Ocasio Cortez Could LOSE Her Seat In Congress, Moderate Democrat Announces Primary Challenge

2019-10-11 | 🔗

Ocasio Cortez Could LOSE Her Seat In Congress, New Moderate Democrats Announces Primary Challenge. Ocasio Cortez won her seat through the tactic of "primarying."With just less than 17,000 votes she outed Joe Crowley to become the Democratic nominee for her district. Because her district is so heavily Democrat winning the primary was all it took.Many republicans have stepped up to run against her but it is extremely unlikely these republicans can win the safe blue district. But now we have a new city council member with strong ties to the democratic party announcing a 'pro capitalist' challenge.Fernando Cabrera denounces AOC's socialism and said only a democrat can beat her, a moderate democrat.We know from the data that moderates performed substantially better in the 2018 mid terms than the far left and socialist candidates. Though some did legitimately win Ocasio Cortez got in via the primary. After losing the Amazon HQ jobs it is possible her district revolts and ousts her with a new more moderate candidate.We know AOC's funds are coming from outside her district as well. Perhaps she is not as popular locally as people think. Perhaps she has spent too much time courting national level activists instead of her own constituents.

Alexandria, Ocasio Cortez is facing a real political opponent in her district in the primary right. So this is a little bit complicated, but the reason okay, your Cortez one when she did is because she defeated Joe Crowley in the price. Mary, getting only around fifteen or so one thousand votes in a district of seven hundred and fifty thousand most people didn't primary. Joe Crowley profile is going to be lost when it comes to the actual election. It's a d plus Thirty district, the Democrats not going lose as Nancy Pelosi said, you can put a d on a glass of water in their districts and they're going to win. So here's the real here's, the real challenge Cabrera kicks off primary bid against because you're Cortez. Now this is not the first person to call a to actually propose primary account or whatever one of the first local politicians with strong ties to the Democratic Party
Okazu Cortez has been supporting primarying. Other moderate Democrats trying to get MOD and long standing Democrats removed from their seat and now she's, facing the opposite. Moderate Democrats challenging her calling out socialism, and this is the real threat, listen I believe around seven or seven or so Republicans are going to run against her, but come on in a d plus thirty district, do you think they're going to win? Probably not, however, the primary will be the build battle. Okazu Cortez is raising a ton of money but as it turns out, according to one report's We know most of those donations are coming from outside her district people in New are very unhappy that she lost them. The Amazon deal. She was
a leader of some of the protests in the financial district. She led that charge whether she want now. She wants to claim it. She had nothing to do with it. It wasn't even her district, it doesn't matter, new Yorkers are upset and new Yorkers might actually vote her out in the primary. So let's talk about the let's talk about who is challenging, cause your Cortez and why this is a real threat to AOC. Listen, we can talk about trump and the twenty twenty election all day and night. I think look. The democratic contenders are all fairly weak trump's going to win, but here's the thing, the primary challengers that are talking about going up against Trump they're, not going to win Trump's popular in this country, Ocasio Cortez but that remains to be seen her approval rating. District has gone up and down. I believe it's mostly positive at this point, so we we'll see in the end. What really matters is a primary prices, substantially different from the actual election, and if these local politicians, this local Cobreros straw, has strong ties. The Dnc, if he can rally,
enough local people who don't like socialism. You might even see local Republicans voting for a Democrat if it means knocking out AOC, from rational seat. I believe this is the first true threat against her congressional seat. Let's read the story before we get started head over to ten cast dot com, slash donate! If you would like to support my work, there's several ways: you can do it as a Paypal option, but the best thing you can share this video. Let's, let's entertain this conversation, let's talk talk about whether or not a oc really stands a chance at re election. Because there's good arguments for why she does share this video, if you want to support me to help me overcome, pluck CNN Fox MSNBC, not only are they propped up by Youtube, they have big marketing budgets and with any of that, I just have you guys if you like it, please share it and tell people why you think the conversation is important. Let's read the story
politico reports. City council, member, Fernando Cabrera, is launching a primary challenge against Rep Alexandria, because you're Cortez, the Bronx Democrat and pastor filed with the Federal Election Commission to run for the congressional seat, which spans parts of the Bronx and Queens and is formally kicking off this campaign today, while a slew of lesser known Republicans have already launched campaigns against the progressive fire. Brand Cabrera becomes the most prominent local Democrat to take her on now. Here's the thing there is another democratic, prime challenger, but my understanding is an activist not not something with political connections. This isn't so listen. When AOC earlier this year was talking about primarying, Democrats basically be trading. The party I mean I I I get it. I can respect wanting to get rid of the establishment, cronies and stuff, but you're the Democrats like you're you're, you're you're, the Democratic Party. They expect you to work with them to pass policy She challenges them, so they challenged back as a story from the intercept. The Democrats were
hang on setting her up with that they were going to either get rid of her district out right, so I should have to run somewhere else or present a moderate challenger. Now I don't know if this is the Dnc. Establishment fighting back. Aoc says it is, but this is a moderate dem, cracked, slamming socialism and saying she's more concerned with her twitter following and and and panda going to national level activists instead of our own district and bring back jobs. That's read, they say quote only a Democrat is going to be able to defeat her and it's going to be a moderate Democrat. Cabrera told politico she's a no show in the district. She hasn't brought any about anything except division. Within the party I mean that's a fair criticism and it is true. The moderate down did Resounding Lee better in the midterms. Make no mistake: she beat Crowley in the primary because Crowley underestimated her
if Crawley actually tried, if he actually came out and considered her a real challenger, he probably would have won, but a see and the Justice Democrats specifically outlined this tactic called primary in. They know that people die turn out for primaries, and that's why a one with only around fifteen, was involved in a district of seven hundred and fifty thousand, it's crazy. How that works? Isn't it? Let's read he plans to because of Cortez for democratic Socialist views and opposes green new deal proposal as well as Medicare for all socialism doesn't work. I don't want it for my learn for my grandchildren, he said the council member said he was first inspired to jump into the race after hearing, because Cortez has
against amazons planned headquarters in Queens, a plan that was scuttled amid a flood of opposition quote. It was staggering to me. He set up for attacks on the three billion dollar in tax dollars in tax breaks and subsidies. The project was set to receive, most of which any company could have received all received on as an add on and as of right. Basis. Basically, here's the thing it wasn't. Special. The laws are set up to bring in industry to generate revenue, because Cortez actually thought in a statement she said. Imagine We can do with those three billion dollars: whoa whoa a discount dude like. If someone gave you a dollar off on a cheeseburger, you can't then oh wow, I have a dollar. No, no! No! It's a discount! You still gotta give me the money she came out. She had no idea, she thought the it was literally giving money to Amazon. They worked. He needed Amazon to come in and they offered tax and tax incentives, which mostly already existed and Amazon, would
general generated twenty five thousand jobs. She protested against that New Yorkers were not happy check. It out We have somebody who literally dismantle the possibility of us having twenty five thousand jobs and she is yet to bring any jobs into the district. So I looked at the numbers. I don't even pulled up right now in the past year from January, the eighteen till today, they've gained only a few thousand jobs. That's not bad okay. So if it comes down to economics, as you know, who's going to win in in in a in a in in any race, well her districts doing slightly better, but then you've got a way that to the route you know the relativity of losing the twenty five thousand jobs and how people perceive this. If people look at the car numbers, you might see a lot of people saying. I don't know anything about that. I got a job, I'm happy. Unemployment is down. Employment is up, however,. Because of the news you might have a lot of people saying we lossed jobs because of the potential you see it. You see how the frame is going to be important.
