The liberals are destroying California, and conservative humor gone awry... conservative humor gone awry is going to fascist-fornia today.
So stay tuned, we're going to take a few pictures of the desert and how their policies are actually messing it up.
It's not beautiful when you go across that border.
Stay tuned guys, we'll show you exactly what it looks like when the storm gets all their environmental stuff.
Stay tuned.
Okay, so here, flash forward to when he's like 15 or 16.
He says he's hanging out with a rough crowd.
He said his high school was rough.
He was being a follower, is how he describes it.
He wasn't being a free thinker.
He was being a follower.
And so he was hanging out with some thugs in the projects.
and then he's been adopted full-time by a family that uh ran the daycare ran one of the daycares that he attended they adopted him and two of his siblings now this family also apparently has a has a newspaper route and he would work for the newspaper route After living with him.
Because he's been so principled.
He's been working his whole life.
I mean, yeah, no shots at him for fucking working on a farm and a newspaper route as a literal child.
That's fine.
But like these families are it's very interesting situation.
Very interesting.
These families have.
Oh, what's up, dude?
Uh, Patrick is coming back from the studio right now.
He just had an eight hour session in a private studio.
Fuck yeah.
Hell yeah.
And so, we are very excited to hear what the outcome of that is.
Yeah, yeah.
So, very excited to hear what the outcome of that's gonna be.
Yeah, so he's living with his family.
Terrence K. Williams is living with his family who has a paper route empire.
I don't know.
It's the whole city.
It's one family.
17 foster children.
And, uh, the sister of his, uh, his adopted mother, uh, is, uh, is Sharita, okay?
So Sharita says, what do you mean Terrence is hanging out in the projects?
She asked disgustedly.
Tammy, who's his adopted mother, Tammy explained the problem and said that I would call, but she was not sure that I would or when I would come back.
So Tammy, his mom, is like, don't go fucking hanging out in the projects.
Terrence, being 15 or 16, is like feeling himself and is like, I'm gonna go hang out.
I'm gonna go to this fucking house party or whatever.
Sharita is like the muscle of the operation.
We'll just see about that, Sharita replied, and hustled off with her husband, Justin, to go find me.
Sharita was a force to be reckoned with.
Beautiful and confident, she fought for what she believed.
I liked her when I knew she was confident and a force to be reckoned with.
Now that I know she's beautiful, I love this woman.
Yeah, yeah, I love Charita.
She had a soft spot for me and treated us all like family whether adopted or not.
Like Keisha used to fight for me, Charita was ready to stand up for me in a different way.
In an area known for gangsters and prostitution, her car pulled up in Dungi, Dun-gee, I'm not familiar with the city, don't know how to say that, and she didn't hesitate to search for me.
I heard my auntie and her white husband walking through the streets yelling, Terrence!
Terrence!
I wanted to melt into the ground.
Her husband had been my martial arts coach and was tough as nails, but to have a white dude wandering through a black neighborhood yelling my name was humiliating.
What is color matter, Terrence?
You mean incredibly tight?
Why is that a factor?
That defines your whole life.
That's your favorite shit ever.
That's goals for you.
All you want is white people to be chanting your name.
That's all you want.
I mean, same.
Here I was, trying to be all tough and hard, and they showed up to embarrass me like that.
I was cursing before they even got close.
My Aunt Sherita cursed right back.
What are you doing?
What in the hell?
How are you going to disrespect your mama like that?
Get your ass in the damn car.
We scuffled and she threw me into the car.
As it started to pull away, I jumped out of the moving vehicle.
Quote, get the hell away from me!
I'm not going anywhere with you, I yelled.
Sherita was having none of it.
She threw me into the car again and gave me a whooping.
My embarrassment before was nothing compared to what I felt after being spanked soundly by my aunt.
People had stood up to bullies on my behalf, but my Aunt Sherita was standing up to me, saying, this is enough.
I didn't like it at the time, but I realize now that this was substantial.
Instead of just expecting me to fail or be a thug, some people loved me and saw that I could choose to be more.
They expected me to lead and not to follow.
They showed me that I wasn't defined by my past circumstances or confined by others' actions.
Well, apparently you're talking about how you are literally confined by the actions of your family members.
Yeah, you really read into that a lot.
If they hadn't spanked you or done whatever, then you would have ended up on the wrong side of the track.
So, by definition, you were talking about how you were at the mercy of the people who raised you.
I could do better.
I could be different.
I could grab the opportunities presented to me and make my own way.
I could lead and live a life of purpose and direction.
And it's right here, instead of just expecting me to fail or be a thug, some people loved me and saw that I could choose to be more.
How many people in prison do you think were beaten by their parents?
Yeah.
Like a good chunk of them, I would say at least.
I would say a high, I would probably say 97.9%.
Like not even beat, like spanked.
Like a lot.
Like spanked with love or spanked from whatever degree.
I don't think discipline was the overarching factor in it.
Yeah, that's...
It's all kind of disappointing.
The martial arts thing is really interesting.
He says he studied Muay Thai and Taekwondo.
Yeah, I mean he's lucky his uncle didn't actually whoop his ass.
You know?
What's this next one?
Oh my god.
Okay, so he talks about when he turned 18 he moved to Austin to be an actor because that was like the closest place to Oklahoma that was like doing casting calls and auditions and shit.
What I will give Terrence K. Williams is he is about that.
He is about that.
That was his goal.
His goal was to just have as many fans, and he achieved that.
When I learned that, I did gain some respect for him.
