Minion Death Cult - Erect & Protect (clip) Aired: 2019-11-22 Duration: 05:37 === Thin Blue Line Controversy (03:47) === [00:00:00] So today we're talking about a very specific flag. [00:00:02] Okay, this is a story we have here. [00:00:05] It's close to our hearts. [00:00:07] It's similar to what we cover on the show. [00:00:11] And this is Maryland Police Station banned from displaying thin blue line flag. [00:00:19] Look at these wet blue eyes over these blue lives. [00:00:21] He's so sad. [00:00:23] He's gonna break right now. [00:00:26] This is a sad boy right here. [00:00:28] This sad boy is like one dab rig away from starting a twinkly emo band. [00:00:35] Real sad boy hours. [00:00:36] Yeah. [00:00:37] It's funny, you can't see it, but his lapel pins just say sheriff. [00:00:41] Yeah. [00:00:42] Because he wasn't going to let you know that anyways. [00:00:46] It's funny, and it's so good for the topic because, of course, the thin blue line flag is a flag that just says, hey, we're cops, right? [00:00:52] And then his lapels pin also says, hey, I'm a cop. [00:00:55] It's like when your mom writes left and right on your socks in the morning, you know? [00:01:00] I'm going to read here from this story. [00:01:02] A father and son gave a handcrafted wooden American flag with a thin blue line to Maryland police officers last month. [00:01:10] Police cannot publicly display the National First Responders Day gift. [00:01:16] Montgomery County Executive Mark Elrick has ruled saying the flag is divisive. [00:01:21] First of all, I love that phrase. [00:01:22] Hot take. [00:01:22] Hot take. [00:01:24] I love that phrase, National First Responders Day gift. [00:01:27] Yeah, did you guys get the new Hallmark line for National First Responders gifts? [00:01:31] I got the day off for it. [00:01:33] Did we all attend our National First Responders Day gift exchange this year? [00:01:38] Seeking responders? [00:01:41] However, siding with supporters who say the flag symbolizes law enforcement's separation of order from chaos, Governor Larry Hogan slammed the county's display ban. [00:01:51] We are proud to hang these thin blue line flags in government house to honor our brave law enforcement officers, Hogan tweeted on Sunday. [00:01:59] A local elected official prohibiting police from displaying a flag given to them by a grateful child is disgraceful. [00:02:06] It is a disgrace. [00:02:07] This kid just wanted to decorate Government House. [00:02:10] What's Government House? [00:02:12] Government House is like their version of the Governor's Mansion. [00:02:17] It just sounds like a frat where everybody gets away with sexual assault. [00:02:20] That's exactly what it is. [00:02:23] Yeah, no, I like that they're pinning this on the kid, right? [00:02:25] This is like an eight-year-old kid and his dad who happens to be a woodworker. [00:02:30] Has like a nice shop in the garage, you know? [00:02:33] They're like, this poor kid, he was so just grateful for the police. [00:02:37] You know, he loved the police. [00:02:38] And County Executive Mark Elric came up and slapped him in the mouth, said, get that respect out of your mouth. [00:02:44] You are not allowed to like the police that much. [00:02:48] We all know that you have to smack the children to raise the adrenochrome levels. [00:02:55] Um, so, I don't know, we gotta talk in general, I think, about, like, the thin blue line flag and how much it sucks. [00:03:01] Yeah, yeah. [00:03:02] How stupid it is. [00:03:03] It's just a flag that says, ah, that's me. [00:03:05] That flag, that's what I do. [00:03:07] Yeah, it's like a live, laugh, love sign for cops. [00:03:12] It is. [00:03:13] It is, except it's just cop, cop, cop. [00:03:18] It'd be like if Lance Armstrong showed up to work wearing five Livestrong bracelets on each arm. [00:03:25] No, no, that's what Lance Armstrong did. [00:03:28] He fucked them heavy. [00:03:29] But I mean, no Livestrong bracelets anymore. [00:03:32] Oh yeah, that's right. === Why The Thin Blue Lion Is Racism (02:04) === [00:03:34] That didn't end too well. [00:03:35] He got fucked up, huh? [00:03:36] Yeah, yeah. [00:03:37] Livestrong is cancelled. [00:03:38] No more Living Strong. [00:03:39] Okay, so all we have to do is we catch a cop in a lie. [00:03:45] We catch a cop breaking the rules and then they're done. [00:03:48] So we just need like one 60 minute expose on cop doping and they're done. [00:03:53] Police abolished. [00:03:55] Right. [00:03:55] So the argument here is that the thin blue lion flag is racist, which of course it is. [00:03:59] Yeah, we know this. [00:04:00] This is a fact. [00:04:01] But, uh, we, you know, we have somebody to explain how it's not racist, right? [00:04:05] Okay. [00:04:05] So since the term thin, this is just a random comment or I didn't write down their name. [00:04:09] The comment's just funny. [00:04:11] Since the term thin blue line has been around for at least a century, having first referred... You see where this is going, right? [00:04:23] Having first referred to the U.S. [00:04:25] Army, parentheses, blue uniform, and traces back to a British Army, thin red line, see red codes, this is radical centrism. [00:04:33] That's insane, yeah. [00:04:35] And then adopted in the 50s or 60s to refer to police forces, it can hardly be accused of being racist in any way! [00:04:43] The 50s and 60s! [00:04:45] Come on! [00:04:45] That's not me punching up that joke. [00:04:47] That's verbatim. [00:04:48] That's how that guy said it. [00:04:50] It can't be racist in any way! [00:04:53] No, I mean like, Obama didn't invent racism until 2014. [00:04:57] That's really what these people think. [00:04:59] It's not a joke. [00:05:00] They really think, like Obama said, Trayvon Martin could have been my son and a Manchurian sleeper cell of racism erupted into the nation's brain. [00:05:10] They were unplugged from the matrix and they knew about racism then. [00:05:12] It was fucking on from then on. [00:05:14] Yeah, so people have some thoughtful criticisms of this no blue line, thin blue line policy. [00:05:21] Milkman76 in the Fox News comments section says, As a Marylander, all I have to say is if the Democrats ever take over the presidency again, we're going to have a civil war 1,000 times worse than the last one. [00:05:35] That's all he's trying to say.