They do mention the Cabrera's, courted controversy, video surfaced of him with you got and you in with with, and you got a price on the policy of the country's government and other issues. Compare pushes back saying. There are people who want to demonized me because that puts a cloud over my accomplishments, but my track record I've been very supported every step of the way like several avocado Cortez Republican challengers, Cabrera lives outside the congressional district, so we'll see how this plays out account Member has close ties to the Bronx Democratic Party and hopes to court their support. I can't see the party ever endorsing her because her and the justice demo ' That's our running people against everybody. In the democratic party. She doesn't play well with local officials. He added they'll Alltel, you exactly the same thing. We can't work with her she's in possible, but here's the thing AOC has issued a response in a fund raising email. This is from pics eleven New York, local news
'cause you Cortes, responded in a fund. Email sent out Thursday night. The email refers to Cabrera as a quote conservative Democrat and coated this as a establishment Democrats looking to get revenge. I wouldn't be surprised if she's right about that, but in the end you have a demo district heavily Democrat Democrat is going to win. You bring in someone who's moderate, and you may find that the outrage general by AOC is going to attract those republicans. Listen actually I'll show you the ballot ipedia info in a second, let's read the quote quote she says ever since we defeated Joe Crowley, corporate Democrats have been waiting for their chance to strike back the email states. Our opponent doesn't play by the same rule book. We do he'll be more than willing to raise huge dollars from wealthy donors, take special interest, PAC money and pander to corporate giants like Amazon. It was very unpopular.
Or AOC when you lost those jobs from Amazon. While I think Amazon is very very right for criticism, I don't think that's going to play well for the general Base ok, Je Tes, initially rose to fame, dethroning Crowley from his long term cetina. Primary upset. Meanwhile, several Republicans trying to win the seat in a heavily democratic district challengers include Ruth pop up Miguel Hernandez Race Solano, Antoine Tucker show very Murray and John Cummings are among the challengers from the right. This is huge. I mean it's a district where my understanding is the past Republican Anthony Pappas didn't really even campaign, like apparently didn't the website or anything check this out a see. Seventy eight point: two percent, a hundred and ten thousand votes got her elected to Congress, Anthony Pappas. The Republican had nineteen thousand two under or guess what in the primary race AOC
I wonder if they actually show the primary here, let's go down AOC in the democratic primary. Sixteen thousand eight hundred and ninety eight votes, Joe Crowley, had twelve thousand eight hundred and eighteen. I ask you this: what happens when these Republicans register as Democrats or I don't know if New York is a state where you need to register? I think you do, for the primary. I'm not sure, but happens. If you have nineteen thousand two hundred and two Republicans who know the, Only way to dethrone thrown AOC is to support a democrat challenger. I'd be willing to bet these nineteen thousand or so people, not all of is a lot of projects. General voters, but it isn't about, will come out in the primary and support, Cabrera or or an opponent, because listen in this district look at that, seventy eight percent to thirteen percent no way a Republican going to take this district. It's New York City, but a moderate Democrat could and so those Republicans, actually recognize. Your best bet is. Look you want you want to win,
and you want to go on a slam, Dunk Grand Slam when you're not going to get a candidate. Who is a Republican who believes everything you believe, but you want to take as much as you can. I wouldn't be surprised if they recognize that something about this way. Your choices, a moderate or so Socialists and I think a lot of conservatives would be like dude I'll. Take the the socialist right so check this. Let's, let's do this. I want to highlight this because it's not the first time a democrat primary challenges announced thing is Cabrera is a serious contender with ties. The democratic Party as a council member, this individual, my understanding, is as an activist I could be wrong. But let's read this a democratic activist, Okaz Yogurt primary challenger, bad run. Con comes out swinging in first televised interview. Now, here's the thing: even though this individual may just be an activist. I don't know what her political career is it's still serious, there's going to be multiple primary challengers. Now I know,
a warning for those who try or try to dethrone AOC. You might split the primary vote. Think about it. You put her up. You put up Cabrera and you might get AOC is going to have her celebrity fan base you're going to need every vote to go towards that one candidate to to defeat her in the primary. And if you have two democratic challengers, this could be good news for a cause or test splitting the vote, giving her the slight majority if they split the vote evenly and every person gets thirty three percent, but AOC gets thirty three point: one guess what you'll see when ends, but if those two candidates challenging AOC, one of them drops out. That means that who don't like AOC, would give all of their votes to challenger. I don't know the actual number of numbers are going to be it's entirely possible. Aoc is going to generate a ton of buzz she's Assal, so also possible. That celebrities is offensive to a lot of people. Look man, I don't know about you. I don't know what the people are district, but
for me I want a representative talking about where I live. Not talking about. California, not not not sing money from Californians to me, that is an agreed violation of what you're supposed to be doing. Why and it not just AOC is people like Beto and uh? woman who tried winning in Georgia, whatever name was: why are they raising money from outside the state from outside their district? I get it You have a right to associate this country. You know where one nation, but if you're supposed to represent New York fourteen shouldn't you be raising money in New York fourteen. I got some really funny information to show you guys, though, it's going to be hilarious, check this out. Guess who the biggest contributor to AOC is why it's Google incorporated now want to these organizations are not themselves donating. The money comes from the organization's packs there, visual members or employees or owners
those individuals, immediate families. The biggest by far with nearly double the next Google INC, why is that I genuinely find that strange, Google INC the biggest contributor cording to open secrets as of right now for two thousand and twenty cycle, incredible, you and have the machinists Aerospace Workers Union. That's actually pretty cool, whatever I'm not surprising, in supporting her cell in Gay- is a law firm, I believe. But then you have Facebook INC. Facebook is the fourth biggest guess what Amazon dot com is the I believe, sixth largest country air, to AOC, isn't that Weird Kaiser Permanente really really interesting donations coming in AOC look, I can understand the unions, the law school, and in the state of California indivisible action, but man, Google, INC, that's in Kristen now AOC will we'll talk about all the corporate money coming.
