Hey.
You want some gum?
Yes.
Yes, Finnegan.
I would love some gum.
Beautiful song.
I'm not a professional.
I'm not a professional.
laughing sigh
Hey, you want some gum?
Yes, yes Finnegan, I would love some gum.
This is great stuff.
Fry.
Sprite?
Sprite gum with xylitol.
Finnegan, that is a delight.
Where can I get this?
Oh boy, anywhere really.
CBS, Acme, H-E-B, Viral Drugs, Associated Food Stores, Divers, Birth Fair.
Yeah, what's up?
Have you seen my propeller cap?
Because I can't find it anywhere.
It was probably in the costume room.
Let's check there.
Well, yeah, I already checked, but it's not there.
I don't give a ****.
Go find it!
I've heard of this.
It's got the xylitol that's good for the bacteria in your mouth.
You can use it between brushing.
It's actually good for your teeth.
Unlike normal gum, which is only going to rot your teeth and your mind.
Son of a b****.
This is really good gum.
For the best in dental defense products, including gum, mouthwash, toothpaste, go to xclear.com.
That's spelled xlear.com.
Like clear.com, Amazon, or your local pharmacy.
and to see the published data on the benefits.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Don't tweet anything anti-Semitic.
Hey, tweet team!
I said no anti-Semitism!
They just, they always get it wrong.
We'll be talking about Ye today.
I keep wanting to say ye, but we'll be talking about Kanye West being sued for, you know, saying what is medically accurate regarding George Floyd.
And hey, remember when they said we'd stop with Alex Jones?
Well, here we are.
You're next.
And Joy Reid, look, this is my question for you.
This is a genuine question.
I've sort of changed a little bit on this.
I used to always say, don't attribute to malice what you can attribute to ignorance.
And in your day-to-day life, I absolutely believe that.
But people in the media, specifically like Joy Reid, for example, not like Joy Reid, specifically Joy Reid, and you get out of the habit of saying like, or um.
Joy Reid, everything that she has said about Florida and DeSantis, every single portion of her statement, one paragraph statement, Is wrong.
I can't believe that she's ignorant.
I think it's a lie.
Do you think that what you're seeing from the left now, do you think it's ignorance?
Do you think it's a difference of opinion?
Or do you think they're in so deep they're just going to lie about it anyway?
I'm really curious to see your answers here because I've evolved on that.
I used to try and give them the benefit of the doubt.
Now, no benefit!
Like a right-to-work state.
Okay, we'll be talking about that.
And a new super-Covid coming your way!
JRLA, how are you?
I'm doing well, how are you?
I'm good.
I'm doing fine.
Oh, this is available by the way, at the merch shop, I forgot.
The Halloween shirts.
I mean, it's a little late for buying it for Halloween, but buy it because it's fun all year round.
Or you can use it for next Halloween.
That's exactly right.
Or you can use it to scare people all year round.
There's gonna be another Halloween.
All year round.
I meant to say long, or round, but I said all year wrong.
By the way, I got something wrong yesterday.
I don't know if I need to be admonished now or later.
Well, it's not exactly breaking news.
That's fair.
I said Yorkies instead of Corgis.
Those are totally different pooches, and I screwed that one.
Corgis were used largely to warm the foot of the royal bed.
Yorkies were made for dogfighting, and they're easier to drown in a cappuccino machine.
Really?
Little known facts.
And they lose.
There's a great bit on Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos hosting dogfighting if they were Michael Vick.
I highly recommend it.
One of the best comedians working today.
And one of the best comedians working today.
I don't want to say the best for anyone because then you'll all get mad and jealous and I'll get letters, but the fastest man on his feet.
I'm on tour with him.
We only have shows left at two.
Two dates, right?
Only tickets left for two shows.
Nashville, November 12th at the Ryman Auditorium.
We added a second show.
So that's like 2,500 seats times two.
You guys sold out the first one like that, demanded a second one.
You can get your tickets at ladderofcredit.com slash tour.
Dave Landau, how are you?
Ahoy!
Good, how about you, sir?
Oh my goodness, I can't even be seen.
Oh, what happened?
I don't know, it must be my- Why is he so dark?
It's cause I'm bezeled out, maybe?
Darkwing Dave!
Darkwing Dave.
Let's get dangerous!
Yeah.
Suck ass, evildoer!
Are we just gonna turn me off?
Is that what happened?
I think he just shut me off.
Did you just turn him off?
Fade to black.
Yep.
So what happens is the static in the studio will reset the camera, so we gotta reset it.
Well, this is a good time as any before we get to the stories that actually matter.
Dave, you're going to be at Kansas City Improv all weekend.
I am.
I'm going to be at the Kansas City Improv all weekend.
There's an overlay where they can see you.
I appreciate that.
Yes, come out to the Comedy Club.
And then, yes, of course, and thank you for the compliment, Steven.
I feel the same about you.
You can come see us out on the road in Jersey.
Jersey's sold out.
Is it?
Yeah, there's only Baltimore and the second show at Nashville.
Oh, that's right.
We only have Nashville number two.
And I think, yeah, those are moving quick.
I'm excited to do that.
The Grand Ole Opry.
We'll see what it's like.
It's now the Ryman, but it's the original Grand Ole Opry.
I'm really excited about that, actually.
I bought a ticket in the very back.
You did?
Yeah, in the very, very back.
Control room, be sure to revoke Gerald's ticket.
If he comes near the stage, I will hurt him.
If he comes near the venue.
I know.
We've told him he's not allowed.
It's weird you guys have a restraining order on me at these venues.
I filed it under domestic abuse, and by the way, we also happen to have a civil union that you signed while you were drunk.
Yes.
Oh lord.
And I want to wish a happy birthday to Snoop Dogg.
Yeah!
Buzzled out a little bit.
D-O-double-G.
You don't honor rappers while they're alive.
But if you count the products he endorses, he died a long time ago.
That's true.
Corona.
Yeah, rolling down the street.
Isn't that like Ice-T selling whatever it is, reverse mortgages?
Oh no, he's just selling General.
Car Shield.
Shield your car.
Car Shield.
Boom.
Done.
I used to jack cars.
Now, I shield them.
And Shaq doing the General.
Listen to me.
Don't beat your wife.
If you have joint pain.
Yeah.
Get your icy hot and then rub some tussin on it.
Is your elbow the size of an elephant hip?
Icy hot!
Did you run from the police and now your feet all sweaty?
And you might want to think about wool socks.
It's moisture wicking.
It wicks moisture.
GRIPNINE SOCKS!
Martha Stewart was the pillowcase that they gave me.
Alright, so we have so much to get to here today.
And you know what?
Look, it's a Thursday, it's a slow news day, but this all affects you.
Remember, everyone thought it would stop with Alex Jones.
It didn't.
Kanye West right now with George Floyd, the family, and something people don't... Do you know this?
Kanye West... Did you know that Kanye West paid for the tuition of George Floyd's daughter?
Did you know that?
No.
No good deed goes unpunished, I guess.
That's true, yes.
So here's, before we get to that, I don't know if you know this, it's very unpopular.
For us to be white.
Is it?
It's not a good thing.
Right now, it's not in.
It's not in vogue.
I'm not black.
If only we were born in the wrong time.
Well, I'm not.
It should have been like the early 18th century.
Yep.
We'd be kings.
Yeah, we'd be totally cool.
You'd be standard height.
Yeah, I know.
You'd be a giant.
