turns out was that event. There's a shooting at a lawful house and theirs,
guy was incredibly heroic. Gonna talk about all of it, as was left reaction to it, because left reaction is just fully crazy like fully stupid and crazy, but before it gets any that first, I want to say thanks to our sponsors over at stamps Dotcom, so these Asian get practically everything on demand.

The Big news yesterday is that there is an awful shooting at a waffle house in Nashville Tennessee
Enzo over the blaze reports on these local and federal law enforcement turns out new the man who opened fire and it tells you off the house early Sunday morning, killing foreign injuring at least seven others. They knew
so well that he was arrested last year and had his firearms confiscated.
So you might ask. Why was this person walking
It is and lawful house and shooting people. How did he get his firearms? Well, I have the answer.
For you, the secret service and Sunday, its agents arrested the killer in July, twenty
sixteen after he was found in a restricted area near the White House. Accordingly, tennesseeans it wasn't just that he was arrested, he's arrested by the secret service near the White House, because what the hell they secret service, represented,
Hudson said he wanted to set up a meeting with the president which it turns out is not
It is up to me with the present, like really I I
how to set up a meeting with the President YO. Do it by walking up to the White House and say you ought to set a meeting with the president that doesn't intrusions like it can sixty they killer?
whose reportedly from Illinois revoked his ability to possess
firearms following his arrest in Washington, Illinois Police also confiscated for firearm from his possession, including the
fifteen he used and Sundays killing a spokesman for the national police said, takes what county Sheriff Robert Huston explained that news
in France, the when the sheriffs deputies came to confiscate the killers firearms last August, his dad was present and ass. The officers if he could take possession of firearms instead table said the Father is legally
able to possess weapons in the state of Illinois, say turned
happens over to him, which it turns out was a terrible decision
His daddy then gave the clans back to sign. So he should go
prison for criminal negligence, no question about it. Authorities here the killers, father late, return
firearms to his son have
is not immediately known if there is a tendency law that prohibited the killer from possessing the firearms. So in other words the cops knew about him. They took his gun away and then they were too.
His guns to the Father and the Father gave the Dunstan son. I dont know what law on them.
To prevent any less really because criminal negligence for the Father
you have given the guns to the sun and the sun was argue not only barred from having begun by had had his guns
taken away from him now. It's amazing about this is that there
an amazing American Herndon James Shaw Junior, whose presence Appy Waffle House,
as the shooting went on. He decided charged the shooter the shooter had now our fifteen. I hate you
the shooter anyway! So here is James Shaw. Jr speaking about this publicly, I actually went behind just like a push door, swivel door and feet shot through that door. I'm pretty sure- and I'm pretty sure he breaks my arm, and it was at that time that I kind of made up my mind cuz. It's no way to lock that door that if it was going to come down to what he was going to have to work to,
work to kill me so at the time that he was either reloading or the gun jammed. Whatever happened is when I ran through the the swivel door. I hit him with the Swiffer door and then the the gun was kind of jammed up and it was pushed down. So we were scuffling and I managed to get him with one hand on the gun, and then I grab it from him. I threw it over the counter top and then I earn after that, I was trying to get out the door and I think he was pretty much in the entranceway song.
Took him out with me out of the entrance not away outside an outrage in American. Here I mean that is an incredible thing right, a charge
with the air fifteen. Take the gun away from him and stop the shootings.
Raising thing obvious, he's wearing the bandages on his hands because he burned his hands because grabbed the red hot.
Earl of the of the air fifteen which in firing he also, I believe,
It was great by a bullet in the arm is what would it look like? He is
he's fine, he'd any when afterward with his family to church to pray. So amazed,
amazing do now you might
while this is a story of an american hero, stopping a person when he
had no resources to do so, because this guy is just a hero.
I'd say, you know what I've been even better if this guy had a gun on, because then presumable
this guy would walk through the air fifteen taken the first shot- and you know this guy this euro right here. We're done something about a right. This is the kind of guy who pulled out his gun and shot the bad guy hope, maybe even saved a couple more lives. Are, you might think
wooden better. If this fellow James Shaw had action
had a gun. You would be wrong to court
lots. Left comes about legitimately the stupid as possible arguments. I have ever seen
like an insane number of stupid arguments, have ever risen from this because now left is making the planet, because,
shall Junior was not armed, then that we should expect people to disarm people with guns. Now this is a little bit different,
from the argument that was being made just a few weeks ago. With regard to air fifteen's, they can't expect an armed school security officer to charge a person with a gun that, if you have a pistol, they shouldn't
well to shoot somebody within our fifteen right everything, the nerve Atinas so wildly powerful. They should be able to take down that sugar, even if
but not now, they're, saying that everyone should be unarmed to take down the shooter ores
thing. Camera showed a series of some of the dumbest argument you have ever seen. I mean this is really insane even folks on the left here,
they ve done control should recognise stupid. These arguments are and stay away from them as much as past.
What we actually want to win. The argument, so here is David, excellent,
It Axelrod was, of course, one of the leading visor campaign advisers to President Trump, and then he was in the white houses. Was the chief of staff chief strategist for for the White House
under President Obama, and here is what he tweeted out quote with yet another man
shooting today, let us give full recognition to cold the manufacture of the
our semi automatic rifle using this massacre for designing such an efficient weapon for mass destruction for commercial use. So this is
a really really bad arguments. The argument that he's making here is the manufacturer is somehow responsible for the person using the gun to kill people and which is weird because I tweeted back to David Axelrod, full props, to the makers of the
four for generating the firearms used to kill Osama Bin Laden. No props, you president,
a Re President Obama made the call- and all we heard about twenty twelve was Obama that Osama Bin Laden is dead in Detroit is alive and they took her
for the killing of a zombie Lomb recording David acts around the gun manufacturer who really gets the credit for the killing of anyone.
