Jacob Blake Shooting & BLM Riots! | TheQuartering Guests | Good Morning #MugClub
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
It begins on a dark night.
Look at this!
You're not gonna find another girl like her in a million years.
Subject for today!
Will you hand me the...
Yeah!
Longest slurp ever!
You gotta get a timer in here.
You gotta time that.
You nailed it.
Eat your heart out, CNN.
Really glad to be with you today.
We have a lot to get to.
We're going to talk about the DNC convention post-convention bump.
And there isn't one.
We're going to be talking about completely justifiable officer shootings.
Officers shooting, I should say.
People get it confused.
I think that's a legal term.
And we'll have the quartering.
His name is Jeremy?
Jeremy.
Jeremy.
I don't know.
I forget his last name.
But he will be here to talk about Leafy being banned on YouTube, along with him potentially meddling with election.
I can't believe we're talking about Leafy.
Are we talking about Leafy today?
I don't know, it's a douchebag name, but it doesn't mean that his speech should not be protected as well.
My half-Asian lawyer Bill Wichman is not here, he is in court because he has a real job, so Audio Wade is oddly in third chair.
How are you?
I'm doing well, how are you?
I don't care!
Tim from HR is in charge of audio, and then Gerald A. is back!
Yes!
A lot of people thought you were dead.
Despite the reports, I am not fired or dead.
I know, there's always a conspiracy.
And even the Hodge ones are like, what happened to the white guy with the blonde hair who's tall?
The Aryan dude!
Where's that guy?
Yeah, and they just said, I'm glad he's gone.
No, not here.
But your testicles were working overtime because you had a baby.
Well, nine months ago they were, yes.
We're a little late to the game on that one, but yeah.
And then you pretty much take a recess.
I take a recess from that particular activity, yes.
And what's the name of little Gerald?
Little Luke Morgan.
Do you think he looks more like you, or more like the Mistress?
In some ways he looks a lot like me, in other ways her.
So we've heard from both, like nurses would say both.
So you said, and I actually think he looks a lot more like you than the mom.
I think we have a picture too of Gerald A., adorable little baby.
I think he looks... Look at him!
Yeah!
The glasses and everything.
It's uncanny!
Receding hairline that early?
Jeez!
I see it both ways.
I don't know, I mean it's hard to... I see it as a lazy photoshop.
Oh my gosh.
I see that whoever was working had already clocked out like Gerald for nine months.
But the shading!
My question of the day to everyone out there is, have you noticed that the goalposts, and we're going to be getting into a couple of police shootings, have moved now?
Completely.
As far as it used to be unarmed black men to now it's just black men with a weapon that's slightly less effective than the police officers.
Right.
And when do you think it's appropriate for a police officer to shoot?
Do you think that they should only be able to use lethal force if you are completely unarmed?
I don't think most Americans think that, but you know what?
I've been known to be out of touch with that.
A little bit right now.
The Change My Minds are a rude awakening.
Also, please do subscribe to Crowder Bits and Mug Club.
LightOfTheCrowder.com slash Mug Club.
That's the only thing that allows us to survive, that allows us to create the Change My Minds and purchase bulletproof vests.
Everything, actually.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hopefully we'll do the bulletproof cars.
Before we move on to some stories, this is fun.
Biden is one of three candidates to ever not receive a post-convention bounce.
The only other ones were McGovern and Kerry.
That's rough.
So this is a bounce in what?
In the approval?
Post-convention.
Post-convention bounce, I guess, just as far as their voting.
You know, the only reason to have a convention is basically to get out there and have a parade of your ideas.
Well, that's a good idea!
He didn't get out there.
No, he didn't.
No, he stayed in his bomb shelter, which is not bulletproof because that would be a byproduct of white patriarchy.
At least he didn't do a carry where he had a negative one bomb.
The more we hear about you, the less we like you.
And I don't know, that could just be because it was the year they introduced HD.
You definitely don't want 1080p.
Those things are cavernous.
It's like Cami Diaz.
4K just ended her career.
Now I don't want to give anybody a false sense of hope, okay?
Get out and vote.
And this is, you know, and this is where I sometimes I just wish I were, I wish that I was a Democrat.
I could vote twice.
Or dead.
Either way.
You know?
It's my legacy.
A little piece of me stays, and that's my vote.
I don't want to give you a false sense of hope, but I am more confident now, I think, that Donald Trump will win.
Why do I think?
Do I think Donald Trump will get a bump post-convention?
I do, because it has to be a message of optimism.
We've talked about this.
I think they might have been watching the stream a little bit, because this wasn't the focus of the campaign.
But then, and I hate to say it, people are like, I started it!
I found out about Pizzagate!
But I did talk about this.
The Democrats, they need a message of negativity right now.
The deck is decked against you.
The economy is collapsing.
You can't do it yourself, so you need this transcendent political figure to save you, which is Joe Biden, who's been in government for 64 years.
65th the charm!
And then, on the Republican side, it has to be, hey, we did have the best economy ever.
Hey, we haven't been in major wars.
Hey, we actually have had the lowest crime until, of course, the rioting.
You call them protest, tomato, riot, burning down of Walgreens.
That needs to be the message for Republicans to win.
People need to be optimistic for Republicans to win.
People need to be pessimistic for Democrats to win.
And they need to be pessimistic and not believe that they're in control of their own destiny at all.
They have to believe that things are really bad and the only way it can be fixed Is Joe Biden.
Which to me, that is a horrible thing.
It's gotta be really sad to be a Democrat, yeah.
You gotta watch, again, this horrible narrative, and then, yes, your savior.
I wanna go quick to CNN.
This lady looks like if Kellyanne Conway were one of those little, like, dinosaurs you get in the cereal packets that you put in water.
This is after you put Kellyanne Conway in water.
You leave it in too long, it gets bubbly.
Yes, you leave it in too long, it gets bubbly.
And I'm sure she's a nice lady.
I get so pissed off about the USPS thing, by the way.
Anyway, bite my tongue.
Why?
That's because you weren't here for two weeks.
Because, no, no!
He was busy fathering!
No, no, no, I was watching the show!
It's all about overtime, that's all it is!
Why couldn't you just be like one of these guys involved in officer shootings and just you know take off?
Huh?
What pisses you off about the USPS what pisses me off and we do have to get to the justified police shootings
Oh, yeah, is is that they conflate?
Absentee balling right mail-in out. Yeah, because because I've been
I've been, I have voted before by absentee ballot because I've been traveling.
I've talked about it.
