Terrence Popp from Redonkulas.com sounds off on what's wrong with society today
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome, everyone.
This is Mike Adams, founder of Brighteon.com with another episode of Brighteon Conversations.
A very special and intriguing guest today, Terence Popp, joins us from redonculus.com in just a second, also with his producer.
But before we get started, I did want to apologize for last week's episode in which I referred to Democrat lawmakers as evil scum.
I misspoke and I apologize.
I meant to say demon-infested shitbags.
But somehow that didn't come across, so that's my fault and I apologize.
But with that out of the way, let's bring in someone who may comment on that.
His name is Terrence Popp and his producer Blake joins us as well.
Welcome to the show, Terrence.
It's great to have you on.
Well, thank you for having me.
I appreciate it.
Well, Terence, you are gaining quite a following for your very, let's say, direct, blunt, politically incorrect analysis of current events.
And you're a U.S. Army veteran, I heard in one of your videos.
Can you give us a little background for our audience who's meeting you for the first time?
What do you do?
What's it all about?
Well, ridiculous is basically anything that is wrong and ridiculous is Is fair game for Ridonculous, so we'll talk about it.
I mean, it doesn't matter if you're conservative or liberal.
It just so happens that the liberals and the Democrats, I mean, they have the market cornered on Ridonculous things that we could talk about.
It's a never-ending cesspool of idiocracy.
What stands out in your mind right now as the most insane thing that you're seeing in modern culture?
How the Democrats are now pretty much full-on socialists.
And I just don't understand that because historically socialism and communism has failed so monumentally we can't even count the dead that they're responsible for.
Well, I know the University of Hawaii attempted to do that.
They counted up to 262 million in the 20th century, but probably that's undercounting it.
Do you think that there's a real danger here?
I mean, I know you bring a lot of satire and some comedy into your presentations, but underneath it all, are you legitimately concerned about a genocidal type of event?
Oh, I am.
I am absolutely concerned about that.
Because historically, whenever...
They come into power.
They use the useful idiots as the battering ram to get into where they want to be.
And then once they're there, they turn around and they wipe out all the useful idiots, i.e.
Knight of the Long Knives.
And then Russia did it when he wiped out pretty much everyone between the rank of Major and General in his own army.
As soon as the communists came into power.
It's a sad part of human history.
You're joined today by your, is it your producer or business partner, Blake?
Both.
I mean, to be honest with you, Ridoculus would not be where it is without his efforts.
I'm just the insanity behind it.
He is the artistic guy who weaves it together so people can understand My insanity.
Is it okay if I bring Blake in?
You got a green theme going.
What's that all about, Blake?
Bring him in.
This is my toxic male lighting.
How I see myself as part of this team is Pop's mind is like a hose, and getting blown up in two wars, somebody's got their thumb on that hose.
I am the funnel that brings it all back into a single stream again.
Because...
He'll tell you, when we're shooting, it takes sometimes up to, like, three or four hours to go from, you know, like, script writing to actual filming and then finishing an episode.
And we're all over the place.
And it's not just because of the booze.
I'm sure that doesn't help.
But it's just ideas, you know, and his mind will go, you know, one way, and then I'll be like, no, okay, we'll follow you down the beaten path a little bit.
And then sometimes a half hour later, I'll be like, no, that works.
Let's reel it in and figure out where we went off into the weeds.
Well, here's a question for you then.
As you're helping to manage the business or maybe pioneering all that, the question is, You know, Terrence's approach is obviously politically incorrect.
He uses a certain amount of profanity, which I think is perfect.
I think it's just the right amount of profanity in the right places, by the way.
I kind of wish I had a little more freedom to use profanity, but how do you deal with all the deplatforming and censorship and, you know, hate that comes your way?
What's that like?
Make material out of it.
How many hate mail episodes have we done, Pop?
Four?
Five?
I think we're on five now.
But the thing with the hate mail is, since most of my videos, I put the sources and the links to all the studies and so forth for what we talk about.
They don't argue me on point.
It's always some kind of...
Personal attack, which I find hilarious.
Who hurt you?
You have a small penis.
You must be gay.
Do you talk to your mother that way?
What will your kids think?
I thought they said being gay was the only acceptable status.
How could they insult you by saying you must be gay if they say being gay is good?
Well, these are the same people who say that You know, saying all lives matter and the current political climate is racist and yet they preach intersectionality at the same time.