If anyone is guilds, the gun manufacturer who is responsible for that so presumably, is the gun,
If, after the gets to take credit for the Osama Bin Laden, kill and not Morocco eyes in David Axelrod, not agreed that logic, but instead he is saying such stooped
things about gun manufacturers? This is why are you here this myth that put out there by the way
that there is some sort, a loophole for gun manufacturers. When it comes to liability. There's someone gets shot. You can't see the gun manufacturers.
There's some sort of legal loophole that has been enshrined in law,
No product liability.
It is a well developed area of Anglo American Common law and product liability suggests that there are few
types of liability. One is, if you design a product that is inherently dangerous and then that products goes
in the inherently dangerous way than you are responsible for its for its danger. But rifles are designed to
do what they do and people by them to do what they do. There is no failure
in design, there's no design law. When it comes to products man,
actually in the air fifteen and there is also no manufacture.
Of law, which be like you, buy a product and breaks on you re, there's no manufacturing
Why? So when people say
A gun is a gun. Manufacturers should be able to be sued if they are able to be sued. If you bought a gun and the gun war, two backfire on you and hurt you. For example, you can sue the gun manufacturer for a product manufacturing claim if the gun,
and we're so inherently dangerous hair trigger an you, pick up the gun and just goes.
Because that's the way it was design, then you have a design.
I get sued gun company. For that we can see the gun company for making a gun. That is perfectly manufactured specification anymore than consumer knife company for making a night. That is perfectly manufactured specification. You can't see you can't see,
It begins United Company because it cuts things as at the way that this works.
But again blaming on manufacturers for the evil of individual human beings. It makes no more sense than failing to credit heroes for the individual heroism
and being one thing that we should all learn from GM shot by the way. This is what folks say in law enforcement. Is that if you aren't mass shootings scenario, then charging we should do something
the best thing that you can do. Obviously not everybody is, is given that kind of courage, either by God, has developed at themselves. James
Here is one of the people who has developed it good for him or other stupid arguments. A bunch of the of these students from park,
and started making the same argument, and this is an intense laced, intensely stupid argument. Elegans Alice, tweeted out the local
we say a man at the scene. Rest wrestled: his gun away, looks like it
the army, teacher or resource officer to stop a shooting. There goes the sales pitch for Psmith lesson. No so the argument, I guess, is that
if you have a guy who super brave and who runs into the face of fire and grabs gun from,
someone else. No one needs a gun sales.
To disarm the police mouthwash integrate reply to this. He said
I saw a man eating spaghetti with his hands the other day. That means that no one should have a fork like what is it? What like, because
So I guess the solution is the law. Abiding people should not have guns, but non law abiding people who have guns we shreds. We should stop them because we should run in there with our magical bulletproof chests. Somehow stop him
This line of argument is repeated ad infinitum. Yesterday was crazy. I've seen it all over the internet. Yesterday wasn't just emigrants. Alice David Hog, also treated this out the insufferable
survivor who says that everyone who disagrees with him is an evil pig. He says so only
now with a gun, can stop a bad guy with a gun and then he treated at the had fifty
six thousand legs. Fifty six thousand legs, no one
Only the guy with the gun can stop a bad guy with a gun get what we did so
Is that there is a much better show that you are going to stop a bad guy with the gun with a gun, then you are in charge,
the die here. How many earlier? I would like to see, statistically speaking, how many people would actually tried to charge a sugar
being shot I'll bet, you're numbers pretty, I obey the number is pretty high and then it didn't stop with him. Seth Macfarlane,
de the dope, who makes family guy into our hero James, shot a good guy without a doubt who stopped a bad guy with a gun. Again, I don't know what you're trying to argue here.
Are you trying to argue that it's bad for good people have guns, and I promise you if James Shaw had a gun, he would have use it
in far better fashion than he was even able to use body. This is such a dumb argument. We'll talk a little bit more
the dumb arguments and left undone control and just a second. But first I want to say thanks to our sponsors over,
how's he genius. So seventy one person
of human beings- say they need life insurance, but only fifty nine percent of Americans have coverage, which means at least
One percent of Americans are procrastinating and
President Normal is a bad thing. It's really bad one. If you grab dad, you leave your family thereafter. We actually know somebody. This happened to policy genius is the easiest way to
and that from happening you go online. You compare life insurance prices, you can compare, quotes in just five minutes when it's that easy pudding,
off becomes a lot harder. You can compare quotable sitting on the couch watching tv, you can compare quota listening to this podcast policy, geniuses up
four million people, shopper insurance and place over twenty billion dollars and coverage is an I've been very
focused on getting life insurance. For myself, my wife has life insurance as well. If you are an adult, if you have a family, there is no excuse for not have life, insurance and woods.
Easy? There certainly is no excuse, governor policy genius, dot com again
notes, morbid to think about your own death. It's even more morbid to think what
is family. If, God forbid something happens, sealer policy genius, dot com and, by the way they just your life insurance.