Yeah, very different.
There's identification.
You have to request it first.
Yes.
You have to do a lot of things.
My problem with this entire thing right here is one, that the USPS does not need a single cent to be able to get this done.
Two, if every person in America voted, that would be 75% of the mail they process in one day.
Not every person in America is going to vote.
They're not all registered.
I have all these letters for Santa Claus.
Exactly.
So there's no issue there.
And by the way, the issue with what they're saying, like, oh, he cut overtime?
That's the issue.
It's unions pissed off that he cut overtime because they would have to complete the mail once they started.
He changed the whole system to make it better, and they're pissed about it.
That's it.
That's all that's going on right now.
Gerald, they're heroes.
They're not heroes!
They're not!
They've been pissed about this for a month!
They're on the front lines of the 40% successful delivery rate.
They're on the front lines of playing kickball with my Black Rifle espresso machine.
Is 41 too much to ask for?
That's them doing their best.
That's them doing their absolute best.
If you have been losing money for 13 years straight, you've cost the taxpayers billions, if not trillions, if you're just for inflation.
I have absolutely no idea.
I don't know what the number is exactly.
And you can be taken out by someone with a van and an Amazon sticker.
Hey, you know what?
Maybe you're not part of the bare necessity.
No, you're not.
Yeah.
No, you're not.
All right.
No, I agree with you.
We should do more on the USPS thing.
Maybe later.
I understand.
Unfortunately, Donald Trump, obviously, I think it's self-serving here, but the USPS needs some revamping.
It does, and that's what they're trying to do right now.
That's what DeJoy, or whatever his name is, DeJoy is trying to do.
But it's racist.
Anyway, we'll talk about this another time because I'm pissed about it.
Okay, well, apparently... I need a minute!
We should change the name of the ledger.
Oh!
Gerald is going to... Of course!
You said we were going to talk about it later!
I didn't say we were going to talk about it later, you lie!
All right, let's go to this right now.
Of course, there have been riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and I want to warn you, there will be some graphic content today.
So again, the question of the day is, when do you think that police are justified in using lethal force?
Does the perpetrator have to be aiming a gun at the... which I guess doesn't matter, because it happened in Georgia, and people are like, well, But it was dark, though, so he probably wouldn't have hit him in the face.
Probably not.
Oh, okay, I guess.
Let's just send out cops.
Let's just put cops against the wall in front of a firing line like Che Guevara.
How about we just do that at this point?
If you don't want them to defend themselves at all, even when a gun, taser, sorry, is aimed at the face.
But in this case, we have two, actually, situations that occurred over the weekend.
I thought for sure when I sent the one over the weekend of the guy with the knife, I thought, this isn't going to go anywhere.
Sure enough, protests!
It surprises me now.
The standard barrier for protests is very, very low.
We literally have child abusers, sex offenders, who've been arrested for assaulting officers before, assaulting officers now.
I mean, tasers at faces, and they still protest as an unjustified shooting.
So, you know, I'm out of touch.
That's my white privilege talking, but let's get to the first one here in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Some of these clips will be graphic.
This is the reason you've heard the story, unarmed black men shot by police, that they are protesting.
He's walking around from the passenger side.
They've asked him to get on the ground, and they're aiming a gun at him, and he's reaching,
reaching, reaching, reaching, and they shoot him and he reaches the next one.
Probable cause.
Wow.
Wow, I mean, I don't know why you seem surprised.
You know when police officers have you on the other side of a car, their weapons are drawn, and they're ordering you to do something?
That's usually a cue that you have posed a threat.
You should probably not do anything else.
What I would like to do is bring up that still.
If we have it, bring up the still here.
This wasn't a guy who was just walking away from officers.
Look at that tension.
That guy is basically horizontal, like the kid in What About Bob when Richard Dreyfuss is teaching him how to dive.
Yeah, exactly.
That's not a guy who is just passionate, like, I was just getting my registration!
Officer, I was trying to put it in neutral, because that could be a safety hazard for your sorry white ass.
Clearly there's context, because all of the officers already had their guns out before the guy was walking around the car, back into his car.
So there's definitely more going on.
We have a statement from the governor that Jacob Blake was shot in the back multiple times in broad daylight.
What does that mean?
First off, multiple times doesn't matter.
Broad daylight doesn't matter.
Was the guy posing a threat?
Was the guy not complying?
Could the guy have turned around and shot officers?
Doesn't matter if he shot him.
I don't care if it's dusk, dawn, nautical twilight, civil twilight.
It could not be less relevant.
Yeah, and again, if all you need to know is the colors of the people involved, you're reasoning like a child.
You're not able to sort out the morality, and obviously there's some kind of crazy situation going on.
Again, we have to reduce it down to the color of the people involved.
The cop was white, the person was black.
I was just reaching in to put the air conditioning on recycle, because otherwise it's not efficient.
The governor basically said here are all the other cases that I know that have been tragic.
He tries to lump all these things together.
You know what he didn't say?
He didn't say one word in support of police officers who felt that their life was in danger and a man was trying to get into his car to grab something.
He didn't say one word to say let's wait for the facts, let's make sure we get everything lined up first.
These cops are trying Well, the good thing is we actually do have some facts.
Let's bring up these facts here from the county man, Blake, actually, in question, who's number one trend on Twitter right now.
What you won't see is he had a warrant out for his arrest, he was a sex offender, and had already assaulted officers and resisted arrest after pulling a gun in a bar in 2015.
Model citizen.
My guess is that probably came up if they ran his plates or they had him pulled aside, because that right away would show up when you run someone's registration, right?
When you run their plates, you would see, Well, this is a serial time offender.
Oh, wait a second.
He's a sex offender.
He's assaulted police officers when the officers were already responding because he brandished a gun and now he's reaching into the car.
But they didn't shoot him for the priors.
shot him because he was reaching into the car.
Well they shot him because he was reaching into the car, but you do have to take into
account someone's criminal violent history with firearms.
If they knew that, absolutely true.
Just like you said, Wade, he's doing something worthy of getting shot.
The officers, and by the way, when your friends are telling you the same thing the officers
are, like stop stop no no no no no, like you could hear in the background of the video,
Maybe everybody's for you stopping walking right now.
I think if you listen closely, you can hear someone go, here we go again!
Right.
Keep walking.
You can do it.
He's pulling that shit again!
Right.
Really, like honestly, this is not a new thing for this guy.
Now, is it sad?
Of course it's sad when someone loses their life, especially in front of their children.