There's not a logical brain cell flipping around in the empty brain pan that they got.
True.
True.
Which brings up the question, Terence, are you prepared now to confess to your white sins today here in this interview?
No, no.
I've done nothing to confess to other than exist.
Okay.
All right.
Fair enough.
Now, you've taken it to the lunacy of the left in all kinds of videos.
Give our audience a bit of a sense of sort of the most recent topics that you've covered, so maybe they can check out your channel.
I know you're on Brighttown.
You're on other platforms.
People would probably love to check out your more recent episodes.
Well, yeah.
I mean, we did a few on Black Lives Matter in the past two or three weeks.
We've covered the Chaz Chop debacle and so forth.
I believe I have gone into what a current modern Civil War will look like.
I started doing that with my Zombie Apocalypse videos, which I think the first one came out like five years ago.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we're up to Zombie Apocalypse 5 now.
And I just recently reposted the original zombie apocalypse today because with YouTube's ever amorphous algorithm and what they deem to be offensive and what they don't, about a couple months ago, we were deplatformed very briefly.
We went into YouTube jail for a couple of weeks over a video.
And because of that, and since it seems like there's no rhyme or reason to these rules, how they're enforced, who they are enforced on, We preemptively privatized some of those videos and have since been re-releasing them on Thursdays on all tech platforms and with,
you know, in Cuckifornia-stan, I call it, you know, in New York, different places that are unleashing thousands of violent criminals onto the streets, some of whom, like I think there was one in Florida or something, got released, killed someone the next day.
And had to be brought back into custody.
And then the original zombie apocalypse is what happens if we overburden the prison system so much to where the money goes away and these people all come out.
It's like, wow!
It's almost like we're dealing with that right now.
I think this video needs to be re-released.
No, it's incredible.
I love how Governor Newsom says, oh, well, we have to release thousands of violent criminals because the coronavirus might spread in the prisons, but when those same criminals go out onto the streets in crowded mobs, somehow the virus doesn't spread there.
Oh, yeah!
Yeah!
That's amazing how that works.
I don't get it.
Terrence, if you had a transgender child, would you name it Chaz?
No, no.
I would not be having...
Well, first of all, the whole transgender thing.
A large majority of those kids that are gender confused come from a family without a father, number one.
And number two, almost all of them come out of it by the time they reach adulthood.
So, it's just ridiculous how they're...
How they're allowing a two-year-old kid to decide what's going to happen to his body, and yet a minor can't drink, own a gun.
I mean, it's just crazy.
We were all in a position to make life-altering decisions when we were eating boogers and pooping mustard and whatever else kids do, playing with Ninja Turtles, shoving them up their ass.
No, it's amazing.
I love how the Democrats say that you can decide to physically maim your genitalia at four years old and you should be able to vote at about 10, they think, but you shouldn't be able to own a gun until you're 95.
They don't want you to own guns, period.
That's it.
Yeah.
So, okay, Terrence, you actually seem, despite your demeanor in your videos, you actually seem to be a very compassionate person.
You care about humanity.
Is that true?
I mean, would that be a true assessment to say that the reason you do this is because you're actually trying to get people to wake up and see what's ridiculous so that we can return to some sanity?
I would say that's true.
One of the main reasons...
For the formation of Second Class Citizen was to combat this rash of male and veteran suicides that's going on.
And, you know, it just became so negative.
I had to flip the script and instead of being all sad and serious, I went from comedy to I went to comedy to try to help those individuals navigate the crazy world that we live in today.
Well, tell us about secondclasscitizen.org.
What's the mission of that nonprofit?
Well, basically, we are an information source for noncustodial parents, mainly veterans and current service members.
And we warn about...
The dangers of feminism, the feminized courts, and how to navigate those systems to a certain extent.
I wish I had more money to actually afford attorneys for these people, but we just don't have those resources.
All I could do was provide information.
Well, do you accept donations at the.org website?
Yes, we do.
Okay, so people watching can check that out, secondclasscitizen.org.
And to my producer, let's show some screenshots of that while we're talking about it.
So just kind of show the website, pop that in there as well.
And Terrence, you've really hit on something here, which is almost what you would call weaponized feminism.
I think that all of us, we don't have anything opposed to women whatsoever, but when these radical feminists say that men are bad, like your producer Blake has the toxic masculinity green theme today, how are men bad?