This guy Cabrera is going to take all this corporate money. Excuse me, mam. Have you looked at where your contributions come from? also their employees, their owners and their immediate families, and I got it: I'm not going to I'm not going to claim Amc is getting money from the big Google machine, because the wife of an employee donated to her- but I think, would be a open photo address this, because it's entirely possible a large amount of money does directly come from these corporations or their packs. Do you want to play a game on special interests? Perhaps you should talk about where this money is coming from and be legit about it right here, real about it. I do think it's fair to point out AFC's been very, very firm on raising money from individuals, but in the end I do find it hilarious that the money is coming in this direction. Now here's the thing
Let me look: let's see if this is the the okay yeah. We got the right story here, virtually no one in because you're, what has district has donated to a reelection campaign report says this is from two months ago. It may have changed right. The cycle It was still early, but the report was interesting because the squad members AOC he you know I ayanna Pressley Ilhan Omar and delayed most. Of their donations, were coming from outside their districts. Like a lot a lot and this report So I think this is mostly a larger donations. Is that when they compared the average, the average amount raised in their district using the same standard, the average congressman was raising over a hundred thousand dollars. They, I think it was the race like a thousand bucks, or some ridiculously low number in around district up
that number the Fec only requires that little campaigns disclose the names and addresses of individuals who contribute over two hundred dollars to their campaigns. During election, the daily caller NEWS Foundation and your car reported the one thousand five hundred twenty five dollars and fifty cents because occurred has received from our New York. Constituents represents less than one percent of our campaigns itemize con. Your patients reported to the FCC, so less than one percent of the reported donations she got over two hundred came from her district is an amazing and check out the average freshman representatives real action campaign received one hundred and seven thousand in itemized conjure. Tions from their constituents, AOC in my opinion, was that she she raised one point: four percent a bit of rage. I do not believe that a see it's popular in her district now I know the polls say that she's she's up fifty percent. I believe, here's the thing New York City, okay, it's not it's, not the poorest of Americans.
I understand that people in New York might be living in in in certain pop, by impoverished conditions, to an extent because of the cost of living. However, People in New York City are much more likely than people in the rural areas to be able to give her this money. How is it that she's raising just one point four percent of the average for what other freshman representative for raising it sounds fishy? Something is a but check it out. Look I really do mean it when I say that she might actually him. Okay, so is long story. Where is the I'm sorry, here's the right one she might actually see this is serious, AOC leading you'll be challengers by nearly five hundred thousand in campaign donations hold on a second, let's check this out. They say rap. I what sound has hauled in an astonishing one point: forty three million for first reelection campaign, GOP donors, have actively, given one million dollars to the five candidates. Let me explain
by that significant you may be saying TIM. She raised five hundred thousand dollars more she's doing way, but us fifty percent higher than the Republicans interesting that the Republicans were able to raise out of all the money raised right. We've got two point: five million, AOC has just around what like two slash. Three of that that's interesting! When you look at how she actually won that election, how many votes she got! This says to me that AOC Hazley a fire under the moderate and conservative base, so going to raise a million bucks. It's it's it's it's comparable! You know it it's it's! It's located on five hundred right, so she's fifty percent higher in terms of what you raised, but that's a dramatic difference. The difference, seems to be outlook. I understand votes and money are very different. You know it's possible that the Republicans have one guy who you know to a pack or whatever, or you have a bunch of really rich people, don't any because I don't like her and she's raising for more smaller people. But the point is this says to me,
that well, yes, of course she is an individual, has the advantages of being an incumbent and raising all that money for herself. It does show that opposition enthusiasm is quite high. But I won't say it's good news. I will say it's it's it's to an extent, good news that they're they're they're, you know they're keeping up to an extent. I mean a million bucks, pretty good in the end Aoc is still winning. Let's, let's be real about that. Now, I'd like to see what Cabrera can raise, that will be interesting, but who knows who knows? But let's do this let's flip now to the national state 'cause, I want to say something: we have two big races AOC. Is more of a symbolic race in twenty twenty trump, I think is good to go. He's going to win now. May change. No betting odds are changing. It's really slim, but Trump still is the favorite to win fine in common advantage, strong economy, but they impeach. Stuff is hanging over we'll see what happens between
pay attention to AOC's district, because this represents the civil war in the Democratic party. We know for a fact that in twenty eighteen, moderate Democrats did substantially better. In fact, the reason the Democrats win. The house is because moderates one in districts that Trump previously held, The far left is not popular. The data shows us, but if ea see wins again, it's going to set a trend moving forward. Or I shouldn't say that trend much a powerful message at the far left. Wasn't a fluke and they're here to stay. If she loses it will show just that it was a fluke. It was an accident. She won through a primary challenge, not a legitimate run. Okay, I got it primaries part legitimate process, but she won because the district only votes, Democrat Jon Voight, said this trump will win. Two thousand and twenty
Democrats have no heroes. Today, he's right. However, AOC may not be running for the president, but she is a hero of the far left, and so that's why she's raising so much money. Let me go back to this story and now present a point that I'm sure a bunch of people, a bunch of people were sitting here and saying things like TIM you've got it wrong. You miss a very important detail. The important factor in this is that while AOC did raise nearly five hundred thousand dollars the GOP, we know she's raising a lot of money outside the district. That's the important factor that needs to be discussed is the GOP raising money out of the district. I don't know, but we do Now, AOC substantially substantially below average, like nine thousand and ninety eight point. Six percent below average is that crazy for fund raising it around district I'd have to bet I'd, be willing to bet a decent amount that Republicans have raised more money in the distance He has. This is why I think she really does stand a chance of losing her seat. I think she won by
primary and you know we'll see, we'll see what happens but I'll leave it there. I'm not taking the comments below stick around excitements coming up at. U two dot com, slash teen, cast news starting at six pm I'll see you all there. Last night, Donald Trump held a rally in Minnesota and there was a massive turnout. I believe it was Illiano Mars District. Well, apparently, dozens of Trump supporters got attacked. It's not surprising. Massive protests turned out, rose, pepper, spraying, police, several arrests of journalism, pepper sprayed, and in the end we see we see some videos. This video, for instance, which is on the screen right now, is for those are listening. There's a man wearing black and a man wearing blue. And the man in Black is actually striking. The men in blue, according to reporter. I don't believe that their name up with the daily caller treated this a man leaving tonight's Trump Rally, Minnesota was spotted by a group of protesters who yelled there's a nazi over there. They then attacked the man slapping
