| Donald Trump is expected to give an address in just a few hours. | ||
| Now, the official statement we are getting from the press secretary is that this will be related to the Department of Defense. | ||
| Trump has said he wants to call it the Ministry of War. | ||
| I always jokingly refer to it as Department of Offense because it's not defense and hasn't been for a very long time. | ||
| Now, there are a few rumors circulating left and right about what this announcement will actually be about. | ||
| Now, when Trump announced he was going to give this statement today, it was a few days ago. | ||
| He announced that today there would be this statement. | ||
| Nobody knew what it was going to be on the right., they believe this was the deployment of National Guard troops into Chicago, and many liberals believe this as well. | ||
| We got a statement from the mayor of Chicago saying the people of Chicago must resist. | ||
| JB Pritzker, the governor also called for resisting, and let me just say as someone who grew up literally in Chicago, there's a reason why I left, and I welcome many of my friends from Chicago welcome the idea of the National Guard being there because regular working class people like the troops, they like police, they like firefighters, they don't like violence. | ||
| Now, on the left, what do you think is going for viral? | ||
| They believe that Donald Trump is going to announce his resignation over ailing health. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because he took Labor Day weekend free. | ||
| Yo, this is the craziest thing, okay? | ||
| I know I've been out for a little while. | ||
| I was sick. | ||
| I was sick. | ||
| It happens. | ||
| Um, came back yesterday for the first time in a long time, actually tried doing a video a couple weeks, you know, a week or so ago. | ||
| But, um, it was Labor Day. | ||
| You know, we did an event here at the Boonies, skateboarding and, uh, Labor Day weekend. | ||
| We made a bunch of pizzas. | ||
| Everyone hung out and had a good time. | ||
| Donald Trump didn't have any social media posts and wasn't seen in public. | ||
| And so the left started saying that he was dying and or dead. | ||
| It was just Labor Day. | ||
| He was likely hanging out with friends and family and relaxing, taking a real vacation. | ||
| Well, when photos emerged of Trump golfing, the left claimed that they were recycled old photos or that it showed Trump sickly and diseased, and thus this disappearance, as well as a viral rumor that Walter Reed Hospital had been shut down meant that Trump was dying, that he was ill, and was going to announce his resignation. | ||
| It's silly. | ||
| What I love about this is the photo they shared of Trump who is, you know, looking sick or whatever. | ||
| He's like pale. | ||
| When Trump puts on a spray tan, they're like, ha ha, look, he's wearing a spray tan. | ||
| When he doesn't, they're like, he's dying. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| I mean, look, Biden was sick. | ||
| Trump has some kind of vain thing. | ||
| He's an old man. | ||
| And they've already announced this. | ||
| It's possible Trump is some kind of sick, whatever. | ||
| But I doubt his announcement is related to that. | ||
| In the meantime, another viral video showing garbage bags being hucked out of the second floor of the White House has liberals screaming that they're covering up some strange, mysterious health issue. | ||
| with the president or it's just a video of someone throwing garbage that they're throwing garbage out you know what's funny is is garbage being thrown out the second story window doesn't mean anything one way or another. | ||
| Were it a bag of just food garbage from a party or Trump's medical problem, they would, if they wanted to cover it up, they'd carry it out the back. | ||
| It's probably just garbage. | ||

| Let's get into the big story right now, which is the two big rumors about Donald Trump's announcement. | ||
| Now I know, I know by the time many of you watch this, Trump will have already announced he's renaming the Department of Defense to the Ministry of War. | ||
| We think that's what's what it's going to be based on the press secretary's statements, but there are two stories. | ||
| Is Trump ill and are troops being deployed to Chicago? | ||
| But we'll start here from People magazine. | ||
| Trump hits the golf course as son Eric slams death rumors. | ||
| That's right, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Rumors that Trump had died circulating. | ||
| The president was photographed departing the White House. | ||
| for his Trump National Golf Course in Stirling, Virginia on Monday, September 1st. | ||
| according to the White House press pool, he golfed for around five and a half hours before returning home. | ||
| Trump wore a white baseball cap for the outing along with a white golf shirt and black windbreaker. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| We got this from Carol Markowitz Markowitz. | ||
| Explain to me like I'm five, people really think Donald Trump is going to resign in a press conference this afternoon? | ||
| Indeed, with one hundred thirty seven thousand five hundred posts on X titled Trump's Oval Office Address Stirs Health and Resignation Fears. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| These people truly are wacky. | ||
| Well, Tim Waltz is fanning the flames. | ||
| Here's what he had to say. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You get up in the morning and you doomscroll through things. | |
| And although I will say this, the last few days you woke up thinking there might be news. | ||
| Just saying, just saying, there will be news sometime. | ||
| Just so you know, there will be news. | ||
| You get up in the morning and you. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| There will be news sometime. | ||
| He's fanning the flames because he's making a vague statement where, of course, Trump's not dying. | ||
| I mean, maybe. | ||
| Here's the photo they're sharing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Check this out. | |
| In this post, FX Edge says Donald Trump to make televised announcement at the White House. | ||
| He's scheduled to make an unspecified announcement on Tuesday afternoon following days of rumors about his health. | ||
| See here's the thing. | ||
| These lefties put out these rumors. | ||
| Then when Trump does his normal job, I mean, it's it was Labor Day weekend. | ||
| They say, Aha, this proves it. | ||
| This is the psychotic reality that we live in at 2 p.m. | ||
| Eastern, right? | ||
| It's only noon. | ||
| And then this photo went viral. | ||
| They said, look at him. | ||
| What's wrong with the president? | ||
| He's sick. | ||
| He looks the same as he always does. | ||
| He played golf for five hours. | ||
| It's just a photo from far away. | ||
| My favorite is excuse me. | ||
| This video, this photo comes out and you notice they cropped out Trump's granddaughter who many people on the left were saying this is an old photograph and they can prove it. | ||
| And they started showing different photos of Trump wearing different clothes and they said, aha. | ||
| And then at least there were some liberals who were like, guys, the first photo you're claiming is from, you know, six, seven years ago shows Trump's granddaughter as a little girl. | ||
| And the photo from today shows her as a teenager. | ||
| Clearly, they're different photos. | ||
| But this is the world that we live in now. | ||
| Newsweek says. | ||
| Donald Trump's going to make a televised announcement and what to know. | ||
| Okay, well, here's what it is. | ||
| Carolyn Levitt said the president will be making an exciting announcement related to the Department of Defense. | ||
| Trump's been saying for a while he wants to call it the Ministry of War. | ||
| The ministry. | ||
| They say false rumors that Trump had died began circulating on social media on Friday after some noted he had not been seen in public for several days after attending a cabinet meeting on august 26. | ||
| He also had no public events over Labor Day weekend. | ||
| What I love about getting sick is that I got sick and people were jokingly saying proof of life. | ||
| Oh no, what happened? | ||
| I got sick. | ||