It's more sad for those children that that man made horrible decisions, including putting the officers in a situation where they believe their life was in jeopardy.
But you know what?
This story is not nearly as sad.
As a story that would read, officers don't go home to their children.
I'm sorry, it's not as sad.
I know that people will say, it's not that one life matters more than the other, it's that you have made decisions and taken actions that lead you closer to forfeiting your right to live.
The closer you get to the line of forcing somebody else to protect their life, whether you mean to take it from them or not, You are no longer in the right.
There is a scale there and you have to go, alright, hold on a second, sex offender, okay, you have a history of violence, okay, you're not complying, okay, you're reaching into a car, okay, they can't even, what are they supposed to do at this point?
They're supposed to wait until you turn around and shoot one of the officers dead and then pull their guns, maybe defend their life?
I don't think so.
I know what the protesters in Kenosha are supposed to do.
Also, I don't know if it made it all the way up to Sheboygan.
Very big in Sheboygan, the rioting.
Sheboygan, the rioting, the looting.
Very big.
The polka twist, along with the polka twist in Yamaguchi.
The polka riot.
Polka, polka.
And rioting and burning.
This is what they did, of course.
They knocked an officer unconscious with a brick.
Could have killed him.
Easily.
Oh, he just got brick. He just got brick. They're clapping.
Yeah. The church, the fire, the fire's kissing it. And I, uh, in Minneapolis when we
were there. Now, are we supposed to say, oh, well, why, why did you shoot him?
He only had a brick!
Right, exactly.
That's not a deadly weapon.
That's not a deadly weapon!
A brick?
A knife?
A blackjack?
A taser?
I mean, at what point do they have to have a gun for an officer to use his gun?
And we'll get to that in a second, because the next guy we're about to talk about actually did have a knife.
And that guy said brick like it was a verb that he was used to.
Like, yo, you just got brick!
That's the usual thing.
Like it's an MTV show.
It's become a thing, yeah.
Right next to Bully Pete Down.
Cops getting bricked!
That's getting bricked! Oh yeah! Eeeeeeeeee! Oh my gosh.
Well, one thing about this guy, he is in serious condition.
He didn't die from the shooting.
Going back to... I'd read that he had died.
Okay, so the last report that I heard, unless something came out very early this morning, he was in serious condition in the hospital, was not dead.
But that could have changed.
You're too busy fathering.
I was reading as well.
Him watching CNN.
And they marked it off, put him in the ambulance, took him to the hospital.
They only did it because he reached into a car and actively looked like he was reaching for something.
Yeah.
Don't do stupid stuff.
And I don't know what was he reaching for.
Honestly, what could he possibly have been doing?
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter?
In other words, you are trying to rationalize decisions as a police officer, and you're taught to do that, to de-escalate.
Maybe someone is doing this where you're supposed to give the benefit of the doubt versus where you have to take control of protecting your own life at that point.
And how you watch the back of other officers.
I cannot think of a scenario where a guy is resisting.
You're pulling at his tank top and reaching.
That's not a guy who's reaching in for his insurance.
That's not a guy who's reaching in for a temporary license.
That's not a guy who's reaching in to take it out of neutral.
That is a guy with a purpose who is lunging into a car and even maybe he was maybe like George Floyd.
He was on drugs and out of his mind that could lead to a cardiac arrest.
We have absolutely no idea.
But if you are an officer, you have at that point.
Can anyone think of a scenario where you go?
Oh, this is totally normal behavior.
I'm not in danger at all.
I can't.
No, no, absolutely.
And if you can't use force here in any way, like, you just can't use force at all.
We've talked about this a number of times, that every time that you do something like this, like, you ruin an officer's life who didn't do anything wrong, the governor doesn't come out and support you, what does that do, again, to the morale of officers?
What does it do the next time that they pull?
If they hesitate the next time, they could die.
Yeah.
That's the line they walk.
They don't walk the, I get to do whatever I want because the police can't do anything to me, I'm just gonna do whatever I want.
That's the rule now, is being shot while black and not wanting to be arrested.
Yes, exactly.
That's what it is.
That's the line.
It's because they didn't want to get arrested.
I didn't want to get arrested.
No.
So they had to put their life on the line because you don't want to get arrested.
And this is another scenario where there's a worn-out for his arrest.
That's one commonality that you see here, right?
That people always... That's why I said before Georgia, was it Rayshard Brooks, that some of them all kind of bleed together.
I said, I bet you that this guy had a rap sheet.
We said it on air.
I said, I don't have any evidence right now.
I bet you there's a rap sheet there that he was going to go away for a long time because that's where you see scenarios that people violently resist officers.
And by the way, it happens all the time.
If someone has a rap sheet, they do not want to go back to the clink.
They're not going to willingly get into the back of the paddy wagon.
That's where all of a sudden, claustrophobia appears.
It happens all the time.
That's when people are at their most dangerous because they have nothing to lose.
They're desperate.
And officers know that.
They know when they're approaching a suspect that has that potential.
Like, okay, this is the third strike or the fourth time they're getting arrested for this.
They're going away for a while.
I have to be careful because they know that.
They know that they have to put up a fight.
If you watch that video, the cops are obviously having to weigh the consequences of their actions.
The person who's not weighing the consequences of their actions and is acting wildly violently is the guy who ended up getting shot.
So you can paint this as if the cops are just, again, just swinging their guns around doing whatever they want.
But really, that's the other guy.
The guy who got shot is the guy who's not thinking.
Exactly.
And the headline that pissed me off, on Twitter, it said, a black man shot in the back by police officers.
I'm like, oh my gosh, what happened?
And I clicked on it, right?
And then I see on CNN, the lower third, as they show the video, the video is right there!
And they're showing black men shot by police officers.
No context whatsoever.
Yeah, just shot in the back.
That's the thing they do, right?
If someone turns their back, just like, it's like, like it's all the officers, I turn my back, you can't shoot me!
You can't see me, right?
Like it's wrestling where they go belly down to avoid a pin.
That's not how it works!
You still have a knife!
It's like, see it?
See it?
It's right there on your screen.
Can't you say, it looks like he's reaching into the car.
Can't you provide some commentary that says, Cassina, can you speak the truth?
It burns!
Like, I can't!
I can't!
Here's another one in other completely justifiable officer shootings perpetrators.
This happened I believe in Louisiana.
This is another one.
I don't know that you've seen this.
This happened over the course of the weekend.
I saw it on TMZ and again the story was man shot in the back by officers 10 times.