He's an absolute grifter.
He really has zero actual value, but I do respect that he was like, I'm going to go for it.
Um, and now has something like it.
Um, and he was bad from the beginning.
Like I said, he moved to Austin because like you said, that's the closest place.
That's where you go.
Yeah, he's like a, he's like a fame.
I respect that.
He's a fame hound.
Like he's a fame hound.
Like if you look up his credits on IMDB, he's got three credits.
If you actually like acting, if you actually enjoy acting, you can get credits in a lot of stuff.
You can do extra gigs, you can work on sets, you can do local productions, you might not be able to make a living out of it.
But you actually put in time and effort.
You can build a resume.
He's got three acting gigs and they all seem to be reactionary, conservative films.
I love that our friend Sam has more credits than Terrence K. Williams.
So the first thing he's talking about is he auditioned for a bunch of stuff or did casting calls for a bunch of stuff.
The first and only part that he mentions like being called back for or being taken seriously for is an appearance on Big Brother.
Just an appearance.
Well, like being one of the characters, being one of the people on Big Brother.
Like he auditioned to be on the, for people who aren't familiar, it's a game show.
It's like a reality game.
It's like one of the oldest reality game shows where you live in a house with a bunch of people and you're on camera all day.
It's called Big Brother.
He auditioned to be one of the contestants on Big Brother.
He didn't get it, but he got like a sub.
He got picked as like an alternate or an understudy or a sub, whatever it's called in that industry.
So he talks about how he was like followed around by handlers and like people who prepped him for the role should he need to step in.
Day in and day out, I spent significant time with my handlers.
Quote, Dude, I don't know why they didn't pick you to put you in, said one of my handlers.
That is so sad that you didn't get to make it, but your personality is amazing.
You are going to be a star one day.
I can see it, he assured me.
Within a week, these words came true as I went viral with my first Facebook Live video.
Holy shit.
Holy shit.
This is it.
This is the jump off.
So this is like, this is a case of bad writing.
I mean, he's a bad person too, but it's a case of like bad... Terrible writing.
It's a case of bad writing where he's like, oh, I met all these people and all these people told me, uh, Terrence, your laugh is so infectious.
Terrence, you're such a funny person.
Terrence, your personality is so great, but other people didn't see it that way.
And it's like, nothing in these...
Nothing in these words and this in nothing like none of these anecdotes let alone the writing style indicate that you're anyone interesting whatsoever.
I mean, I don't know what you're bringing to the table my man.
I mean your backstory is like heartbreaking and like that is interesting to a certain degree but what you're personally like putting into this is non-existent.
But again, the handler.
Hey, these handlers, they see a lot of people.
They handle a lot of people.
And he knew that I was something special.
This unnamed handler.
Well, the handler also told me that their dream job is to be a talent scout.
So like, it meant more than just like a hint.
Because that means nothing.
That means zero.
Hey man, I don't know if you knew this, but the bouncer lets me in every time.
Like, let me get a job.
Okay, I got these, uh... There's some... Some of these screenshots are a little... Nah, they're not out of order.
I just skipped a bunch of shit.
Um... He's talking again about high school, and this is just a brief thing that I thought was interesting.
Um... Terrence, I don't usually tell people like this, and I don't want you to take it the wrong way.
My teacher said, you go to college and do whatever you're planning on doing, but do not waste your time behind a desk.
You have a personality that needs to be out in front of the world.
I considered her words as I packed up my stuff and prepared to attend Rose State College.
My adoptive family emphasized getting a college education.
I loved learning, so college seemed to be a natural next step for me.
The college had a program that allowed me to go to school tuition-free for two years, so I capitalized on that.
And see what that's called, that's called taking advantage of an opportunity.
People don't realize this, okay?
Everybody has opportunities and you just need to take advantage of them.
Like, you know, some people's opportunity is like, hey, your specific school offers two years free tuition.
Take advantage of that opportunity.
Hey, your dad is a millionaire.
Take advantage of that opportunity.
No, I've been waiting weeks for this opportunity, for the paperwork, for this opportunity to go through where I can finally, through this opportunity that I decided to take advantage of, get unemployment.
That's what I'm talking about.
That's all you have to do.
All you have to do is make an effort and you can get substantially less pay for being unlawfully fired by your employer.
No, honestly, if I wasn't aware, if I didn't keep my head on a swivel, if I didn't like decide to rise and grind even on days where I don't have a job, I wouldn't be aware of these opportunities.
And I wouldn't be taking advantage of them.
But luckily, I've submitted all my information and I'm just waiting for the gears to grind over there.
And my opportunity will come to me because I took advantage of it.
If you went to school in a different state that didn't offer two years free college, that's your fault for not taking advantage of the opportunity afforded to Terrence K. Williams.
You know, in Terrence K. Williams' defense, I think that California started doing that, like, this year.
Yeah, because they're communist.
So, so, like, I haven't enrolled, so I'm, I'm kind of a piece of shit.
It doesn't, it doesn't count if you're already a podcast millionaire.
That's, that's true.
That's true.
We're gonna fast forward here, is basically what I'm saying.
We gotta fast forward through him coming to his political awareness where he makes his first Facebook Live video about victimhood mentality and he's not a victim.
And this was spurred by him seeing friends posting quote nonsense saying things like, Terrence let's move back to Africa!
And then him saying, move back, excuse me, I have never been to Africa.
I am from Oklahoma.
Why would I move back to a country that I was never part of in the first place?
It didn't make any sense.