Gerald would be Goliath.
Well, he'd already be dead.
Yes, he'd pick me and be like, yes, we must kill the tall one.
His height lived past 22 back then.
Right, yeah.
You're basically just being synthetically kept alive at this point.
It's all artificial.
I'd be what they called slightly above average in 1854.
You want me to box under Queensborough rules, Mr. Landau?
He's enormous!
Alright.
I'll butter your biscuits.
Yes, yes.
I'll take this stance that allows me no facial protection but guarantees a breaking of my wrist.
Let's go!
Alright.
So, here it is.
It's unpopular to be white.
Here's a guy.
This is not fully new, but I think that it deserves more attention than it's gotten.
You'll see why.
He's sitting in his backyard, and at first I thought, Mozambique?
Turns out it's not, saying that, you know, you, if you're white, like, this is just, this is the kind of racism that really is just, it's just plain, it's not reverse racism.
It's just racism racism.
The nature of a white person is evil.
You cannot run away from that fact.
And when it comes to us as eternal people... Oh, that guy better be in Zambia.
Why are we devilish now?
Not in Poughkeepsie.
We are imitating the ways and the culture of these devils.
We want to be like these devils.
We want to talk like these devils.
We want to walk like these devils.
We want to have the money that these devils have.
Okay, poor man's coolio.
I gotta be honest, I think it's the other way around.
This is just... That's a guy in Houston, I thought.
Yeah, he's in Houston, Texas, dressed that way.
Calling us White Devil in Quincy Ocha.
Wearing his mom's old sex curtain.
Yeah, he just grabbed one.
It's all leopard print.
The White Devil!
Oh, okay.
How do you usually dress?
That's not, I don't think that's, that's erroneous.
It's not, it's not erroneous.
I'm willing to bet that you're benefiting.
Hey, aren't you taping that?
Aren't you filming that on this modern technology?
A camera phone?
Yeah, you just see him go into Brooks Brothers.
You're like, you can't get whiter, man.
He's a model for J. Crew.
Omar Epps' son.
I will take your money, but I will use it to subvert the white devil's money against him.
It's jujitsu against the white devil.
Hey, imagine you just say, look, that's just racism, racism.
And I'm not saying all black people believe that, but that is everything that is wrong with society.
It's phony.
It's fraudulent.
Just like a lot of hip hop artists.
That doesn't have anything to do with your culture!
Sounds like you got a lot of land that you're complaining from.
That probably cost money.
Can we play- let me- I want to see something again.
I think I might have missed something, actually, as I saw this earlier.
Let me see it.
The nature of a white person is evil.
You cannot run away.
Oh yeah, no, that's a Hot Topic friend bracelet, Ching.
Oh it is, around the right.
Yeah it is.
He's wearing puka shells.
It's actually- it's a goth girl's, like, beaded necklace.
He's got the love bead on there, so be careful.
He's got Super Mario underwear.
All right, well, message not taken.
Ah, well, I am a little devilish.
Yes, yes we are.
Not completely wrong.
No.
So here's another example of, and this just happened, this happened 16 years ago I believe, but you know there's this myth going around, and I think it's important this will tie into what we talk about with Kanye and Joy Reid, because this really is sort of an episode About the dishonesty of media and how it's gone completely unchecked for a very long time.
And I get that a lot of you, you watching right now, you might say, hey, the Democratic Party left me or I miss the time of Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather.
Back when journalism, there never was journalism in this country.
Just so you know, everyone has always had a bias.
They just used to lie to you about it.
So case in point here, the media has always been incompetent or blatantly dishonest.
In this case, completely incompetent to a level that is hilarious.
We have irrefutable, absolute proof.
Okay.
So, I'm going to go ahead and get started.
So if you don't remember this...
16 years ago today, let me set up this clip.
The BBC, here's the thing, they interviewed a taxi driver, okay, but they actually sold him to the public as a tech expert and the taxi driver found this out live on air.
Now that you understand Marley's debt to begin with, watch it unfold in real time.
The most respected name in English news.
Well Guy Cuny is the editor of the technology website News Wireless.
Hello, good morning to you.
Good morning.
Were you surprised by this verdict today?
I'm very surprised to see this verdict to come on me because I was not expecting that.
When I came, they told me something else, and I'm coming.
You got an interview, so it's a big surprise anyway.
A big surprise.
Yeah, yeah.
With regards to the cost that's involved, do you think now more people will be downloading online?
Actually, if you can go everywhere, you're going to see a lot of people downloading to the internet and their website, everything they want.
He's a taxi driver!
He rolled with it.
His first reaction was like, technological expert.
He's like, oh shit.
they want to get on the easy way and so fast everything they're looking for
technological expert music oh shit are we going to bring up how I was robbed
yes I'm just here to take someone to the next building I was here to tell you about how I had Saudi passengers who had a pressure cooker with nails in it.
Yeah, and it shows that you can just interview anybody and say they're someone.
No, they didn't.
No, I guarantee you they screwed up.
Some intern screwed up somewhere, like walked him in like, this is the second person.
No, no, he did a very good job about the internet.
This is the one with email, correct?
Yes, yes, yes.
Very happy to be here talking about Netscape Navigator.
Sometimes I ask Jeeves.
Yeah.
Meanwhile, there's the guy waiting in the office, just getting yelled at.
I don't have a taxi, why do you keep asking me to drive you somewhere?
Tim Cook being escorted by security.
Yeah, they're just like, could you just be a little more patient, please?
Sir, we'll get to you.
But he's on TV now!
Here's the point, if nothing else, just don't... When people blame you for not trusting institutions, we get blamed all the time.
Oh, you don't trust the institution.
You don't trust the electoral process.
Oh, you don't trust the media.
Oh, you don't trust your elected representatives.
Whose fault is it?
This has been going on... Look, this happened to me one time when I was on Fox News.
And they told me that I was going to be... I think I was going to be talking about something that was domestic.
And then they asked me about the North Korean conflict.
I was like... Whatever.
And they just said, like, yeah, our expert dropped out.
Can you show up?
I'm like, yeah, but I'm not an expert, though.
And then I realized I was just as much of an expert.
That guy, honestly, is passable as a tech expert.
I can't tell the difference.
No, I would have known.
I mean, he was right.
Yeah.
His assessment was spot on.
He's going, yes, people will be downloading more stuff and using the Internet more.
They will.
Yep.
I don't think you really download websites, but- But yeah, I mean- You're just naming internet words like, uh, website, you can download, sometimes the H-O, the T-T, so I include the P. The porn is free!
Mouse, double click, yellow cab.
Yeah.
It's a good day.
I'm very surprised.
Fascinating.
Thank you very much.
We have to have you back.
Please, let's put him in our guest Rolodex and bring you all the news that's fit to print.
I have an Apple logo right behind me.
I should have brought up the kid from Blank Check.
Oh yeah, that's a real con, man.
By the way, in other news, speaking of British, the Prime Minister, Liz Truss, after 40-something days resigned, Okay, so it's a live show, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.
Eastern.
If you're on YouTube, I would love for you to switch over to Rumble, or of course, Mug Club will be taking its chat Thursday.
Yeah.
10 a.m.
Eastern, Monday through Thursday, because notifications don't work.
That's why we ask that you hit like, share, comment, all that for the algorithm.
Otherwise, just head on over to Rumble and Mug Club.
I would love to not have to worry about YouTube anymore.
Oh, please.
All right.
