Time Text
Outro music.
I should do.
It's pounded in my brain often enough.
Asleep and awake.
In the drowsy fantasy moment of every lonely dawn.
Oh, come on.
What's your answer?
You've taken my breath away.
What's your answer?
If I tell my mom and she tells your mom Would you shut up
If I tell my mom and she tells your mom Make me a fuckboy
It's subject for today It's Topo Chico, which is very refreshing.
And they're kind of sponsored.
It gets a little bubbly.
But there's a part of me that doesn't trust anything that comes from Mexico.
Hey, you said it, I didn't say it.
Not people!
But I agree with it.
Commodity... He said things, not people.
Boy, you just boomed in my ears.
Is that your fault?
Do we need to do a sound check really quick?
Hey, everyone who's subscribed, if you're listening and Half-Asian Bill just blew your ears out, we're sorry, but he's a lawyer, so there's no way you're gonna catch him on that.
Speaking of which, my half-Asian lawyer Bill Richman is here.
Gerald A. is here.
Court of Black audio Wade is here.
Please do subscribe on the iTunes, whatever it is, the Apple podcast.
Spotify, there's Crowder Bits.
And do consider joining Mug Club because we do like a full hour after this.
Every day that we do Good Morning Mug Club, a full hour of additional show.
But first let me ask you a question.
How long do you think Chaz, sorry, Chop, It's a little confusing at this point.
It's confusing because they're walking human vaginas.
In the sense that they're just like Chaz and people are like, oh, autonomous zone?
That means we have the right to send the military.
Occupational protest!
Occupied protest!
What are you talking about?
You can't get me, I'm on base.
It was like those when Cubans would come and they had the touchdown rule and I used to watch real TV
Yeah, there's a Cuban who came over, you know like I think like on a lounge chair floated over and then
uh The cop and he thinks like he can deke him out like he
stiff arms him and touches it and he's like And they just tackle him
Like I thought I defect like we don't care. Wow It's really like running to them. They're like i'm behind
the barrier and the cops are just like tank right over there
Look, this isn't tiananmen square bill Come on.
That was the reference.
Yeah, that was the reference.
He can make it, but now you're racing.
I've all of a sudden stepped in it.
Correction, not just now.
By the way, where do you think this ends with the statues being torn down?
We'll talk about that quite a bit.
Where do you line up on the Confederate statues that were being taken down?
Do you think that people who didn't defend those statues sort of paved the way for George Washington and Jefferson coming down now, which was predicted but mocked?
Let us know.
And of course, live chat is available exclusively at Blaze.
We'll be reading some of your chat later.
But first, we actually have another update, a preview for tonight's newest installment, Reformatted Cops.
Tonight on No Cops!
Stay tuned for more No Cops!
It seems we need to change the theme song.
They don't come for you!
Either way, I'm excited.
I'm excited about the update.
No, no, no.
The they just means someone else.
It means the criminals.
What you want?
What you want when your social worker don't come for you?
Yeah, this is a bad song now.
Yeah.
I think it was a bad song.
Yeah, I'm the one who ruined it.
By the way, we'll also, a little bit later, we'll be showing this for people who are Mug Club members, how to defend yourself against a Macy's attack, because this happened.
People trying to get deals.
That's the n-word we have to bleep.
Quit touching me!
You don't hurt!
In the clearance section too.
People trying to get deals.
And that was a Macy's rack!
Yeah, it's too bad.
Man, that's too impossible.
This was justified and you had Black Lives Matter activists and what's his name, Tariqa Nasheed
Tariq Nasheed, that guy, and this race warrior he was out there.
They claimed that the man used the N-word, and that justified the attack, which of course it wouldn't, and he never said it.
It turned out he's a store employee, and they looked for all his security footage.
It was completely unprovoked.
We'll talk more about that so that you don't have to get your ass kicked, and the defense shouldn't just be naughty word.
What else do we have?
Do we want to talk about Chaz?
I don't know that anybody does, but yes.
Yes, I really do.