They also to disability, insurance and renters insurance and health insurance. If you care about it, they can cover it policy. Genius tat come once this easy to compare life insurance. Why put it off policy genius dotcom, go and check it out. You really? Oh, it's your family data, ok! So no one in the part about the gun debate. That is so
Annoying is that whenever there is an incident people, instead of looking at the facts of the incident, then drawing conclusions, they immediately
their various sides of the ILO to back up whatever narrative, they think is supported by all of this, so the
right looks at this story and what the right size is. Ok, I'm only the facts. The case here the facts of the case. The facts of the case are that this shooter had his guns taken away and then got his guns back so
blame us blame law enforcement, don't blame law abiding citizens like me, you ever have a nine millimeter hand on it. I have shock, I'm gonna, take why my guns, because the police couldn't take away somebody else's. How does that even logical,
These can protect me, but I need to be disarmed. How does that were
and then beyond that we look at the case with, with James drawn, we say, listen that guy's a hero, but you know me better
we'd better to lower the burden of entry for heroism. So I mean by that is that there are certain obstacles to being hurled. Person righted
when those obstacles as risks to be heroic person means to undergo a certain level of risk. In order to do something good, but
people are willing to undergo lower levels of risk and higher levels. Rest Grimshaw with some
Who is willing to go under the ultimate risk in order to do something?
to be done. Disarming the shooter in this particular case. Most people may be cowering about helping the shooter would leave, but as because the burden is really
right? Charging a guy with a gun is a pretty high burden and theirs
in military service, they re asking people to do pickets charged a different thing from asking them to go into a well planned operation requires a different level of risk assessed,
an unwillingness willingness to undergo risk and origin firewall, particular or well. That's why the best planners and military spend their time.
Trying to figure out ways where people have to undergo less risk. Your lowering the threshold of entry for Heroism
What what are the things that lower the threshold for entry for heroism is lowering the rest in one of the things that lowers the risk of having a gun to shoot a bad guy, then how many feet
In their Dinah were willing to charge the guy, probably lower than the number of people in the diner who, if they had guns, would have been willing to shoot the guy
I think everybody in there would it figured ok the risk to me a pole.
Am I gonna shooting. This guy is pretty well read, because
Now I ve done it. He has gone it's
lot lower than the risk of charging the die, but the left once the risks to be as high as possible. Apparently when faced with a mass shooter- and this is a serious
Problem is serious problem and also one of the reasons why so many Americans look at the left and they say you guys just wanna, take our guns,
one what the council is in no way, I'm gonna take your guns. What even talk about we're, not interested in taking your guns like
would we do that? What we're where's the evidence? The evidence is that you think that the ultimate great situation is what happened. James Shaw, as opposed to
is in outliers situation, where a hero was able to charge a guy with a gun and succeed, and I don't want
everybody to have to charge a guy with a gun out prefer very much for those people to able to shoot that guy
seem unreasonable to me but speak.
Of unreasonable. I now want to turn to the facts
everyone in America has apparently lost their mind with regard to the capacity to take even mild criticism or joking into its pretty amazing thing, it really is pretty amazing, so this is speaking up
who can take a joke about guns. J Feely is
a I believe, a kicker right. I end user, a quicker in the NFL for the Philadelphia Eagles for years, and he was yet
we use the kicker. That's right! An and J Feely tweeted out this photo ok
He took out a photo of himself with his daughter rabies.
Libya of along girl and her date to the prom re, whose just add
a normal looking dude were who looks like a couple of former wager Andy
if he is, and in trivially standing between them with his arm around his daughter and in any way
like a lock. On the other hand, he's got a pistol in the other hand, and then it is women.
My beautiful dotterine relate a great time problem. Hashtag bad boys isn't a hundred and thirty three thousand likes. This is the oldest joke in America? Is the oldest joke
This joke has been done a thousand times. I remember when I was in Moscow
there is a how wean party and some ended a couple showed up is shocked on wedding,
right that visit is the oldest joke. Is that if you hurt my daughter, I will hurt you, and yet people lost their minds over this people.
Crazy over those people? How dare J feely? How could J feely do something like that? Look at him he's threatening that man with a non first of all be willing to pay,
it's pretty clear. This kid is not really be feeling very threatened. Ready, smiling the second of all. It's a joke, my goodness, my favorite responds this was from the feminist
Duca, who can always the council for the hottest feminist take. She said. Oh good,
a picture of a man showing that he thinks he's daughters, his property, so number one. My daughter does not have
free reign over her own life until she becomes an adult and is capable of making bell decisions, but that's really now at this photo showing the going rate
my daughter is effectively speaking my property, because she is for what I mean by that.
To control her life. I just wanna
the freedom that you would have ensured adult grown human being, but in this case the daughter of seventeen, probably at sixteen or seven
years old. But that's not what the joke is you idiots the joke is
you hurt my daughter. They will never find the body. That's the joker, but men acting like me,
is now being seen as something wildly toxic, even when men are just joking about acting like men about it
it. Inside about this. Yesterday was Medina me on territories at the entire left, talks about the dead, the evils of rape culture so, as they are rape culture, its
we'll saying that rape is okay, so evil fathers reach out photo saying
if you hurt my daughter, I'll kill you Father is the bad guy again folks, we need more fathers or, like this, not feel
Ok, we need more fathers who are joking, half joking about the fact that you have
their daughters. They will do something really really nasty to you. It is good for men to protect women. Does anyone
really think I feel it is going to negotiate this guy like this. If his daughter
this guy, go how can central sacked the jailer using a break in the room guns emblazon
Is that really what anybody thinks? Of course nobody thinks that, of course nobody thinks that, but the left has to think that, because the idea from
What does that begun inherently makes you feel about that? I don't know J freely from Adam, but they figure that of J.