Speaking of things you're not allowed to discuss, superbugs.
Oh?
So you know how, generally speaking, the best way to learn for the future is to learn from your past mistakes and correct them?
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
And everyone here knows about the, you know, COVID and the lab?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I just need to make sure we accept that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe.
Possibly.
Just based on the way the show is going, I wasn't sure if we were all on the same page.
The researchers at Boston University did the opposite of that and they developed a new strain of COVID in a lab.
Why would researchers intentionally do this?
You know, there's something about Omicron that it was less virulent, but more transmissible.
We all knew this by this point, and we have multiple studies that show it's less virulent.
So they wanted to see if it was the spike protein mutations that made it less virulent.
By sticking the spike protein of COVID-19 Omicron onto the ancestral strain and then they found that whatever the ancestral strain had over here beyond the spike protein that was what was leading to virulence because this is a very deadly strain and it's very transmissible both.
It has all the worst things going for it in terms of causing disease so I have to say I'm a little bit worried that this is created and I think, point proven, let's destroy this now.
Are they just method acting as the mayor from every natural disaster film ever?
Yeah.
Yes.
I'm very worried that we've created this.
Holy crap, we need to destroy it now.
Yeah.
Let's do it again!
I think we'll get it right next time.
Hey, they can't all be gems.
Let's see what this new extra deadly strain does.
Hey, you guys want to cure it?
No, I got an idea.
Let's make a worse version of it.
Oh yeah, I like that.
Let's make more of it.
Do you remember how the first one of these that was more deadly spread around the entire globe like really quickly?
From a wet market.
Let's make it spread faster than that.
Not from a lab, from a wet market.
From a wet market.
From a wet laboratory market.
Where they were slaughtering animals without using proper hygiene.
Yeah, speaking of which, I'm gonna go get some bat sandwiches.
Anybody up for lunch?
Yeah!
Well, I want grilled.
I don't like to eat fried food in the day.
It makes me feel sluggish.
No, yeah, it does.
It's fine.
Braised is fine.
Broiled.
That's what I was looking for.
Make mine broiled.
I want it flavorless and gray.
So here's the thing.
The story was run by Daily Mail.
Not to be clear, they claim that the news train has an 80% kill rate in a lab.
That's different from what happens in the general population.
The original strain of COVID had a 100% kill rate on the mice, just to be clear.
So it's not necessarily more deadly, but you heard her say that it could be pretty deadly, more deadly than Omicron, more virulent, but we don't have a ton of information on this.
Here's the deal, okay?
And you can comment below, I'm very curious to hear where you line up.
I'm not afraid to stick my neck out on these and say that I think creating new deadly viruses in a laboratory is generally bad.
I'm anti that.
Yeah.
So it doesn't really seem, though, like these people, when you think about it, what we've been through the last two years, it just doesn't seem like they've been even trying to learn their lesson.
I think you've just been cancelled, Stephen.
Genetic power is the greatest force on the planet, and you wield it around like a kid who just has found his dad's gun.
Your scientists were so preoccupied with the question on if they could, they never stopped to ask if they should.
If evolutionary history has taught us anything, it's, well, you know, life will not be contained.
It's, uh, it's... That's it, simply.
Life, uh, finds a way.
Okay, thank you Dr. Malcolm.
I don't even know why we have a couch in the studio.
Yeah, it's weird.
It was just brought in today.
Yeah.
I didn't see him come in.
No, I didn't see him come in either.
We really should have, you know, like a lock.
That'd be helpful.
Sorry.
By the way, we also found that this disease in the lab was created by Dr. Super, an even more lethal version of Dr. Fauci.
So it seems like it's following a trend of...
**laughter** **laughter**
**laughter** Frankie Moon is in the background
like, good Shiloh!
I hear that guy kills like 63 bagels a minute.
No, no, no.
Try 75, Dave.
Actually, no, the new one, the new super one, it's a thousand.
It's a veritable Posh Fitz.
It's Warpaw.
We could easily do a 7 plus 1 on dog concentration camps.
I think I'm gonna get that tattooed on my back.
Hawk Owl.
They release the Zyklon Beagle.
Hit the like button if you're okay with how dark that got.
Oh, please hit the like button.
I just am amazed at, like, this is, again, the media.
You think they're experts.
You think that people who work in laboratories, the scientists, you think they're experts.
Trust the science.
Don't mistrust your institutions, like media.
This is a very broad umbrella, media, science.
You see what they do.
Why do we act as though they are beyond making mistakes like the rest of us when they're financially incentivized to do so?
You know, you've bitched about clickbait.
We all understand that clickbait, where people will If you don't know what that is, it's where people put in a title that's not very accurate.
You click it, and now they've had your click.
They've generated an ad dollar that's completely inaccurate.
Well, what do you think happens when you encourage more and more, faster and more, so that you get another grant, that you get the public attention?
Only with science.
It's clickbait science, and all the beagles die.
Save the beagles.
True.
Air Bud 19.
Actually, no, it'd kill the beagles.
Never mind.
Yeah, weird science.
If it keeps us from having another Air Bud, I'm fine with it.
What?
Just inject him with air.
You don't want to have a kicker that's a dog?
No, because the rulebook doesn't say anything about dogs.
What about a golden receiver?
Yes.
Come on.
I like that one.
Can I have a gun, please?
Air Bud 24.
He's a Pfizer intern.
He's just shaking in gray.
They've never replaced Air Bud.
He can't catch anything.
Except a super virus.
Now, Kanye, or Yeezy, or Yay, as he likes to be called, Is it Diddy?
Are we down to Diddy?
It was Puff Daddy, then it was Daddy, then it was P. Diddy.
Are we down to Diddy?
It became Diddy, and then I think it became Diddy-O.
Did it?
No.
Uh-oh, Diddy-O.
But I did think it became something else.
I could be wrong, though.
Stop changing your names, guys.
Sean Combs.
Sean Puffy Combs.
That's a terrible name.
In Monsters Ball, he was Sean Combs.
Yes.
And that was the only time.
Yes, yes.
Also, I don't think there's anything that destroys your street cred more than doing proactive commercials with Vanessa Williams.
Oh, yeah, that destroys everything.
Your city's like, your boy Diddy told you, proactive.
You got zits.
50 Cent was shot in the face nine times, and I was like, I got a blackhead, motherfucker.
Man.
You know that's why Nelly wore that Band-Aid, right?
I guarantee you it was a zit that he couldn't cover up.
And he's like, I'm gonna make this my thing.
I always wear a Band-Aid.
It'd be smart.
Pockmark.
You don't want people to see that.
Right.
You gotta look tough.
Cause it's all in your head!
Nothing looks tougher than a band-aid.
It's a long game.
He's got Mickey Mouse school buses on him.
Flintstones.
He does a remix.
I am stuck on Band-Aids.
Ha!
Cause germs don't stick on me.
Ha!
Fine.
And so he's going, Ha!
It's like a little blowhole.
His next one is, I'm easy Jesus.
Just like a piece of tape.
I know.
They were a good band.
Did he wear a big one too?
Like a really, really big one?
Yeah, that's when he had a sebaceous cyst.
I also understand why he wore that gear.
I could never understand the Eminem wearing the do-rag with the hat on top.
Well, you know, it's good in arid regions.
Yeah, I guess.
I don't know.
Sure.
Like that guy in Houston who wanted us to think that he was from the Congo.
I hope he got ate alive by mosquitoes.
Yes.