I felt blessed to be in America, the land of opportunity.
Again, those opportunities that we're talking about.
Yet here my black friends wanted to leave the country that I was proud of to go to a land that had sold its ancestors off as slaves to make a profit.
What about the country that bought them?
Like, honestly.
There was no logic in their thinking.
They wanted handouts, yet they proposed going to a society where there would be no handouts.
This seemed nonsensical.
My friends weren't African, they were American, yet they were utterly ungrateful for the endless opportunities this country presented them.
It reminded me of my friends from the projects.
Throughout my childhood, they were always angry that the government wasn't helping more.
When the government gave them more, it was never enough.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Remember when you were talking about how hard food is to come by?
What if your mom had been in, like, an actual, like, rehabilitation program?
What if your mom had, like— Remember when you were three years old fighting your siblings over a nub of margarine?
Remember when you slept in a box, according to this story?
Like, yeah, your mom had very dramatic problems, very sincere problems.
What if the state had helped her out?
Yeah, just a little bit.
And this is another underlined passage that like, you know, dozens of people have like, highlighted in the Kindle app.
No, there's so many white people out there right now saying, I read a book by a black guy and it said this underlined part.
This victimhood mentality enslaved them to the government and the handouts that it gave.
The political party that provided the most handouts was the party that was supported.
There was no personal responsibility, just blame.
Opportunity was wasted, replaced with bitterness and feeling of entitlement.
Okay.
Ebola.
These thoughts combined with hunger drove me to hit Facebook Live while I ate my lunch in the car that day.
I was hungrily devouring my fried chicken when I read some posts on my Facebook feed that struck me wrong.
This particular day, I noticed the Facebook Live feature and decided to try it out.
I ate my chicken while speaking my mind.
I thought that the video was honest and funny, but not anything exceptional.
I expected a few friends to comment, laugh, or roll their eyes and say, that's Terrence for you.
Always giving his opinion.
I had no idea that the post would go viral.
Somehow it did.
I was shocked as I watched the number climb steadily for days as people shared it, posted it, tweeted it, and retweeted it.
My post snowballed, beginning with a few likes and shares, blah blah blah.
Many others felt the same way.
There were also a lot of haters.
I was accused of being racist for eating my lunch, which happened to be my favorite, fried chicken.
As someone that was told by the left my whole life that black people couldn't be racist, the irony was that those same people were slamming me and accusing me of the very facts that they denied.
Incredible.
He's saying innocently, I was just eating my fried chicken while I made a Facebook Live video.
This is something that you love to do while you're making a video is eating food.
And I wasn't like reviewing the food.
I wasn't talking about the food.
He didn't even want to.
I was talking about how black America was entitled crybabies while also saying, mmm, this is good fried chicken.
Well, remember, he didn't want to.
He was, like, so impassioned and also so hungry at the same time.
He couldn't, like, satiate one without the other.
It was completely organic.
It was much like when... See, that sounds like excuses.
That sounds like you're blaming somebody else for your actions.
No, see, you're thinking of it the wrong way.
It was much like when a young man in Harlem was innocently walking by his turntable and he knocked it.
And he heard a unique sound and just realized that if he put his fingertips on the record and move it back and forth he could control the sound and that was a birth of scratching.
I realized that if I took a chicken leg and held it up to my teeth and moved it back and forth I could make white people laugh harder than they ever had before.
It was like a bow to a violin.
They just loved it.
They ate it up.
yeah it was like they just loved it they ate it up it was magic pure shock I don't know I don't know why yeah okay The interesting thing was that my post hadn't been political.
I didn't mention either party.
I didn't say the words conservative or democrat.
I just stated my way of common sense thinking.
And this resonated with people on both sides.
And this is, again, funny to me.
I wasn't talking politics.
I didn't even say the word democrat or republican.
I was just talking about how black mothers are a leech on this system.
Yeah, yeah.
Had nothing to do with politics.
Yeah.
I talked about my internal hatred of poor people.
I did a 20 minute indictment on the wick to crack pipeline.
Um, yeah, he, he rails on and on about, uh, the democratic party for speaking out.
I was called a racist, a sellout, a tap dancer for the white man and worse for simply voicing my political, my personal nonpartisan ideas.
I questioned the status quo and was raked across the coals for it by Democrats.
It's funny because if you've heard Terrence K. Williams speak, if you've heard him talk in any of the videos we've covered or just in your travails across social media, this writing style is very different than the way he talks in the video.
It really is, yeah.
And if you... I don't have any excerpts before me immediately to read, but the quotes from his mother, when he writes in his mother's voice, is very similar to the way he talks on social media for white people.
It's very interesting.
He writes his mother like I didn't do nothing.
He writes his mom like that.
That's really interesting.
He writes his mom doing double negatives and slang and whatever.
His writing style is not like that at all.
No.
There's none of the, like, colloquialisms or the turns of phrase that he uses on... And it's interesting when he... His writing style is good in the sense where it's like a 5th grader who writes like a 8th grader.
Like, it's good.
It's good.
It's like, does the job.
Um, but it's just so empty and there's so many words that are just like to make a count.
To make like, to make the word count go up.
It's, the writing is brutal.
Yeah it's well it's brutal but it's also very like stilted and uh proper yes a lot of proper language in this admonished to use the word my instructor admonished me with a stern glance like what you've never said any of those words on your live videos Okay, we're running long, so I'm gonna move us along here.
I had been banking on Big Brother, but I realized that in not giving me that show, God gave me something better.