I mean, men are the defenders of society.
Men are the ones who will go out and, you know, Establish the borders, defend your nation, defend your community, defend your household so that women can actually be women.
You know what I mean?
So why is it bad to be men?
Well, it's actually a strategy they're using in a propaganda-esque kind of way.
We all, no matter what color we are or whatever's hanging between your legs or not hanging between your legs, we are, as a group, evil people.
Hairless monkeys.
Alright?
Evil will always exist.
It's never going to go away.
You're going to have people that do evil in both sexes.
Either they're insane or they're just assholes.
And, you know, they basically take examples of men who are doing evil shit and they're applying that to all men.
Which is ridiculous.
Well, right.
I mean, I recall, for example, when a radical Islamic terrorist drives a van over pedestrians in, let's say, Paris, we are lecturing.
Right.
No, but CNN will tell us, oh, that's just a lone wolf, right?
You cannot judge all Islam by the actions of one individual.
But then when one cop does something, or one white person does something, or one gun owner does something, then they say, oh my God, all those people are bad.
They're all bad.
That's what we hear over and over again.
It's called cognitive disconnect.
Well, that's the actual, you know, first building block of propaganda.
It's when you generalize everyone into a small subsect.
Right.
But do you think this is a phase that this country is going to come out of?
Is the pendulum going to swing the other way?
Or does this just get more insane until we actually collapse as a nation where there's no more sanity, no rationality?
The whole system craters at that point.
Where do you think this is going?
Well, as it stands now, I think we do have a chance to pull out of it.
But if that fails, it's going to get bad for everyone for a while.
We've seen moral panics like this in the past.
In the 80s, they had the satanic panic, you know, and the kind of the Bush Republican era of the early 2000s where there was a lot of moral policing.
And it seems to amp up to the nth degree right before it dies.
And that's my hope for the situation.
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed on that one.
Well, I hope you're right, but I remember what you're talking about.
I had friends in high school whose parents threw away all their Dungeons and Dragons books.
Yep.
They even made a, one of Tom Hanks' first leading roles was in a made-for-television movie called Mazes and Monsters that was basically predicated on that whole satanic panic thing.
You know, what's going to happen if these kids go out and play Mazes and Monsters or Dungeons and Dragons and they go out LARPing and next thing you know it's going to be hard drugs and sex and satanic rituals and bloodletting and blah!
Come on!
Ha ha ha!
And that brings us to Hollywood in 2020, yes.
Yeah.
It's amazing.
Ten years ago, Mel Gibson sounded insane.
Now everybody's like, he might have had a point!
I know.
Isn't it funny how, well, not funny, but maybe horrifying, how the Jeffrey Epstein situation just kind of changed the whole narrative.
Now you talk about, you know, these child-raping pedos in Hollywood, and that's no longer a conspiracy theory.
That's in the news.
They're trying to get one elected into the White House.
Exactly.
Well, they've got to join all the others that are already in the Senate.
No, I... Okay, we're getting way off course there, but bringing it back, Terrence, to what you're doing.
Could I ask, roughly what part of the country do you live in?
I'm just outside Detroit.
Oh, and you're still alive.
Okay, that's great to know.
Yeah, yeah.
So we know what the aftermath of places like Minneapolis and Seattle looks like.
I've lived outside Detroit my entire life, and...
I literally used to get on the roof when I was a kid and watch Detroit burn on Devil's Night.
Wow.
So you've really seen the gutting of an American city with liberal policies and lack of policing and things like that, right?
Yes, I have.
Formerly the Paris of the West.
Right, right.
It was the shining city of America in the 1950s, 60s.
50s and 60s, yeah.
So what would your warning be then to others?
You've got mayors of Portland and Seattle and L.A. defunding police, taking money away from police budgets.
What would you say to those mayors?
Okay, first of all, with all of this anger towards the police, we have to understand that they are the final enforcement line for our country's internal policies.
Those policies are jacked up From the street level all the way up to the federal level.
And there needs to be a cleaning of house.
They need to change policies around and to help basically unfuck this whole thing.
Now, those individual cities in the blue states or blue cities, I think defunding their police is a radical mistake.
And to be honest, It's already too late for some of those cities.
They have people leaving in droves now, and I don't think you're going to be able to bring them back, not for a long time at the very minimum.
Well, the mass exodus has certainly begun, like you say, and it seems like financially...