Are they going to change the name again next week?
Do we start making the statues now or do we wait?
I don't know if it's going to last that much past next week.
They had a second shooting last night.
So now it's been two.
Two in a row.
Two shootings.
Though they haven't confirmed the second shooting.
But let's just mainly focus on the first shooting.
How many bodies do you think are buried there in jazz?
Seven to eleven.
Maybe twelve.
I'm inclined to agree.
I mean, there's nothing that you could do.
They could just literally put that in the middle of jazz.
They could pull a Walter White and just do it with a bucket of acid.
Just put it in a recycling bin.
No, but they'd put down cardboard and try to bury the body on top of it.
They'd put a tent over it and be like, here's where you bring the person you killed.
They obviously died of natural causes.
Sir, this one has a knife in his back.
Well, natural causes, though.
No, no, COVID.
It's just all COVID.
So there was a shooting though Saturday at 2 30 a.m.
and this is this is important because we'll touch on this a little bit more and we have a lot of info on Chaz coming up.
Foreshadow!
Color me, Steinbeck!
Literary niche genre of humor.
And of course, the cops and the ambulance, by the way, the medics, because they called in the medics when two people were shot.
One was killed and one was critically injured.
They called in the medics and then accused the medics of being racist because the medics couldn't get through.
I think we have a video from Raz Simone tweeted this out.
That's not That's So Raz.
That's So Raz!
Coming up on Nickelodeon.
It was all a ploy for That's So Raz.
Here's the tweet from Razz Simone.
Razzmatazz, roll!
That's what we're doing?
You guys could be saving this man's life right now.
But instead of doing that, you're gonna wait here.
You guys are that afraid?
There's no way.
There's no way.
This is in your hearts!
If he dies this time, you guys, you could have saved his life!
You could have!
You guys could have.
This is bullshit.
And you know it, sir.
What if that was your son up there right now?
Would you want this to happen to your son?
Oh man, this is amazing.
This is what's happening in America right now.
They're waiting to save this man's life.
They're waiting to save this man's life.
He's dying bleeding.
If this was your son, you would bust through that crowd right now.
But you're not.
Because it's a black life.
Ah, because it's a black life.
Before we move on, because you just mentioned, what's the name of the bar rescue guy?
It's not John Tesh, I know, but what is it?
Does someone know that name confined at Bar Rescue?
You're ruining your bar!
Come in here, filth!
You don't even have a draft!
That's where you make all the profits!
What's his name, John what?
I work with the Grateful Dead.
John what?
John Taffer.
I'm John Taffer.
Bar Rescue.
This bar is going down unless I come in and do my magic.
I want to see him do jazz.
I want to see him rescue jazz.
You're pooping all over the place.
You're scaring the customers.
No one wants to eat in your literal filth.
That's your feces next to the bar draft.
Who wants to go with a gay bar covered in poop?
What next on Bar Rescue?
Now you're going to try and rape me?
No!
No!
I don't know if that sounds enough.
What's his name?
John Taffer?
I love that guy.
What's his name, John Taffer? Taffer? I love that guy. It's close. Okay. It's close? Yeah. No! It's spot on!
Bye!
Do you need more cowbell as well?
I've been doing this for 15 years!
I still can't get my iPad to work!
I guess I'll go to the papers.
So well-meaning.
So here's the thing they were saying, because it's a black life.
First off, the ambulance, the medics couldn't know that it's a black life.
But there's also a reason, by the way, that you don't block cops from getting in, because the cops have to clear the way, legally of course, for the medics, the ambulance.
And this is what was going on at the barricades at Chaz.
Hey chief, hey chief, or whoever's on down there, the victim is left!
The police have entered the zone.
The police have entered the zone.
The weapons are out.
You got people here.
They formed a human chain to try to stop traffic.
They formed a human wall.
traffic. Individuals over here, through this, they've formed a human wall. The purpose of this human wall that we
see right here is to build a barrier in between the, in the, in the wall.
That's what the word wall means.