I've read both 11 and 10 times.
Maybe someone can tell me which one is correct.
It depends on what site you go to.
Again, graphic warning, but this is important because I I was sure that this wouldn't have legs.
This is the most clear-cut, justifiable one.
And here we are.
Guy has a knife.
He's walking to a convenience store.
We got to witness this.
We have to witness this.
Put the window down!
Put the window down!
This guy has a knife.
He's walking to a convenience store.
Put the window down!
Oh, God.
He got a knife!
He's got a knife.
Well, he's got a knife.
Let me go see!
He's got a knife.
They've already tased him from what I understand, or they tried to tase him.
They're trying to block him from getting in the convenience store.
That's where he's going this entire time.
He's got a knife.
The officers are trying to block him with the car.
Now they're telling him to get on the ground.
They've tried to tase him.
They're tasing him.
He's not doing anything.
He's continuing to walk to the convenience store, trying to go in with a knife.
As soon as he starts to, yeah, try to get in there.
So do you hate everyone in that convenience store?
Right, right.
I'm sorry, what do you think is, again, what could be any justifiable scenario in that case where you're refusing to comply, you refuse to get down on the ground, tasers aren't working, and you're walking with a knife like it's a part of your daily checklist like I am with Trader Joe's and getting toucan O's.
This is the last resort.
The last resort was to take him down.
He could have got in there, stabbed the clerk, stabbed customers.
He was clearly going there.
Yeah.
Come on.
It really does.
Yeah.
on a mission and you cannot at that point other people's lives are in danger
and what again what are you does the man have to have a gun yeah the man have to
have a gun does it have to be currently skewering the clerk's face but through
the bulletproof glass right with a little little microphone hole which sort
of defeats the purpose it really does I knew that when I said it was super 8 one time
I'm like by the way you can clean up the cockroaches also bulletproof glass kind
of pointless when there's a hole the size of your giant right where your head is
Does he have to be stabbing somebody in the face?
Especially with a knife, how are officers supposed to subdue him at that point?
Like, this is one of those, you can't because you're going to get stabbed!
And if you believe the entire Black Lives Matter narrative, is this your martyr?
This guy who's running at a convenience store with a knife?
That's the guy you want to choose.
The answer is yes.
And by the way, you know what the officers didn't do?
They didn't shoot him for about, what, 150 feet of walking behind him, telling him to get on the ground, trying to block him, tasering him.
The minute that he started to put somebody else's life in danger, because as soon as he gets in that store and he has a knife to the throat of the clerk, it's a hostage situation.
You're done.
Somebody could not get to go home because they went to work that day.
And you know what?
This guy was the asshole.
I have no idea if that clerk... Pardon?
I have no idea... Oh, Fatherhood's changed, too.
I know, I know.
Sorry.
Luke, I'm sorry.
Some of that sexual frustration.
I don't know if that was in a white community or black community.
I have no idea.
It doesn't matter.
The people in that store should not have their life put in jeopardy because you don't like a man with a knife being shot by the police.
We've moved the goalposts from unarmed black men, and by the way, I saw this on CNN, both CNN and Young Turks, but I repeat myself.
I saw them say, uh, they were refuting something Tucker Carlson said where he said, uh, last year it was eight unarmed black men, which was a different stat because I think we've used the stat nine, but I believe it's nine.
He said eight unarmed black men were shot by police officers and they went back to see them in Young Turks.
I said, except that's not true.
And they listed some number of a hundred something.
No, he didn't say black men shot by officers.
He said unarmed black men, because that was a standard that you use.
By the way, many of those unarmed black men were still committing acts of violence.
You can still be punching someone in the face if you're unarmed.
So he went from unarmed to well now, uh, Armed.
Doesn't count.
knife is not enough. Aiming a taser at an officer's face is not enough. This man was
Right.
armed. This man was armed. You are going to protest a man who was armed and who was not,
by the way, just assaulting officers. He was going to likely commit a violent assault against
one of you!
He was a citizen.
He was a threat to civilians.
Yeah.
His knife was just for the hot dogs.
Sometimes those things... Oh, you know, you can't get it with your hand.
That's what it was.
Listen, listen.
I hear you.
I hear you.
I'm gonna go get some taquitos with my Bowie knife.
You can't cut through those things with any other knife.
Give me a second.
Give me a second.
I cannot get my taquitos cut symmetrically unless I got this Rambo 3 shit.
Right?
This ain't a Q-Tip I'm going into.
You know how it is.
No!
We don't!
We don't!
Oh my gosh.
By the way, I said QT.
You're famous at QT's.
I went into one and they're like, you're that guy.
And he's like, Steven.
I love QT.
We love him!
He talks about QT!
I love QT and it's sad that you haven't signed up for a sponsorship there, QT.
Yeah, come on.
Get off the sidelines.
It would be a shame if all of a sudden I became a fan of Racetrack.
Oh!
What?
No, I can't.
Don't worry, QT.
I am at your mercy.
Okay, I have no leverage because Racetrack sucks and 7-Eleven, their bathrooms are like an episode of Lock Up.
Locked up abroad.
There we go.
Oh, I forgot.
Do we have that clip?
By the way, in case you're wondering what could happen to an officer if they don't take measures to protect their lives or the lives of civilians, I believe that we have a montage here of the officers who, what happens if someone does reach for a glove, reach in their glove box, or someone does go into a car, let alone a knife.
This last one I almost feel like should just be discarded.
Unfortunately, there are going to be protests, but it's very, very common that officers have to make split
decisions.
And when they make the wrong one, and they don't shoot, this can happen.
What's up, man?
That's how fast.
Yeah.
Battle Creek sucks, too.
Battle Creek, Michigan?
Horrible place.
Yes.
Here you go.
Guy gets to his car.
Right now!
They don't shoot him.
Yeah.
Reaching in.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Starts pulling the gun.
starts pulling the trigger on the officers.
And one thing too that's important is people say well there's a discrepancy.
There's a discrepancy of force.
They have guns.
Those people don't.
Okay, but there also is a discrepancy, right?
There's a huge chasm in someone who is hired to enforce the law, someone who is acquiescent, someone who is beholden to the laws, and someone who is proactively breaking the law.
That also is an advantage.
If this cop says, well, I can't just murder in cold blood, and the other guy says, oh, I think I got a leg up because I can murder in cold blood.
I will.
Well, and the political climate right now with police officers is that you can do whatever you want and police officers shouldn't be able to do anything back.
That just emboldens people, right?