They're everywhere in Houston.
All right.
Well, don't joke about that.
They have malaria in Houston.
Yes, and cheetahs.
So Kanye Yeezy, yay.
Okay.
He's being sued for $250 million.
Okay.
He's also been issued a cease and desist letter.
Now, here's why.
From the family of George Floyd.
This is why he is being sued.
And this is important.
It does affect you.
It's easy to say, oh, this person's a celebrity.
It's easy to say, oh, he put out some anti-Semitic tweets.
Or, oh, he's bipolar.
Whatever issue it is that you have with Kanye West.
But when you understand why he's actually being hit with this fine.
Why he actually might face legal ramifications.
And what actually happened with Alex Jones.
I recommend you go and watch our episode with him.
It is having, right now, the effect that they wanted it to have.
And we'll show you their exact words.
But these are the statements that got Yeezy in hot water.
The family of George Floyd is preparing to file a $250 million lawsuit against Kanye West.
It comes after the rapper, who now legally goes by the name Ye, said in a podcast that Floyd died from a fentanyl overdose and not from suffocation after having a police officer's knee on his neck for more than nine minutes.
Okay, so that's them telling it.
I think we have a clip from what Ye, I keep wanting to say Ye, actually said.
Here you go.
I watched the George Floyd documentary that Candace Owens put up.
One of the things that his two roommates said was, they want a tall guy like me.
They want a tall guy like me.
Hit him with the fentanyl.
If you look, the guy's knee wasn't even on his neck like that.
When he said, mama, mama is his girlfriend.
They said he screamed for his mama.
Mama was his girlfriend.
It's in the documentary.
The free George Floyd zone that they made, the murder rate is up 50% since George Floyd.
It's mayhem.
It's Mad Max.
Okay, so the suit claims that his comments are detrimental, quote, to George Floyd's daughter and as the sole beneficiary of his estate.
That's why they're claiming these damages.
This is after, again, all references available at LettersCredit.com, Kanye paid $2 million towards George Floyd's family for his daughter's tuition.
So again, this does matter.
You may not like what he said, you may not like how he said it, but this tells you where the guy's spirit is.
Even though he disagrees with the media narrative, $2 million to the daughter at that point because his heart went out to her.
When do we get to the point where we start judging people based on their actions more than their words?
We can't, because we have to judge them on skin color, we have to judge them on gender, we have to judge them on political affiliation.
You have to judge them based on not only their own gender but where they line up on the other countless slash 52 slash it just changed to 74 genders.
Two million dollars to the family and by the way everything that he just said is accurate.
Yeah, but everybody's going to try and silence him and not, you know, we didn't even know, you and I both didn't know that he had contributed any money to the family.
I'd forgotten it, yeah.
And so it was money towards the family and towards her education.
If she spends $2 million on a college education, I'm not exactly sure where she's going, right?
But no, he's supporting people when they're in need and then they're turning around and suing him for $250 million.
I don't understand where the damage has come from.
I don't know. Okay, so they're saying and they're trying to be very opaque about it. They're trying
to say that it's causing damages because this was settled in court. He wasn't killed by the drugs.
It was Chauvin and it's settled. And something interesting is that if Kanye goes in there,
it goes into the paint here. Yeah. Guess what? That might actually force an acquittal for Chauvin
if he now goes through a lawsuit and can prove that no, wait a second,
there were other reasons that contributed to his death.
There are a lot of dynamics at play.
This is to silence someone with a platform.
You have a big enough platform, they will try and silence you.
It's not about the kind of platform that you have right now.
It's do you, A, either want to be able to have a platform, any platform, and B, do you understand that it's necessary for people on your side to have platforms?
Let's go through George Floyd's autopsy report at the time of death, and we've done this a lot.
We went through this topic ad nauseum as it was taking place, but okay.
There were no life-threatening injuries that were identified, okay?
There was no physical trauma to the neck.
He had COVID.
He had hypertensive heart disease.
He had arthrosclerosis.
I can never say it.
You know, the heart veins.
Arteriosclerotic heart disease.
Yeah.
Arthrosclerosis.
I can never say it.
Can you say it?
Don't make me look.
Can you say it?
Arteriosclerotic.
No, that's not what it is.
That's arteriosclerotic heart disease.
I'm trying to say the word that people know in their head, but I can't say it.
We all know I can't say it.
Arthritic.
Asterotic.
Why are you here?
And by the way, the meth... Arterioscratic.
R. Kelly, heart disease.
Yes.
All right.
Archibunker.
So, the meth levels in a system were 19 nanograms per milliliter, okay?
And there were various forms of fentanyl.
It was a cornucopia of fentanyl, totaling around 16.6 nanograms per milliliter.
Wow.
Again, all the references are available at lightheartscratter.com.
Hit the like button if you want to help the algorithm here, because a lot of people still don't know this information.
The lethal amount of fentanyl, particularly in combination with other drugs, so they have a threshold, right?
Lethal amount of fentanyl.
And then, of course, that threshold changes if it's in combination with other drugs.
You ever taken medication at home that says, do not combine with other medications?
Do not combine with alcohol?
It's very common.
We all know it.
They didn't talk about this in the media.
So, the lethal dose, or I think it's the mean dose of lethality for fentanyl in combination with other drugs, is only 7 nanograms per milliliter.
Again, he was at 16.6 and 19 nanograms of meth.
Which we know, by the way, meth, of course, is one of the worst drugs to combine with any of the drugs.
By itself, it's a wonderful solo artist.
I highly recommend it.
Only if you don't want to have teeth.
Or you don't want to sleep for nine days.
Just don't take it unless you want your apartment to be pristine.
And live forever.
I was really interested in this.
I thought once the tempers kind of flared down a little bit on this we could go back and review the actual evidence of this case right and see like the information like this if you look at this in a vacuum and you don't have the social outcry that was going on during this trial and during that time you're like wow this guy left to his own devices in that car probably dies within hours right at the very least and even the coroner we'll talk about in a minute the coroner even said like yeah if you found him at his home absent any other trauma you're like That's one hell of a drug overdose.
Well, you know what?
Let's run... Guys, I know we have that clip from our show.
We'll run that last, but here.
Don't take my word for it.
Here's a video presented during the Chauvin trial of George Floyd.
In other words, to hear George Floyd say... And again, this is a tragedy.
Of course, you don't... You never want to see someone die, whether they're in custody or at their house.
It's a life lost.
But he said, I took too much drugs.
Did you hear that?
Yes, I did.
Did it appear that Mr. Floyd said, I ate too many drugs?
Yes it did.
Now, does that mean that's the- That'd mean they spelled two.
Right.
Does that mean that's the only relevant- no, but it is relevant!
Very relevant.
And we've gone from- Alex Jones, right?
Well, don't say that the parents are crisis actors and harass them.
Which never actually... He never told people to harass him.
He did say that he thought it was a hoax at one point.
That was his opinion.
But people would say, that's an extreme... If he just didn't do that, he wouldn't be sued and he wouldn't have lost.
Well, hold on a second.
Regardless of where you line up, Kanye repeated what George Floyd himself said and the autopsy report reveals.
That's worthy of a lawsuit?
Do you start seeing the picture?
Here?
And just in case you've forgotten, remember the prosecutor from the Alex Jones trial said that this was not only to hurt Alex Jones, but to remove his platform and to act as a deterrent to anyone else speaking out.
That was the goal of it.