Well, here's the thing.
If you want the medic to get through, your human wall is a human speed bump.
So take your pick.
It's like, we built a human wall?
No!
You gotta save the bar!
Honestly, people don't understand.
It happened, I believe, in Minneapolis.
We talked about it.
There was a woman and a child in a building on fire, and they could see the fire department a few blocks away.
The cops were clearing away for the fire department, and then the cop cars were completely blocked.
So this is one of those things where you can say people are violent extremists, but let me ask you this as a genuine question.
This is where we could see some kind of a fight back and some kind of a civil war from people who aren't militiamen.
If you're a father and you know, and this actually happened, that your wife, the mother of your children, your child are in a house that is burning down and you can see the fire department and you can't get them out of the house and you see people blocking the cops so the fire department can't get through.
Is that man a mad, is he a lone mad gunman if he starts taking people out to try and save his wife and child?
I'm not saying that I advocate that, but I'm saying you are pushing people to extremes at this point where they will take extreme measures.
This does not end well, and that is the rule.
Medics, paramedics, ambulances, particularly in areas where there's violence, it has to be cleared by the police.
Otherwise, you have any idea how easy it would be to be like, oh, I've been shot!
And then they come in like, morphine!
Thanks, bitch!
I got fentanyl to last me two months!
Exactly, and by the way, every time that vehicles with flashing lights approach these peaceful protests, they tend not to do well.
They tend to get set on fire, they tend to get turned over, their windows get busted out.
We've seen video of this from everywhere.
Why would you want these guys to put their lives at risk when every time they do, you hate them and you try to do stuff to them?
Maybe kill them, hurt them, destroy their property, whatever.
Right, that's why I advocate that we should put a charged electric current on all vehicles with flashing lights so it's like a human fly sound.
It's a great idea.
Please do go through.
Please kindly enter the zone.
It shouldn't have to get that far!
You know what the guy said at the very end?
He goes, if it was your kid in there, you would bust through that barrier.
Basically, he just said, take your vehicle and run over those people that are blocking the road, that we thought was a good idea!
Well, when you look at AOC, people say, it's never okay for police, it's never okay for police to run over protesters.
In the case of that one area in New York, they actually, I thought it was brilliant, they used the, what do you call those, like metal barriers, that are, like a metal barrier, the protesters were in front, so he got specifically behind the metal barrier and went, vroom!
And the metal barrier went flying, so they all went perfectly perpendicular to the ground, backward, like they had been hadoukened, and went back, and the cop went through.
Like, there's never an excuse for this.
What if the medics are trying to come in behind them to save lives?
What if that person, by the way, we don't know, what if the medics had gotten to him sooner, and he didn't have to die?
That's you, blocking the cops.
And I explain for people who don't know, there's clear precedent there, that's what they have to The issue becomes, for example, if you were to say, well, oh, I'm blocked on the highway and I'm not going to move out of the way of emergency vehicles.
Everyone is taught from a young age you need to clear the way for emergency vehicles.
And it really does.
It pushes people to the edge to say, especially when you can see that, right, okay, the fire truck's not there, it's too far away, the ambulance isn't even there yet, whatever, they're dealing with protesters in other parts of the city, okay.
But to be able to see it And then, even if you just had the dad run down there and start pushing people out of the way in the example that you gave, in any of those examples, you're asking for a time in which you're having to pit one life against the other, and all they're doing is protecting their, you know, little garden.
That's it.
And you know what?
I think people really misconstrue when I say, you forfeit your right to live.
There's a difference between that and you deserve to die.
In other words, you punch someone in the face on a sidewalk where they can bounce their head off the concrete, you hold a knife to someone where it's their life or yours, you put them in a situation where there's a reasonable assumption that they could be killed, you forfeit your right to live in that that person is justified in taking measures to protect their own life, and you could be the victim of an accident.
You could just as easily kill him, not bounce his head off the concrete, and he could just as easily bounce your head off the concrete.