pushing him until he ran away is not the only thing that happened according to, I believe who do we have reporting on the ground here. We I believe Elijah Schaefer, that's right, Anti Trump, just as Minnesota stole about forty hats off the heads of trump supporters and then let them on fire at the Trump rally. They then left the ashes as a as a vigil against fascism, leaving a after Trump sign on the top of the pile. This is tolerance. This is the last here's the thing I'm just I wanna make sure I go through this real quick again where you can see the the guy actually strike so for those that are watching, you can see the man in Black and there he hits the man in the face. So I'm on the head or something so you know getting getting attacked a lot of people make make make assumptions about. That means. I'm just not, let me clarify the phrasing. My understanding is that we have at least one video someone being physically attacked and around I'm a
parts of around forty or so hats being stolen. So, yes, people are being attacked, there's not new. This is exactly what happened in twenty fifteen, I'm going to get a lot worse. In twenty fifteen, I was at a rally in San Jose. I watch a random guy, get punched in the mouth face, covered in blood and interviewed. He said he wasn't even a trump supporter. They just punched him. Anyway, they didn't know. There was one kid who was literally, I don't even know who the kid was, but he was being chased like a fourteen year. Old kid was being chased by the mob. I watched an elderly couple be knocked to the ground. Their hats torn from their heads set on fire exactly what they do in San Jose. There was a more particularly that particularly viral moment that I filmed in which a man I saw this guy leaving the Trump rally in San Jose. This is, I believe, two thousand and fifteen. He was wearing a neon, yellow polo shirt and people screaming and spitting at I started filming. He turns the corner
and someone comes up behind with a bag, presumably a bag of some heavy object and smacked him in the back of the head hitting hitting his ear and blood started So I got an interview with the guy that video got one point: two million views overnight. It took off. I have in this stuff first hand, and let me tell you it is going to get worse way worse and when Trump gets reelected, it will be substantially worse January. Yes, a new and not in Washington DC. You have hundreds of people in in the in the black bloc going around smashing stuff, throwing bricks starting fires to hunt here plus people arrested, I was in the crowd got arrested. I got released without without being processed, so, yes, I mean people like to argue with arrest really means. Let's do this, let's hop over to the real, clear politics and go through what actually happened with a series of tweets, and I can talk more about just how bad it's going to be calm. I want to stress these are the end Yes, that will be used by the Republicans and Donald Trump for his reelection. I assure you and there
even a tweet here from a woman who says like I don't even have an opinion on shop and they were attacking me yep. That's what it is. That's what it is. So we have this week, the first one protesters burned Trump, hats and flags outside Trump Rally in Minnesota. They are cp reports. Protesters burned red Trump hats, hold anti police chance and destroy property outside a Trump campaign rally Thursday night in Minneapolis protesters. Yelled F, you guys, and animal abuse at law enforcement officer, set on the horses now I'll stop here an instead normal shot. I don't say this: we've got on the ground footage. We had a reporter there, interviewing people and filming. So we've got a bunch of exclusive coverage on the ground that should be up tonight at seven pm at Youtube: dot com, Slash sub, verse, news so again s you a sob as you be v e r S, eat news on Youtube. Go subscribe, we're going to have a video. I believe it should be out, hopefully by seven hundred pm,
We'll see we're aiming for it. We've got a ton of interviews. We had a lot of footage. We've got police, pepper, spraying stuff, we've got people fighting, I think, but yeah we had a reporter on the ground, so make sure you check that out. Seven hundred pm tonight, Matt but we did outside Minneapolis Trump Rally: protesters Lighting, Mogha, hats on fire, rushing police, calling them pigs, escalating, seen Trump hats post by this, or that we from a larger Schaefer, which I referenced already that they stole around forty hats off the heads of trump supporters. People were also may still. I just said my producer and Bear Maced in the face, while reporting on the quickly dilapidating situation outside the Minnesota Trump Rally. Arrests have been made anti fuzz present. Violence is commonplace. At this point, typical and of the night anarchy. The situation outside the Trump rally in Minnesota is quickly deteriorating left wing, There are destroying Barack AIDS, a protester can be seen
waving the chinese flag in front of riot police, while people in Hong Kong with american flags for freedom. We have. We waive chinese flags, think about that think about the Nba, listen. You need to understand this. Everyone keeps saying you know they make up these points where oh, the NBA will talk about the bathroom bill in North Carolina, but then they bow to China. Listen! It's all the same movement these protesters, who completely agree with boycotting businesses. Over there bathrooms are also waving chinese flags. It is not a coincidence. Ok, these big businesses don't care they care for nothing but money, so they're going to bend over backwards to whoever is going to give it to him, and they think this is the. Throughout these people waving the chinese flag. They were not going to cry sighs. Their ideology are going to support it because they want them and from China you see how this is working, one person repo or that Trump supporters are fleeing the event after tended to avoid being attacked by protesters
This is actually a different angle of the first video, larger Schaefer reports. Trump support start literally fleeing the event. Effort ended as protesters waiting around attacking attendees as they leave the arena. It is not safe and many less any longer for Trump supporters, please stay, from the from the from the do not come out with branded gear. Let me just make a point man. Is it strange that you don't see major bridge this. Where is CNN going to show this clip and say you know these anti trump people are insane or anything they don't sometimes sometimes, but rarely, and why is that? Why do you have Why is it assumed your trump supporter for saying these people are nuts? I don't care if you want to wear Maga hat and go see what the president has to say? I, my my own business, and if you come out, I don't even acknowledge yeah, it's not it's, not it's a respect. As I walk past people, that's a high all the time. It doesn't mean anything, but these people scream not see at this dude they
chase him down start hitting him and he runs away. How is that acceptable in our society? It's not. These people want to want to burn it down, to destroy it, and, what's remarkable to me, is that during Occupy Wall Street, the occupiers actually denounced a lot of this behavior, not all of it. They would talk about the diversity of tactics, but many people were opposed to this and I think that's why Trump gets elected. These people? You know back from occupied, you know who are down on the ground protecting the one percent. They they trump is an anti establishment characters matter, the billionaire who is going out of the system but, more importantly, a lot of the former leftist we're looking at this is insane all of this violence in this bad behavior was hurting the cause and hurting everybody, and it's only getting.