He gave me a brother and mentor in Sean Hannity.
So yeah.
God gave him Sean Hannity to be friends with.
Yeah, a brother and mentor in Sean Hannity.
They're buds?
They're bros, dude.
They hang out?
When he got into his car accident, he talks about how God gave him the opportunity to get neck surgery because Sean Hannity recommended a qualified surgeon who could repair his broken neck.
Like, this whole book is about him taking the opportunity of being extremely lucky at every turn.
That Sean Hannity randomly befriended him and was like, yeah, I'll pay for your fucking broken neck surgery.
This is the thing about Terrence K. Williams though is like, I gotta remember, I can't just think about Terrence K. Williams now, I gotta think about Terrence after the car accident where he decided he needed to do a Facebook Live
Um, in response to, in response to the gay wedding cake, um, while eating the chicken, um, after the, after the car accident, and you can hear the wires from his, the wires popping from his broken jaw, um, and it's the most raw, I think it's the most raw verse I've ever heard from Terrence K Williams.
Who's that guy?
That's Kanye West!
That's Kanye West!
Well, that's a combination of a DMX story and a Kanye West story.
But yeah, it's those two.
I was like, wait.
No, I've heard this before.
Yeah that's the Through the Wire song, the actual song, and then when DMX ran into Russell Simmons with a broken jaw.
That's those two combined.
That's Terrence K. Williams right there.
It's TMX and Kanye.
Okay, he's talking about his Facebook profile.
I would post the threatening or hateful messages I got, along with a brief message where I snap back in a humorous way.
Instead of being protected from those harassing and intent on harm, these platforms responded by censoring me.
Despite this, my audience grew, eventually reaching followers in the millions.
I was humbled and grateful that so many Americans and people all over the world would connect with me through my pages.
So I'm going to go ahead and do So yeah, I was beset on all sides by persecution, including Facebook, who would censor me and punish me by giving me more followers.
They burdened you.
They would burden you with more followers.
Let me get that monkey's paw.
Each person that follows me is a blessing.
I am still in awe that so many people listen to what I have to say and laugh along with me in my posts.
One day I noticed Laura Trump was following me and my jaw just about hit the floor.
Oh my god.
Alex, that's not cool.
Alex, that's not cool.
You can't read that.
That was racist.
I nearly had a heart attack, or maybe it was heartburn from overeating fried chicken.
But either way, I was stunned.
I reached out to her, thanking her for following me and expressing how much it meant to me.
You can't read that.
That was racist.
You can't read that passage.
You can't read the heartburn passage from the fried chicken.
It wasn't from dehydration because I had been eating watermelon all day.
Are you taking liberties with the text?
Nope.
These are... This mother... God damn it.
Okay, sorry.
This guy.
Um, when I read this, I was like, who the fuck is Laura Trump?
Which one is that?
It's, uh, it's Eric Trump's wife.
So she's a Trump-in-law.
She's not, she's not a real Trump.
She's a Trump-by-ejection.
She was the... Okay.
Yeah, dude.
I made a face that no one can hear that made it funny to me, but no one can hear that face, so...
He did the tongue out face like, yeah bro!
I couldn't express how much it meant to me that possibly the smartest Trump son, except for Barron's wife, followed me on Twitter.
Um, on a visit to New York, I reached out to her, thanking her for following me and expressing how much it meant to me.
On my visit to New York City, I reached out to many friends and acquaintances to meet up.
Most were too busy or blew me off.
Laura Trump and Lynn Patton cleared their busy schedules to take me to breakfast.
This spoke volumes to me about their character.
I had actual friends there that were too busy to meet with me, yet Laura and Lynn, who are both incredibly accomplished and who maintain rigorous work schedules, carved out time to meet me.
We had breakfast together and I was in awe of the kindness and care they demonstrated.
And this to me is very reminiscent of our episode on Safe Spaces, No Safe Spaces, which is a movie all about people complaining about other people who don't like them.
And here we have Terrence K. Williams saying, it was a mark on their character that they chose to hang out with me.
It showed what good people that Laura Trump and Lynne Patton were that they had lunch with me.
Yeah, which brings me to the next point.
I think that I really want to hold them to the fire.
I think it's fucking bullshit that the Inland Empire Tea Party has not invited me to be a guest speaker at their luncheons.
I think they're cowards.
I think, well, I think they're communists for not allowing your free speech to flourish in their spaces.
They're for sure communists.
Um, and it's just, it gets back to this point about conservatism.
I mean, obviously being about like very selfish political goals.
It's hard to even talk about politics in terms of selfishness because it seems to be like the antithesis of politics to a certain degree.
But, insofar as what their goals are, they're very selfish and individualistic, and it's just laying it out for everyone to see, oh, you're a good person if you like me.
If you choose to hang out with me and humor me, then you have good character.
Yep.
If you say, like, if you roll your eyes at me, or if you say, I don't fucking care about what you have to say, then you're a bad person.
You're a leftist.
If having Laura Trump follow me on Twitter gave me heart palpitations, then getting the news that I was invited to an event at the White House for National African American History Month just about left me dead.
I couldn't believe it.
I was going to the White House.
He talks about getting into a car accident.
Him being invited to the National African American History Month at the White House.
Once again, very important that he was invited to Trump's edition of the National African American History Month event.
He yeah, he gets he gets fucking murked in a car.
He slams his head into the fucking windshield or whatever Hey, can I ask you a question?