You could just as easily reach in and shoot that medic, which happens, or they could just as easily accidentally run you over.
What's with the chatter, boys?
Is it not going out?
Is it all black?
No, we're all good.
We're just putting CNN on the TV.
No, please!
I said I was sorry!
They have breakfast burritos over there.
By the way, I thought we only got a certain number.
No!
We're gonna pare down the menu!
What are you doing with burritos at an Irish pub?!
This is not the Northern... You're not the IRA!
I didn't know they were known for their burritos, but hey, we'll go with it.
By the way, I thought Chaz was free.
No, actually, this is an IRA bar.
That's what we do.
Well, where are the bombs?
Just eat the burrito.
You'll find the bombs.
I was going to say, I thought they were independent.
I thought they wanted to have their freedom and their independence and that they were able to set up.
They said they had medics.
In the story, when you read it, they're like, oh, our medics were on scene and doing a fantastic job.
Other than not knowing what the hell they were doing and being high out of their minds at the time, they were doing great.
Well, they had some heal professionals.
Oh.
Just put weed in there, it heals everything!
Does someone have an ace bandage?
Uh, we can like string together a bunch of rolling papers.
Roll the next one, lick it, next one.
I've never seen such sloppy medical work!
20 minutes later and the guy's still there licking it.
Do you still need it?
My tongue's dry!
What do you expect?
Um, alright.
Let's move on to CNN.
Let's see what CNN is going on because there's Walking Basset Hound there who looks really... ...into a damaging future if Trump were re-elected.
You've served in the military, intelligence government for 50 years.
How are you... I don't even care.
They're talking about Bolton.
Please, somebody send Bolton over to fight a war.
Let's just see how he does.
There we go.
By the way, we need the Walkin' Buys a Bar.
That's the show that you're doing right now.
What?
Christopher Walkin' Buys a Bar.
Who's walkin'?
That voice has a little bit of walkin' in it.
No, it doesn't!
It does!
There's a couple of things.
Is he on drugs?
No!
Did he come back from Chaz?
No.
I put some drugs in his burrito.
You can't just say things that are totally unrelated.
I'm not an international reporter, Steven.
Yeah, that's true.
Could have fooled me.
They will be stunned to find out you are not amongst them.
I'm removing your name from the Pulitzer running.
So there have been some statues torn down, removed across the United States.
Now obviously this started with a lot of Confederate statues, monuments, and I will say this,
back then I was like, listen, conservatives who are choosing that as the hill to die on
in the sense that this is absolutely something we want to identify with.
The Confederates were people who tried to basically undercut the United States.
Let's be clear, they lost.
They didn't want the America that you have.
But I don't think that you should be taking down all of these statues and monuments.
I think if a municipality wants to vote and say, hey, we want to change that statue through the legal process, who am I to stop that district from doing that?
But there needs to be a vote, and it needs to come from the public.
And I think you probably get half and half depending where you are.
You cannot erase all history because it's somewhat offensive.
And I understand many people say, well, the Confederacy fought for slavery.
And I do.
I understand it's slavery bad.
I want to be really clear.
But we often ask, and so did Donald Trump, well, where does it end?
If anyone is being judged by today's standards and they're imperfect, you could end up taking
down – they want to take down Lincoln.
You could go Washington.
Of course, that was roundly mocked as the logical fallacy, a slippery slope argument, by many in the media, including John Oliver.
The President's concern seems to be that tearing down statues leads to a slippery slope.
This week it's Robert E. Lee.
I notice that Stonewall Jackson's coming down.
I wonder, is it George Washington next week and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after?
You know, you really do have to ask yourself, where does it stop?
Okay, well, I'll tell you where it stops.
Somewhere.
Anytime someone asks, where does it stop?
The answer is always, f***ing somewhere!
You might let your kid have Twizzlers, but not inject black tar heroin.
You don't just go, well, after the Twizzlers, where does it stop?
Right, but here's the point.
You ever seen like, you know, like all those funny videos, like, look at my kid, which is really just like, Hey, my kid, isn't he such an idiot?