| Here's what happened.ed to me. | ||
| Uh, someone already rumbled ranted, Tim, no more three events in a row. | ||
| Well, that was basically what happened. | ||
| So, uh, a virus was going around, everyone got a little sick. | ||
| Normally, it's no big deal. | ||
| Was off a couple days. | ||
| Next day, uh, you know, I was like, you know what? | ||
| I'm feeling better enough to work. | ||
| So I popped some ibuprofen and worked and then did a live event. | ||
| Then I started losing my voice. | ||
| Did a lot, you know, missed work a couple days, was getting sick, kept working. | ||
| And then it got so bad I ended up in the ER. | ||
| True, it did. | ||
| Uh, viral pharyngitis. | ||
| Basically, my throat was swollen. | ||
| And so I gave them some steroids that lasted. | ||
| about a week or so, and then my throat was injured. | ||
| So I couldn't do anything. | ||
| I was feeling pretty good. | ||
| I was walking around and doing stuff, but I couldn't talk, and that took me out. | ||
| Donald Trump maybe got sick, you know, he had a cabinet meeting, viruses going around, he got the sniffles on, get and take a few days in bed, and then they say he died. | ||
| Take a look at this. | ||
| So 158,000 ex posts, including the phrase Trump is dead, and 42,000 stating Trump died, had been made as of 7:48 Easter time on Saturday. | ||
| According to the platform's analytics, some continued posting with the rumor, though engagement dropped after Trump was pictured heading to the golf course in Virginia on Saturday. | ||
| According to the schedules by the White House, the presidential press pool will be in attendance during the president's announcement. | ||
| They say the lack of detail in the schedule prior to Levit's statement had prompted speculation on social media. | ||
| Despite Trump addressing rumors about himself on Sunday night. | ||
| Some continued to question the nature of the announcement, with some suggesting it could be related to a possible resignation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| Never felt better in my life, Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, in response to a post from a mega influencer who claimed the media freaks out if he disappears for twenty four hours. | ||
| Well, I'll tell you why they freak out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's because everybody's views are down. | |
| We're in the offseason and it's summer. | ||
| So everybody's seeing a traffic decline. | ||
| This happens after every presidential cycle. | ||
| People are burnt out or they just, it's not so much about burnout, but the stakes aren't there. | ||
| They might care about politics a little bit, but combine that with congressional recess in August and ain't much going on. | ||
| So views take a hit and without Donald Trump to scream about, liberals are in trouble. | ||
| Many of you may have noticed since I was. | ||
| sick over the past three weeks, Sam Cedar did not make a video about me and his views are down twenty percent and his subscribers seventy five percent. | ||
| You see what happens? | ||
| Now the man won't stop talking about me, so when I get sick and I'm out of work, he has nothing to talk about. | ||
| But you know, he probably shed a tear of joy when I returned to work. | ||
| The same thing is true for Donald Trump on a larger scale. | ||
| The media's freaking out and these liberal commentators are freaking out because if Trump actually goes away for any reason, they have nothing to say. | ||
| They have no way to generate traffic or content if Trump is missing and then they can't make money. | ||
| So what do they do? | ||
| They make it up. | ||
| If Trump is on vacation or hanging with family for even a couple days, they have to go for the dear God, please help me. | ||
| I need clicks on my YouTube videos. | ||
| So they call him dead. | ||
| And that is shocking enough fake news manufactured to keep those addicted to the Trump cycle watching the news about Donald Trump. | ||
| Me on the other hand, I launched a new channel so that if you like for the people who watch the news stuff, they can watch this channel and they can watch the news and then I can just talk about whatever is completely unrelated to it. | ||
| You know what you don't want to do, be it any social media platform, is if you've got two different of stuff going on in one place, then your audience is split. | ||
| So for the people who like the news, the politics, you can watch this channel. | ||
| And then if I want to talk about video games or anything else, I can put on a different channel so the people who like that can watch that too. | ||
| But these people were panicking because without Trump, without their bread and butter, they're cooked. | ||
| Now let's talk about what's going on with this garbage bag mystery because it's going real viral. | ||
| Take a look at this. | ||
| The anti-Trump subreddit. | ||
| What is actually happening right now at the White House. | ||
| It's a video taken by a person who spotted a White House official disposing of mysterious items at the top window of the White House. | ||
| What is happening? | ||
| I think Trump is gravely ill and they're covering it up. | ||
| That's a non sequitor. | ||
| Let me just try this again, my friends. | ||
| Throwing garbage away is in no way evidence of anything related to Trump's health. | ||
| They're just throwing garbage. | ||
| Have y'all never done that? | ||
| I mean, I'm not saying it's the most responsible thing ever, but I've had cleanups at houses where we're on the second floor and we just will toss the garbage down to the first floor. | ||
| It's a bag of garbage cans. | ||
| You know, we'll have like soda cans and pizza boxes and we're on the second floor because we had a party and we'll be like, hey, we're going to bring this to the dumpster. | ||
| And so we'll we'll drop them out the window. | ||
| It's not like the most common thing in the world to be completely honest, probably not the most responsible, but not all that disconcerning. | ||
| Now let's be real. | ||
| Like if you're in Chicago or whatever, maybe you don't want to be chucking out the window, but like in rural areas. | ||
| Yeah, we've had garbage bags and we're like, we're going to put a pile outside and it's like pizza boxes. | ||
| So what? | ||
| Now, now, how do you get from there to Trump is dead? | ||
| Here's this. | ||
| Totally not a body double. | ||
| All that golf made him lose weight. | ||
| Trump notably lost weight in the past several months that people were talking about it. | ||
| Okay, Trump is dead trending on X and it says, Where's Peto? | ||
| And it's Trump as Waldo. | ||
| False report Trump pictured heading to play golf. | ||
| Thank God. | ||
| Now they're going to claim it's fake. | ||
| Thanks for ruining hundreds of millions of people's day. | ||
| Heard that was old footage. | ||
| Look at that first comment. | ||
| Thanks for ruining hundreds of millions of people's day crazy. | ||
| That's weird. | ||
| But what's going on with this garbage? | ||
| Here's the video. | ||
| I don't know what that's music. | ||
| That another one. | ||
| Let's see it. | ||
| Right now, yep, there goes a garbage bag. | ||
| What am I supposed to say about that? | ||
| The why they're throwing garbage bags out of window. | ||
| The worst thing I can say is probably not the most responsible thing depending on the garbage. | ||
| I'll say it again. | ||
| I mean, for most of you, if it's pizza boxes, maybe it's a bunch of McDonald's rappers and Taco Bell or something, and it's just like, it's not going to break open. | ||
| It's just food waste. | ||
| So they threw it out the window. | ||
| Maybe don't do that, I guess. | ||
| Anyway, is there news today? | ||
| The Daily Mail says a mysterious video showing an object being thrown at the upper level window of the White House is going viral. | ||
| The video in fact is not mysterious in any way. | ||
| It's actually fairly normal social media video. | ||
| The object isn't mysterious either. | ||
| It's a garbage bag. | ||
| The clip circulating online didn't have any context. | ||
| The White House confirmed the Daily Mail. | ||
| The video was indeed recent. | ||
| An official said the object was thrown up by a contractor who was doing regular maintenance while the president was gone. | ||