Really is holding a gun, then he must be. One of those grunting
the end or thaws who thinks that his daughter is his property wishes
course insane. There's a certain level of cultural anger that exists on the left toward people
quite culturally on there. I am not even talking about people who are politically and their answer
people who, for example, only done if you're gone there a lot of
for my entire life living in LOS Angeles and Cambridge Massachusetts being surrounded by people in left. If use,
do you own a gun around people on the left in Lausanne,
the Western Cambridge Massachusetts. They look at you as though you are the kind of person who goes hunting for
or with a spear, and then roast sit over an open flame before taking your wife odd back to your cave, they owning a gun. Is there
cultural hallmark to a lot of people on the left, and that's it! That's all! That's it! That's all. This is because if the guy had been standing, their right of J feeling
standing there with say, for example, a noose brightened based
We suggesting that he's gonna come after this kid. If something happened to his daughter, nobody cared everything, ok funny
he's, got a gun now, and so the idea is, the gun makes him super aggressive and super scary and super terrible. How dare J feely that scary, scary, scary man guns are not inherently scare,
except the view train kids. The guns are inherently here now: it's possible to trinkets had guns are inherently dangerous, which they are good, but it is also possible to shrink heads the guns,
a tool in the hands of the people who wield them, but the waters
in that way, the gun, injury feelings had major feely evil.
The gun in the hands of the kind Tennessee made the guy in Tennessee evil. It's not. The guy in Tennessee is evil and had gone where the guy intent,
He was mentally ill and had a gun and the J Feel is a fine law abiding citizen and he had a gun and it's completely different story. And meanwhile, speaking of cultural and
tolerance ocean. I twain. I've has been rigged over the goals because United TWAIN had the
Maybe the awful awful awful mistake of suggesting that you might actually that you might actually
go ahead and she's canadian that you might have voted for trump I'll, explain to you in just a second. But first I want to say thanks to our sponsors over at helix.
So there is nobody on the planet who is just like it, which is a good thing because I mean like come on, but why would you buy a mattress suited to somebody else? Chaotic sleep well at night, you need he'll sleep
Mattresses, I'm not saying that is generally volubly problems, but I am going to say there are obviously problems, your habit with a mattress, he'll sleep or go
I'm late for resolving those working with the world's leading sleep exports. Helix sleep has developed a mattress that is customize your specific height weight and sleep preferences. She can have the best sleep of your wife.
An unbeatable price here is how it works. You gotta helix sleep, dot com. You thought there two minutes. Sleep was and they'll design your custom mattress. They can even customize each side for you.
And a partner in twenty eighteen he'll sleep has even taken customize linked to the next level. With the helix pillow, the only pillars are fully adjustable. Sea can achieve perfect comfort, regardless of sleep position or body type. You actually
thousands of five our views when you get a hundred nature, try that
really call it comes in Maylie, unpack, inflates right in front of his thumb. We took a more expense.
Matters in our room and move it out of our room and substituted heedlessly mattress, because our heedlessly mattress is so good. Go to helix leaked outcomes, lifespan right now get up to one hundred twenty five bucks toward your mattress or that's helix, sleep dotcom, slash ban from two hundred and twenty five dollars off your mattress order. He'll sleep, dot, com, slash ban and again, that is up to a hundred twenty five
There's a reason that he looked sleep is such a fast growing company there's a reason we usually sleep in our home, not just cause they're advertisers all right. So, meanwhile, speaking of people cannot take a joke, visited insane thing so
I take a joke visited insane thing, so Tenaya TWAIN what it was in it
the red shoes in an interview and here's what
he sat raise interviewed the guardianship quote, I would have voted
him, because, even though he was offensive, he seemed honest. Do you want strader polite? Not they should be able to both
our voting, I just dont want be ass. I would have voted for a feeling that it was transparent and politics,
has a reputation of not being that right. Ok, so, basically,
said what everyone United States out, which is that President Trump was more authentic than Hillary Clinton. Now vote railway Glinda vote for Donald Trump. There there
questions about how to vote in the last
John Cycle, but it is not really in question. A trump is immoral.
The human and Hillary Clinton, because it's it's difficult. Finally, less authentic human than Hillary Clinton
There are legitimately mannequin that are more authentic than Hillary Clinton, their robots on
de. There are significantly more authentic than Hillary Clinton
and I am not even talking about the robots from from from westward. I'm talking about, like actual rosy robots like from the Chechens, are more authentic than Hillary Clinton, so there's not particularly controversial statement, but she then had to tweet out a for power
apology, ok, here's what you to quote I like to apologize to anybody. I have offended in a recent interview with the guardian relating to the american president. The question caught me off guard as it can aid
and I regret answering this unexpected question- how giving my response more contacts so number one. First of
She has canadian wise anybody like upset with how Canadian would boat you can't even boat. Who cares. Second of all, it is not
canadian thing in the history of Canada that you are connected
cannot born american election year asked about voting in the election. Then you apologize to Canadians about how you
vote in an election is not Canada, pretty canadian stuffy. Well, here's what she said.