I need some actual advice from someone who I trust and admire I was recently I received a DM from the the Redlands deputy sheriff Jesse something Martinez Jesse Martinez Hey Artie, good sign.
He asked me if he can give my email address so he can invite me to the MLK ceremony they're gonna have.
To see if I want to speak at the MLK ceremony with the cops.
He knows rightfully that MLK was a socialist and thought he might invite a relevant person.
Isn't that wild?
Did that really happen?
Yeah, that really happened.
Part of me wants to do it, but I can't find an actual transcript of one that's good enough.
I kind of want to do it and really read an MLK socialist speech.
It's at a police function?
It's at a Redlands function that the police commissioner, like the police deputy sheriff invited me to.
So that's why I don't trust it.
I'm not, I didn't respond to him.
I'm not going to give him my email.
That's like a really easy email to figure out.
Um, but that's, that's like the fucking, you want a free boat scam in the Simpsons where the cops get you to show up.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I wouldn't go, dude.
I'm not going to respond, let alone go.
It seems more than a little sus.
But what I'm saying is maybe I could make a Facebook video and pop after this like Terrence.
I want to be like Terrence.
Dude, if you went to that event and said, I have seen the courage and generosity of Redlands Police Department, and I am no longer a socialist podcaster.
Uh, yeah, you could, I'm sorry.
All while eating actual chicken?
Yeah, I'd probably fucking own.
I would never have to work again.
And yeah, you could denounce being a soy boy at the same time.
Yeah.
I need that real ass meat.
Eating actual chicken.
Sorry, I'm trying to get gains.
Okay, so Terrence K. Williams literally breaks his neck in the car on the way to speak at the White House for National African American History Month, which is a sign from God that everything's going good, buddy.
Stay the course.
I think so.
Do your thing.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Hannity immediately took action introducing me to the best surgeon in the state who would operate on me fixing my neck and spine and inserting a metal screw for stabilization.
The surgeon was amazed that I wasn't paralyzed and I praised God for that miracle amid the accident's mess.
I was so blessed by Hannity.
I'd looked for consistency in other people Like my mom, but instead Hannity showed up and he was my friend now and that's why I'm a fucking conservative is because rich people paid attention to me.
Sean Hannity's my mom now.
Other people showed up for me, too.
Laura and Eric Trump stayed in contact, sending gifts and well wishes.
Donald Trump Jr.
reached out through social media, making sure that I was okay.
Oh shit, dude.
He's reached out on social media saying, sup.
I would die.
I would die just to get sick so that Terrence can tell me to get better.
Uh, finally, Dinesh D'Souza and his wife, Debbie, encouraged me and provided wisdom.
So, I would say follow that.
Follow whatever advice Dinesh D'Souza gave you.
It's probably good stuff.
I eventually got to meet Sean Hannity in person and thank him for his friendship and support.
We sat and shared pizza together, catching up before he extended another generous invitation.
Player move.
He was appearing at an event for turning point USA and invited me to speak to speak briefly on stage with him.
He told me that I had better say something good, but instead of using the time to share jokes, I took the opportunity to thank him on stage for all that he had done for me.
This is like a theme.
That's a fucking player move.
This is a theme in the latter half of this section where instead of saying, Oh, I laughed and that's how people knew I was funny was because I was laughing.
Uh, it's in the latter half, it's, oh, you have an opportunity to speak, but instead you're going to like lick the boots of whoever invited you to this event.
A little, little, little, like, uh, I learned this from my man, Tony Robbins.
I'm a little life, life hack, a little pro tip.
Um, when someone offers to suck your dick, just suck theirs instead.
Yeah, sounds good.
It's a fucking pro move.
Um, and said, yeah, I'm using that time to share jokes, which I could totally tell because I'm really fucking funny.
If you haven't been reading the rest of this book, I totally know a bunch of jokes and I could share them.
You've gotten here, so at this point he's probably feeling pretty confident.
I took the opportunity to thank him on stage for all that he'd done for me.
Instead of stressing on the depressing turn of my circumstances, I focused on what I could change, which was my attitude.
I could choose joy and look on the upside.
I was alive and not paralyzed.
I had fans who loved and supported me, and God had gotten me through difficult times before and would do so again.
Okay, so there's a phenomenon called, well now I forget the name of it, it's called Survivor's Guild.
That's the phenomenon.
It's a fairly common phenomenon when you survive a traumatic situation or a violent situation or a deadly situation and you feel guilty for having survived it because you lived while other people didn't.
What earned you that right to do that?
And you rationalize, or you don't rationalize that, you deal with that.
Through the process.
Well, it was like coincidence.
It was, it was like, you know, it was happenstance.
You happened to be in the right place at the right time.
You survived, et cetera.
You don't need to feel guilty for that.
Okay.
Terrence K. Williams takes survivor's guilt and like throws it right out the window.
Like, no, listen, I'm, I just want to be up here and I want to change my attitude and say, Hey, you know what?
I broke my neck, but I was friends with Sean Hannity, who got me the best surgeon in the world.
I managed to have healthcare.
You know what?
And that's cool.
And I think everybody should be best friends with Sean Hannity.
And I think everybody should just, you know, get healthcare and get their broken necks fixed.
And I'm up here living it.
Why aren't they?
That's their problem.
If I ever like get in like a car accident, can you guys like just like Can everyone just like at Lizzo to to just a surgeon?
He didn't even meet Sean Hannity yet.
They weren't even actually friends.
He was just aware of him.
He was like, oh, my man's broke his neck.
I know a neck guy.
I just love this.