So when you lost that you had those people on the left occupy who said, stop the violence. We don't support this. That cut these people in check when they left Bernie your boss, I'm out no one was left to stop these people. No one was a tell them we're not going to support you, so they just they went nuts check this out. This site, twitter user Callie Thing said in this riot of Anti trump. I was just trying to get through with my brother and I've never been called a racist, a Sony times, let alone ever I've never been shoved for just walking through for thinking. I was a Trump supporter. I don't have opinions on Trump, but this is this. Is this was wack, apparently the person on Twitter was just walking by got attacked, and that happens. That absolutely happens. I mentioned when I was in San Jose. There was a guy who they claim is a trump supporter. Any wasn't he was even latino. Is mexican, I think, and they punched him in the mouth and blood coming out his mouth. They don't care. It is violence. It is chaos, it is. It is anger and I'll. Tell you what man, let's get the important point,
these videos are gonna go viral? This video is gonna, get going to get a ton of play. Regular people like that Callie women who are in politics and don't care, are being attacked, are being you know, a threatened and they're going to go, tell their friends and family and they're going to say I don't understand what happened and their friends and family gonna be like what's going on. This is insane, and you know what they're going to think they're not going to think I, like those people who attacked my friend, no they're, going to think wow. This would have gone nuts. We need someone who's strong who could protect and you going to vote for him in times of national emergency. You know- purity issues, violence, terror and all that stuff people tend to vote Republican because the Republican tends to be the strong national security type. Not always. Obama was one of the worst strong national securitized in terms of you know, killing Americans and John popping people, but you know whatever the point is: these are the people that oppose Donald Trump and they start fires and they attack people, and they
tech people who aren't even trump supporters, and it's going to get worse? If you think this is bad, I I assure you it is only just begun, as Trump continues to ramp up his rallies, especially in big cities. Don't be surprised when we see this escalade now trump is definitely gonna, be targeting a lot of rural areas. However, in two in in twenty sixteen, you know Trump got to these people and he you know he spoke to them about bringing jobs back, he's won them. The economy is better, he doesn't need to go in and tell them anymore. For the most part, he's gonna go he's he's gonna campaign, but I assure you, Trump needs to target big cities, bigger cities. He needs to find that base and rally them in areas that he can try and gain ground in the people. Live in the rural areas, who already tend to be republican or who already got his support, trying to prove it Truck could simply say any rally to everybody and you know X, county or whatever your jobs are back. You know blah
bot and they're going to be sitting there watching their tv, not at a rally but they're going to be cheering. Yes, they are so I get They might want to see the president to be happy that is come to their town, but doesn't need to anymore he's already one to them. The economy is better, unemployment is down. These people have jobs again, Trump is going to go and target the areas where these protesters are. But I'll tell you this. It could also be strategic Look at these videos that are going viral. Look at the violence, these people going out and beating people. It's it's look their writing the Trump campaign ads them. Tells Trump need only go up to a rally, bring all these people into the stadium and say thanks for being here have a good, Danny, walkout, that's it you could say nothing and they would show up. All of this for get released and they're going to compile at all and they're gonna run it on tv and that's it that the ads write themselves in this poll Colera, which truly is terrifying. In my opinion, policy is out the window for the most part.
That Trump does talk about a lot of core issues and the economy is doing better. So, in my opinion, when it comes to a political debate like an actual one, Trump is slightly the Democrats, Trump will actually talk about. Immigration will actually talk about the economy. He'll also talk about Antifa on the far left, and the Democrats will talk about impeachment and scandal, there's very little substance in this political cycle, and this is part of the problem, but you know what I'm not going to blame trump for those that are giving him ammunition. It's their fault. Trump is the president Trump. Fine. Whatever. How about you stand outside shake hands and offer up conversation and try to explain Why does a better way, I assure you, you'll convince so so. This is why I don't trust these protests right if I stood outside of a Trump rally wearing a button up shirt and I wait, smile to a nice. You know little old lady in her family with Trump an and shook their hands and asked if I had a few minutes to talk about politics and explain to me why they like the president and then I could-
Splane. Why you know I like someone like Tulsi, Gabbert, Gabbard and see if we can find common ground. I assure you in that way. You will end up convincing a handful of people to vote for your candidate. I guarantee, if I went to a Trump rally, I would meet. Some people who are about moderates aren't decided, not die hards and we have conversation, and I might actually convince them absolutely because on a handshake goes a really long way, but I'll tell you what these people are. Trump supporters say that somewhat facetiously I made that joke last time I was at a, I think it was, I think, those brown San Jose. I jokingly referred to the protesters at Trump supporters. And it much the offensive literally everybody, like some supporters like how dare you call Anti Foss, I'm like I'm making a point man these people, showing up and burning hats, are doing the best possible thing they could do to make sure truck gets reelected. That's the joke, get it. They don't really like Trump, I and stand that the point is if they showed up with a smile on their face and handed out muffins and candy bars,
and then said just consider, checking out you know another candidate people would smile and I appreciate that. I appreciate you, you engaging you, you know settle in and and and cordially, and that will happen is a couple of people would go online and I think I'll vote for you know young or tulsi. Instead, we get this. This is the most destructive thing. It's almost like. It's called black propaganda right, I'm not! Actually. I don't actually think it is. I think literally, these people are insane, so I know many of them and they go out and they attack people, but black again. That is when you it's like a false flag right. If, if the Republicans hired people to wear masks and go out and start the violence, that would be black propaganda, so they look bad. However, let's be actually clear, you need to do that anti for acts full all the time, and that's why I jokingly say they are trump supporters at the idea being. If you want to get trump like to do this, steel, hats beat people start fights, fight with cops and burn things in the street
you're going to find that there going to be a lot of people in their homes, scared, saying these people need to stop and they're going to vote for Trump because of it. So you know what Trump couldn't ask for a better circumstance and that's why I think we'll probably see a lot more trump rallies in bigger cities. Trump is going to target, not the big cities, necessarily like you really well. You know you want to come in California bomb. I don't know what city in California. I think you want to like the LA area, I'm not sure it was about. Was it was it that was about where I don't know anyway. The point is, I think, Trump like like Minnesota Minneapolis, not the biggest cities in the country, but it's a big city trump going to target these. You know these bigger cities, not the big three, though that way you get more of this I'd be willing to bet Trump goes there for several reasons: he needs to target these. Have your blue areas. He needs to find an expanding base. He's already won the well. He hasn't want to go to the suburbs, but he he's all who won the more rural areas. This gives him an opportunity to now attack a new front in twenty
Christine. He went to those rural areas to set any sad trust me and the people just barely did they slightly. Did seriously is margins were razor thin in some areas, but he want now. I believe, it's fair to say, he's proven himself to these areas by by bolstering the economy. As far as anyone concerned, you can make every argument in the book about how it's not really truck. Maybe it can be better, it doesn't matter what matters is the economy is good and people, because I don't rock the boat whatever it is, keep a gun. This gonna open up truck to go to these areas and the soap, so he has an opportunity. Now he doesn't need to go to all these rural areas. He probably still will do some but the new opportunity is that he can get viral clips and viral videos, and I assure you you know in in the early campaign of twenty fifteen Trump was saying what it do. You say something like you know: I'll pay, your legal bills or whatever. I know its contents.