I would like to apologise to anybody. I have offended in a recent interview mention
continue by saying I passionately against discrimination of any kind and opens clear from the choices I have made and the people I stand with
I do not hold any common moral police at the current president. Ok,
and she continued along these lines, and she said I was trying to explain in response to a question
the election, that my limited understanding was that the president also portion of America like inaccessible person they could relate to as he was not a politician and she concluded
my answer was awkward, but certainly should not be taken as representative of my values, nor does it mean I endorse him. I make music can bring people do.
They're. My path will always be more inclusive and my history shows so again: I'm not
for months divisive about her saying he was more authentic than Hillary Clinton would aborted forum she's from Canada she's from Canada,
But this is the world we now live in, or every controversy has to be about President Trump. Everything in the world is about president from a point of high irritation to me, because my view about president from is that, president from its not that important, a human being
is important because, as president of the United States, but as a person
bring about every little thing from does or says, like. I think, a lot of the stuff that he said and done is.
I think mostly said laying a lot to be done is great. Having allowed us if he set his equable, but so what is the president? I think than about every president? The idea that
Everything has to be about. Trump is just an amazing amazing thing, and the fact that we take the word of celebrity so seriously is pretty crazy. Now I will point this out and the entire left, then what insane, when more romantic
new, suggested that Lebron James you shut up and rebel
right, even though she wrote a book called shut up and saying about the next Jackson. Two thousand, for they were
That's over Lord Ingram. How could Lord Ingram say such a thing to LA branch and shut up and running, I said at the time was an I think, it's kind of a he can say what every wants. Is he an expert on p
That's not really! That's really what war was saying, I think, but the entire left sensation I a twin, sharp and saying so. How is it? Unlike can hold those thoughts in mind. At the same time, you did that you can
it'll bronchial, shut up and rebel, but you can't shut up in saying very weird, endemic
sort of a demonstrative again of the fact that when it comes to the left, its size,
something that is more important than the reality? Now I will say this: the factory,
answer. Celebrities. Any sort of credibility on politics in the first place is
bizarre and also the reason why we now have celebrity politicians, not only President trumpet Hillary Clinton. Let's face it,
was a celebrity politician. A historically
have had more of a legal background. Then President Trump, but when she ran
we're a senator of New York. She don't even further
the United States. As you know, is not an elected position. She never how the weapon office and she
being senator, and then she went directly from that running for president. So here
Clinton was a celebrity politician too. She was George W Bush was.
Every politician and because, yes, he was governor of Texas.
The reason he was governor of Texas, because this last night was Bush. Now I think Bush was a much better president in Hillary Clinton.
Then. Obviously I think Donald Trump is is doing stuff that
never thought a conservative would do in office and that's great, but the obsession of Americans with celebrity is pretty grows and is not exclusive to what so the right likes. To think about the left that the left is really obsessed with celebrity when they are. There is no question that folks
left think that folks, in Hollywood, have some sort of greater window on the human condition than anywhere else.
It's the reason why they take so seriously all of the people from Hollywood, as the reason why these
what kind of politicians want to have Lena Dunham speaking at the DMZ, even though women Dunham is one of those
putting human beings on gods green earth. But the right is not immune to this. There is something to the human condition that when someone is famous or someone is rich,
we somehow grant them. A halo fact is its actual psychological thing. We called the halo that you grant them the the
the ability of believing that they are good at everything's somebody's super wealthy. Then we assume
they are super smart, also or if someone
super beautiful. We assume that they are also worth listening.
Who on politics, if someone is really good with, for example, astrophysics like Stephen Hawking, this means
have important things to say about politics and religion. If you're on
sign. This means that you are good at politics, so Einstein was a social,
we'll see people and lets say this all time- Einstein one great geniuses of all time whose also socialist in his economic leanings. So I use good science.
He said, he's gotta economics right now, I see wouldn't have known, have
It required do your physics for you, but because people are famous, we there
grant them a certain level of credibility on other issues. So the latest example of this is kind of west, so believe it
the right is now resonate.
The Congo. Why so Conway? I will not sit like. Can we remember back to two?
one thousand and five when after Hurricane Katrina, Kenya West went out there into the George W Bush have purposely targeted black people with the hurricane that guy, a guy who jumped on schedule
swept and said I will let you finish that one so now is treating our deep thought and the right is so excited there so excited because Congo West is twinning, are things that
kind of right wing like he treated out that he supports Candice, Owens, Candice Owens NICE Gallon from Kansas, Canada is sure to truly Kirk over a turning point. Usa, she's, a black conservative,
In contrast, we learnt that be like talking things and now he tweets out. We have freedom of speech, but not freedom of thought.
Then he also treated this one outlay. Ok, that's true! I think, and then you treat out the thought police want to suppress freedom of thought, also true, and then he also tweeted out at one point.
It victimization isn't is a disease agree agree with all of these.