A lot of these cities are now, they don't have the tax revenues they once had, you know, sales taxes, because the retail establishments are shut down due to lockdowns, and then the most productive citizens are the ones that are leaving the cities, leaving behind those that are on the entitlements and the welfare and the food stamps.
So it's a vicious cycle of destruction, it seems.
Yeah, and they brought it on themselves.
And the thing is, is that they could have looked at what happened to Detroit and used it as a shining example of what not to do.
And they failed to learn from that lesson.
It cracks me up to see these politicians thinking that the useful idiots, by pandering to them, they're not going to come after them.
By appealing to the outrage mob, it doesn't make you immune to it.
I mean, just look at J.K. Rowling recently and all these Hollywood guys who stood up and threw out these far-left ideas like Jimmy Kimmel.
You know, if I just keep talking like this, they'll never come after me.
The Internet's forever, Jimmy.
They found your blackface!
Uh-oh!
Yeah, you can never hide blackface deep enough in history.
Someone will find it.
But now the corporation is all virtual.
What's that?
That's a bad joke.
It just got dark in here?
I missed that one.
So, Blake, are you also in the Detroit area?
Yeah, Pop and I actually only live a couple miles apart now.
Oh, okay.
When we originally met...
I can tell this story very quickly.
It was about 12 years ago.
Pop was looking for someone under the secondclasscitizen.org moniker to make a dramatic film about the veteran suicide thing.
I was just recently out of a job and broke, so I agreed to do it for a very low sum of money compared to other people that he was interviewing to possibly take it up.
And we knocked it out, won a bunch of film festivals with it, toured the country with it.
It was a good time.
And then all of a sudden, a couple years later, he's like, let's try comedy.
And if you watch Ridonculous, you'll notice two things.
Well, three things.
First of all, the production gets better as time goes on.
Second, Pop gets way more comfortable being funny and drinking on camera.
And three, you will kind of see my own red pill transformation through time.
Because when we first started, I was like, oh yeah, Occupy Wall Street might actually have a point.
No, I'm like, fuck those guys.
I don't know what the hell they're talking about.
If they actually had a logical brain cell in their head, they wouldn't be a socialist.
Well, you know, part of what...
I mean, you mentioned how Terrence is becoming more comfortable with the format of comedy and so on.
I agree.
Terrence, I think your presentation is right on.
It's very refreshing, and I think it's because you voice what people wish they could say without being fired, threatened, or have their homes burned down.
So, you know, you...
You put a voice to what's in their head that they just can't say, but for some reason, you are willing to say it, a few people, like you and I are willing to say these things.
Why is that?
What is it about you that allows you to just speak freely?
Well, I had a really bad TBI when I got wounded in Iraq in 2004.
Sure, blame it on the brain damage, bro.
I'm serious.
Like, when it healed, it's like one of the filters of safety that keeps you from saying stuff just never came back.
And, like, how I talk on camera and everything is exactly what I used to do when I was in the Army, and mine is holding a beer 24-7.
Well, that's disappointing.
Well, I mean, I literally, I mean, I started, that's one of the reasons why they medically retired me.
I was starting to get in trouble, because the Army was getting way too politically correct, and I just can't do that.
Yeah, yeah.
I can't imagine you, with your voice today, being accepted in the military that's, I think, funding transgender surgeries for frontline troops at this point.
Yeah.
I mean, they were literally going to send me to sensitivity training.
Oh my goodness.
Right.
Yeah, I'm sure you would have passed that with flying colors, man.
Yeah, could we film that if they make you do that?
Oh, I will make a documentary, to use Pop's pronunciation of the word about that one.
Now you've got me doing it.
That would have been hilarious, to be honest with you.
Wow.
Well, you and I spend way too much time together, man.
The more time goes by, the more I find myself saying things.
That I never used to say mispronouncing certain words like documentary.
And sometimes I even talk to my wife sometimes.
She'll just be like, oh my god, the computer won't work.
I can't get him to edit photos.
I'm like, wah.
And she'll look at me like, did you just wah me?
I'm like, yeah.
I do love that.
You also do like a, what is it, a camera high five?
What do you call it?
A screen five.
A screen five.
Yeah, that's it.
Yeah, I always love that.
You've got attitude in there.
By the way, I really admire your nonprofit work for veterans as well.
I don't know if you know this about me, but I've trained with many, many veterans and supported veterans organizations like the DAV over the years.