| The president was out of the Wh west, plus they're doing the renovations. | ||
| So Trump's golfing and some guys throwing away some like, you know what, it's probably like boxes from the hardware store, you know, like just product boxes. | ||
| Unverified rumors circulate surrounding President Donald. | ||
| Oh, heavens me, dude. | ||
| Heavens me. | ||
| What Donald Trump photos show amid health speculation. | ||
| Here's this photo, images of Trump. | ||
| They say Trump is 79 by the end of his term will be the oldest U.S. president in history, meaning that even a short absence from public duties will be scrutinized. | ||
| It's understandable given the questions by his predecessor Joe Biden faced about his fitness. | ||
| You know, I think that's fair. | ||
| A reasonable, normal question about Donald Trump's health, I think is totally fine. | ||
| The dude is 79 years old. | ||
| I just think it's silly to be like, he's dead, especially when he's going golfing. | ||
| Guys, three days he's going golfing. | ||
| The left wants him to be dead. | ||
| That's the crazy and creepy and disgusting thing. | ||
| They want to say a TikTok from progressive commentator Harry Sisson discussing and dismissing the rumor racked up nearly two million views. | ||
| On Saturday, rumors of Trump's demise were shown to be exaggerated as he was seen before heading to play golf. | ||
| Yes, but I'll stress this again. | ||
| They claimed this was an old photo. | ||
| I even we even just hav have it right here, right? | ||
| Someone says, I heard that was old footage. | ||
| I did as well. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What is wrong with these people? | |
| You know, I want to believe that it's fake. | ||
| They're bots. | ||
| They're not real people, but they are. | ||
| Saturday's golf outing was debunked yesterday. | ||
| Trump did not go golfing yesterday, full stop. | ||
| No, verified via Getty images last two days on the golf course were taken in June. | ||
| Verified ambulance in motorcade speeding to Walter Reed Friday morning. | ||
| Hashtag dead dawn is trending worldwide. | ||
| So these posts started to pop up. | ||
| Actually, I did have them. | ||
| Let me see if I can grab those. | ||
| People were claiming that Walter Reed, I think I have this posts, that the roads around Walter Reed had been shut down. | ||
| They weren't, it's a lie. | ||
| People are making things up and posting fake photos, and they're literally just showing off traffic. | ||
| Let me see if I can find this one. | ||
| Walter Reed Roads dot com dot I'll pull that one. | ||
| Why are the roads around Walter Reed closed? | ||
| Is this the right one? | ||
| So this is from yesterday night. | ||
| Let's pull it in, baby. | ||
| So this guy says he's the main wonk with 87,000 followers. | ||
| He says, Why are the roads around Walter Reed closed? | ||
| And he posts this image. | ||
| And it shows, indeed, road closures. | ||
| It Looks like Apple maps. | ||
| Actually, Rockville Pike is open, and it looks like there's congestion, maybe. | ||
| We have a community note. | ||
| Walter Reed is located within the Naval Support Activity Bethesda Military Installation, and there is no public access on Wood Road. | ||
| The base's visitor control center lists the requirements to enter. | ||
| The alerts page shows no related closures. | ||
| You are just spending all your time trying to find some breaking news, and even if you do, no one will remember who you are, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| Look at these responses. | ||
| Doesn't even look like him. | ||
| Neck is way fatter than usual. | ||
| Reverse image search dates those picks back to July. | ||
| Bad news for the USA, Trump is alive. | ||
| I mean, what could be better on this lovely holiday weekend? | ||
| Holy smokes. | ||
| Newsweek has all the stories basically pointing this out. | ||
| Donald Trump photographed on Labor Day amid baseless rumors. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| Baseless rumors. | ||
| What's this one? | ||
| Donald Trump responds to viral health rumors. | ||
| Oh boy, he said, Never felt better in my life. | ||
| The president wrote in a truth social post, indeed. | ||
| Well, my friends, I think I have this story that we can talk about related to it. | ||
| Here's what I think is the most disconcerting about all of it. | ||
| Woman charged with threatening to kill Trump released by Judge Bosberg. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| These people that are going online and saying Trump must be dead or dying, it's because they want him to be. | ||
| Now I ask you this. | ||
| For your comments, to comment Where are we as a nation? | ||
| You know, it's funny, I was sick when Trump announced that they may deploy the National Guard into nineteen cities, of which Chicago is a big target. | ||
| I was out. | ||
| But I will say this, it's fascinating to me that, you know, when I speculate or make predictions, they're usually very weak. | ||
| I rarely do I come out and say things like the lottery numbers will be seven, thirteen, fifty one, twenty. | ||
| No. | ||
| I usually say things like, wow, look at this news story where X thing happened. | ||
| If this thing happened, it's possible that we're going to see this other thing happen. | ||
| And then they do. | ||
| If they don't happen soon enough, the left says I get all my predictions wrong. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| And sometimes I'm wrong. | ||
| But what did I say? | ||
| I said this a couple years ago or a year and a half ago, and is it two years now? | ||
| If Donald Trump gets elected, one of the big catalysts for an escalation into civil strife, potential civil war, whatever it may be, is that Trump dispatches National Guard into jurisdictions that resist. | ||
| And then the possibility is that National Guard must choose between their home and their government. | ||
| And that's a tough choice to make. | ||
| What are we seeing now? | ||
| Well, there's a big rumor among the left and the right that Trump may be announcing today at two PM that he will be deploying the National Guard into Chicago because of the crime. | ||
| And oh boy, is there crime? | ||
| I don't know what's going to happen. | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| Maybe I'm wrong about everything. | ||
| But I ask you this woman that was released, she was threatening to end Trump's life in very specific ways. | ||
| And Boseberg says, Yeah, well, you know what? | ||
| She can't do it. | ||
| Huh? | ||
| Remember that fat guy? | ||
| That big fat guy? | ||
| He was an elderly obese man who couldn't walk without assistance. | ||
| And the DOJ under Biden raided his house and they killed him because he had made threats against Joe Biden. | ||
| Let me pull this one up and show you the contrast. | ||
| I think it was a threat against Utah man, twenty twenty three. | ||
| Let's compare and contrast. | ||
| Utah man suspected of threatening Joe Biden shot and killed as FBI served warrant. | ||
| First, I don't care if it's Biden. | ||
| I don't care if it's Trump, Obama, Kamala, if she ever went. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| Don't threaten the president. | ||
| We don't play those games. | ||
| Don't play those games. | ||
| This guy should not have been doing that. | ||
| Here's the story. | ||
| An armed Utah man accused of making violent threats against Biden was shot and killed by FBI agents. | ||
| Special agents were trying to serve a warrant on the home of Craig Delu Robertson. | ||
| He was armed at the time. | ||
| Now, okay, okay. | ||
| He's seventy four, walked with the aid of a hand carved stick, likely had no real capability to carry out any of his threats. | ||
| But here's the difference. | ||
| They were serving a warrant for his arrest, and he was armed and wouldn't back down. | ||
| At least that's what is reported. | ||
| She got arrested, she didn't fight the cops, so it is different. | ||
| But let me just stress still the differences. | ||
| Neither of these people presumably could carry out the threats. | ||
| That's what's been reported. | ||
| This lady certainly had better chances at doing it than the old man, and they went to his house armed and shot and killed him. | ||