Right.
That's what's really cute.
It's like what a kid does that we find cute.
If it were an adult, you'd be like, yeah, okay.
Send him to a special school.
See if we could work this out of them.
But the thing is, this is what John Oliver does, and this is what people on the left often do, but John Oliver is the worst.
And that's when we try and create, or at least propose, constructive solutions.
Like I just mentioned, if municipalities want to do that, John Oliver never does it.
He goes, well, it stops somewhere!
And he never gives you that somewhere.
Right, exactly.
So, in other words, if you're going to stop a slippery slope argument, and by the way, just because it's a common argument doesn't mean it's a logical fallacy.
We talked about that with making, okay, if gender is now cultural, and sex is biological, but then you can be born into the wrong sex, and you include sort of, well, I'm attracted to men, therefore I'm same sex, but sex is biological, and you go, well, hold on a second, this is all going to deconstruct, and now we see that.
The Supreme Court ruled that sex is how you feel.
Not just gender, but biological sex.
So now we're at the point where gender and sex are one and the same, right?
So there's a valid argument sometimes with the slippery slope.
The counter-argument has to be, hey, this is where it stops, but you have to draw your line.
And what he's doing is just applying their logic to a different situation, right?
So if you're taking down Robert E. Lee because he was a Southerner who owned slaves, then you have to take down Jefferson because he was a Southerner who owned slaves.
So take the same logic, apply it to a different person.
That's essentially the argument.
And yeah, and they might have argued, well, he wasn't fighting for slavery.
But here's the thing, it doesn't matter because now they want to take down Abraham Lincoln.
But here I think we actually have, yeah, we have a clip of what Christopher Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, George... So here it is, John Oliver!
It's been the target of vandals for years and today it's gone.
Mayor Duggan ordering the statue of Christopher Columbus be removed from its perch at Jefferson and Randolph and put into storage.
We've got brand new video here but coming down today.
A Fox 12 viewer sent us this video of the statue of the nation's third president as it was pulled down.
While Thomas Jefferson wrote, all men are created equal, he also owned as many as 600 slaves during his lifetime and fathered slave children.
And he used to be over there.
in northeast Portland. This was near Northeast at 57th and Sandy Boulevard
about 11 last night. Police tell us that statue was also vandalized and the group
ran off once officers got to the scene. Okay so not only is that a gross
misrepresentation of Jefferson and Washington on slavery where they were
vile that I'll get to a couple quotes in a second but again let's show you that
that doesn't even act as the end point for them right?
You had people who fought for the Confederacy, people who fought for slavery.
They said, well, we're going to take this down.
That's it.
People said, I don't think that's it.
You want to remove all history.
Then we were mocked.
We said, well, is it going to be George Washington?
Is it going to be Jefferson, who, by the way, many of them procured slaves from African slave traders, if you look at a lot of the Founding Fathers, because that's where the slave trade started, and the Middle East.
We'll get to that in a second.
People said, no, no, no, because that's a different... Well, now they want to get rid of that.
But then it continues to places that people don't even make sense They're going to remove the Teddy Roosevelt statue from the Museum of Natural History!
Because reasons.
That guy wasn't a slave owner!
I don't think so.
They said it actually portrayed the people next to him, a Native American and a black person, as subservient.
Now they vandalize the statue of John Greenleaf Whittier!
A Quaker abolitionist!
So let's go through this really clearly.
Teddy Roosevelt.
History's tough.
And we'll go back to Washington.
Teddy Roosevelt, there are some speeches here that you can actually read.
But the attitude of the North toward the Negro is far from what it should be, and there is need that the North also should act in good faith upon the principle of giving to each man what is justly due him, of treating him on his worth as a man, granting him no special favors, but denying him no proper opportunity for labor and the reward of labor.
And this comes from, I believe, National Geographic.
In his argument for racial equality, Roosevelt used the rising tide raises all ships metaphor, stating that if morality and thrift among the colored men can be raised, then those same virtues among whites, already assumed at that point to be more advanced, not meaning as humans, but advanced economically, would rise to an even higher degree.
