more whites are shot than blacks.
True.
Therefore, everything is fine.
What people are saying in response to this argument that people like the Young Turks and people like Jake Tapper and people like Anderson Cooper make, Their argument, which is that officers are hunting down and killing black people just because they're black.
What we're saying is that's inaccurate because officers actually shoot more white people.
We're not saying, therefore it's fine.
We're saying, no, no, no, no, no.
You were saying that officers are going out and lynching people.
In a way that is legalized modern day.
And we're saying that's inaccurate.
Here's a stat that shows that's inaccurate.
No one is saying everything is fine.
We are responding to an argument that holds no water.
And the reason it matters is that if we're going to have a conversation Because people have said, what are you going to talk about?
When are you going to have this conversation about race?
If we're going to have a conversation that is needed, and it is needed about police reform, how do we improve the situation?
What do we do?
How do we go about that?
The conversation cannot be predicated on the lie that, well, we need police reform, and we're going to start with the jumping off point that police are hunting down black people and killing them because of the color of their skin.
That is not what is happening.
That's the point of that argument.
And that, again, if you're a little bit inaccurate, let's say when you shoot a target at 6 feet, you're really inaccurate the further you get from there.
If you're at 60 feet, and if we're starting with an inaccuracy, then it's a modern-day lynching and it's condoned by the government, the conversation is never going to be fruitful.
On to the bigger point, though, here.
I'm so concerned, and I mean this... I'm not concerned.
This is just delicious.
It's going to be fantastic for an hour and a half.
I am so concerned.
That we are going to see more racists than ever because of these protests.
And not only because of these riots, and not only because of the media, but because specifically of how big tech has reacted by supporting the movement and silencing voices of dissent.
That is, to me, is terrifying.
Why?
Well, okay, you can look at these riots, and you can look at the looting, and you can look at the murder of over 20 people right now, I don't know what it was, it was 20 on Tuesday, including officers David Dorn, Patrick Underwood, who were black, you can look at 400 serious, critical injuries, many of them, to other officers, billions of dollars likely we'll find out in property damage, and what do you hear?
Black lives matter!
That's the backdrop to everything.
So you look at all of this, And young people are looking at this and they say, ooh, that's a problem.
And then they have to come to the conclusion that A, it's entirely attributable to race because you keep yelling out Black Lives Matter, or B, and this is what I want young people to see and understand, this is a problem that stems from people who don't share the same ideas and values.
It's a problem of ideas, of morals, of principle.
They've got to pick A or B, though.
Is this a problem of race, which is the same argument that's made, ironically, from both Black Lives Matter and white supremacists, or is it a problem of unshared values, and I choose the latter?
And that's why I've gotten a lot of flack from actual white supremacists, because I don't capitulate to what they want there.
I don't believe that it's a problem that has to do with race.
Here's the problem, though.
If you do choose the former, whether you're a white supremacist or Black Lives Matter, if you say, well, this is a problem because I keep hearing Black Lives Matter, it's a problem due to race, there is no way to not line up on one side or the other at the end of this, which will be some kind of a race war.
Huge.
And I mean a race war the kind of which we've never seen before.
So when you have places like YouTube and Google and Twitter and Facebook that say it's a problem,
you know, listen, it's no secret we went through the Vox Apocalypse.
I think a lot of people don't know what the grievances necessarily were because we didn't
violate guidelines.
One of the problems was, did you know this?
Something I said at the Oscar stream where I pointed to the—I don't remember, it might
have been Patricia Arquette, I have no idea.
I said, see, that's a rich, white, elitist, Hollywood liberal spouting the same kind of
socialist message as a Honduran who has no business being here, they're here illegally,
then they vote in socialized healthcare, they vote in for a system that broke their country.
It's because of people.
They can be rich, white, Hollywood elite liberals or illegal immigrants who do not share the values of this country that are determined by the Constitution.
And that can destroy any country from within.
Think about that.
If you have no way of documenting who's coming into a country, in or out, regardless of race, we can say this with Swedes if there was a problem.
If they wanted to bring in Swedish policy, I would be absolutely pissed.
They just don't happen to physically be south of the border.
The problem is with unshared values.
If I were to say that can spread and people come in and you can't keep track of it, and then they subvert the American way of life, liberty, life, pursuit of happiness.
And I come from Canada where that's not the case.
I come from Canada where I easily could be jailed for some of the things that I've said on this show.
It's like I'm describing a virus, something that grows, something that rots.
And the same thing can be said about right now.
Rioting.
Looting.
Violence.
Kneel.
Check your privilege.
And people go, what is this?
Black lives matter!
Black lives matter!
And you go, well, hold on a second.
I want to listen to you.
A Drew Brees or a Terry Crews.
Well, you know what?
Let's see what we can have together.
Let's see if we can have a conversation together.
No!
No!
How dare you?
Check your privilege!
Well, I'm trying to... Okay, I'll just be silent.
Be an ally!