| Was there not a better way to handle this? | ||
| This lady's being released. | ||
| She's being released. | ||
| She says she was going to get a bladed weapon, you know, and then describe in great detail what she would do. | ||
| And this is what you end up with in this country. | ||
| She gets arrested and she gets released, but under Joe Biden, they come to your house. | ||
| armed and shoot and kill you because you're a threat. | ||
| To be fair, the man was armed. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| It's not one for one. | ||
| He shouldn't have. | ||
| I'm just saying, a guy in the middle of nowhere who can't do all that much, there's other ways to handle this stuff. | ||
| But this is where we're currently at. | ||
| You also had another story where a woman tried running over a border patrol agent. | ||
| This, of course, following like the Ziz cult and all of this crazy violence that's been going on. | ||
| My friends, I ask you where we are as a country when you have this degree of political, I don't know, psychopathy. | ||
| They want Trump dead. | ||
| There have been attempts on Trump's life. | ||
| They routinely threaten Trump's life. | ||
| Several people have been arrested for threatening Donald Trump. | ||
| And then they go online onto these forums and they say he must be, he must be dead. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| I hope it's true, they say. | ||
| Now you've got to put people like that on a watch list, don't you? | ||
| And I'm not a big fan of that, but I'm like when someone says they hope for death to the president, yeah, I think it's reasonable to say we're to keep going to keep an eye on you. | ||
| I'm not saying illegally search or seize or arrest or anything like that. | ||
| Don't violate their Fourth Amendment rights. | ||
|

|
But just, you know, make a mental note. | |
| This person said this. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Maybe he'll get his Noble Rest in Peace Prize. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| Attention, as he takes a day off for medical treatments and everyone notices. | ||
| One thing that people have been talking about is that Donald Trump has had these blood marks on his hand and they believe it's from IV treatment. | ||
| I'm going to say it like this. | ||
| Trump ain't getting no special treatment from me. | ||
| He's an old man. | ||
| If he's sick, we should know about it. | ||
| They came out and talked about he's got a vein issue, chronic vein, something or other. | ||
| I forgot what it was called. | ||
| And I said, okay. | ||
| And they said it's a common condition in elderly patients and Trump is seventy nine. | ||
| I think this is serious, right? | ||
| I don't mean serious and he's sick or he's going to die. | ||
| I'm saying it is a serious matter if the president is ill and we want him to be better. | ||
| That includes Joe Biden. | ||
| Unfortunately for these far left lunatics, Trump is going to give me a statement and doesn't appear to be dead. | ||
| So my big concern is where we go. | ||
| go as this bifurcation only gets worse. | ||
| But the other rumor, my friends, Chicago, the troops. | ||
| We're going to be joined by Larry Elder in a moment to discuss the issue of crime, the National Guard, talk about flag burning and a bunch of these issues that I missed. | ||
| He's a smart guy. | ||
| So smash that like button, share the show with everyone you know. | ||
| That will be coming up at 4 p.m. at youtube.com slash Timcast and rumble.com slash Timpool. | ||
| Again, 4 p.m. | ||
| For everybody else watching this pre-record, thanks for hanging out. | ||
| Stay tuned. | ||
| More segments to come, and we'll see you all in the next segment. | ||
| For those of you that are watching live still, here's the story we got from Mediaite. | ||
| Joe Scarborough calls on JB Pritzker to seek Trump's help to stop Chicago crime. | ||
| Well, you've lost MS now, MSNBC, I guess. | ||
| But this is the rumor that's been circulating that Donald Trump will be deploying the National Guard into Chicago. | ||
| And as someone who spent 23 years, I left formerly when I was 23. | ||
| That's when I really moved out. | ||
| I've been back periodically since someone who spent 23 years of his life growing up in this city, literally in the city. | ||
| And oh boy, dude, these leftists really just lie to try and win brownie points. | ||
| I say, please, please, Donald Trump fix my city. | ||
| You know what's funny is what these liberals have been doing. | ||
| They say Tim Poole's not from Chicago. | ||
| He's from several hours outside of the city. | ||
| This is, it's, it's, it's, these people are evil, is absolutely wild. | ||
| Let me just tell you, I grew up near Archer and Cicero. | ||
| It's the city's southwest side. | ||
| It's a really working class area, a lot of firefighters and police because it's cheap. | ||
| And you have to live in the city if you're going to work for the city. | ||
| In this area, there is gang violence. | ||
| We had an area that was pretty bad. | ||
| I will leave unnamed where. | ||
| Where gangs, largely groups of young black males were the gangs, although we had Latin kings and otherwise vicelords, two six four corner hustlers, the popes, the disciples, a lot of Catholic gangs, I guess. | ||
| Anyway, yeah, a lot of violence. | ||
| I had friends who had witnessed corpses being dragged to the street. | ||
| I myself had been shot up, shot at, uh, randomly without reason. | ||
| Uh, me and my brother driving in our car and someone just fired at us. | ||
| The high school in my area. | ||
| I went to high. | ||
| I went there for about two months. | ||
| A fight broke out and one of the guys brought a gun. | ||
| These are common occurrences. | ||
| That's Chicago. | ||
| And because I can say that and say that's how I grew up and we shouldn't live this way, what does the left do? | ||
| They start lying and spreading rumors saying Tim actually isn't from the city, which is wild because my friends from the city work here. | ||
| And like, I go and hang out in my old neighborhood sometimes like for the holidays, but that's what they have to do. | ||
| That way, when they go to these political debates, they tell liberals, don't listen to Tim Poole. | ||
| He didn't actually grow up in the city like we did to try and discredit what I have to say. | ||
| But I have a lot to say. | ||
| So my friends, we're to be joined by, I believe you got Larry Elder in wait. | ||
| Let's bring him in and have this conversation with him. | ||
| I also want to talk about the flag burning stuff and the potential rumors that Trump will be dispatching the National Guard not just to Chicago but to other places. | ||
| So we'll boot this up. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Sounds like it's working. | ||
| Let's make sure it is. | ||
| And bring in Larry Alder. | ||
| I've been gone for a few weeks. | ||
| Larry, can you hear me? | ||
| Hear you fine. | ||
| Excellent. | ||
| Thanks for joining me. | ||
| Let me try and adjust the levels a little bit here and bring in. | ||
| How are you doing, man? | ||
| Good to hear from you. | ||
| I'm doing great. | ||
| Thank you for asking me. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| Absolutely, absolutely. | ||
| I've been out for a few weeks. | ||
| There's a lot that I want to talk to you about, but the big rumor right now, I don't think it's true, but there is something to talk about. | ||
| Donald Trump will be deploying National Guard to Chicago is the rumor. | ||
| And they say that he's going to make that announcement in an hour or so. | ||
| I don't think that's the case. | ||
| Carolyn Levit said that it's related to the Department of Defense. | ||
| But in the past couple of weeks, there's been discussion about Donald Trump sending National Guard troops to nineteen different cities. | ||
| Chicago being the most notable. | ||
| Curious your thoughts, is this fascism, authoritarian overreach? | ||
| It's called trying to do something about urban crime that nobody seems to care about. | ||
| I hope it's true. | ||
| I hope he deploys troops in places like Chicago. | ||