At the same time, he warned that the debasement of blacks will in the end carry with it the debasement of whites.
This was something Roosevelt spoke out against racism and talked about That's how everyone needed to be provided.
Equal opportunity, equal rights.
And you could even argue that there he uses the word Negroes, therefore it was racist.
Right, you could definitely make that point.
We need to treat the Negroes as well as...
You have to stop.
One of my problems with this is that most of the time people just don't know what the hell they're doing.
Even if it's somebody who happened to own slaves, I guarantee you most of the people there had no clue.
Somebody just pointed and said, that's a white guy who was bad, he's part of the patriarchy, probably owned slaves, whatever.
It's a bronze white man, pull it down!
Well, that's an oxymoron, a bronze white man.
Unless you're talking about Boehner.
I'm just trying to get into the lines.
Look, as a person of color, I would like us to stop.
Let's draw the line.
Call you Armstrong, because you make the stretch.
Actor, we remove all British comedians who are colonizing our country with their racism.
I believe that's a good point.
Can we evict Hannah Gatsby?
Look, my mom is from Hong Kong, alright?
She suffered through colonialism under the British, under the John Olivers of her time.
And here he is telling me, telling my family what to do.
I think somewhere is on the other side of him being removed.
That's not a bad idea.
I do hope he gets cancelled.
No, I don't.
I want him to be there.
No, we don't.
And that's what's funny about that.
Not once are we ever saying, cancel him.
Right.
But his own argument logically leads to him being cancelled.
Right.
Yeah, I was just watching The Politician, the new season, and I can't really watch it because Bette Midler is just... You know there's a gay director there who's just like, just let her go with it.
And Bette Midler is doing her hocus pocus.
It's like a John Lithgow.
He's so over the top.
But everything in there is like, you sit and you go, this is so comical from the left, the environmentalism and the LGBTQAIP.
You think that maybe it's written by someone who's a libertarian with balance, and then you realize that can't be the case.
When they actually are canceling, in this series, a man running for office because as a six-year-old he dressed as Geronimo, you think, oh this must be a joke.
But he actually gives a speech like, I should have known better and I didn't and I apologize.
I'm going, this is an industry That cancels people because they've actually gone out and said, hey, you know what?
We should all come together as one nation.
So you realize there can be no balance in this industry.
And this is what's happening right now because people believe this about Washington and Jefferson.
I want to get some quotes here from Washington and Jefferson who reviled slavery.
But here's something else.
We're talking about being consistent.
And this isn't a whataboutism.
Let me explain to you why.
Guess who else had slaves?
Notable person in history.
Who?
Personal opinion.
What's a real jackass?
Also Childright.
I'm getting it, I'm getting it.
I think I might know where you're going.
Martha Stewart.
Rachel Ray.
Rachel Maddow.
Muhammad!
Stop playing dumb!
You know he owned slaves!
Muhammad was a slave owner.
And I know you'll say, well Han's saying, yeah, but that was a different time.
Well, same with Jefferson and Washington.
But Washington freed his slaves upon his death, which was really as soon as he could.
And also his wife wore the pants, and she was kind of pro-slavery, so that kind of complicates matters.
But!
That's an awkward entertainment.
Muhammad did have slaves, and here's the question.
Okay, they both had slaves at a different point in time.
Is there slavery in the United States today?
Is there slavery in the Middle East?
Is there slavery in Saudi Arabia?
What about where Clock Boy hides his Philips alarm clock in a Samsonite?
There's indentured servitude that there is still slavery all across the Middle East and Asia and Africa, not in the United States.
So what do we do with any... Well, you can't have physical portrayals of Muhammad, but even... Tear down Islam.
Tear down Islam.
I guess Mecca?
Cancel Islam?
When you think about Mecca, when you think about what it symbolizes, this is a guy who could have had the opportunity to speak out or free his slaves, all of them upon his death.