And when you say that those points of view, the view, the basic bitch conservative view that I've just expressed, that it should be about ideas, and we need to be very clear about the ideas here in the United States and the values, and what ideas are not welcome, when you say that that is not permissible on the big three, Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, what do you think happens to all the people out there who agree with that?
An anti-racist message.
You ban them from the public square?
Where do they go?
They go into the alleyways.
They run into the arms of people saying black lives matter in the streets, and they're burning down streets.
Someone in Minneapolis, let me give you an analogy, $25 million in property damage that we knew of last Thursday in Minneapolis alone, right?
Violence, people killed, officers hurt.
Someone's trying to get home because maybe they're a frontline hero, a nurse, right?
These people who you used to love.
And they work downtown, they're trying to get home.
They can't go through the street because it's blocked, just like they're blocking fire trucks from protecting businesses and children in houses.
You go, oh my God, I can't go here.
Black Lives Matter!
Black Lives— With torches and pitchforks coming down violence, they're claiming that's representative of black Americans.
I'll get to why that's not the case.
Unfortunately, the media wants to echo it right now and amplify it.
And someone goes, oh, oh, I can't, I can't go back.
It's blocked.
The angry mob of Black Lives Matter.
And what happens?
They go into an alleyway with someone in a swastika tattoo.
They say, hey, we'll keep you safe.
That's what happens when you don't allow reason or dissenting opinions that you should want out there, specifically anti-racist opinions, because you view them as controversial.
And let me tell you something else.
The antidote to this is understanding your own human interactions.
Let me explain this to you.
My wife is in the hospital.
That's why I brought it up.
She's been in the hospital.
She's had some great doctors, some not so great doctors.
Most of the nurses have been fantastic.
And when I say not so great doctors, they may be great medical practitioners, but not a great bedside manner.
They can make you, if you don't know what GBS is, they can make you really scared in describing the worst case scenario and not being empathetic.
But there is a lady who I want to thank, who's been my wife's most recent nurse for a couple of days, and she is a ray of sunshine, and everyone in my family, and every visitor, by the way, Who of course does not support the riots or Black Lives Matter.
Can't say enough good things about the woman.
You're not going to see it because I just recorded so you just see my shoe because I want you to hear the kind of interactions that we have.
Brightened my day.
I hope it brightens yours.
Sometimes it was like an 84.
We really would like for it to be a... Yes!
Kick your leg across my head.
I don't know why you got your leg across my head here.
You don't want to kick your leg across when you're around this man.
When you get home, you're not going to cross your legs.
That's what you ask for so you can put your knees together.
Yeah.
You know, when you get home, you're not going to cross your knees.
Oh my God!
I'm so glad.
I've been down like you, baby.
Thank you, Mama.
I'll see y'all later.
Bye.
Bye.
And her name, by the way, I can't call her.
It's Mama.
I said, what should I call, do you want me to call you Mama?
She goes, don't you call me by anything else!
You call me by something, we gonna have some problems!
Ah, I'm just kidding!
Your wife is my best patient.
She's my best, I tell everybody, she's my best patient.
Sometimes, you want your wife to take a nap?
She's doing laps all the time, trying to get around on her walker.
That's cool, but I want her to take a nap, because she exhausting.
I'm kidding, she's my best patient.
I love your wife.
We need more of that.
Every single person who interacted with it, by the way, hint, lady of color.
This was a joy to be around this person.
A joy to the entire room.
Why?
Because she was black?
No!
Okay, let's be honest.
We're not colorblind.
The cadence, the expressions, calling her mama, not typical of white folks.
There is something funny there, just like my mother's French-Canadian accent is endearing to most.
So you don't have to be colorblind, and you don't have to view people exclusively as the sum of their race.
But she was a breath of fresh air.
Why?
Not because she was black.
And she didn't love my wife as a patient because she was white.
She was a breath of fresh air, and she is.
I'm going to probably see her after this.
Because she's compassionate.
She's attentive.
She listened.
And you know what?
Those are actions.
And actions are a manifestation of character.
And character is shaped by values.
If people are upset about the state of America, if people feel like it's more fractured than ever, if we No, we do.
We need to seek some way to find common ground.
Not on evil.
You don't find common ground with evil, but I don't believe that all political opponents are evil.
But if we are at a place where we want to find common ground to achieve unity, it will never be possible to unify on the color of one's skin.
It can't be done.
The only way to unify is through values and ideas.
And the greatest of those—sorry, I know I'll offend the hip-edgy atheists in the YouTube comments section—the greatest of those is love.
Now, the other side of that coin is justice.
It's not black or white.
It's not yellow or black.
It's not red or black.
Sorry, First Nations are black.
It's about love and justice and keeping those in mind in your personal interactions and the solutions that we keep in our minds and hearts as we move forward.
If you think of it as white and black.
Black Lives Matter!
Black Lives Matter!
White Pride!
White Pride!
Two sides of the same coin.
We can never unify.
We can never heal.
Don't buy into it.
Don't feel guilty for not buying into it.
Because buying into it is wrong and evil.
See you next week, Monday morning, 10 a.m.