Just put me on.
Hey, if I ever get grievously injured, make sure that before I get surgery, we can get Lizzo to co-sign the surgeon or suggest a different one.
Yeah.
And make it public on, like, Twitter so it happens for real.
I just, like, instead of being depressed, I decided to look on the bright side and demonstrate the fact that I had been incredibly lucky within the foster care system and also within the professional world.
Hey, everybody, let's look on the bright side.
I'm inordinately successful for how little I've actually accomplished.
Yeah, I got incredibly lucky.
This is all happenstance that I got to be here.
We should all be so happy for me.
Chapter 20, Dreams Fulfilled.
Going from a foster house to the White House was an unbelievable experience.
The way that this book is formatted is that every chapter has its own chapter page.
So chapter 20, Dreams Fulfilled, is a page.
And then there's like an excerpt, you know, like a pull quote from the chapter that's on an additional page.
And that's going from the White House, going from a foster house to the White House was an unbelievable experience.
Once again, in God's perfect timing, he made a way to fulfill a dream that I had of meeting the President of the United States of America.
As a child, this dream would have been too big to imagine.
But God knows the desires of our hearts, and he gives growth to the dreams that he has planted in us.
So he's like admitting, I didn't even want to meet the, I didn't even think about meeting the fucking President as a child.
I worried more about, you know, like, I don't know, having food and a stable housing environment.
Yeah, maybe my mom not being considered flotsam and jetsam by the American government and somebody actually intervening to make all of our lives better.
And especially myself, thinking I also hated her.
But God knew that my one secret wish, remember when we talked about a monkey's paw last week on the episode about having your one heart's desire and it was getting to like run into the US Capitol and draw a mustache on Nancy Pelosi's portrait and everybody's like, oh, that's your one desire.
It's just like the wish of like a poor hungry kid.
He was like, I want powerful food.
That's what they get.
They get to have dinner at the White House with Donald Trump.
I got the news that Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA's founder and director, got me an invitation to the Black Leadership Summit which featured President Donald J. Trump as a speaker.
And it's amazing to me that Charlie Kirk was somehow, uh... Like, somehow... What's the word?
Uh... Curating?
I don't know the word!
Yeah!
Charlie Kirk was curating the Black Leadership Summit?
Yeah, because... Yeah.
I feel like you're just using words for an event now.
Because, like, that's not... I don't know how that's a thing.
I don't know... I mean, even if we... Donald Trump was...
Even like, even like the Black Conservative Leadership Summit Donald Trump's not speaking at.
Donald Trump was like, probably just like, hey, you're Charlie Kirk.
Your head looks like a basketball.
Black people probably like you.
Why don't you invite people to the Black Leadership Summit?
I was in Oz.
I walked through the hallowed halls of the White House.
I grew up being shuffled from house to house, and now I was in the home of the President of the United States.
I was where he slept.
I was in the same room.
I was where the president sleeps.
When I was growing up, houses were a big deal.
And now I was in the biggest house of them all.
I was in the very same home that Sinbad stayed in.
I love the tenuous connection to the title of this book.
When I told you earlier, I was like, man, the White House is a big deal to this guy.
It's a fucking huge deal.
I grew up playing in a rusted out Lincoln that sat in the front yard of the projects.
The section 8 building I grew up in.
And now I was playing in Lincoln's room?
What?
This is the evolution of that tweet that's like, I don't want to hear your theory if you got to go to Washington D.C.
like I don't want to hear your theory if you got to go to Washington, DC in eighth grade.
This is the evolution of that.
I didn't get to go to fucking D.C.
on a fucking school trip.
No way.
I know people got to do that and that's very cool, good for you.
But this is the evolution of that.
I didn't have that at Triumph and I had dinner there.
That's the blue blood version of getting to go to Israel as a Jew.
You get to go visit D.C.
As a nationalist you get to go to D.C.
I, uh, when I was growing up, my mom, uh, was resolute in her determination to smoke crack, and now I was standing in front of the resolute desk?
These are the same words!
That's all that was!
What?! !
There was an oval stain, there was an oval stain on the ceiling of me and my five siblings bedrooms and here I was in the Oval Office now!
This is good writing, I like it a lot.
I got to have Oval Team, and now I'm in the Oval Office.
Okay.
I also like chicken wings, and I'm in the wing of the Capitol buildings.
Sorry.
Okay, that was good.
He gets invited, you know, or Trump speaks and he invites, Trump invites Terrence up to speak with him and Terrence is like, first of all, I just want to say I love President Donald J. Trump.
The crowd went wild, applauding in agreement.
I continued, the media is attacking him, but when they attack him, they attack us because he is fighting for us and they are harassing you, Mr. President, I said, pointing to him.
So they are harassing me.
I pointed back at myself.
And it's like, again, like as a public speaker, as a comedian, as a humorist, he's got a fucking open mic and he's just like, I fucking love you, Mr. President.
Thank you so much for being my friend.
And the president followed up my remarks by saying he's something, and he's a talented, talented guy.
And when he started talking, he said, referring to watching one of my Twitter videos, I watched it once, I watched it twice, and then I called the first lady over and said, what do you think of this guy?
And that's where the anecdote ends.
We don't know what Melania thought of this guy.
She hated it.
He seems small.
He seems small.
Is he small?
Going from a foster house to the White House was an unbelievable experience.
Then, to be brought up to the President's podium and introduced by the President himself, God was showing out big time.
I couldn't believe it.
When time came to have an official photo taken with the President, I stood up straight and tall, but he still towered over me.