I ask that with your verdict, you not only Take Alex Jones' platform that he talks about away.
I ask that you make certain he can't rebuild the platform.
That's what matters.
Take him out of this discourse, of this misinformation, of this peddling of lies, and make sure he can't do it again.
That is punishment.
That is deterrence.
So I ask of you to take the bullhorn away from Alex Jones and take the first steps towards taking that bullhorn away from all the others who have it.
Or all the others who might want it.
All the others who believe they can profit off of fear and misinformation.
Make them understand that they too will sit their ass in that chair right there and have to actually respond in a court of law for what they do if they choose to do the same thing that Alex Jones did.
A couple of things.
They weren't able to prove that Alex Jones profited off it.
They just meant that his show was profitable.
And at some point he mentioned Sandy Hook.
Out of the years and three hours a day of footage, they could only find 25 minutes.
And honestly, it wasn't nearly as damning as you would think.
But let me ask you this.
It's about the profit, right?
That was the argument.
It's because what Alex Jones said was so crazy.
Alright.
What Kanye has said now is not that crazy.
Whether you disagree or not, it's certainly factual.
When he said there were drugs in his system, that George Floyd said he had consumed too high of a dose of drugs.
When the autopsy report reveals that the blood levels are higher than the lethal dose required.
Okay, let's ask another question.
How is Kanye profiting off of it?
How is Kanye profiting off of it?
You could maybe argue if he has a single called, George Floyd didn't die, ha!
Right?
But how does he profit?
It's not about the fact that Alex Jones is profiting off of it, which they didn't prove.
It's not about the fact that what he said was so radical.
It is, as he said, removing the bullhorn from anyone else.
Hey!
Who's next?
Because I don't believe.
Personally.
That George Floyd died because of the knee on his neck.
I think it was bad practice from the police.
I think they were trained improperly because that was a practice that was taught to the police department.
But I will say that that 100%, okay, irrefutably, just a knee on the neck from a 165-pound man would not kill someone in that amount of time.
Why?
Well, I don't know.
Is this worthy of a lawsuit?
I did it.
For people watching, I'm not saying this is pleasant.
I'm asking, would this kill someone?
Somebody can do just fine in this position.
It's uncomfortable, but it's not going to kill them, right?
It sucks, obviously.
I will actually go further than that.
I do grappling, and my father, who's a brown belt, it's far more uncomfortable for me to be under side control.
I would not be able to maintain that for nine minutes.
And by the way, I have been talking this whole time, and in case people wonder, I talk really fast, and I have a heart condition.
It's a chest condition where my bone goes into my heart.
I have to get surgery in July.
The point is... Sounds like Alf.
The point is that this is probably more difficult for me than it is for a lot of you out there watching, but I also don't have four times the lethal dose of fentanyl in my system.
And again, I'm just laying down because this is more comfortable.
Okay, I didn't hear Seek.
I couldn't hear you back then.
I didn't realize that you said I sounded like Alf.
Well, you did.
Oh, I guess I shouldn't have taken that speedball.
Laced with fentanyl.
I should stay away from meth and stick with consuming cats.
Hanging out with the dad on his show.
He just loves crack.
Oh yeah.
He'd be a fan.
Oh yeah, big time.
He'd be like, yes, let's do those drugs.
The guy, I want to replace one of the words that he said.
He's like, I'm going to say exactly what he said.
I want them to have to sit their ass in that chair and answer for free speech.
Yep.
That's exactly what he wants.
He wants to put free speech on trial.
By the way, Alex Jones wasn't the first person to talk about that.
Alex Jones wasn't calling for people to go after him.
Kanye certainly is not the first person to say that George Floyd would have died from those drugs and that no, the knee wasn't on the neck like that.
He's certainly not the first individual.
The only reason I know that is because we watched the trial.
That was the defense.
Right.
That was what evidence was presented to prove.
How in the world can you go after somebody For merely expressing an opinion that's already out there.
And it has been since it came.
That's by design.
It's not by accident.
A billion dollars in advertisement is a lot for that particular topic.
I don't understand how people think that this is a great way to go.
He's definitely going after free speech.
Alex Jones, as much as you may hate what he said, had a right to say it.
And Kanye certainly has a right to say it.
He absolutely has a right to say it, and everything that he has said is factually correct.
You may not like the tone of it, keep in mind this is a guy who gave two million dollars to the daughter of George Floyd.
What have you virtue-signaling white knights on TikTok done?
Actions should matter.
Remember when we judged people by their actions?
They're like what we've virtue-signaled?
Yes, we did.
We said that Kanye is bad.
Yes.
What are you going to do to solve the problem?
Well, I'm going to talk about it.
We're actually going to hold a meeting there, right next to the Cup of Foods.
I couldn't burn his physical album, so I just smashed my phone.
Yes, but are you actually going to raise money and do any- what?
No.
Like I said, we've talked about it, so it's good, right?
Yes, I'll get another one from Apple made by a young, young, young, young boy.
Yes, exactly.
Preferably of oriental origin.
Hey, by the way, I ignore that.
One silver lining, this is the first person to ever die with COVID that was not listed as a COVID death.
That's true.
That's true.
He did have the COVID.
George Floyd.
Yeah.
If I say that, am I going to be sued?
No, I mean, he did.
Hey, by the way, I'm fine with it.
Well, look, if the guy in Michigan that shot himself that had COVID can be counted as a COVID death, I think it was in Michigan.
You don't think a 12-gauge through the forehead would actually be contributing to... Well, you know what?
That's the problem.
It was a contributing factor.
He can stare facts right in the face and just ignore them.
It must be nice to go through life blissfully unaware.
Pre-existing condition.
It didn't matter.
You think that it was the Mossberg at his temple and not the slight cough, you insensitive prick?
That's my fault, guys.
I have some growing to do.
Oh, by the way, before I move on here to Joy Reid and everything that she said is wrong,
this is a wonderful sponsor of the show.
You've heard me talk about Exclear, the nasal spray, spry gum.
You can get this at most pharmacies or Amazon.
A lot of people don't know about this.
I actually think Dr. Rhonda Patrick was on Joe Rogan talking about chewing Xylitol gum.
So Xylitol, actually, there's a litany of benefits that you can go read up, I think,
on the website regarding your mouth and regarding sort of the...
What's the equivalent to a microbiome in your mouth?
The film of bacteria.
That's basically what this does.
You can chew it between brushings.
I have not had a cavity in my adult life.
Really?
Yeah.
I have one tiny small thing because I didn't have my wisdom tooth removed and it's back in my gum.
And they said, yeah, you're probably gonna have to have that removed because that's gonna grow.
It's never grown.
I mean, we know how bad Dave's mouth is.
Can it clean his mouth?
My mouth is squeaky clean.
I've never had a cavity.
Never had a cavity.
Really?
That's good.
Got my wisdom teeth out the day of the biggest blackout in the history of Michigan.
It was when they shut out part of Canada and Detroit.
I remember that.
I was in Ohio.
Well, you know, like nowadays, so when I was a kid, I used to try and be rebellious.
I'm not going to brush my teeth.
You know, my parents said, you have to.
But I just realized I could have just said, I'm going to take puberty blockers, and they wouldn't be able to do anything.
I know.
They would have been like, yeah, you don't need teeth.
Yeah, you don't need teeth.
Yeah, you be you.
I identify as a platypus.
I identify as British.
I identify as common street trash.
Yes.
So go to xclear.com, or you can just go buy it at any drugstore or pharmacy.