Some people can argue what he really sad and I try to get to a political debate about. You know fake news, but there were, there were fights, you know there were protesters and and try and Trump was was rowdy, but the media turned. You know them that was bad and Trump learn very quickly said no. No, no, you know you know calm down just, mount here. Let him you know, don't don't don't fight, don't threaten 'em all that stuff. He realized. It was bad. He learned quickly. Now I think Trump in his people know well. I I really do believe trump his campaign staff as managers. They know base play the same thing. I do right. I would be surprised if they're watching this video right now when when when they like, they know, we all know, When you see when a regular American is sitting at home eating their you know, popcorn and watching a flick with their family after work. And they see this video but shared on Facebook, they're going to they're going to be shocked and they're going to think about the safety of their family, and
I think about that young woman who was attacked and and that and that Father is going to be like. I do not want that for my daughter and my son walking down the street. This is insane. This needs to stop and what do you thinks gonna happen? Looking back, it must stop. Therefore, I'm going to agree with those who attacked my children, no they're going to say we need to make sure trump stays in and uh something about this. I think it's fair to point out. Some people might be like a this is only gotten worse because of trump, and maybe we should give in because some people, you know I don't know illogical Howard S, whatever I think, for the most part you will find these protests are fodder and fuel for Donald Trump, and he knows it and is, can. Pain, knows it and they are going to use these videos and they're going to use them for all they are worth going to leave it. There stick around next segments coming up at one hundred pm on this channel, and I will see you all there.
Last night CNN hosted an l g b, T Q Town Hall and Chris Cuomo offended everybody by making a joke several protests, a couple protests erupted I'll make something clear. I believe it's extremely important that we we protect the rights of the Lgbtq community. We have these discussions and I appreciate I've I've she the idea of having this town hall. Now that being said, I believe CNN was making a spectacle of these people of this community and causing real harm. I will criticize to an extent, the protesters, but for the most part I can respect the protest by all means. If you, if you want to say something, you want to be hurting you take that MIKE okay, the the problem is CNN, knows but they're doing. First of all, Chris Cuomo is being slammed for saying he used female pronouns do apologize, for it will come to this story. A black trans woman took the microphone away from a transgender child and started yelling. You have you raced black trans
for the last time. Okay, I believe CNN did this on purpose. I believe they know who these people are? They knew this is going to happen. They they have security. For this lesson, another protester Rob did what the hell the flag saying we are dying again. I can respect that. But this is a spectacle. Cnn is doing this for ratings. Let me make something clear: Anderson Cooper with millions of dollars, democratic, two thousand and twenty candidates like PETE booted, Judge, Beto, O'Rourke Kamala. You thing that anybody entering this building wasn't screened. Now they were screened. In fact, in most I I went to an Rnc debate early on in Miami and they wouldn't let you bring any. Thing inside like no bags. Nothing! Ok, like you want your phone works. Well, that was it. He had a bag. Sorry, you can't come in What I actually somehow got a bag in. I guess they don't notice and I got stopped by good service and searched. So let me, let me ask you this:
They were able to smuggle in these flags how security new, because the answer is I if CNN was well aware and wanted the viral clips wanted. Viral articles wanted it to generate a tent. Because they don't actually care about passing laws to help people they care about generating traffic in clicks I get it that's the media does The media is in the business of getting your attention, so they can still ads, and this is the best way to do it, but I must admit, I feel, like the protesters were used ok, it's just my opinion, but maybe CNN really didn't know in their in their terrible at what they do find. What I mean to say is I think, CNN was like who we got protesters coming. Oh, hey: let's take their flags away it. Let me do it, it could have been a simple, as we better not take their flags away, because they'll get outraged, attack us fine, take a look at Chris Cuomo. Kamala Harris said her pronouns She her and hers and Cuomo said mine too, and then
my hair was like. Alright, oh you just said something offensive there's another a moment here where a woman had her name mispronounced and got a fact. You could see her face shot was a Trans one. And then she was called Shay and she said name is Shia and that it was violence to miss pronounce their name. When I see this, I will absolutely state. I am critical of those who it's not violence, to miss pronounce someone's name. It's called normal life and some people mispronounce names Crisco made of stupid joke. Please can we call him down and these protesters this protester took the microphone away for how many child who is transgender, asking question to up to a presidential candidate. This is disruptive, and it's have an event where there were literally talking about what you wanted to talk about. So I don't you're, who you are where you come from, I am an equal opportunity, critic. Okay, if you want to disrupt an event for you go ahead, and do it don't be surprised when you get some criticism but again
I think the bigger responsibility falls on CNN. Who allow is this to happen and I think they do it because they want the shock spectacle. They want the outrage. Videos. They want conservative controversy and then they want to say see you look at all the big. It's not listen. They absolutely could have gotten anybody to come up and speak out these issues without being disruptive without getting offended at their name I understand, there's a lot of conservatives who say no to him. These people are gonna are are are just like this and I'm saying no, no! No! No! No, there are conservative trans people, big zest, transcript on a monolith, they're individuals, and we should absolutely do we can to protect the rights of the Lgbtq community. We shouldn't be forced to bring in conservative trans people, but I think it's fair to say you can bring on good advocates and bad advocates when it comes to doing interviews. You don't really really bothers me and I'm the only break you break it break this down for you in a larger context, the better analogy I see video after video of cancer.