It's no joke that the shit they've seen and what they've been through and the way they've been mistreated by the VA hospital system, which is an atrocity against healthcare, no wonder so many people are suffering.
I mean, it's...
This nation grinds up soldiers and spits them out and they end up in the VA with serious brain damage.
It's no joke.
I'm one of them.
And we've said, too, that even though The numbers that do exist for veteran suicides, they're astronomical.
I mean, at the time that we made Purple Heart's final beat, the number of veteran suicides in a single year was more than all casualties for the entire length of conflict for Iraq and Afghanistan altogether.
Whoa.
But we're never going to know the numbers for real because I think it's one-third of the homeless are veterans.
So if they disappear, fall off the grid, and then off themselves with whatever they can get their hands on, who's going to know?
Well, they actually, you know, most veterans are not tracked after about four to five years after getting out of the service.
They just kind of They just kind of transition and they're just counted as normal individuals.
And seldomly do they go, oh, well that guy was a veteran.
It just doesn't happen.
Well, I can't help but wonder what the, you know, I'm a nutrition scientist in addition to doing this, but I can't help but wonder what kinds of nutrients do veterans desperately need.
I mean, why couldn't the military provide just a basic daily supplement that's got vitamin C, turmeric, which stops inflammation and, you know, even neurological inflammation and so on?
I mean, it would be pennies a day.
To give our soldiers vitamin D, prevent bone weakness, by the way, a lot of the bone fractures in the military are due to vitamin D deficiency, things like that.
Why doesn't our government care enough to just spend a nickel a day per soldier on nutrition?
Because they're too busy spending that money on single mothers.
Screen five!
Well, Blake has seen my supplements I take.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
It's like a GNC threw up in your corner, man.
I take all of the stuff you mentioned.
I take it all myself every day.
Well, that's probably helping you stay sane in this insane world.
That's questionable.
Well, look, this is my super green smoothie right here.
Holy crap.
Yeah, this has turmeric in it, and it's got avocados and bananas and freaking goji berries, all kinds of stuff.
I've been drinking this for 15 years, and apparently it hasn't driven me insane yet, but who knows?
Operative word there, man.
Exactly.
I keep doing this, I'm going to go insane.
Well, speaking of drinking, so you do make beer part of your theme there, Terrence.
Is that just to keep it fun, or are you actually inebriated at times on camera?
Well, yeah, we've had a few times where we've gone over the edge.
That's how it began.
It began with just beer.
And it was always the pussy drinks.
Whatever was on sale.
Bud White, Coors, what have you.
And then one day, we're filming, and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no.
None of that stuff.
I'm going to give you some Guinness Extra Stout.
And I want to say we filmed like Dude Law in one other episode that day.
By the time we were halfway through the first episode, all of a sudden I just, I'm getting my notes and I look up and he's like...
I think my tongue is numb, bro.
Really?
We're actually going to proceed and you're inebriated.
We have another episode to shoot.
This is going to be fantastic.
And then as time went on and all of a sudden we had fans who were willing to donate huge chunks of time.
A buddy of mine named Evan owns a carpentry business.
He actually built the bar that you see in all of the pop culture episodes for the last few years.
cut down the tree, machined the wood, did everything all free of charge.
And that was when fans started sending us, you know, like hard liquor from overseas and everything.
So it went from being a beer that he would just hold almost as a ceremonial gesture to a full-on menagerie of booze with a shot glass, a small rocks glass and a beer, always a mixed drink.
So by the time he's done, usually we sit there for about a half hour afterwards and he's just like, No.
I need to sit here for like another 20 minutes if that's alright.
Yeah, it's fine.
Well, powered by all that booze, give us a sense, what kind of episodes do you have coming up?
What's on your cue here?
Well, I want to actually, I'm going to stay on point with all of the craziness that's going on in the world.
Because the mainstream media is not covering it properly.
Shocker.
For instance, when we went up to the Lansing Capitol for one of the protests, and we interviewed everyone, we told them ahead of time, listen, your interview is going to be aired in full, unedited, and then afterwards, we'll put portions in there.
Because we don't want to take anyone out of context.
Because, in my opinion, that's just bullshit.
That's just dirty pool, and I don't like to do that.
Right.
That was fun, even though it was...
Oh, man.
You and I walked away probably about 90 minutes, I would say, walking around that protest.