I mean, it actually has, like, oral cancer, right?
Diabetes, Alzheimer's, there are a bunch of benefits to it.
And you can have COVID in your mouth, just so you know.
Go look it up.
Okay.
Let's get to Joy Reid.
Oh yeah, the bitch!
There it is.
No, I don't want to say that she lies about everything.
She lies about some things, but she's at the very least wrong about everything.
So yesterday she went on a tirade, and by the way, when they start attacking people that means those are the people they're afraid of.
So you see it with Kanye West, and you see it of course with Ron DeSantis, and of course you've seen it with Donald Trump.
She went on a tirade against Ron DeSantis, and she tried to say that Florida is the best example to use as a modern Jim Crow state.
Now, first, let me preface this.
My bias here is, if that's a Jim Crow state, then sign me up!
But here she is making her stupid case.
It's a worm.
Begin tonight with Florida, which I would argue, even with Texas existing, has emerged
as the modern state in this country that comes the closest to a modern day version of Jim
Crow.
Is that a jab at Texas?
If there is a state that better exemplifies the rot of MAGA Republican rule than the state
of Florida that the governor has named in very Orwellian fashion the free state of Florida,
I honestly don't know where it is.
I don't know what it is.
I mean, Florida has it all.
A law banning gay people from declaring their existence at school.
Teachers can actually get fired for it.
A law against anti-racist policies at work, like you have to let the racism be in the workplace or else.
Okay, so there's so much there.
requirements for patriotic Christian education propaganda in public schools.
And of course, a concerted effort to make it as hard as possible for anyone who
might vote for the out of power party, the Democrats, hashtag black people to vote
or to have representative districts.
Florida's Jim Crow Redux governor, Ron DeSantis, even has his own office of election crimes.
OK, so there's so much there.
Let's break down some of the claims and lies from Joy Reed, Gary Oldman,
from the Fifth Element and see what it is that we Who wore it better?
Oh, do you have to ask?
My boy Gary.
Gary rocked it.
At first I was thinking she looked like the Halle Berry in the Flintstones, but then I realized Halle Berry was far too attractive.
Too complimentary, yeah.
Halle Berry's beauty blinded me to what a crap hole that film was.
Yeah, you just watch her the whole movie.
And how bad an actress she is.
Stop it.
Don't you dare.
She's not good.
The lady has an Oscar.
Excuse me, maybe you've not seen her breasts in Swordfish.
So does Randy Newman, sorry.
Or Monsters Ball.
Yeah.
Or pretty much every film.
Yeah.
Or I don't remember anything else about those movies.
No, neither do I. But I do remember the breasts.
I do remember the breasts.
I have made my point.
I also remember the breasts in Catwoman even though she didn't show them because when I was watching the film I was just picturing her breasts.
That's right.
That was one that she was a quality actor.
The whole time I was like, get in the suit.
Ooh, remember Gothika?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, that too was awful, but her breasts, not bad.
Yeah, terrible film.
What do we do with this terrible film?
I don't know, call Halle Berry.
I know, we need breasts.
They just walk up to her like, hey, Mrs. Berry, you know, we've been doing some reshoots here, and this film doesn't seem like it's very good.
Do you think you could show your breasts one step ahead of you?
She's just ready.
Yeah, she's like, I...
Say no more.
Extra 200 grand each.
Yes.
She's like, shhh.
These are insured.
It's key tit insurance.
Oh boy.
So let's go through every single statement there.
Every single statement is factually incorrect.
And I don't know how that happens by accident.
I've got to believe that she is proactively lying at this point.
But I do like the fact that she fit in hashtag black people.
I know that.
Like they all vote for Democrats.
Doesn't let hashtag black people vote.
I'm like, that's a weird thing.
It's like the soccer mom trying to be hip in the van.
Like, hey kids, did you have a good hashtag soccer practice?
They're like, shut up mom.
Because they're spoiled and they throw a shoe at her.
They just jerk the wheel into oncoming traffic.
They're just being strung behind the van afterwards like just married cans.
The point is, she's insufferable.
So let's go through all of it.
Here's one claim that she made.
Of course, that the teachers in Florida can't be gay and they'll be fired for their existence.
Let's just play the clip.
I mean, Florida has it all.
A law banning gay people from declaring their existence at school.
Teachers can actually get fired for it.
Nope.
Nope.
And no.
So, the Don't Say Gay Bill, which is maybe how you know it if you're a stupid person, it never actually mentions the word gay.
Here's the actual text of the bill.
Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade three or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.
So, to oppose that, you must You must be maintaining the position.
Your position is that it is appropriate for kindergarten through the third grade to teach them about sexual orientation and hypersexualized issues.
That's the only way you can actually oppose this bill.
It doesn't say that you can't be a teacher if you happen to be gay.
Your students just don't need to know who you're plowing that day.
Exactly.
It doesn't even say that you can't tell your co-workers about your spouse being gay as well, right?
So it doesn't say any of that stuff.
It just says that a five-year-old doesn't need to know that.
Right.
Although it doesn't need to know your first name either.
That's true.
You're a teacher.
Mr. or Mrs. or I don't know.
There's other things now.
Is it Z?
Yeah, Z. I don't know where you start with that.
You don't give Z an apple.
You just give him a nice oblong pair.
Can you be like, call me Dave and sit on a chair like A.C.
Slater so they're like, this guy's cool as hell.
That's the kind of teacher I would be.
Yeah, exactly.
And then you can have a side hustle selling drugs.
Yeah, or like the Substitute.
We all know where to get some nice speedballs.
Here's another claim that she makes right there about Florida banning anti-racist laws.
Just listen to her.
Incorrect!
Here's the truth.
DeSantis signed the STOP WOKE Act, HB 7, so W-O-K-E, you know, it's an acronym, into law in April, I believe, of 2022.
Here's what the law actually does.
Makes it illegal for employers, including schools, by the way, to require training or promote ideas such as an individual's moral character or status as either privileged or oppressed based on race, color, sex, or national origin.
So basically talking about the fact that you are not allowed to teach people that they are inherently discriminated against because of, insert whichever identity politics here.
They wanted to make it merit-based.
Right.
Or privileged.
Yep.
Either way.
Or educated?
Yeah.
By the way, it also makes it illegal, this bill, to discriminate against any individual or group to achieve, what?
Diversity, equity, or inclusivity.
I've talked about this in the past.
Do you believe in equality?
Then you can't believe in equity.
Do you believe in equal outcome?
Then you can't believe in equality.
It's either equality of opportunity or equity, meaning ensured equal outcomes, which by its very definition has to be racist.
We're going to do a Change My Mind on this.
You know, there aren't a lot of women in the military.
I think it's now enlisted forces have gone up to 13%.
But here's what's fascinating about the military.
About half would be minorities, Hispanic, black, in enlisted services, because it really is a meritocracy.
It's about can you meet the requirements?
That is one of the great ironies here.
When you make something merit-based, you tend to actually see more diversity.
So the bill just says you can't actually teach people that there's inherent racism without evidence, and it's illegal to discriminate against anyone based on race, class, sexual orientation, in order to try and artificially ensure equity.
It is an anti-racist bill.
Joy reads a racist.
And she is, exactly right.
She is promoting racism, but only if it's directed at one group of people.
This sounds exactly like what was happening in slavery.
Like, you could be racist just against black people in slavery, right?
That was the thing.
Now it's like, no, no, no, no, no.