Curves who go out to interview people and ask them questions on politics, and it's like all these people are so dumb. You see the same thing, Jimmy Kimmel does he goes to Hollywood and he grabs random people and they take a highlight reel of how dumb people are I went to the march for our lives. Okay, it was. It was the big two a protest thing from the you know, the parkland kids and I found that many of the people I talked to didn't, know much about about how these weapons work and when it was clear I would say: okay, you know some of these. I will use this for interviews, but some people would just be like. Oh I I didn't realize how much okay? That's fine, I'm not here to make a hit piece that makes you all look crazy, I'm here to find who have ideas about this. I will explain themselves calmly and and and and and spent fairly, and I found a decent amount of people who knew enough to have. Conversation and say here's what I think I understand you know I would say I don't know a lot about this issue, but I do know about these and here's what I'm thinking and it was
surprising to me that I could find a decent amount of people and not make them all look like morons. I can't stand this, they go to rallies and they go look out dumb. The trump supporters. Are they go to the protests they lookout dumb? The protesters are, I guess, there's a lot of dumb people but stop straw, manning and start steel manning? Ok, that means, instead of going after the weakest to make you so you look right actually go after the real argument ignore crazy people, so you want you want to vent this. You know this was to me CNN. This was CNN, in my opinion, taking people selecting for audience who they knew would make a spectacle, because let me tell you something when Bernie Sanders. Did this town hall and all of these audio members ask questions it turns out. They worked for the Dnc and then CNN apologize later. Oh, we didn't know. Yes, CNN knows who is in the audience? It is not just like people are open, the or anybody can come in. No, they know. What's going on your search to screen their presidential candidate and CNN it shows people they knew would cause a scene and now
you're getting articles making them all look crazy. This is not what we need for the actual conversation. What we need for conversation, our common, reasonable people to passionately explain we my just take action and here's. Why now? Of course, CNN did have those people there only a couple of protests, but I must stress when they br and the person who is shocked and offended. Their name was mispronounced when they bring on the person who takes the mic away from a child and starts yelling about Trans back on being erased, which is literally with the event is talk about and when they bring in people who are allowed to have flags do something we are dying. That to me is CNN saying what can we do to get ratings? I know let's find people who will cause a scene, but that's what happens. Highlighting on reasonable behaviors protesting your own event. You know taking the Michael from a child, I look I I I don't care if you're, if you're white black, you know gay straight whatever, if you're gonna, if you're gonna act a fool, I will
criticize you most of the people. It's event were absolutely fine and I did a good job talk about their positions. My criticism is not at those who want to want to protest because they are passionate. My criticism is not at the anti Trump protesters who are just uninformed very dumb or at the Trump supporters who are also very dumb. I think dumb people exist. Stupid people exist in rational people exists. The point is, we should not be focusing on this in exchange for clicks, okay, I'm gonna ask again: how did that flag get in to see how did how did they get that into the CNN on the scene and sat I mean it literally? Do you really believe securities at lax, I don't buy it, they knew what they were doing. They knew it would get clicks and then not be caught. It would be controversial and then they have this big viral moment where you are today right yesterday, USA, today right it up and to me it it is just. It is media strategy, complete media strategy
they were literally talking about these issues? So it doesn't make sense, but I'll tell you what does make sense USA today, writing a story about the protests, pundits controversy generating outrage. That's that's the point. So, yes, there are a lot of people. Then I really don't like on Youtube, who purposefully target stupid people or if the purpose of talking to people is that yeah I get a lot of people are. I will make these videos and bill. I Kalika dumb people aren't I'm like dude, I get it there are. A lot of people will pay attention to politics. Yes, they they probably shouldn't sell in inside a certain capacity, but for the most part of the blame on it's a horrifying reality live in politics is a nightmarish battle. Why don't you go out and find real people who can actually challenge? You can actually have a conversation with and actually you know, prove your ideas right. This is not just a right or left thing. This is a spectacle thing all. You know that if I go out under the
and I film you know how dumb everyone is. Then people will be confirmation bias. I new Group X was done I think that's a CNN did. I think they wanted this to happen. Stress they know who their audience. Members are. I you get it man, you know. I said it fifty times already, I I I I detest CNN they say audience members interrupted. Oh, you know what you get the point. I don't need to read for you the breakdown of exactly what happened, but trance protesters hold flags and chant he's now dressing how diverse and challenge the Lgbtq Community is, and that must be open to acceptance. Listen in any other event. Would we tolerate protesters protesting? The very ideas were talking about for the most part. Now would we hand them the microphone? Would we say? Yes, please continue. The answer is no events are, are are set to take place for conversation. So let me point out: not only were the flags allowed in or they have no security in there and you know that's insane they were, they were allowed to their their. What about
flags in and they were allowed to get in that continue their protest, as was this other trans woman. But how is any of this? You know I conducive to the conversation that we're going to solve these problems. In my opinion, this wouldn't be tolerated. In any other circumstance, could you imagine if they did a town hall on you know a standard Democrat town Hall and a bunch people stepped up with flags. Has it happened? Maybe it's happened before. Maybe CNN, really just is really bad. What they do. I don't know fact check me: Google, it have people broken out with objects, signs and whatever, as seen in town hall, I know people have yelled things, people yell things at as with Warner criers, whatever yelling things I get, you can't stop that, but what about people bringing in objects? You know a flag or something, and when this these things happen, what do they do? They shut the protesters down and kick them out when people start yelling and say: ok, we know we know, keep it down and then
sure you see them get escorted here? They didn't do that so I'll end with one final thought. I agree with the town hall. I think it was a good idea I think it is a very good idea. I just wish CNN wasn't so disingenuous. I agree with the idea in these conversations they need to be head. It's very difficult. Often I'm willing to bet this view going to get slammed and people are going to criticize me say how dare you criticize the protesters? Well, I don't care we're going to solve this problems. We sit down for a conversation, and that means, if you want to be disruptive, you are hurting the process and, in the end, this spectacle that scene inputs on is modern for conservatives who are going to be like see, you look at these people who are nuts and you're going to out of moderates being turned off. In the conversation saying, I don't have any that you know what man that's that's crazy. I want to so here's here's the problem to the people who actually protest of themselves, but their own event. You you you, you have to understand: it's not helping. Okay, it's it's
fuel for the other side and to CNN who wants the clicks? The traffic often allows it to happen. That's that to me is disgusting. I'm done next time is coming up. The four pm you did that comes last in cast and also either. China is a very controversial place to say the least. You know right now they have concentration camps like actual ones, would have gone and rounded up their own citizens because they have to be Muslim made disparaging talks about what they believe and many of these people. All are being re educated, they say, let's take China's word for it. Ok, not really. China is horrifying. What they're doing is terrifying and people in Hong Kong do not want to live under this system. And I can respect that, while it's very controversial and very complicated- and I can respect the new wants- let me just say I I think we as Americans, recognized why chinese censorship is nightmarish and why what they're doing- The speakers is also extremely nightmarish or Americans. This country, founded on particularly freedom of religion, what China