| And by the way, while Chicago has the honor of being the murder capital of the country in terms of absolute number of murders, it is not even close in terms of per capita. | ||
| St. Louis is worse. | ||
| Baltimore is worse. | ||
| Washington, D.C. is worse. | ||
| And Birmingham is worse. | ||
| And let me just say something quickly, Tim, about Birmingham. | ||
| Right now, as we speak, there's a man named Damian McDaniel on trial for allegedly killing 18 people. | ||
| He happened to be black, as are virtually every single one of his alleged victims. | ||
| Nobody, but nobody is talking about it. | ||
| He's on trial as we speak. | ||
| It's a big deal locally, but nationwide, nobody cares. | ||
| And the answer is nobody gives a rip about black on black crime. | ||
| If this guy gets convicted, he will be the deadliest. | ||
| mass killer in the history of Birmingham. | ||
| He did it over a period of two years. | ||
| Nobody knows his name because the media could not give a rip. | ||
| Right now, Chicago, Labor Day weekend, over 50 people shot. | ||
| I think about seven people killed. | ||
| Nobody gives a rip. | ||
| Donald Trump cares, but Donald Trump allegedly hates black people. | ||
| I thought black lives matter. | ||
| I guess black lives only matter. | ||
| if they're taken by white cops. | ||
| They're taken by other black people. | ||
| Nobody cares. | ||
| Yeah, we saw this Gallup poll a few years ago that stated in the black communities, these actual neighborhoods, they were, it was like 80 percent said, please give us more cops. | ||
| This was during the defund the police cycle or whatever you want to call it. | ||
| And I'm from Chicago. | ||
| I left for a variety of reasons, one of which largely is the crime and the corruption. | ||
| So when I hear that Trump wants in the National Guard, I can tell you right away, like my friends, my family would be like, awesome. | ||
| Maybe we don't have to worry about all of these murders. | ||
| But you know, you know what's fascinating? | ||
| You bring up nobody, nobody cares about black on black crime. | ||
| It's been a trope, it's been a joke and Sitcom, you know, Family Guy made fun of it. | ||
| I was doing some research on this and I used everyone's favorite chat GPT and asked it because we had this other mass shooting at the Catholic School and it told me that white men are the biggest perpetrators of mass shootings. | ||
| And then I asked it about Chicago, Baltimore, Saint Louis and DC. | ||
| And it's fascinating to see how Google, these AI platforms, they omit the black on black mass shootings that happen all too often that are the majority of your general mass shooting that is four or more individuals. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And then they blame white people for it. | ||
| I'm like, hold on, how are we going to solve the problem of mass shootings that the liberals claim they want to solve? | ||
| I think we want to solve too when they ignore the majority of it and claim it doesn't happen at all. | ||
| Yeah, you remember the DC sniper, those two people that were mowing down people a few years ago in Washington, D.C. Turns out they had been stopped several times by the cops, but some FBI profilers said that the likely perpetrator would be a white male. | ||
| So they were let go. | ||
| The fact is that whites are around 60% of the population, but they commit roughly 50% of the mass shootings. | ||
| Blacks are about 14% of the population, but they commit about 17, 18% of the mass shootings. | ||
| So in terms of population, whites are underrepresented when it comes to mass killings. | ||
| Blacks are overrepresented, by the way, as are Asians. | ||
| So it's just not true. | ||
| Fact is that 60% of the burglaries, the robberies, and the shootings in America are committed by black people, often against other black people, which brings us to the reason why, Tim. | ||
| The reason why is the epidemic of fatherlessness. | ||
| Even Barack Obama once said, if you're raised without a father, you're five times more likely to be poor and commit crime. | ||
| Nine times more likely to drop out of school and 20 times more likely to end up in jail. | ||
| Fact is, 70% of black kids today enter the world without a father in the home, married to the mother. | ||
| It is a massive, massive problem that neither Republicans nor Democrats are talking much about. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| I mean, I've heard a lot of the talking points, you know, the expansion of the welfare system and things like that. | ||
| But I'm curious your thoughts on why, why is it that there's so many fatherless young black men? | ||
| It's the welfare state. | ||
| You look back in 1965, 25% of blacks entered the world without a father in the home, married to the mother. | ||
| That number now has almost tripled. | ||
| If you look at the welfare state, the so-called war against poverty launched by Lyndon Johnson, and look at the amount of money that's spent and the increase of fatherless homes, they almost paralyalleled each other. | ||
| What they've done is incentivize women to marry the government and incentivize men to abandon their financial and moral responsibility. | ||
| The out-of-wedlock birth rate in the white community has also tripled since 1965. | ||
| So it's not just affecting blacks, it's affecting everybody. | ||
| And what we need to do is rethink the welfare state, but that's an unpleasant conversation. | ||
| The left doesn't want to do it because they created the problem. | ||
| And Republicans often don't want to do it because they fear that they'll be accused of racism or somehow demeaning single women who are heroically raising these boys and girls by themselves. | ||
| You know what's funny? | ||
| It's controversial, but Kanye West, the arc that he went on there were a few points he had made early on before he kind of went he's kind of gone off in a very bad direction i'll put it like that but but but here's it absolutely but here's the thing what a point he made a few points early on one was he had tweeted something like abolish the 13th amendment or or we need to abolish it and the media lied about his intention his point was the 13th amendment says in it slavery | ||
| is acceptable uh if someone's been duly convicted of any crime And he was talking about the high rates of incarceration of black people in this country. | ||
| And the media lied about it. | ||
| But aside from that point, back to the crime and the issues here. | ||
| He had made a point that these record labels were promoting gang culture and violent culture to young black men through pop music as well as degeneracy and sexual deviancy. | ||
| He had several years ago, it's maybe like 10 years ago, he was doing these Christian Sunday services. | ||
| He called it, he was trying to get people to be more involved in religion and things like this. | ||
| Unfortunately for Ye and for people around him. | ||
| He misunderstood why this was happening and where it was going. | ||
| And he blamed the Jews for why there was this culture happening. | ||
| But I bring this up because there is an a pop culture that targets young black men and women with songs and rap about being violent, being in gangs, stealing and things like this. | ||
| Do you think that culture plays a role in telling these young men who to be? | ||
| I really don't. | ||
| Most of this stuff, this gang stuff, this rap stuff is purchased by and enjoyed by white kids in the suburbs. | ||
| They're not in the kind of crime that I'm talking about. | ||
| The breakdown in the family is what's going on. | ||
| A mother and a father shield you from this kind of nonsense, tells you what your values are. | ||
| So you're not going to be infected by somebody rapping something stupid like some of these rap people do. | ||
| Look, even Tupac Chakur once said, I know for a fact, had I had a father, I would have been more disciplined, I would have been more confident. | ||
| Denzel Washington has also talked about this, talked about how he grew up in Mount Vernon, and while his parents were divorced, he had a father who was actively involved in his life. | ||
| His friends did not, and he has friends who are right now in prison. | ||
| You know, you're finding people really talking about the truth, but the media and the Democrats do not want to because they want black people to be perceived as victims in need of social justice. | ||