You're telling everybody, all the police officers are bad people, they're horrible right now, we should defund them, you don't have to listen to them, you can do whatever you want, and then somebody goes off and does this and they're like, what did you shoot him for?
Because you said this, you've created this environment where every cop is bad looking to kill a black person.
That's not the case.
They're trying to avoid that last And by the way, let's just sweep all of the black cops under the rug.
All minority officers who make up a high percentage of police officers in the general population.
They're all Uncle Tom's and self-loathing.
You don't want to know anything about this.
Look!
A man with only a knife!
You know that last guy too?
They're pissed off about the number of times the police shot this guy.
They shot him multiple times.
The last guy that shot those two officers had a bullet in his head and drove himself to the hospital.
Yeah.
Okay?
That's why they shoot multiple times.
That's like the world is not enough.
You shoot until the perpetrator is down.
You don't stop until they can't shoot you.
That was that J'von J'von where the bullet kept going deeper in his head and it only made him stronger.
Mr. Bond.
We can't have that! We can't have super soldiers fighting our officers!
Watch the world is not enough, okay?
That's why you shoot first.
By the way, hit the notification bell if you're subscribed on YouTube because
subscriptions don't mean a whole lot.
That's true.
Notifications will make sure that it's pumped to your mobile.
And, oh, you have ice in your cup.
I do.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
Wow.
For some reason, whenever I hear that, it sounds like whiskey.
How dare you?
It does.
Whiskey!
And we do this show every weekday, Monday through Thursday, at 10 a.m.
Eastern.
And let us know if you want us to stream the convention, the Republican convention, on Thursday.
I thought it would be boring.
Maybe.
But maybe we can.
We'll put a poll out on Twitter, and you can let me know.
Maybe.
Something else, I don't under- this is something that I guess maybe someone can explain it to me.
Wade, you're smart.
Wait, I'm here too, let's put a pressure on Wade.
I figure you're exhausted from all your fathering.
It's true.
He is more experienced, he's been a father multiple times.
Me, it's a given.
But I mean, you're just like a big kid.
You sleep on the yogi bow that I gave you.
It's so comfortable though.
I know, but you're a child.
It just cuddles me so nicely.
It's a long beanbag chair.
It actually is.
I hurt my back and I fell asleep in the Yogi Bo.
Not a sponsor, but Yogi Bo beanbag.
It's like memory foam.
I fell asleep in my garage, which you know is just a jiu-jitsu gym.
We double up the foam and I just... And I woke up with Joe Louis' face in my face because he wants to be so close to me.
He wants to inhale my breath and then wear my flesh like a coat.
He's trying to steal your soul.
He's a good dog.
He's getting his because of Cruella de Vil.
He's reversing the tables.
So I don't understand this when this became a rule that you can only use what it is that the perpetrator uses.
If you are home alone at night and a rapist comes in and he only has a knife, are you unjustified in shooting that rapist?
Or should you only use a knife?
Should you have it?
I think it should be as unfair of a fight as humanly possible.
And especially with officers because we send them out not only to defend their own lives but to defend our Our lives.
That is actually the contract that we have with officers.
They are paid through our tax dollars.
They're sworn duty to protect our rights.
And this is something that's a fundamental misunderstanding of police officers and people who understand this is, yeah, I do have a problem with militarization of police.
I do have a problem with police who are infringing on our rights.
If a police officer pulls me over and asks to search my car for no reason, I would say no.
No you can't, because I do believe in constitutionally limited parameters for officers.
But understanding the spirit of the law, they are sworn to protect our rights.
So when someone else becomes a threat to our lives, and by the way, By proxy, they're a threat to our lives.
If they start picking off officers, like Dallas and Detroit, or the 900 officer casualties that we've seen as a result of these riots, they have, at that point, I think they should pull out artillery like they're Jim Carrey in The Mask, okay?
I don't understand when we started this.
It's rock, paper, scissors.
Yeah, exactly.
You don't exactly yell out, alright, what do you have?
Guys, he's only got a knife!
Alright, everybody put your guns down!
He only has a knife!
Put your guns down!
Go fish!
Yeah, it's like, what?
Yeah, well these people are, cops are living in complicated, scary situations, and people on the outside don't want to deal with the actual details.
The details get messy, the details get crazy, and they have to make decisions that we don't ever have to make, or that we don't typically have to make.
And so, yeah, again, from the outside, people on CNN, they sit in their studios and they can comment, but they don't actually want to deal with situations The studio's protected by police officers, by the way.
Well, not really all that well when they ravaged it.
If it's true, yeah.
That was fun.
Because there was a police precinct down there, they're like, just take the cops!
Just leave Stelter alone!
If you cut him open, it's just snack packs.
He's our special little boy.
He's our special little boy, Stelter.
Really, if anything happens, his wealthy family is going to get mad because you know he has no business hosting a show.
Come on, look at him.
And this is new and improved Stelter!
This is post-Queer Eye Stelter.
Run a Google image search for Young Stelter.
It's the stuff that gives children nightmares.
And you know what?
First off, how many of these people are paying taxes, by the way?
Maybe they don't understand the contract we have with police officers because they don't pay taxes.
I have no idea.
But something else that is important.
This could be a teachable moment with kids.
You know, for example, I knew a kid whose dad died drinking and driving.
And the conversation they had with their kids was, you know what?
Dad made a mistake.
And make sure you don't ever make that kind of mistake because this could happen to you.
But these are not the conversations that are being had with these kids right now.
How do I know?
Because they're not having these conversations at the DNC.
No mention, by the way, of the riots.
None at the DNC.
Also, no mention of impeachment.
Not once.
Zero.
I also don't think there was any mention of Russia, but I could be wrong.
It'll come back.
Few, if any.
Surprising!
That was their number one store, yeah, for three years.
Or Cavanaugh!
No mention of Cavanaugh.
But no one is talking about, with these children, hey, you know what?
Your dad reached into a car when he was told to get on.
Your dad took a knife, wielded it, and tried to go stab someone at a convenience store who owed him some money for a carburetor on his old motorcycle.
Don't repeat his mistakes.
Don't do it.
Instead, it's, they're out to get you.
They're out to get you.
Every time you get pulled over, your life is in danger.
Statistically, it's not true.
And even anecdotally now, these anecdotes, this is the thing, if they're We're an example.
If it's out there, please send it.
Of a man going, officer, my hands are at 10 and 2.
Could I have a license here?
Even I'm a concealed carry permit holder.