We've just replaced that with white people.
You can discriminate against white people to make sure that everybody else has an opportunity.
Well, let's go one step further.
It's not, oh, you must be a white victim.
No, no.
Okay.
What about Asians?
So here's an example.
A law like this in Florida is very necessary so they don't have the kinds of problems that you have at Brown or at Harvard where they were refusing to enroll Asians in universities in order to achieve diversity, meaning Asians with better scores, meaning Asian students who are better qualified.
They were being rejected.
Why?
To ensure equity of outcome in university.
So, you don't need to talk about the white thing.
You can talk about anyone who isn't the cause du jour.
And by the way, remember, stop Asian hate.
Sorry Asians, the Democrats have no use for you anymore.
Hey, black Americans, maybe as we go into midterms, trans are more useful at that point, and they might silence black female voices, namely black women who compete in sports, for example, the track athletes in Connecticut.
It can't be consistent, and so it has to self-destruct, but only, only if the information Can be delivered to you directly, and that's why they don't want the Alex Jones out there.
That's why they don't want this show.
That's why they don't want people like Kanye or anyone even expressing opinions.
You know what?
Let's not use them as examples.
How about the sitting president of the United States, Donald Trump, being removed from all of social media?
That should tell you where they line up.
If that isn't just something that is terrifying to you, that a sitting president while the Ayatollah still has a profile, I know it's repetitive, this is remedial at this point, but it's a big deal!
Well, it should be repetitive when nothing's changed.
I know.
I mean, it's been three years of nonsense.
Well, people are not just now accepting of that.
They're promoting that.
Well, and here's a good example, too.
They will say, oh, yeah, you bitch.
This is a constant argument, right?
You bitch about cancel culture while you're selling books.
Yeah, Kanye's really hurting for money.
Often they succeed in spite of that.
Let me give you an example.
Carrie Lake, very likely to be the next governor of Arizona, okay?
Carrie Lake was on this show and she was questioning some issues regarding a primary she won.
Now, if she just wanted to win, right, if she was just looking to achieve political power, She would have kept her mouth shut.
It was something she won, and she said, I want to know exactly how I won, I want to know by how many votes, and I want to make sure that my constituents, the voters, can trust this election.
That was removed here from YouTube.
So if Kelly Lake is governor of Arizona, it's in spite of the fact that millions of plays were stripped.
Probably tens of millions if you add up all of the other platforms.
All the other pieces of content that were removed.
So, she's not doing well because she's a white woman.
She's doing well in spite of the fact that you are trying to silence her.
Don't just look at the end result.
That's the problem with identity politics.
You say, oh, you must be so oppressed.
You're a white man.
You're doing okay.
Do you think it's because he's a white man?
Do you think Kanye's doing all right because he's a man?
By the way, I love how we've eliminated black at that point.
You're completely allowed to destroy a black American if they just happen to be conservative.
Like Larry Elder, where you can throw bananas at him while wearing a gorilla mask.
I just still, my brain partially explodes when I say that out loud.
It happened, it's on camera.
Nothing?
Oh yeah, that was insane.
Not a hate crime?
That was really insane, yeah.
I don't even believe in hate crimes, but I'm like, that's getting pretty close.
Well, he's the black face of white supremacy, Steven.
We now have that.
You can hit the like button.
Pretty sure that was a hate crime, I don't know.
I'm pretty sure it's there.
You can hit the like button.
Helps with the algorithm because, you know, hey, that stuff gets removed.
Go and watch the Kelly Lake episode that's been removed here from YouTube.
You can watch it on MugClub.
Here's another claim that Joy Reid slash Gary Oldman from Fifth Element made.
But there are book bans, right?
Book bans and requirements to ban more books in Florida, and that they require you actually instead use patriotic Christian education propaganda in public schools.
Hear her say it.
Book bans and requirements for patriotic Christian education propaganda in public schools.
Okay, yeah.
Again, these are short phrases because she went through a whole paragraph.
It was like a cipher of bullshit.
Well, she narrowed it down for us.
It made the clips easier to put together.
So, that is incorrect.
Here's the truth.
The books in question that are not allowed in the education curriculum in Florida all feature Incredibly sexually explicit content, uh, by the way, things like, you know, masturbating until climax, things like underage gay sex, things like sexual assault, again, which- Stephen King novels?
Yes, exactly!
It.
Yeah, it, where she's like, oh my gosh, I think your powers are fading!
You must all- quick!
The only answer is to run a train on me!
Well, how do you know that?
Call it a hunch!
Turns out there was no clown.
People don't realize that if you've only seen the film.
Here are the top five books that, by the way, are banned in Florida.
And by banned, they mean not age-appropriate to teach to children.
Genderqueer Memoir, All Boys Aren't Blue, Lawn Boy, Out of Darkness, The Bluest Eye, I thought it would be The Brownest Eye.
You can see all of these at loudearthcrowder.com for the references.
All have incredibly sexually explicit content.
We've also banned Pool Boy.
Yes.
The Bluest Ball is also on that list.
And here's the thing, this is not banning books from the public square and saying, well, this probably shouldn't be taught to kids.
Let's contrast that with examples of books that the left has actively tried to ban, like To Kill a Mockingbird.
By the way, if the anti-racist book, if the book that says, hey, hold on a second, we need to acknowledge that we have these prejudices, and it's wrong, and that just because a man is black does not mean that he forfeits his rights, what are you saying, he needed a white lawyer?
Probably back then, yeah!
It helps.
Wasn't Harper Lee a woman?
I was still thinking about Emmett Till.
What?
Sorry, wasn't Harper Lee a woman?
Who wrote To Kill a Mockingbird?
Yeah.
And they had to make her name sound like a man's just to get it published?
Then you have Boo Radley and the- I just- the point is, it was an anti-racist book!
And now they're saying anti-racist books are racist!
Yeah, well it was anti-racist written by a woman who probably couldn't have had it published if she didn't have a male-sounding name at the time.
So they want to get rid of To Kill a Mockingbird, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Hey, here's the thing.
You may not like that the N-word is said in that book.
Did you notice that a friendship grows between a white kid and a black kid despite racial discrimination at that point in time?
Not to mention Dr. Seuss books, because they're racist and whatever it is, insert here.
So we have, on one side, not the banning of books, but saying you shouldn't teach this to children.
I don't want my son reading a book where a guy talks about masturbating in a broom closet.
Alright, that one's fair.
Versus you guys saying, to kill a mockingbird isn't anti-racist enough, and even though it's a huge part of American history, and it's a fantastically written piece of fiction, we're gonna ban that.
Just, where do you line up?
One is actual censorship, and one is about age pre- I don't have a pre- It's the difference between a rating system with films, versus just banning all films.
It's the difference between saying, like, a Christian evangelical said, well, we just don't think South Park should be on, you know, early because it's not age-appropriate.
Which, by the way, Stone and Parker said, yeah, we agree, versus banning episodes because it features Muhammad, which Comedy Central did with South Park.
Very, very different.
A rating system versus all-out censorship.
Here's another bit of truth.
When she says, you know, they want to push Christian propaganda instead.
Florida's civics literacy Excellent initiative is what it's called.
It's not Christian propaganda, just to be clear.
It's an initiative that focuses on including at least some patriotic form of education, meaning that you can't only espouse revisionist history.
For example, like at Berkeley.