| And by the way, we wear the white hat in the. | ||
| fight for your social justice. | ||
| So go in there and pull that lever for us, vote for us. | ||
| That's why they do it. | ||
| That's an interesting point you make. | ||
| I didn't know that about young, it was young suburbanite white people buying this gang culture rap music stuff. | ||
| Yeah, most, most of the rap music is purchased by white people. | ||
| But these, these rappers could not get wealthy if it weren't for white kids in the suburbs buying all this stuff. | ||
| They're the ones that love this. | ||
| You know, you know why it's easy to believe. | ||
| So when Brandon Johnson got elected in Chicago. | ||
| I was everyone was talking about how the socialist mayor won and I looked at the electoral map of Chicago and unsurprisingly, it was all by race. | ||
| The white areas voted for the white guy, the Latino areas voted for the Latino guy, and the black neighborhoods voted for the black guy. | ||
| But there were numerous candidates. | ||
| So I'll clarify, the white areas voted for a white candidate, Latino for a Latino candidate, black areas. | ||
| The top three candidates in the black neighborhoods were all black, even if they weren't the front runners, which is interesting. | ||
| Now, Brandon Johnson wasn't the front runner among the black community in Chicago. | ||
| There was one neighborhood that got Brandon Johnson over the edge to win, and that was the University, the Loyola University area, where young white socialists voted for Brandon Johnson., giving him the edge and getting him elected. | ||
| In fact, it is these white, uppity suburbanites that voted for the socialist candidate who now, I don't know if you saw the video, is saying they should fight back against Trump if he deploys National Guard. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Let me say something about that. | ||
| A state senator from Illinois named Barack Obama challenged an incumbent Democrat named Bobby Rush, a former Black Panther, for Congress. | ||
| And Obama got his clock clean. | ||
| It turned out that urban blacks, poor blacks, did not vote for him, voted for the other guy. | ||
| Jews voted for him, wealthy people voted for him. | ||
| So Obama went back and redesigned his state senate district. | ||
| There's an article about this in ProPublica called Obama's gerrymander about how he redesigned his district to make it less black, more affluent, more white, more Jewish, because that's where his supporters were. | ||
| Hello. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| I mean, that's what we see. | ||
| It's the, what do they call it? | ||
| Affluent white female liberals leading the charge for a lot of these leftist policies and socialist policies. | ||
| And that's what you end up with. | ||
| And that, Tim, is why Obama has done so well. | ||
| Obama, Trump has done so well with blacks. | ||
| About 20% of black males voted for him this time because they're seeing this. | ||
| The number one group most hurt by illegal immigration are black people with high school or less living in the inner city because they have to compete against illegal aliens for jobs and the presence of illegal alien labor puts downward pressure to the tune of almost $1,800 a year on the salaries. | ||
| This was before Joe Biden allowed in $10, $15, $20 million, however many it was over the last four years. | ||
| So blacks are the most hurt by this. | ||
| Black people living in the inner city are getting a very poor education. | ||
| There are 13 government schools in Chicago where zero percent of the kids can do math and can read at grade level. | ||
| There are over 50 in Illinois altogether where zero percent of the kids can do math or can read at grade level. | ||
| So they're the ones that are most hurt by the failure to have school choice, which Democrats do not want because their number one funder typically is the teachers' union. | ||
| So the people that are most hurt by Democrat policies are the very black people that have traditionally gone in there like lemmings and pulled the lever for the Democrat Party. | ||
| Do you think if we got rid of this welfare system, it would end this or is there some kind of you know, transition period where you'd need some kind of hybrid or system or something? | ||
| Yeah, you can't just cut people off right away. | ||
| But look, at one time, things like this were handled by nonprofits, by churches, by people donating. | ||
| And when government stepped in, people began donating less. | ||
| During the Great Depression, donations shot up substantially, but then when FDR did his New Deal, donations still went up, but not quite as sharply because people felt that they gave it the office. | ||
| There's no reason to believe that if we didn't have a welfare state by government, Americans would allow other Americans to die and suffer. | ||
| We wouldn't do that. | ||
| We're the most compassionate people on the face of the earth. | ||
| We give more money than any other nation. | ||
| So that's what we would do if we didn't have the welfare state. | ||
| But by having no questions asked welfare, what you're doing is simply making things worse. | ||
| There was a poll back in 1986, LA Times 10, where people on welfare were asked, is welfare a stepping stone towards self-dependency? | ||
| Or is it a crutch that makes you dependent? | ||
| More of them said crutch than they said a stepping stone towards independence. | ||
| So these are people on welfare telling you it's a trap. | ||
| Well, now I think, you know, what's going on with Snap? | ||
| I think Trump, the Trump administration has enacted some kind of policy. | ||
| You got to have community service. | ||
| A bunch of videos started popping up where you can't buy cookies and candies anymore. | ||
| And there's videos of women trying to buy snack cakes and their EBT and things are getting rejected. | ||
| So it looks like the Trump admin. | ||
| You know, this, this, it's happening. | ||
| The culture is kind of waking up to this. | ||
| But I do want to add to, can we just, because it goes back to 1996, Bill Clinton. | ||
| change welfare as we know it. | ||
| He ran in 1992 promising to do that. | ||
| Didn't do it. | ||
| But his advisors told him, if you don't do something, you're not going to get reelected in 1996. | ||
| So he, for the first time, put time limits on welfare and what were called If you had additional children, you didn't get additional money, which was the case in the past. | ||
| Welfare roles declined by 50%, a far steeper decline than anybody predicted. | ||
| And there wasn't a corresponding increase in abortion. | ||
| A bunch of able-bodied people and able-minded people got off the couch and went to work because they had to. | ||
| And little by little, we've loosened those restrictions. | ||
| And what Donald Trump is doing is trying to put them back.. | ||
| So if you're on Medicaid and you're able-bodied, you don't have children, there's a certain amount of hours per week you have to work in order for you to continue getting benefits. | ||
| And this is a good thing. | ||
| You mentioned donations in the church and things like that as well. | ||
| I think another huge component that extends beyond the black community to this country as a whole is the loss of religion. | ||
| And I say this as somebody, I'm not a Christian. | ||
| I do believe in God. | ||
| I don't know what I am, but. | ||
| There's a word for it somewhere. | ||
| And people, you know, I'll have atheists question me and say, how would you defend that or whatever? | ||
| I say, listen, the issue that I'm bringing up is not about whether or not. | ||
| It's not about whether or not someone has faith in Jesus Christ, although I know that Christians believe that to be the most important thing or one of the most important things. | ||
| I'm not going to speak for Christians. | ||
| The issue is community that we would come together once a week and sit down with each other in the same space. | ||
| The church was the charitable arm to protect the community when it could and we had trust and faith in each other as well. | ||
| But now nobody nobody congregates and nobody meets. | ||