Everyone was super nice.
People of all ages, all races.
There were even some kids there.
And I remember we walked up to that one dude wearing the Trump cap, and he's just like, I don't know why she's calling everybody racist unless she's talking about me.
I was like, oh man, thank you for saying that.
I love that dude.
And we were both soaked through to the bone.
I actually drove home barefoot because I was like, well, if I don't have a fungal infection, I will by the time we get back.
And it was raining so hard that it was actually going through our umbrellas at the end.
My shoes were soaked through the bone.
It took probably a full day for them to dry out.
It was so bad.
What do you think is going to happen with Michigan in the upcoming election?
Because didn't Michigan just very slightly edge for Trump in 2016?
Yes.
I have no idea what's going to happen.
In fact, it's keeping me up at night already, and I already don't sleep.
So I'm worried for this country.
I really am.
I pray that Whitmer gets recalled.
Or at the very least, if she doesn't get recalled, that the example that she has set, because I think that she is trying to wrestle the moron crown away from Gavin Newsom for the absolute worst governor in this country...
Yeah.
Her Cuomo and Newsom seem to be, you know, fighting it out.
You know, I'm sure that there are some people, like my brother calls Gretchen Whitmer or Stretchen Gretchen, as I like to call her, demon milf.
So I'm sure he'd like to see that fight happen in a jello pit, but that's neither here nor there.
But I'm hoping that the example that she sets shows the people in this state, because, I mean, there's still so many people, and their businesses are never going to reopen.
Yeah.
Hey, this is what happens when you hand the keys to the kingdom to one of these far leftists.
And the last thing that we need is a demented kid diddler in the White House where basically you're not voting for him, you're voting for his VP because he's going to be a figurehead.
He's not actually going to be running anything.
He can't even run his own fucking Twitter account.
Nope.
And getting back to Whitmer, there aren't many governors who have become famous for being insane authoritarian morons.
Yeah, I think she outranks everyone in terms of executive orders, almost like 15 to 1.
It's insane how many executive orders that she's written.
And then everybody's like, well, it's against the law.
I was like, no, executive orders are not law.
Those get passed through legislation.
Didn't you watch Schoolhouse Rock?
That's why executive orders can have injunctions levied against them by courts.
It's because they're not laws.
Well, but no, the kids today are smoking schoolhouse crack.
They're not even, I mean, the schools aren't even schools.
And you talked about that, Terrence.
What do you think is the problem with education today?
Well, the problem I see with education today is they've taken basically true history out of the equation.
They're only teaching aspects of history that suit them, and they are teaching to the lowest denominator.
You have people in every school that just excel, and that's just the way it is.
And they're holding the people who excel back With the people who are dragging and moving forward, that's nothing.
It's not going to go anywhere good.
It's going to be a travesty of epic proportion, you know, 20 or 30 years from now.
Hopefully, I'll be dead by then, but we shall see.
Done the 65 and out plan.
Well, which brings me to another question.
You both live outside Detroit.
What happens when Detroit gets taken over by zombies and they run out of food in the inner city and they start heading out to where you live?
What's your zombie apocalypse plan?
Well, I basically throw all my shit in a pickup truck and take it further out from the city.
Unfortunately, I have two kids in the area and my elderly mother, and I'll probably have to stick it out as long as I can.
But if it gets bad, I mean, you have no choice but to fall back and regroup.
That actually reminds me of something that I was going to bring up earlier when you were talking about the notion of feminism attacking men is that, you know, during good times, when you want to make radical changes to society, that's when it's a good opportunity to attack men because we are the first and last line of defense.
But when the shit hits the fan, suddenly that toxic masculinity is the first thing that these people love to hide behind.
Sure.
Yeah, you pick up that AR-15 and shoot these zombies, right?
I'll do it.
I'm actually a really good shot with an AR-15.
Well, there's a lot more to just shooting.
There's a whole aspect that needs to be taught before you just walk out and start shooting people.
Oh, yeah, like Ken and Karen in St.
Louis.
I mean, he was cool.
She lacked trigger discipline.
Oh yeah, she was flagging everybody, including her husband, with the muzzle of that.
You better stand back there!
Like I'm saying, this is why women didn't used to serve in infantry in the military.
I'm just going to say it.
You know, this is also...
This is why gun manufacturers...
The reason that women should not be in front-line combat units is physically, you know, the demands of a front-line combat soldier...