The photographer snapped the picture, and then President Trump said, You were a great guy, Terrence.
Very, very talented.
There's an interview with Riley Gale from Power Trip and it's Damien Abraham from Fucked Up interviewing him.
And Riley's talking about how every once in a while you'll play a venue and it's a place that loves metal but doesn't give a fuck about your band.
So you gotta kinda like work the mic a little bit.
So you go ahead and put on the mic and you're like, we're Power Trip and we smoked a lot of dope tonight!
And like the crowd will lose it and they'll be so stoked.
And they'll be like, we're power trip and we like the fucking party and the crowd will lose it.
And like, they don't give a fuck about what you're going to do, but like, they know that you like the party.
So you're good.
That is exactly Terrence's like trajectory.
He's like, So the president invited me up there so I just thanked him a bunch.
Yeah.
If you invite, I'm just gonna thank, invite me to thank you.
I'll do that.
Like, he kind of, like, subconsciously knows he doesn't actually deserve to be up there.
Like, he hasn't, quote, earned it.
I mean, you can never... Who gives a shit about being next to the president?
You can never earn that shit.
That's, like, an impossible task.
It's, like, the opposite of knowing how to just, like, actually have charisma.
There's, like, he has no charisma.
He has the opposite of that.
Well, he almost knows he's up there for a reason.
And the reason is to perform this subjugation to Donald Trump.
That's why he's there.
He's one of Donald Trump's African Americans.
Yes, absolutely.
And he knows that.
But I love that God was showing out big time.
Hey, listen.
God was there.
The big man really pulled his weight this time by letting me meet the president.
That's definitely what God is for.
He's for letting you meet the president to validate like your personal hang-ups around success.
I still imagine like Terrence being like, hey so I'd like to maybe do a song from CB4 tonight.
Can I maybe do that?
And they're like, no, no, we're, we're good.
Just, just, just, just think, just think of a broadcaster for your neck surgery.
That'd be cool.
He talks about getting, getting to meet Trump again.
Hell yeah!
Trump has him sit next to him at this ceremony.
President Trump sat down next to me and I was astounded.
How many people have a chance like this in their lifetime?
The American dream was undeniably real and I was living it.
Hell again.
Yeah.
Dude, you're like the Jackie Robinson of eating dinner with Trump.
Yeah, and we are, I guess, the angry other baseball players wanting to fight him for breaking through that glass ceiling.
Um...
No, once again, the American Dream is not about, like, I don't know, a statistically greater number of foster children being able to, like, provide for themselves or, I don't know, stay out of prison.
Or, you know, find stable income or stable living.
No, The American Dream is about you individually getting to meet the president and getting a few hundred thousand followers on Facebook.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's fucking brutal.
It's so sad.
When he sits next to Trump at this event, he says, well, he's asked to introduce himself and he says, well, I am comedian, Terrence K. Williams.
So he's going to like say a joke here, right?
Because he's a, he's a professional comedian.
Well, I'm a comedian, Terrence K. Williams, and I am sitting next to the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln.
Man, this guy just loves a pop.
He loves to get some pop.
That would be kind of funny, I guess.
I don't think it's the right audience for that joke.
I mean, it's Trump, so it's a good audience.
Trump probably liked it.
That's the worst part about this.
Well, it wasn't a joke in that case.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
Yeah, you're right.
Yeah, you're right.
I wanted to say more, but I followed the instructions just to introduce myself.
As the introductions were spoken around the table, people became more effusive with their praise, speaking for longer and longer periods.
I felt disappointed, as if I had missed my opportunity to properly thank the President for all he had done for this country and me.
Had I known, I would have rather been sat as far away from the President as possible.
It would have been my cross to bear, but I would have... I would have done it.
I would have been able to thank the President that much longer.
I would have been able to get it off.
I love that it's just, it's another, like, black entrepreneurs or rising black stars in the Republican Party, and just everyone is just there, like, kissing Trump's... kissing the tip of Trump's dick the whole time.
Imagine if also imagine a scenario where we like tell Terrence K Williams like hey listen you actually have Five minutes instead of two So just go off Just go for it Okay, finally I'm going to read the epilogue to this book, this episode.
Hey Terrence, how you doing over there?
Are you alright?
The President of the United States addressed me directly.
I was a member's guest at a Super Bowl party at Trump International Golf Club when the president spotted me standing on my own.
It is a good thing that he is tall or he never would have seen me over the sea of party goers.
Yeah.
I was too stunned to make small talk.
He gestured to me, smiling.
Are they taking good care of you?
I nodded mutely.
If they can't take care of you, then I don't know who can.
Where are you sitting at?
Trump questioned.
I'm sitting way in the back, Mr. President.
My words gradually starting to return.
No, you aren't.
You are sitting right here with us.
The President directed.
I was in awe.
It was so surreal.
I am dying after this because there was no way to top this.
What is next?
Nothing else can be this good.
Again, just like sitting with the president.
Forget that it's even Trump.
Just like any president.
I'm fucking gonna die because I love the Mr. President so much and I'm getting to sit with him.
But also not even going for it.
The whole thing is very vanilla so far.
I couldn't say too much more.
I didn't say too much more.
I wouldn't say too much more because it is the president.
So it's not even worth it.
It would have been cooler... It's a boring story.
It would have been cooler if Terrence was like... Hey uh... Hey uh... Hey DJ.
Aliens?
What's up with aliens, bro?
You're gonna tell him about aliens right now?