Let me reach for this in my glove compartment.
If there is a video in the last year with all of these going on, these Black Lives Matter, Antifa riots.
If you can find a video of a man saying, OK, I'm complying.
I'm getting on the ground.
Officer, this is a miscommunication, and getting shot, getting lit up like the 4th of July, I will stand corrected.
I haven't seen it.
At the very least, you go, okay, I can see this is a muddy scenario, but in all the cases we've presented this morning, it's entirely justifiable.
Yeah, absolutely.
Go home, have dinner, and don't even skip a meal.
Break your intermittent fast and go home and kiss your family because you get to live another day, officers.
I blame you for Nothing.
Not something.
Not a little bit.
Not two wrongs don't make a right.
You did your job.
Thank you, officers.
No problem here.
And they should get a lot of support from the police unions.
They should get a lot of support from the mayor.
Everybody should be supporting them right now and saying, look, we're standing behind the police officers because you have to.
If you don't, police officers are going to quit or they're going to die on the job.
Those are the two things that are going to happen because people are going to get shot because they don't protect themselves.
Well, and we live in a very imperfect system.
I don't know when we thought that this was perfect, that there was never going to be a mistake made by police officers, that there was never going to be a perpetrator that posed a threat that was going to have to be put down for some reason.
It's sad that it happens, but I'd rather they be shot than the police officer be shot.
It's an imperfect system.
If you do what cops tell you to do, you will 99.999999999% of the time go home that night.
I can't verify that.
I know, but think about it.
I can't verify it.
Maybe the quartering can fact check us.
He can be like our ombudsman with Gerald's fathering bullcrap.
Did we hire a math asian yet?
Listen, all I'm saying is your attention is split.
Your attention is split.
You couldn't possibly know that number because you have a human to raise.
I have a baby brain, man.
A little human.
Yeah, but if you listen to, and if you believe the CNN version of this, the online version, the Twitter version of this, you are being turned into a stupid person.
Yes.
If you're not already.
They're dumbing it down for you because they think you're stupid, and if you're taking it in, and again, taking the simplified version of this, you are stupid.
Yeah.
Wow.
They just called everyone stupid.
I really hope that you don't think, if you turn your back to an officer, that it's like, oh, game off.
Really?
Right.
It's not an invisible cloak.
He can still see you and arrest you.
I'm on base.
That's my car.
I'm on base.
I'm sorry that I'm a sex offender and committed child abuse, but ahhh!
We almost had him.
Where'd he go?
The old back-turning car.
Where'd he go?
He's on base, yeah.
All you're gonna do is force him to go carol in on your sorry ass and suplex you into oblivion, you dumbass!
You're just exposing yourself more, you moron!
Speaking of morons, people who wanted to cover this, the Proud Boys descended upon Portland and committed mass acts of violence.
This is trending right now.
It was trending yesterday.
And I want to be clear, I am not a member of the Proud Boys.
I do not endorse the Proud Boys.
I'm not a member of any group, gang, because eventually you're going to have someone in there who's an unsavory character, even though there are blacks and Latinos in Proud Boys.
I wouldn't be surprised if you searched high and low if you find somebody who probably has some Pepe posts.
I don't know.
Maybe somewhere down the line had a couple of posts at Stormfront.
No idea.
But it's clearly not the mission of the Proud Boys as an organization.
So I want to be clear.
I'm not one of them.
But this coverage was absolutely ridiculous.
100 Proud Boys showed up in Portland.
They were violently attacked, of course, by Antifa and Black Lives Matter protesters.
And then the media tried to point out the double standard.
Why?
Why aren't they There's a Nazi flag right there.
I'm entertained.
on peaceful protesters with tear gas and the proud boys can show up with Nazi
flag well no that's actually not what happened but here's a clip there's a
Nazi flag right there I'm entertained
and actually there's an umbrella he just I don't want association with any of
those because none of them can fight I'm sorry, I get it.
I appreciate the Proud Boys.
They want to go out there and defend speakers sometimes from Antifa, but the fighting is just absolutely pathetic.
And it has to be pathetic because you're fighting in gangs.
And only pussies join gangs, folks.
It's a proven fact.
One guy's hitting with an umbrella, another guy with his purse.
What are you trying to annoy people?
I mean, an umbrella's not going to hurt anybody, really.
Do we have that article?
Actually, I think we can bring it up from Axios that was talking about the convention that started today.
And it said, this is Trumplandia.
And they said, I see a lot of American flags.
I think we have some.
I sent it this morning.
Oh, how dare there be American flags?
In other words, the left has admitted that patriotism is a Republican value.
It's a conservative value.
Oh, Trumpianism.
It's Trumpian.
Look at all these American flags.
Remember not too long ago when your folks, the Democrats, still wore American flag pins.
Because he didn't hate this country.
He didn't, you know, have candidates in the primaries who honeymooned in the USSR.
He had people who maybe believed in a slightly more progressive tax, but they generally still liked this country.
Now you have Communist Jackass and Joe Biden.
Yeah, well, and math.
I think the math one is particularly funny.
The GOP Connect will be a Trumpian production, and in there they have a direct quote where they say, oh, I saw some American flags.
Trumplandia.
Scary.
Good Axios, thank you.
So, of course, people were furious that the cops didn't intervene immediately, and they were labeling all of the Proud Boys far-right activists.
Oh, of course they are.
Now let's accept this premise for a second.
This is what I wanted to do.
And I don't think that the Proud Boys are far-right activists.
Again, maybe you might have some in there who are, but that's not the mission statement of the organization.
Far-right activists.
Let's assume that, and of course when people say these folks exist on the fringes, of course we would have to say Antifa, and I guess now Black Lives Matter exists on the fringes, right?
These are just the extreme leftists.
So extreme right, my right, your left, Proud Boys.
Should I go stage left, stage right?
I've done theater, so I know some of the theater terms.
I'm confused.
My right, your left.
I'll go downstage, that's down toward you, Proud Boys.
Upstage, you know what, I don't want the Proud Boys to be upstage.
Upstage, Proud Boys.
Downstage, Black Lives Matter and Antifa.
So Proud Boys, they're far right.
Let's accept this.
From what I saw, they committed zero in property damage.
Zero in property damage when I saw them go down.
Compare that to 700 plus million dollars in property damage from Black Lives Matter.
Fires every night, smashed cars, windows.
It's for heat.
From what I saw, and anyone can correct me if I'm wrong out there, you comment, let me know.
Because if I'm wrong, I want you to tell me.