Are beyond any triathlete level.
And, I mean, literally, you go beyond your human abilities to the point where it's all in your head.
And it's every day until it ends or you get wounded or killed.
So you could be doing...
You know, you could be moving 20 miles a day on a thousand calories, maybe less, you know, just barely enough water, 20 to 30 miles, digging holes, putting, you know, doing heavy physical labor.
And that could go on day in and day out for months, even years.
Now, a woman can do that once, twice, maybe she can hang for a couple weeks.
But physically speaking, they don't have the muscles, the endurance, they don't heal as fast, and it takes a punishing toll on them to the point where they become feckless and useless.
I remember the photo of you when you finally graduated ranger school.
I mean, you were like emaciated, what, 130 pounds from eating like one meal a day?
Remembering God knows how many calories?
Yeah, I went down to less than what I did when I went into the Army.
Wow, yeah, you look like a bobblehead.
Yeah, that's terrible.
With a big nose, just standing there.
Well, I think what they need is the women's combat team so that men can join the women's team by claiming to be women.
Hey, that works all over the place, right?
Yeah, it works in wrestling.
Yes, exactly.
You know, where now transgenderism allows men to beat women to death in a ring for pay-per-view money, and the feminists are totally okay with that.
Well, they're not, but they don't want the outrage mob to come for them.
I think on some level, they have to be rational enough to realize that this is the fruits of their labor.
You reap what you sow.
They're the ones who push.
Men and women are physically and mentally equal.
Anything you can do, I can do better.
And then as soon as the fit hits the shan, when somebody takes that because it's all...
As much as people love to say that the slippery slope argument is not a valid one, oh, it is.
Because we see it with feminism, and now we're seeing it especially with the alphabet community, you know, the LGBTQWTF LOL crowd, where, you know, this is what we want.
And then, okay, you give it to them.
That seems reasonable.
Okay, now we want this.
I'm kind of on the fence about it, but I don't think it'll hurt anybody.
Okay, now we want this, this, this, this, and this.
Oh, wait a minute.
Oh, well, now there's too many of us and you've given in too many times.
So if you don't give it to us, we're going to, you know, go after the things that you love.
We're going to go after everything that you've ever said on social media and use it against you.
And that's how you wind up with drag queen story time.
Yeah, that is incredibly savage.
That just bothers me to no end.
In what universe is it okay...
For a person of color, you know, trans, nine, binary, pansexual, attracted to the tools in the shed person, giving a five or six year old girl in a library in front of parents applauding a lap dance.
In what universe is that appropriate?
I don't get it.
And, I mean, even McDonald's has now hired an African-American trans, you know, biological male who's quite large to be a trans female spokeswoman.
I mean, look, I got nothing against people who want to do whatever they want to do in their own homes or cross-dress or whatever, but that does not make me want to order a side of fries, you know what I mean?
No.
It is...
I think my personal favorite thing that's come out in the recent few months is, maybe it's even the same person, I have no idea, but Calvin Klein put up a giant billboard of a black trans woman lesbian.
What?
Isn't that just saying he's a straight dude who dresses like a chick?
Yes!
That's exactly it!
Eventually the logic all comes back around.
I mean, I remember when they said, oh, we all have to support same-sex marriage.
So we said, okay, we support same-sex marriage.
And they said, ah, but there is no such thing as sex.
So, well, wait a minute!
You got us to agree to that shit!
Now you change the rules again!
Biological sex is a social construct.
Well, they do the same thing with the dictionary.
They're changing the definition of words so they don't have to argue against that using logic because they can't.
Because the original definition of racism, basically the actions that that applies to specifically in our society are basically gone.
And if it's gone, then the fight is over.
Then the money dries up.
Then these craptivistic groups have nothing else to do.
They actually have to go out and be productive members of society.
They can't have that.
So they have to change the definitions of racist and sexist and sexual assault so that it can apply to these, you know, it becomes this amorphous meaning that can encompass anything that they want.
It becomes completely subjective.
And the next thing you know, trans, non-binary, lesbian dudes.
Well, which brings up, I mean, what was amazing is that You know, the Civil Rights Act was reinterpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court to say that it now applies to gender dysphoric individuals.
So couldn't you, Terrence, for example, claim to be a conserva-gender?
And then anyone who attacks your conservatism, let's say, well, no, they're attacking your gender, because that's your gender now.