That would have been cooler, but he's like... He's nothing.
He brings nothing to the table.
When the president tells you that you are sitting at his table, you don't question it.
You just do it.
I know that God is good.
God is great, but he was showing out that day.
Well he was really flexing, God was really flexing that day.
Again, God was feeling himself because he let me sit at the table with Donald Trump.
This is like, this is passing irony, this is passing the meme, it's surpassing all of that.
He literally thinks Donald Trump is a divine figure, like has a relationship.
Like, God has a direct relationship to Trump.
Like, they are intertwined.
Being next to Trump is being next to godliness.
Yeah.
A deity booped you on the nose.
This kind of thing doesn't happen to a guy like me who grew up in foster care.
No way!
It was real and it was true.
And again, like you're saying, this kind of thing doesn't happen to a guy like you growing up in the circumstances that you grew up in.
So what are you trying to say with this book?
If this can happen, if any foster child can achieve this, Then why do you say that this wouldn't happen to any other foster child?
You can't simultaneously say that you were achieving these exceptional results and then say that anybody could achieve them.
You can't have it both ways.
It doesn't work both ways.
Exactly.
You either have a genie or you have Will Smith.
You can't have both.
It was real and it was true.
It was a spur-of-the-moment invitation that I will remember for the rest of my life.
The President was so genuine and so kind.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I sat with the President, the First Lady, Melania, and Barron.
I could not believe that I would be so welcomed.
Say what you will about his politics, but the President did not have to do that, but he did.
This speaks volumes about his character.
Again, this guy liked me.
That means he's a good person.
You know what I mean like that's again.
It's such a selfish ideology And the thing is like we know the thing we know about Trump is like if you're on his side He's like charming He's gonna, like, bullshit you.
It's not gonna even be very good.
But for Terrence... It's completely transactional.
Yeah.
It's, it's... Exactly.
Any relationship he has is completely trans... Even with his own children.
It's completely transactional.
It was literally like, hey!
Hey, person sitting next to me.
You exist.
That's cool.
Alright.
That was it.
After about 20 minutes, I initiated the departure from the table.
Hold on to your hats, Tony.
This is the climactic finale of this book.
After about 20 minutes, I initiated the departure from the table.
I didn't want to overstay my welcome or intrude on the president's family time.
Mr. President, I don't want to stay too long because I know that you need to spend time with your family.
I restated, you need some alone time with your family.
Wow.
Terrence K. Williams saying something twice in a row.
I can't imagine it.
Can't imagine that happening.
That's it.
That's impeccable.
That makes no sense.
Oh come on man, we are all family here.
You are family.
We are all family.
You can stay however long you want.
The President spoke genuinely, without a hint of sarcasm or patronizing.
President Donald J. Trump said I'm his family.
So I'm his family.
Whatever the President says, it goes.
So I'm part of the Trump family now.
The president said so.
I didn't say so.
He said so.
I think that he can win the black vote if he adopted me.
It would demolish the news cycle with the headlines reading, quote, Trump adopts grown man.
Last sentence, or last paragraph in the book, I might not have given away my last name when I was first adopted, but Williams who?
You can call me Terrence K Trump.
A part of the... I can't believe that!
It's beautiful!
A part of the story that I didn't take down was when he was eventually getting actually adopted, he opted to choose to keep his last name.
He retained his last name of Williams so that he could have a connection to his family.
He didn't have a lot to remember them by, so he wanted to keep that tether to his family.
Now willing to cut that tether entirely on behalf of Donald J. Trump.
Imagine being Terrence's foster parents.
So fucking pumped.
Like, you're like, hey, I didn't expect you to take our name.
That's fine.
I get that.
I understand that.
You know?
You gotta remember where you come from.
I get that.
I love you.
It's okay.
Hey, listen, Terrence.
We love you.
This doesn't matter.
We just want you to be part of our family.
A name's a name.
We don't care.
Fast forward 11 years.
I would be Terrence K. Trump.
Yesterday.
I love him like yeah no like no I want to I want to you know keep I don't know keep a vestige of my history like you know make sure I like remember where I'm from you know I love my foster family you know they cared for me and yeah sure they like worked me on their their their newspaper route farm but that's alright you know I learned some shit while doing it and I got a work ethic from it.
Um, but actually Donald J. Trump said, Hey, there's my fella.
So now I'm changing my last name to Trump.
Yep.
That's it.
He said, I, he said, I'm like, he said, I'm like, I'm like family and I recorded it, which is good for when I go to the white house and I'm hungry and I play it back the audio and say, I can just have whatever I want here.
I love, imagine the headlines.
Imagine how liberals would, imagine how triggered liberals would be if the headlines read Trump adopts a grown man.
I mean, to be fair, I think that's more in a few other lawmakers' purviews to adopt grown men to be their boys and live with them.
But I think, yeah, liberals might flip their wig if they saw that Trump adopted a grown black boy to be his son.
Wouldn't that be something?
That really would be.
Wouldn't that prove that he wasn't racist if he did that?
The thing is, I can hear Trump saying it.
Like, oh yeah, no, Terrence, I adopted him.
He's mine now.
He's my son.
My little boy.
I want a remake of That's My Boy, instead of Andy Samberg, and who's Andy Samberg's dad in that movie?
Instead of that, I want Terrence K Williams and Donald Trump, where they're both just partying all the time, and triggering libs by being in close proximity with each other.
And supporting each other, and rising and grinding, and following a moral code.
Yeah.
That's the episode, folks.