| And so you have across the board in this country police officers that say, listen, I don't know you. | ||
| Just go to court. | ||
| You've got criminals who say, if I steal from you, nothing bad will happen to me because I don't know you. | ||
| And this is the problem we're experiencing where people are not concerned with wronging their neighbor because there will be no social repercussions. | ||
| You know, Tim, this has been studied. | ||
| There's a book called Who Really Care is written by a guy named Arthur Brooks. | ||
| Arthur Brooks was a professor of public policy at Syracuse. | ||
| He wasn't particularly conservative or liberal, but he found out that nobody ever did a study to find out whether or not conservatives were more generous with their time, with their money, versus liberals. | ||
| He assumed the answer was going to be liberals. | ||
| So he did a whole study, got the conclusions. | ||
| got rid of all the people that did the conclusions because he didn't believe it hired another people they came with the same conclusions it turns out conservatives were far more generous with their money and their time than liberals and it turned out for two reasons. | ||
| The first is that conservatives believe that help for people should be done people to people, not government to people. | ||
| But the second factor, a more important factor, is conservatives were more likely to be religious than liberals. | ||
| Religious people give way more money, way more time than do non-religious people. | ||
| Religious liberals gave the same amount of money as religious conservatives. | ||
| There were just far fewer of them. | ||
| So it turns out that if you're more religious, you're more compassionate, you're more caring, you give more time, you give more money to people. | ||
| For that reason alone, religion is positive. | ||
| I think it's fascinating to think. | ||
| I'm going to approach this completely, just objectively. | ||
| Would Chicago rather have gang culture or Christianity? | ||
| When what you know the neighborhoods that I grew up on, I just tell you, it's very simple. | ||
| I grew up in the southwest side of Chicago. | ||
| And there were areas that we had a we had a street, 47th Street just north of it. | ||
| Everyone was black, south of it. | ||
| It was largely like white working class with some Latino and that division, whether intentional or otherwise, created two separate communities where people distrusted each other. | ||
| There were a lot of gangs. | ||
| If someone came to me and said, this is a liberal Chicago, a lot of atheists. | ||
| We want Christian missionaries to go into this and start, I'd say, oh, thank you. | ||
| Thank Heavens. | ||
| I would much rather have Christian culture. | ||
| And it's it's it's a no brainer, but it's fascinating because there are many, you know, atheist liberals who spend their days blaming religion for everything, blaming Christianity for everything, saying that Christianity is bad and that these values should be removed from government. | ||
| And I'm just wondering, have you ever been to a church? | ||
| I mean, look, you might not like what they believe or whatever, but I'd much rather have a bunch of people singing songs, clapping and being bigoted, whatever the liberals think about it. | ||
| Oh, they have bad views than gangs shooting at each other and of course Tim and you know a few years ago as you know I did a documentary called Uncle Tom where I talked about how our black community continued to grow after slavery even though there was Jim Crow even though there was a KKK 1940 87 of blacks lived under the poverty level 20 years later 1960 that number had fallen to 47 a 40 point drop in 20 years the greatest 20 year period of economic growth in the history of black America why because | ||
| it was rare for a black kid to be brought into the world without a father in the home married to the mother a strong belief in entrepreneurship a strong belief in American values even if those values were not being applied fairly to black people. | ||
| And more importantly, a strong belief in Judeo-Christian values. | ||
| Most black people went to church that has completely broken down, again, as a function of the breakdown of the nuclear intact family. | ||
| Less likely to be going to church. | ||
| Your mom and dad are less likely to take you. | ||
| And therefore, the kids are less likely to be religious and less likely to learn the kinds of values that religion can put into your brain, make you behave responsibly. | ||
| Yeah, we had a show a few years ago with Seamus Coughlin. | ||
| He's the Freedom Tunes guy. | ||
| He's a devout Catholic. | ||
| And we talked about the Ten Commandments as an objective path towards. | ||
| Now, you know, I grew up Catholic briefly, and I believe, you know, being heavily influenced in Chicago by just general liberal atheism. | ||
| Had my atheist angsty teen years. | ||
| I don't consider myself Christian today. | ||
| But I think if you look at the Ten Commandments objectively, it's a great path towards a functioning society and a good life. | ||
| Honor your parents. | ||
| Don't steal. | ||
| Don't kill. | ||
| These things, if they are taught to children and up and up and upheld by their elders and those who inspire and motivate, will bring you to a more successful culture than having no father, being told that all that matters is getting yours. | ||
| And that's what I saw when I grew up, the kids in my neighborhood who joined gangs were told, no one's going to help you. | ||
| No one's there for you. | ||
| So and you got to be hard. | ||
| So you got to take what's yours or else. | ||
| And these gangs would go to these kids and they'd say, they'd give them guns and say, go kill our enemies. | ||
| Don't worry. | ||
| You'll only go to jail till you're 18. | ||
| That's the message they were being given instead of honor your parents. | ||
| Do not steal. | ||
| Do not kill. | ||
| I would prefer that. | ||
| I would prefer these kids were told by a mentor, it's better to have faith and follow these. | ||
| Even if you don't believe these, these tenants will give you a better life. | ||
| We're losing that. | ||
| And it's fascinating that I've discussed with as many people who, again, fans of mine, they're atheists. | ||
| They just, they have a visceral reaction against Christianity. | ||
| And I say, I'm not a Christian, but objectively, look at how much better things are with these, with this worldview than the lack of. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And not only that, they're happier. | ||
| People who are religious are happier than people who are not religious. | ||
| Just like people who are married are happier than people who are not married. | ||
| And there's a reason for this. | ||
| If you don't feel that you're a victim, if you feel that you're loved by a higher power, you're much more likely to be happy. | ||
| So for all these reasons, they're more generous.. | ||
| They're more charitable with their time, with their money. | ||
| They're happier. | ||
| There are a lot of reasons to be religious beyond a belief in a higher being. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I I think too, it's purpose. | ||
| I think a lot of these young men have no purpose. | ||
| They have no sense of a mission. | ||
| And you know what I see, not with literally every religious person, and I don't just mean Christianity, but I find that many individuals who follow faith feel like they have some kind of divine task that that they're that something is expected of them from a higher power that they must fulfill and that it feels good to be on a mission. | ||
| A lot of the guys I knew growing up with, they're like, what's the point of anything? | ||
| Why am I even here? | ||
| I don't even know or care. | ||
| And then the people I knew who were religious were like, I have a mandate from God. | ||
| I must be a good person. | ||
| I must be a good leader. | ||
| I must help my community. | ||
| You know, being part of something bigger, I feel like it inspires people to be better and we are losing that as a nation across the board. | ||
| I think that's resulting in a lot of the political turmoil. | ||
| It's resulting in this, this, we have a society is becoming more and more trustless, a low trust society, they call it. | ||