Just be like my wife.
It's never ending.
It's a full-time job.
By the way, I'll tell you what, you know what I did yesterday?
What's that?
Something wrong.
I got really petty.
My wife was like, she put her roller board from her GBS, like the wooden board with a roller ball underneath it to get her balancing.
For the third time, she put it around the corner and it's the same color as her wooden floorboards.
And I stepped on it and I hurt my back.
And I went and I said, OK.
Did you fall?
No, I didn't.
Did you go down?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I had a twinge in my back and I went and I said, OK.
I said, we've talked about this three times.
I said, next time, if you put that there and I hurt myself, I'm going to yell.
And she's like, why do you always have to yell?
I'm like, I'm not yelling.
I said, I'm going to yell.
I'm telling you.
And then she goes, I know.
So I said, OK, fine.
If we're going to have a complete, this is the rule now, we're going to have a complete and total lack of consideration for one another, fine.
I went in and I started smoking a cigar and I swear to God, ashed it on the carpet.
That is petty.
Then she walked in to apologize, saw the ashes, walked out, and I immediately knew I was wrong.
By the way, I love it.
I would have won!
She was doing the right thing.
And by the way, I love what you did.
You were gonna have to buy new carpet if that ruined it.
No, you know what I did?
I picked a cigar that I know drops off in chunks, so afterwards it didn't actually get on the carpet.
And it's a rug that has like a... I'm not sure I trust you on cigar action anyway, so... But the visual is the same.
Oh yeah, you don't trust my cigar eyes, by the way.
For people who want to look at this.
Can you see this?
Yeah, that shows up for sure.
That shows up for sure.
That's absolutely disgusting.
I was sitting in, again, hurt my back, empty gravity chair, and tapped the ash, and I went, ah!
Unfortunately, I couldn't get it out because my inverted sternum is like a cup.
Hold up.
I'm going to zoom in.
Can you zoom in?
Oh, boy.
Let me get this here.
Oh, we got the close-up camera.
Get the burn cams in.
Get the focus in.
Burn cams.
Look at that.
Look at that.
And I was smearing it around.
Look at that.
Your life is so hard.
It's disgusting.
I don't need so much corrections.
I don't need your comments correcting me so much as comments for a nice salve.
Maybe just use common sense next time.
So we'll go back to Proud Boys.
Let's assume that they're far right.
Zero property damage compared to Black Lives Matter.
From what I saw, zero civilians targeted or harmed.
From what I saw.
Well look at that.
Certainly no targeting.
That's not why they went there.
They went there for a back the blue rally as far as I understand.
We have $700 million in property damage.
We have no civilians targeted right here from the Proud Boys.
Again, this is the worst!
The far right has to offer us!
These guys, you can't put in Richard Spencer in there because he just voted for Biden!
And I always have to remember who Richard Spencer is.
I'm like, oh, he's the one white supremacist who still exists.
Oh, OK.
And he supports Joe Biden.
And a bad haircut.
Yeah.
But surely they emptied a CVS or something, right?
You would assume so.
I would assume so.
Or at the very least, like a Duane Reade.
They don't have him out there in Portland.
That's a New York thing.
So you know what?
Get your facts straight before you come on my show.
Let's contrast this, not attacking any civilians, with Black Lives Matter.
Again, I warn you, graphic content here today because I think you guys need to know the truth.
The gall of that guy trying to drive on the road.
They caught this guy by the way.
Yes, he should go to jail for a very long time.
Or what they should do is, like Apocalypto, give him the right to, only instead of the right to run, he has the right to reach into a glove box.
They knocked this guy out and called him a loser.
Yeah.
They claimed he was trying to run people over.
It's like, that's not what happened.
This is the guy in Dallas who we have going to the live stream.
Now as you can see, those aren't, that's not warring gangs or factions there.
Those are civilians who are around, right?
Again, Proud Boys got into fights.
They showed up to fight with Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
They showed up to back the blue, but listen, they expect it, obviously.
Because really, you don't even need to bait the hook.
You just show up.
It's just around now.
It's like, what do I need to do to be the target of their ire, for them to be violent?
Exist.
Walk down the street.
Just exist.
Be a human and they will violently attack you.
Yeah, exactly.
And by the way, just because Black Lives Matter Antifa happened to be protesting somewhere, it doesn't mean that somebody else can't protest as well.
If you're backing their right to protest, you have to back everybody's right.
They can walk down the street and not do anything wrong.
It's fine.
So my point is this.
Yeah, I know we have our guest, who we'll be on here with in just a second, Jeremy Hambly from The Quartering.
But if the Proud Boys are the far, my right, your left, far right, and Black Lives Matter and Antifa are the left, and we see no civilians targeted, no police officers targeted, no, contrast that of course with 900 officer casualties you see.
People get mad at me and say, why do you say casualties?
Because look up the definition of casualties.
Do you pay taxes?
So, casualties from Black Lives Matter.
Really, the only people, if you're checking your closet for the far-right boogeyman, the only people who need to be checking their closet, checking under the bed, are Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
So if you out there are concerned about which side is more dangerous, there is one side that systematically and continually, there has been a long-standing history of them being dangerous to anyone who gets in their path.
It's a cluster bomb versus a laser-guided missile.
Proud Boys?
Sure, it's wrong.
You can't just show up and start beating people up.
The reason the officers didn't interfere is because a lot of states have mutual combat laws.
I don't know if that's the case in Oregon.
I don't think it is.
I know in Washington there is.
But if people are mutually engaging in combat, and it's not going to the point of death or something incredibly dangerous, people have that right.
So when people say, why aren't the officers doing anything?
It's because they're white.
Some of the Proud Boys are black.
No, it's because they are not targeting the officers, burning down their precincts, chanting, defund the police, and attacking civilians.
So if you want to check your closet under your bed for far-right activists, you're not going to find the Proud Boys there.
You're going to find not only Antifa, but all of Black Lives Matter.
Okay, we're going to go to a quick break.
We will be back with the quartering.
We're covering Jeremy Hamly, right after this talk with LeafyBeanBand.
He's so bright that he can't even look at my face.
He's so bright that...
Open your mind. Let us begin our quest to find him.

You can follow him on the Twitter at TheQuartering.
Jeremy, thank you for being here, sir.
It's an honor.
Real glad to be here.
Fan of the show.
Glad to be on.
Well, let's curb our expectations here, okay?