And I'm looking for to Kanye West. We don't care about your feelings, I think it'll be great, but the right responded to Congo West as though it was an earth shattering thing
a big celebrity. Lycaonia West was saying things that remotely conservative. It just demonstrates the rights desperation
to be taken seriously in the in the sphere of pop culture. I think that the Roseanne
there was in ratings. Are another evidence of this. I think that the right wants to betake
here? There will be seen as bad evil people and the pop culture decides who seen as bad naval pop culture tells you stories and the folks in popcorn,
decide who gets to be portrayed as the villain and who gets a group portrayed as the hero. So every time
somebody on the right is portrayed is not the villain. The right is willing to take it,
so if Roseanne voted for Trump, even if she is pro crossfire
sing and pro gay and proper
the security and pro abortion. Although well, you know what leashes treating us well, so we like Rosanna we're doing the same,
what kind of west, but I would just worn folks on the right. You don't you can be happy. The kind of guy said something that seems to be conservative, but let's not pretend the kind of west
of genius. Again, I will use every opportunity ever to play this clip this is from Jimmy.
So back when Jimmy can Mostar was not garbage. I he had on Josh Grauben when just Robin the singer, and just Robin saying some of the best Kenya westward
here is an inherent here's. What that sounds like
all of your favorites,
Is your eyes leads
Ok, so I would I play the whole video I love so much, but can West is not like a super
I will human being, and he has certainly not politically intelligent and so the right resonating to anything. Anyone impact
exercise because look that famous, ok. Kenya was tweeted out he's without
the other day self victimization is a disease has all.
In the past will now quote. I hate when I'm on it
light and I wake up with water bottle next to me, like, oh great now, I gotta be responsible for this water bottle gay.
It is a guy who tweeted quote. I specifically ordered persian rugs at my chair of imagery. What do I have to do to get us
but persian rub with Cherub imagery or this one man ninjas our kind of cool. I just don't know any personally have at this one.
Sometimes. I push the door closed by nine people running toward the elevator,
nay, my own elevator. Sometimes my sanctuary, I will say, did slowly but surely
deciding tax policy. Probably not don't you hate when people clap tool,
in the car. It's like. Yo, this closed area clapping his way too loud wake.
I love this is an entire tweet storm. My favorite units of measurement is a bleak load like when people ask
when issues I got, I told me that a bleak blow to choose how much is a blue blood, I'm assuming its much more than a piss load, tinier west man. This is what a genius I just thought.
Some kazoo on this board that visit the guy you're going to for in politics? Really really,
folks. Then we wonder why our politics is so stupid because we are stupid or get. The answer is because we're dumb cut rate to the chase, we're all stupid, ok, so more on our stupidity in

ok. Now, speaking of insane stupidity, I will have to move on to this story from
seems stupidity. I will have to move on to this story from Jijiu. So nobody reads: she, Q
more because why would you read Jijiu Railing, I'm not sure how many subscribers in the first place, they re full list by the editors of Jijiu of twenty one books that you should not read: twenty and books. You should not read so that's exciting, because there are lots of books that I think that you should not read, but the books that these
just like this is so stupid. It's basically s strange W guide books. You should burn pretty incredible.
To number one on their list is lonesome done by Larry MID Mercury. Hilarious mercury is not on the right here.
Mercury, I believe, is the same. Guy did didn't you right, Brokeback Mountain Batman, Larry
I believe, that's right. I believe that he wrote yeah, that's right. He wrote he wrote that screamed later too,
bad mountains, allurement mercury is not exact.
A right wing dude these
reed lonesome dove, which is just a story about two friends on the prairie. Basically- and it says quote, I actually level
I'm doubt, but am convinced that the cowboy myths with its rigid masculine
motion, a landscape war, vacation of guns and destruction, and massage earnest generals is a major factor in the degradation of America. Rather than perpetuate this myth and look for everyone, but
typically american memory, the mountain line by Jean Stafford, it's a wicked brilliant, dark books at largely
ranch in Colorado, but it acts in many ways the strong rebuttal to all the old toxic, western Sierra. We need to explode. You mean the western stereotypes about people pay.
Peering out into an area where they had no protection. In order to build the rest of the United States, you mean that western ethos,
You mean the ethos of men, protecting women, that ethos and not,
bringing that have the almost got. There's plenty. Those bad later this week
I recommend a movie, that's about a lot of bad stuff that happen in the west, but
that is not about those things and you're stupid. Ok about one drink! You editors, you are incredibly stupid. They say you shouldn't really
Catherine, the rye by Janey, Selinger, ok and what they
is that instead of reading,
catcher in the rye you should read a book called Olivia
or the british teenage girl who sent to a boarding school in France who falls in love with a female teacher and its
we will lead up lesbians again, the guy who writes it.
This saying they shouldn't red catcher in the rye is then roll call me by your name, which is again lolita, forget guys so just very, very exciting stuff from Jake you, they
these asian rendered bide, all that by robber grids, which is a book about graves time in that
has during World war one it's a great book, they say it's incredibly racist because he includes SAM
near unintelligible essays produced by three of his students. Math mood, Mohammed Math Movement,
buff Mohammed about my mood Mohamad from his post or stand as an
instructor in Cairo. Instead, so basically
you, should definitely not read this book about,
where one, because it is written by a guy who lived during World WAR one and during World war, one people or more racist. So we shouldn't read anything from them, so don't need any old literature dies, because if you read or literature you might learn that old people had bad Rachel.