If you can make it up, why don't you make up whatever you want?
Back in the day, If you pretended to be something that you're not, like Napoleon or Washington or whatever, you were considered delusional, and that's a mental illness.
Now, if you're a man and you think you're a woman, that's okay now.
It's a mental illness.
I feel sorry for people that have that problem, and I want them to get the compassion and the help that they deserve, but I don't think it's fair to force me To basically placate their mental illness, because it's not helping anybody.
Like we said on the show, I think the joke was, you don't treat schizophrenia by telling them that the voices in their head are real.
I love that.
And that's basically what they're doing now.
It's like, oh, that's what you think?
Never mind the fact that they're four, and, you know, they still mistake their own feces for chocolate.
You know, they...
I mean, come on, there needs to be some sense of logic and rationale here, and it's just gone.
But today the voices in their head get appointed to police chief, they get into universities, they get accepted to Yale, they get blue check marks on Twitter.
I mean, the schizophrenia has gone insane.
Now it's a bonus!
Just ask Kathy Griffin.
Right.
I mean, the more gender dysphoria you have and the more personalities you have, I guess, you're now a god in modern life.
You're going to get that gold medal in the Oppression Olympics.
Yes.
Definitely.
Okay, so we're going to wrap this up here in a couple minutes, and we've covered a lot of topics, but Terrence, just getting back to you, what is it that you really want to accomplish with your videos?
What message are you trying to get across to people?
Where are you going with this?
Well, I'm just trying to save as many men as I can.
Okay, I'm trying to save them from falling into the pitfalls after divorce, which leads to suicide.
I'm trying to save those young kids out there, you know, 18 to 22, because a lot of these young kids are making, you know, life-ruining decisions in that critical four years after they reach adulthood that is just ruining the rest of their lives.
Okay.
Now, I made those mistakes in my 30s and some in my 20s.
Some?
Yeah, some.
If I had the wisdom that I have now when I was 18, I would have been unstoppable.
I think that goes for a lot of people.
And I know that just working with you...
I mean, you've taught me so freaking much.
I mean, you can ask anybody.
I mean, the popisms have become part of the daily vernacular, not just in my home, but in a lot of my close friends.
And we've mentioned this before, where I started out kind of a left-leaning individual, and then I remember the one time that I realized, holy crap, I am not a beautiful and unique snowflake.
I am the same decaying organic matter as everything else.
Was during the horse chick episode, where all of a sudden he's writing all this stuff up on the board, and I saw my three-year relationship just displayed out in front of me, almost like he was in the room, a fly on the wall for the entire time.
I'm like, wow, I really am going to learn from this.
And seven years later, we're still here.
And now I think we've actually gotten to the point where we're teaching each other, which is good, because I feel like I can actually give something back.
So Terrence is actually kind of like a no-bullshit Dr.
Phil, like a pro-man Dr.
Phil, sort of.
Cro-magnon Dr.
Phil, I like that.
Pro-magnon, yeah, there you go.
But way cooler than Dr.
Phil.
I'm the Dr.
Phil who knows how to fight.
Yeah, perfect.
That mustache is pretty hardcore, man.
I mean, we've all been on fascinating journeys, and I want to thank you for taking the time to chat with us today and just add, I mean, when I was in college, I'm a little older than both of you.
When I was in college, I remember just out of college, 1994, they passed the assault weapons ban in Congress, and at the time, I thought that was awesome.
And fast forward to today, and I can't even count how many assault weapons I have.
You know what I mean?
I lost count long ago.
Got to have the next one.
Oh, now it's in 300 blackout.
Got to have that one.
But, you know, we change because we learn.
We grow.
And I think, Terrence, that's what you're offering to your audience is learn from the wisdom of people like you who have gone...
You've had a lot of experiences in the Army, in life, in relationships, as a father, and so many other things.
You really have a lot to offer this world.
So please, keep doing what you're doing.
Don't ever back down.
I'm trying not to.
I... To be honest, I'm just too stupid.
I don't think I'll ever do that.
I am.
Well, you're speaking too humbly.
I think you also have a lot of courage in what you're doing.
And voices like yours are really important in this time because there's got to be a counter voice to the insanity of the indoctrination and the obedience cult that the left has become.
That's exactly what they have become, an obedience cult.
Yes.
That's it.
And that's why I watch your channel.
I put your channel on my playlist.