| And whether or not, you know, actually, I'll put it this way. | ||
| While I do think the National Guard deployment would be a good thing, it worries me that we're at the point where we need it. | ||
| And reversing the problems that led to this request of a National Guard is not going to be related to a National Guard. | ||
| It's going to be a cultural change. | ||
| But we have this culture war going on where there's two distinct worldviews. | ||
| And one, I just, it's hard to say, but it looks objectively evil, you know? | ||
| I think it is. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, all sorts of stories people have that illustrate what you just now said about religion. | ||
| I have a friend who works at an insurance company and her boss told her that when he was a kid he was crying he was two or three years old and his father was out of his life and his mother broke his jaw Social services found out about it and investigated and didn't take him away from her. | ||
| About a year or two later, he was crying. | ||
| His mother broke his arm. | ||
| This time, social services came and took him away from her. | ||
| And he was in a series of foster homes for a number of years, angry at the world, angry at life, had no purpose, didn't care about school. | ||
| And then one time a Catholic priest came to one of the foster homes where he was staying and he said, you know, God has a purpose for everybody. | ||
| Everybody has a mission. | ||
| Everybody has a talent. | ||
| Everybody has a strength. | ||
| And it was in one ear and out the other. | ||
| He walked up to the priest afterwards and said, told him what I told you. | ||
| He said, what's my purpose? | ||
| What's my strength? | ||
| What's my value? | ||
| And the pastor priest said, don't you see? | ||
| You survived it. | ||
| You're standing here in front of me. | ||
| You survived a mother who broke your jaw, a mother who broke your arm, a father out of your life, and you're still standing here. | ||
| That is your strength. | ||
| And you must use that and show other people how to be strong. | ||
| And for whatever reason, Tim, it turned him around. | ||
| Fast forward, the guy is now a senior executive, making seven figures at an insurance company. | ||
| Had he not had that conversation, who knows how his life would have turned out. | ||
| Isn't it funny how the logic was there the whole time? | ||
| He had suffered tremendously and survived it and said, what's my strength? | ||
| And it's like, you've proven it. | ||
| You have survived. | ||
| Open your eyes. | ||
| It's right there. | ||
| I love these stories, man. | ||
| And it breaks my heart to see the wasted potential of so much of humanity. | ||
| Elon Musk talks about the population crisis. | ||
| We need more people, but we, you know, many people haven't had kids. | ||
| I recently had a kid. | ||
| It's late. | ||
| And what's always, it causes, it gives me a sadness is to see there are tens of millions, hundreds of millions of human beings of tremendous potential that struggle to reach it if not for just that single sentence that could tell them like like that story you told me you know this is gonna sound self-serving but i was telling this to my to my pastor i'm 73 years old uh and from time to time i thought about retiring i have enough uh uh uh nuggets put away i could do that if i wanted to but | ||
| i can't and i'll tell you why uh i ran for governor in 2021 i'm in an airport and this black man walks up to me he's about 35 40 years old very well dressed And he says, I cannot believe I'm meeting you. | ||
| You've changed my life. | ||
| I grew up without a father. | ||
| I was angry. | ||
| I was blaming everything on racism. | ||
| I started listening to your radio show and I couldn't stand you at first, but little by I realized you're telling me to get off my butt play the card to the best of my ability I'm now a senior executive at Merrill Lynch about a quarter of all the offices report to me had it not been for you and for the way you encouraged me I don't think I would be here and we he cried hugged me and we took pictures I mean wow I get that all the time Tim all the time and I know I've made a difference and so that that is my goal I'm very religious I have a pastor named Pastor | ||
| Jack Hibbs, who I admire a great deal. | ||
| And I do feel I have a higher purpose. | ||
| And I think it gives me a spring in my step. | ||
| I liken it to lighting that spark, the fire within people. | ||
| I feel similarly why I speak passionately about what I believe. | ||
| There are so many people that just need that hand on the shoulder and it lights them up and then they find their path. | ||
| Hopefully, If, you know, the National Guard comes in and can put a stop to this crime, crime it can create a path where people will feel safe and these these conversations can happen but we need a cultural shift if we're really going to solve these problems but uh lary i appreciate you joining me uh where can people find you uh at lary elder is my twitter handle i'm on from 3 pm until 6 p.m. live, based in Los Angeles, a nationally syndicated radio show. | ||
| Just go to my website, Larry Elder.com, and check out the show. | ||
| I've also written a bunch of books. | ||
| My last one is called As Goes California, My Mission to Rescue the Golden State, Save the Nation. | ||
| And I've done a couple documentaries, including Uncle Tom 1 and Uncle Tom 2. | ||
| So I'm available. | ||
| I write a weekly column once a week. | ||
| I've written about 1,400 columns once a week since April of 1998. | ||
| So the man has been busy. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| You're a legend, man. | ||
| I really do appreciate you joining us. | ||
| And we'll see you next time. | ||
| God bless. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Take care. | ||
| Have a good one. | ||
| You too. | ||
| Absolute legend. | ||
| He hits the nail in the head with the hammer so much. | ||
| I'll say one quick thing as we move on and we're going to be obviously sending you guys on your way to the next show, which I believe we should have Russell Brand usually, but of course, I'm just back from a few weeks out. | ||
| So, you know, the only thing I want to say is there's I'm, oh yeah, Russell Brand's gearing up. | ||
| We'll get you guys ready to go. | ||
| I'm not a religious person. | ||
| I don't follow a faith structure. | ||
| I don't follow Christianity or anything like that. | ||
| And there are people who are, you know, they accuse people in this space of being grifters. | ||
| There are some people who are were liberal atheists who converted, Russell Brand, uh, converted. | ||
| I think it's fantastic. | ||
| I'll I approach it mathematically and logically. | ||
| And I'll say it again, we are better off with a faith based Christian nation than we are with a secular atheist one. | ||
| They want to pretend that the secular atheist society is flying spaceships and, you know, the Jetsons or whatever. | ||
| There were memes when I was a teenager of what the world would be like without religion. | ||
| And it shows flying cars and all that stuff. | ||
| We are learning right now what we actually end up with. | ||
| And it is a low-trust society, violence and crime. | ||
| I'm not saying in my view that Christianityity is the perfect solution. | ||
| I'm saying where I grew up, I would much rather have the young men in my community singing choir songs in a church. | ||
| Maybe you find them to be bigoted, whatever. | ||
| I get along with those people. | ||
| Even when we disagree, it's like, okay, they're not killing people. | ||
| I would prefer that over the low trust gang and violence and crime that we ended up seeing. | ||
| So by all means, tell me you think there could be something better. | ||
| I'm not going to say you're wrong. | ||
| I'm just saying as we see religion on the decline across the board, all religions, we can see this low trust fragmenting of society, which is worrying to me. | ||
| But I'm going to get you guys on your way to hang out with our good friend Russell Brand. | ||
| I am back. | ||
| Of course, was sick for several weeks. | ||
| It was miserable, but it is absolutely amazing to be back. | ||