As I said, then you might want to fight against those racial stereotypes by reading books. That's bad there,
they don't read the old man and the sea basin
that you should not read Letty a farewell to arms,
really hate him anyway, really angry with with Hemingway
these ancient red blood meridian by Cormac Mccarthy. I should think blood meridian
is overrated. But
Mccarthy. Furthermore, this aid- you should not re John Adams by Dear Mcculloch- do not read John Adams. Do not do do not do it in
You should read history about the assassination of President Garfield, ok Shore, then they say nine and ten do
we adventures of huckleberry thin by Mark TWAIN. They really
the hate Dwayne, why the worst crime committed by adventurism huckleberries when it makes first, I'm TWAIN readers
in TWAIN, Rutinius meandering stories he did, as evidenced by this, is
the tedious meandering stories, but he also had a lot of richly entertaining meandering stories that are not constrained by the emphasis admiration of fictional back country, child or suffused with sweaty.
The of a slave talking sweaty imitation of a slave talking with them.
Or even talking about ok the adventures
the adventures of huckleberry then, is one of the great works of Amerika
literature, and it is an anti slavery Tom you morons, but again his
remains nothing around go through the rest of this list. Injustice. Second, so here it here are some of the
things unless I have to finish what they say here about huckleberry, then they say breed of Frederick Douglass is first hand account of slavery, which is equal parts shocking in heartbreaking for five recommended
Frederick Douglass, but you don't have to ignore Huckleberry Finn, I love this. Take a mark TWAIN was a racist, just Rita, venturesome huckleberry Thin
Inventors of Huckleberry Finn is determined not to be a racist book. The whole point of the book is the black slavery.
Enable you idiots
they recommended in their a couple books. They recommend that are pretty good, like the rise and fall through rife by by William Schreiber, which have recommended on the show. But I love this number twelve on their list of books, you definitely should not read. Is the Bible?
you. Definitely should not read the Bible, they say the whole
Bible is rated very highly by all the people who supposedly live by it, but who,
Well, I have not read it is I agree, and I
of people had actually read the Bible, but they say those who have read it, no there's some good parts, but the overall it
certainly not the finest thing that man has ever produced. Oh you mean the basis
of western civilization is not defined. This thing the man has ever produced, there's no way
Shakespeare without knowing the Bible. There is no way to read
duration of independence, that knowing the Bible there's no way to reach,
any modern literature without knowing biblical references, there's no way to read
anything that westerners have written. That is any important you can't we just stay ascii you can't we Tolstoy. You cannot read any great western literature without reading the Bible, even the stuff that is directed against the Bible
even can't reached the summit
stupid, crap at the left, like that, like the handmaids tail, without understanding the Bible Eightys. As
I love this is repetitive self, contradictory, sententious, foolish and even at times ill intentioned. Ok, editors of G Q.
I am sure that you know more than the rest of human history combined. Instead, they recommend that you read a book called the note book. No, not
What about like? Did the two youngsters who have sex, but there actually old, not that one t do something:
go to Christoph a marvellous tail. Two brothers. We have to go,
long when things get rough, and I love this. The subtlety and cruelty of this story is that is like that famous sword, stroke from below the boat
upward through the bowels the lungs and thrown into the brain of the roller. Ok, then right position Reed Lord the rings.
Lord rings really bad, because if you read it, Lord of the rings
then you might know about things like virtue thou, be that also don't read Dracula because Dracula boring. This is not true by the way Dracula actually very, not boring
really the book, it's all its anti semitic right. It doesn't cut in favour of my folks, but it is not about by catch twenty two they station read. I love this. I could never get into catch twenty two. It fails to capture the absurdities. An impossible com
the war, what in the world are you talking about? The entire book is about the absurdity of war. The title of the book is catch, twenty two, the catch. Twenty two is that if you fly too many missions right, if you, if you're capable of lying alot of missions, then they put you up in the air, even if you
already fulfilled your quota, and if you dont flyin of missions, they won't let you out they making Filmore missions, that's what catch. Twenty two is. The whole thing is
the absurdity of war. You numb skulls. They say that you should not.
Gravity rainbow by Thomas Pension is instead written her advice by Thomas Pension, ok
many rainbow is unreadable. There is no question but gravity
turn. Vices nodded to buckle case, hope, you're, gonna, repenting, gory, crying a lot. Forty nine. They say she reads: Waterhouse five by Vonnegut, you shouldn't, delivers travels by Jonathan Swift. You definitely should not read that so
some of the great westerns, literally some of the great literature of the western can, you should definitely not relay- should reduce obscure ass J, W books that there they are
which, for you from the great well done, literature is
once and for all the intellectual scorn in which you hold the great works. Western literature is fully justified by the fact that you write
magazine, nobody reads, but this does go to sort of
Alice of modern american culture is that people believe that
because they were born now they are smarter than people who were born two hundred years ago. I promise you, you weren't, smarter than that
were born two hundred years ago, your standing on their achievement, you're running on the fumes of their value system. You are living in a free country because of stuff than they did, but dont
New York born on third base. Ok, I mean you hit triple you're, born on third baser civilization, really speaking, everyone in the civilization seems to think that they had a triple when they are born on their base. You live in a free, relatively calm.
I'm free, relatively egalitarian society because of the south
vices made, by legitimately millions of people over the course of three thousand years of human history, and many of those people are smarter than you there's we're belief that, because
have more information than they did in some areas of life. This means that you're smarter on everything here, not smart,
on human nature, which has not changed, and several
thousand years, simply because you know
or about how the Hubble telescope works, is in it
gotta argument, knowing more science doesn't mean no more about how human beings operate and what makes him
these human beings or no
What great literature is insight into human nature is all this time and as deep as as the thought of me
lived long before you did ok so time for
of things that I like, and then we'll do some things that I hate so things that I, like the
There's a book that I read over the weekend that I really enjoyed a book
I'll two wings, integrating faith and reason from Ignatius presentations, Press, a catholic press.