Didn't do it like Washington.
That's a monument to the slave trade.
That still continues.
Yeah, you gotta go to the Dome of the Rock, I guess, because that's where he, you know, ascended.
Go there and tear it down!
Geez, if you really are... Oh my god, I don't think they should, I'm just saying!
We don't advocate that!
We don't advocate that!
But I would love for someone to put up a statue of Muhammad on their own private property, just to see what happens.
Kind of like the Lenin statue that's still available.
Does this button turn his mic on?
We obviously don't advocate for that, it's a stupid... What am I even here for if not to save us from terrible...
That's the only reason you're here sometimes.
I don't think Gerald is a primary threat after that statement.
That's true.
There's a quick quote, I don't know if you've got the Orwell quote, because it was just an interesting thing.
It talks about statues, it talks about history, it talks about books.
It was from the book 1984.
They'll bring it up in just a second, but it was put out there right.
So it's like every record has been destroyed or falsified.
Every book has been rewritten, every picture repainted, every statue and street building.
Unfortunately, he was a socialist.
has been altered and the process is continuing day by day, minute by minute, history has
stopped, nothing exists except the endless present in which the party is always right.
That's not the world that I want to live in.
And I understand, like you said, if there are things that you want to vote for, take
down.
Unfortunately he was a socialist, but yes.
I understand that, but his point is very valid.
I don't care where he came from.
No, no, no.
The point is he made a lot of great points, but he didn't connect all the dots.
I agree.
Well, I'm not endorsing him.
I'm endorsing that specific statement that says, hey, you can't just rewrite stuff.
If you don't like it, use it as a teaching moment and say, hey, this guy did a great thing.
George Washington did something that no person in history has ever done.
Have complete power and then give it up.
He gave it back to the people.
He also did some bad stuff, so let's talk about that too.
What used to be those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
Now it's those who do not tear down and erase all history from the books that might be slightly offensive by today's standards are cancelled.
And beaten, typically.
Confucius say, you know what I'm talking about.
So here's some quotes from Washington and Jefferson, because Washington specifically freed his slaves upon his death.
And when people say, oh, Jefferson had slaved children, we can get into that, and we'll get into that with David Barton later on.
Concerning the path Washington desired to see the states choose, he emphatically declared, this is from Washington, I can only say that there is not a man living who wishes more sincerely than I do to see a plan adopted for the abolition of slavery.
But there is only one proper and effectual mode by which it can be accomplished, Jefferson's efforts to end slavery were written about before the American Revolution.
and support will go shall never be wanting."
And then Jefferson's efforts to end slavery were written about before the American Revolution.
He wrote, in 1769, I became a member of the legislature by the choice of the county in
which I live in Virginia.
and so continued until it was closed by the revolution. I made one effort in that body for
the permission of the emancipation of slaves which was rejected and indeed during the regal crown
government nothing like this could expect success." So these are you know what it would be like it
would be like right now looking back at let's say there was some actual gross violation actually
occurring at the hands of the government and Black Lives Matter protesting it but not getting anything
And then 100 years from now, them being cancelled.
Because they're like, well, you didn't change it.
But you can see Washington and Jefferson actively tried to use their power and positions in government to change it.
And then someone like Washington, through the legal process he had available, freed his slaves immediately upon his death.
This is something that kind of matters, as opposed to Muhammad, who kept them till the day he died, and is symbolized by Mecca.
All right, so let me know what you want to say.
I was going to say, Jefferson also said that all men are created equal.
It's one of the greatest statements in history that we have from a leader, and you're tearing him down even after he did that?
Even after he went down that path?
Look, Gerald, it doesn't make any sense what you're saying.
What you're saying is that the entirety of the movement is based on Honoring equality in a constitution that was written by white men.
Equality is racist.
Yes.
That's a conclusion.
That's a very good conclusion.
Tear it all down.
I think that's a good note to end on.
Let me know if you agree with Gerald or with Bill.
Both regarding slavery and Mecca.
Gerald!