If you go and watch that video where they taught their students that we created slavery, that we kidnapped people from the old world and turned them into slaves in the new world, ignoring the fact that 90-something percent, on the low end, 90 percent, on the likely end, 98 percent, were sold into slavery by Western North African slave traders to begin with.
You just have to teach both sides of it, because if you actually learn human history, you will understand that, you know what, United States flawed, pretty decent place.
So the initiative focuses on that kind of education.
Here's a quote.
Resources will highlight patriotism based on the personal stories of diverse individuals who demonstrate civic minded qualities, including first person accounts of victims of other nations governing philosophies who can compare with those philosophies of the United States.
Hmm.
I think that's probably the one that they hate the most because it's like, hey, socialism!
Well, we're going to teach you about all of the socialist places in the world in existence over time and show you how they suck compared to the United States.
Yeah.
We don't really want that.
Yeah.
Well, these people who, by the way, you have like Tom Morello out there who has the, that's what we have, the Che Guevara shirts, the Rage Against the Machine.
You do realize Che Guevara killed gays and also hated blacks, right?
Have you read Che Guevara?
We've done a whole segment on that.
He hated blacks and he actually enjoyed watching the firing squad at work.
Didn't he want to have a wall removed?
Yeah, he wanted to have a wall removed from his office so he could actually watch them at work.
He was like Hitler, only less effective in his attempt at genocide.
Now when people say, are you saying it?
No, I'm not saying it's a good thing.
I'm saying Hitler was effective at implementing his horrible agenda.
Che Guevara had a horrible, racist agenda that he was not effective at implementing.
Thank God, as far as how it impacted the rest of the world.
But you go and wear your shirt.
So when you see the Che Guevara shirt, think Hitler.
Without the charm.
To some people.
So patriotism is propaganda now to Joy Reid?
Yes.
Correct.
Anything that paints the United States as being a bastion for freedom and democracy is just against what she likes.
Right.
Well, people are triggered by the American flag now.
I mean, that's not surprising.
I mean, there's plenty of people in this country that have no patriotism.
And I'm not saying you should be rah-rah all the time and you shouldn't question your government.
But being anti your own country is very bizarre to me.
She's describing hell.
She is literally describing the seventh level of hell where my son in three years could come home with one of those books as a five-year-old teaching him how to masturbate or gay anal sex or, I didn't even realize, sexual assault included in this book.
If this was all about straight sex, if this was all about teaching kids... Hold on a second.
Just say sex.
Well, it said gay sex.
I'm just saying it's redundant to say straight sex.
Well, no, I'm saying like if this is... Thank you.
You said gay anal sex and then straight sex.
This is about a man and a woman having sex.
I would still not want the book to be there for my five-year-old son.
No, you don't want to read Fifty Shades of Grey to your son.
No, I don't want to read Fifty Shades of Grey and I don't want my son to think that he grows up in a hellhole and I don't want my son to think that he's an oppressor that needs to get down on his knees and kiss people's feet that he has done nothing wrong to and would probably befriend on the playground and play ball with.
That's what I want my son not to have to do and Joy reads describing all of that.
Well, I think it's a double standard because who can forget when our substitute teacher rolled in the VHS television and showed us Showgirls.
Oh, I remember those days.
She was just trying to make a living, Steven.
No, that's a good point.
You know what?
You're going to create more racism than ever.
Of course you will.
Joy Reid wants a more racist America than ever in its history.
If you teach young white kids that they're evil for something over which they have no control... And by the way, have you ever looked at any social experiment conducted with children where you've given one One, versus the other, authority.
They immediately wield it, and they're immediately abusive.
What do you think is going to happen if you say, hold on a second, this is the hierarchy.
You're black, therefore you've been oppressed, so you're going to get special privileges.
You're white, so you need to be browbeaten, and you need to feel guilty.
What kind of dynamic do you think is going to set up, and how do you think that young white boy is going to grow up?
Who do you think he will grow up to be?
You think there might be some resentment?
For the same reason, rightfully so, that young black boys who grew up pre-civil rights era, who grew up in actual Jim Crow South, guess what?
Had every reason to be resentful.
We see this in all these films, like, oh, you just end up perpetuating a cycle of violence, as they do it in front of your eyes, based on a lie.
None of that upsets me as much as The Brownest Eye, where the boy masturbates furiously in his desk chair.
I don't think my child should be reading that.
Is it a desk chair?
It's not even feasible.
I have no idea if it's a desk chair.
I just don't... Why would you read it?
I guess I don't understand.
Like, this is for elementary levels?
Well, I mean, I don't know exactly what level, but it's in the library.
Yeah.
Right?
So at schools.
It's pronounced library.
There's another R in there, Dave.
We are going to read you another wonderful American classic today.
This is from the magazine section.
It is known as Fangoria.
Yes.
Enjoy.
Hustler!
Yes.
This is called Penthouse Forum.
Yes.
Here's a letter.
We've replaced Huckleberry Finn with the adventures of Jugs with a Z!
Yes.
Dear Penthouse, I was stuck in an elevator.
Straight from the convenience store with the thing covering the front.
We'll remove that.
Wow, look at this, boys and girls.
Yes, and I might direct your attention for more resources to buttpimples.com.
What do you mean they're not naked in Playboy anymore?
Oh, that's why it went out of business.
Let's go on to, I think this is the final claim from Joy Reid, don't know how she gets it all wrong, that of course, and this is the coup de grace that conservatives, Florida, they want to make it illegal for blacks to vote or something.
And of course, a concerted effort to make it as hard as possible for anyone who might vote for the out of power party, the Democrats, hashtag black people, to vote or to have representative districts.
Look, I'm not going to read the quote because you know where this is going.
You can go check out the website for all the references.
Here's the truth.
Senate Bill 90, it just strengthens voter ID laws.
You just need some identification so that we know who you are when you're voting.
And by the way, a huge portion, majority of Americans support requiring voter ID, including about 70% of black Americans.
And when you take all minorities together, it's 82%.
So I guess, were they racist?
How is identification racist?
Oh, because black people can't afford it.
It's free.
Well, black people don't have a car.
There's a bus.
Well, some black people don't know how to use the bus.
Well, they can walk.
Well, they're more likely to have diabetes.
Do you hear how racist your shit is?
And by the way, are there not poor white people, poor Asians, poor Hispanics that might have the same challenges?
And you're like, well, no, it's just aimed at black people because we're poorer.
Right.
And we're less capable.
We've been told that our entire lives.
So it must be true, right?
The Democratic Party thinks so little of you.
I can't imagine being an adult and being able to rest my head on my pillow at night and feel good about myself if I believed what the Joy Reads of the World were telling me.
Boy, talk about a way to shatter any hope.
And you want to do that with children?
So what does she say?
Oh, you're going to be fired if you're gay.
Okay, that's not true.
It's not even remotely true.
They want you to not be able to vote.
Okay, that's not true.
They want Christian propaganda.
That's not true.
They want to ban books.
No, they just want age-appropriate books.
You want to ban books because you don't think that they meet your woke quota enough.
Every single thing that she said in the span of about, what, 40 seconds.
What do we rack up?
Six lies?
Hey, why do you mistrust your institutions?
By the way, we're going to go here to Mug Club where we can talk about these things without worrying about getting in trouble.
Share the show.
Sharing is caring.
We appreciate it because it helps us with the algorithm on YouTube.
If you search this show and its name, you won't find it.
YouTube... Must go faster.
Must go faster.
Must go faster.
All right, thank you.