They print a lot of really interesting stuff. I really like what they. What they do is by Brian Clayton
was crazy. I believe the Clayton just I was on an reclaiming show, so he just an interview with withdrew. They should go check that out over Drew's channel on the aeroplane show, but the book is obviously
the title: well, it's about integrating faith and reason, and it really is kind of good, simple, logical arguments for what phases,
at what reason is about where there is cross over where there's not cross. Over its intellectually honest media will say where there is no cross over between faith and reason or where religion makes assumptions. That reason simply cannot justify or where reason makes assumptions reason can justify its. I think a really good begin,
his guide to the conflict between faith and reason and where they unify, and its good attempt to put the pieces back together little but to check them
two wings, integrating faith, Unreason pretty easy, read it's about you and forty pages.
And well worth taking a look at. So you should go and check that out as well. Ok time for some things
that I hate
one of the things that makes me absolutely not about the state of modern politics. Again everything wrong,
of around President Trump, even though in reality, President Trump is a guy in the oval office. Who is trying to do a job? Sometimes you does it well, sometimes you doesn't do it so well, but because of Trump everybody has now
enforced to take a position on the world, as though Trump is the prism from which all light refraction one of those peoples, Bob Corker Bob Workers, the centre from Tennessee he's a lifelong Republican and Bob Corker- is
essentially refusing to endorse his successor, Marshall, Blackburn in Tennessee, which means-
publicans could lose the Senate if she loses. That's
in Tennessee, but he can't find a way to say something: nice about Marshall Blackburn, because Marshall Blackburn has been friendly to trump- has be real about this most.
Applicants are pretty friendly with true, because the President of the United States Bob conquerors, why distaste for tromp? That's fine that prerogative, but do not endorse the priorities that
you spend your entire career, supposedly fighting for Bob worker because you don't like Trump, is definitely cutting off her nose to spite your face. You Bob Cork or failing to defend Marcia Blackbird, that the rest of the story wasn't written during the interview had other christian science monitor and and and surrender. That's not a rating of our assessment of Martian Blackburn to say that she should be elected just because she's going about permits Mcconnell. Well, then, are you not supporting the nominee?
with the nominee for some time, and I don't know what else to say so much so much. You know so much virtue signalling, because you know he's talking to data bash on CNN is supposed to be.
VOX News and there's one thing
We can always notice about politicians, they do say different things on different networks. Ok, speaking of people who refracting things through the Prism of Trump Elizabeth Warrant is an amazing thing, so Elizabeth Moron
has said that she has native american blood, she's native american ancestry, there's no evidence of a subject non zero, zip, zilch
Her best defense is that her grandmother apparently had high cheekbones, I'm not joking. This is what she has said and that she was rowed recipe for a cookbook called power
our chow again not getting. That's the thing she actually set Trump. Making fun of her has calls are broken.
As honourable native Americans that Europe on her for pretending to be a native American. In the same way the people rip unshorn king, because they think that John King has no evidence of actually being black because on its birth certificate,
father is white and his mother is white, hairs are making fun of
shocking is not raises making fun of shrinking is making
John came because Shonkin may not
that be a black person right according to people who think that Hey Elizabeth
and is not a native american person by any evidence whatsoever and Elizabeth worn because she's refracting everything back through the lens of Trump. She gets to claim that terms, Pocahontas insult as racist, so she's
racist, proclaiming that she native american trumpets racist, recalling her out on claiming that she's native American in outlook and he's been told over and over and over by tribal leaders, cut this out stop. This is a racist costs. A racist intend he's not doing this to pay a compliment. He's dead,
to get out there and everybody us against them, ass against them, ass against them in every possible way. Ok! So again, this is just another. Pandering is so high
The AIDS highbrow, pandering here then again, because it all about trump- and that mean
that we have to ignore all the crimes of everybody else. Now, listen, there's not what about it and I think that again from his head some stuff that I've been very
a critical on him about here his tweets
Our insanely stupid a large percentage of the time by him calling report
does not racist her claiming to be native American without any evidence in order to get ahead
politically in order to get a job at Harvard LAW School. That seems to me a lot more, a lot more like hijacking. Somebody else is culture,
everything the President Trump has done. Finally, the final stupid thing is Tom, whereas
Who is the head of the DMZ? He says that we have seen a man
and of evidence and from Russia collusion again, he can say this about from COS.
Were angry at Trump, but there is no evidence I mean really. There is very little evidence whatsoever on this. I believe in doing your homework and over the course of the last year we have seen, I think, a mountain of evidence of collusion between the campaign and the Russians too
basically affect our democracy, and so again
The idea that evidence in short anytime time just demonstrates that the Democrats, because
I believe that all why for miles around Trump, they will attempt to impeach him if they do and back the house, even if they have no evidence to support it, because they will.
Claim evidence and then hope enough. People hate trumpet they'll get away with it. Ok, so we ran out of time
Federalist paper will do one tomorrow, but we'll be back here that I mentioned earlier. Adventure,
up the bench of Euro shows produced by math is whether executive producer, Germany boring senior producer. Jonathan, hey our technical producers, often Stevens edited by outing Arrow audio books by like a core meta heron make up his by just while there are eventually erosion,