And you've spoken, actually, with half-Asian lawyer Bill Richmond, if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah, you know, I've engaged with him, and he told me he was giving For people who don't know, you did a video on this, I know quite a few people have, but you kind of cover these topics quite a bit, so I wanted to have you on.
No, that's the I'm annoyed every time you call price.
That's the I have to have a caller ID super screener price.
For people who don't know, you did a video on this.
I know quite a few people have, but you kind of cover these topics quite a bit.
So I wanted to have you on.
Leafy is someone who was really big on YouTube a while back.
And as far as I understand it, he is still banned on YouTube, correct?
Explain to people what the conflict is here.
Yeah, he is still banned.
And as a minor update, his second channel was banned.
So the generally accepted reasoning is that he had made a series of videos about a particular content creator.
And some of them were kind of just clickbaiting her.
Some of them were Critiquing her directly all as he describes himself in comedy and satire apparently YouTube didn't like that and so they banned his channel at the time he had zero strikes and
To date, he has received zero communications from YouTube.
He received zero emails.
Wow.
Why his account was banned.
Team YouTube has replied to thousands of other requests for information on their official Twitter account, and they've ignored his request, which has something like 70,000 interactions.
To be clear, Leafy is not a small... Leafy had like four plus million subscribers.
Yeah, yeah.
Also did gaming.
I'm not super familiar.
I know he had the emo cut.
That's about what I remember.
Yeah, people say yeah, yeah, as well as some sort of a weak chin, but I don't, like Leafy's content wasn't exactly for me, but my interest in it is simply the naked exposure of YouTube's community guideline strikes meaning nothing.
Yeah.
In my opinion, strikes should be things that are issued to give corrective action.
Right.
If you're going to issue all three at once, and you basically just have a public execution, what is the point for other content creators to rely on this system?
Right.
Yeah, what's the point to a warning if it's like, hey, I fired a warning shot and he's dead?
Well, he fired a warning shot and then nine times straight to the sternum.
Well, it seems like the warning shot was kind of incidental at that point, Charles.
Let me ask, what's the general reaction from, again, for people who don't know, this wasn't political, this is just, it's not consistent with YouTube's guidelines, and by the way, I'm sorry that those guidelines have gotten more stringent.
Guilty!
Apologies!
I didn't intend for it to be the case!
But in my case, right, we had criticized Vox many times, and not just specific people at Vox, we'd criticized multiple different people, multiple different channels from Vox.
I mean, you just said weak chin, and I see this as a man who grew a beard to hide my own very weak chin.
some individuals got upset and YouTube acknowledged that this was by and large
it was a criticism of Vox's ideas and yeah listen ad hominem sometimes because
it's funny I mean you just said weak chin and I see this as a man who grew a
beard to hide my own very weak chin. If I drool it goes straight down into my
chest ashburn. So but here's my question is the issue is obviously inconsistent
application of guidelines and there's no real use to them if they if they aren't
something that people understand.
What I find really upsetting is when you get big YouTubers, and I don't want to throw you under the bus, but people like H3H3 or before, you know, Philip DeFranco, people who are these big YouTubers out there who go, well, I'm either happy about this or what do you guys think?
And they don't take a stand.
You see that all the time, like, I don't know.
No offense taken.
Yeah.
What do you beautiful bastards think?
I don't know.
Do you have an opinion?
Because they're coming for you next.
So what do you think?
What has the reaction been from YouTube and people online in general?
Has it been largely positive because I know this person was disliked?
Or do these people also understand that even if they dislike somebody, it still doesn't set a good precedent for this person to be permabanned?
Well, so just first and foremost, I think you already know or some of your viewers, we do share them.
My opinion is that it's 100% grade A.
BS.
And whether or not you liked his content is irrelevant to me.
I think that most people in the know have had this kind of a take.
Some of his content is difficult to defend.
There were definitely terms of service breaking things in some of his videos and I've covered that and he's definitely deserved a strike or two for some of that stuff.
But What's really disgusting is some of these large creators, like you've mentioned, and I'll go a step further because I'm on your platform and I won't suffer as much as you, a creator like h3h3 openly celebrating it.
Yeah, right.
That is this stuff that I cannot stand.
It is one of the most, you know, there's that saying, right, they came for whatever and then I said nothing and I said nothing and then when they came for me there was no one left.
Right.
There is another YouTuber who is subject of a serious amount of cancel culture.
And he put out a tweet basically like, well, nothing of value was lost.
Freedom!
I won't say that Leafy was necessarily a victim of cancel culture, but it did spin up after he was terminated.
A lot of people jumping on the, wow, before he lost his platform I hadn't said anything.
But now that he's gone, I've been against his clear harassment for years.
I hated him before it was cool.
Right, right, yeah.
And that's coming from some of the large creators, and it's difficult because as someone who supports alt-tech, and you support as well, I see you have a BitChute account, which is good for you, but these creators don't see an alternative, and they don't see the big picture, and they don't see that what they'll say down the road, or an old joke they made, will come back to get them the second people want it to.
And it's such Yeah, it's such a hypocritical position to take. So I think
the overall position, sorry, is that most people understand it's a bad thing. There are a few
people with very poor takes, usually people that he's made fun of, quite honestly.
It's nakedly, it's like a total obvious hypocrisy.
So, you know, in general I think people are against it.
Yeah, and we're going to go to a web extended at lineofthecutter.com slash mugclub here really quickly for people who are watching on YouTube because sometimes we can't discuss everything on YouTube.
But I'm someone who was the victim of this myself, by the way, in that the Young Turks, when I had like 50,000 subscribers, the reason people say, well, why do you have such an ax to grind with them?
I don't anymore because it would be bullying.
It would be like punching down.
But when I was coming up, they targeted me when I was a small channel, and I never wanted them to be banned.
I just wanted to be able to have a debate.
I wanted to be able to have my content be just as publicly available as theirs.
So I have been the victim of targeted campaigns, both from people who were bullying when I was small and cancel culture.
And I don't advocate for any of those people to be banned.
We've had people on the show that I disagree with, who've been banned, and I don't advocate for it.
So someone like an H3H3, who I saw, I've seen Philip DeFranco, I've seen a few people in the past, just, I'm so disappointed when I see it, and they sort of are taking up arms with the NBC, you know, ABC, CBSes, where they're trying to protect what's theirs, they have a huge platform now, they want to slam the door behind them, and, listen.
That's fine if they want to say that, I just don't want to see his name as Ethan Klein.
You say, this is my opinion.
I don't want to see him ever bitching about cancel culture ever again, or complaining when something of his is taken out of context.