does with censorship and these camps flies in the face of everything we believe in, or at least are most important tenants. That's why Steve Kerr is a coward. The NBA is trash and we wait till you see this now. You may have heard about the NBA Ben into port China shaking and their little urine soaked boots terrified because they want to make money. You know what ever been to an NBA game, so I'm sure they don't care, but I'm not going to go to one from you know the the only way I would actually consider goings of actually went holding up a sign, saying, free, Hong Kong. I would really do that, because I don't do the whole protester type thing, but hey man, understand the nuances, Hong Kong and I respect the right for free speech and free expression to resist Communist China. I get it. I get it with curve, finally breaks his silence and he says well when I went to China, nobody asked me about AR fifteens. I could not believe it, he decided. The best thing you could possibly do is compared
the fact that some crazy people sometimes get weapons and take the lives of many people, and it is that marriage. Don't get me wrong, let me run it is horrifying and one of them Siri are one the most serious problems. We face the a nation when these crazy people get it powered rifles and go. Take the lives of the innocent. I'm not going to downplay that for a second and that's why I'm so offend, but I guess that Steve Kerr would dare compare these moments to Watcom you best. China is doing to the weekers. When China is censoring people when China is interfere, as China is doing a lot of really horrifying things. Let's put it that way, you cannot compare them to the problems we face. We get it. We have problems, we need to empathize and sympathize with those who are victims but Steve Kerr, and
Steve Kerr in an interview goes, I mean when I went over there. They don't ask me about our human rights. Abuse is ok, listen! The US does have human rights abuses. Wanna go back to the George W Bush era. I can tell you all about it. Even the Obama era. I get it man, but how are you going to defend China simply because two wrongs don't make a right dude? We all sit here, call out what everyone is done. Donald Trump just sent three thousand troops in Saudi Arabia. Bad move, don't like it: Morocco, a drone strike american citizens, bad move, don't like it, George, W Bush, Abu Grabe, we get it. The problems exist and we don't like them that doesn't give you an excuse to go well, I know just as bad but hey so were we. Therefore I don't got a call on anyone. No, you know dude, it's quite simple, and you know what check this out Portland Trail, Blazers, Portland, trail, blazers joined boycott against Israel team
first ties with company that works with israeli defense forces October tenth, two thousand and nineteen really Nba has no problem as the NBA facing out rate of the general manager of the Houston Rockets capitulated to censorship by chinese government. The trail blazers quietly sever ties to the manufacture. Leupold, which is a contract to produce accessories for the israeli Defense Force should, I said, listen the other day was a video that viral, where these guys NBA Game one free Hong Kong, shirts, holding up signs sign, saying Google uighurs these these, dude only they were security, something sad. What is this you gotta leave? You can't have this and it's understandable to Google. The leaders are like now are like now you can't. They are my Muslims who are being detained in China and RE education. I'm doing your because you know what the really doing like torture, chambers and stuff, but the guy goes. That's political statement. Gotta go! Oh! Is it a political statement? You know, I said that I said
I'd be willing to bet. If they held up a sign, saying impeach Drumpf, nobody would have complained these companies. Run. The best tweets I saw was at the NBA gave North Carolina more flak over their bathroom bill. Then they do give give China over their actual genocide. How are you They tell me that Steve Kerr, how you going tell me: well, they don't ask think about it, and then we literally have- I know I know you're, not the Portland trail. Blazers, that's fine, but you see this is the point they have. No prob a bending, the knee during the national anthem and saying, oh America, bad. Oh, we do all these horrifying things. They have no problem saying: oh Israel, bed, that's fine man! You want to call out Israel mostly about him more power to Ya Man, free speech and all that right. I think the Kaepernick stuff was silly. I think it's silly that he protested, but I also think, like you know, that's just my opinion. Do you protest man? I support his right to do so and everything you know fine go for it. Absolutely speak your mind, but when you then you know when you, when you have no
problem being like man. America is colonial and all these problems and then China comes knocking. You go whoa ain't. Nothing wrong with China, though, give me a break these companies. You think they care about social justice, they don't they care about their bottom line and they're betting against you. That's the point: they're not going to bet against Communist China, the chinese government, because I'm going to lose that fight authoritarian chinese government's going to come my product. So I'm not going to make money but think about it. They know, and the United states me via the popular opinion, will always be to side against the conservative position. Not always, but typically so here we are, he writes fascinating they'll say is real bad. Israel's towing boycott Israel and I ask: will you hold your principles in the face of everything? So it's not about principles. This is about appeasing their urban liberal fan base. But I'll tell you this man, it's funny, because I assure you most
most of the urban liberals. Watch they don't care, they don't care about you boycotting Israel. Do there probably like I don't care but I'll. Tell you man, you know it sounds really really bad to those those urban liberals watching basketball game. When you bend the knee to China, you know what man, let's do this. You know who really knows how to stand up these guys. I'm gonna say this man huge inspiration. These guys are incredible: Matt, Stone, Trey, Parker, wow man, my level of respect for these guys that has gone through the roof over this she said South Park, Trolls China after country bands show I give you a standing ovation, because not only did they may in episode slamming China for and and the industries that bend them, but in the next step so just the other day. You know if they did, they had Randy State F, the chinese gov
on the show. That's what I'm talking about! That's that that's that's the anti authoritarian stuff. I grew up with these dudes messed, Entree, Parker, wet, very wealthy right, they've succeeded. They made a ton of hits and South park. Is that flagship and they have no problem using that show and risking everything to give the middle finger to China? Bravo. I will admit that I really really. I really hope this can be an issue that brings us together. China is doing so much so much bad stuff that we need to be I did a whole video on it it it any views is enormous. Like half as many views that normally guy I get its fine, some people blame. Some people were like dude. I think it's youtube suppressing it because they support China, whatever. Maybe I think, most people are paying attention. Is we gotta change that listen man? I think it's insane that you,
if you're gonna, you're gonna, join these left wing protest and bend the need to China. I don't not individual, it's different people, but the NBA. These big companies, the game they play Mass entree, Parker of Nope, no problem saying if you we should all have that mentality. We should recognize that the fight we have in this country politically is nothing compared to the fight we have with China and, what's going to happen, and what this escalation will take us there, pressing in the south, China, sea, okay, they're violating that that they're building military bases on on on on the the tolls they're violating the at the agreements of, I believe it's, the Paris agreement, building coal power plants, they're not playing, the rules they're stealing intellectual property, they're, exploiting trade laws and and and taking away extracting the manufacturing base of countries, particularly the US, while Trump is seeking to reverse all that. I can't tell you if it's going to work or not, but I know that at least he cares right. Perhaps brothers, two things. Trees are folks on the real thought that the real threat
that is, China's expansion and what that means for us in our culture, when an authoritarian, censorious government, who'd attains Muslims in concentration camps, is gaining power. You want to complain about Trump being a xenophobic, tell you what you don't scares me more. If the US loses its position in China takes over expect to see more concentration camps popping up, we cannot ever allow that sort of Steve Kerr. You want to compare where the tragedies in the US that we try to stop versus the tree. She's in China, they purposefully an act. I can tell you where you go. Take that basketball! That's disgusting! One hundred percent disgusting, look man. We can fight about culture, we can fight about politics. You can call the orange man band all day and night, but I think we all can see China is doing. We can all see what the threat facing Hong Kong is, and I think we can all agree, obviously not all of us, but at least enough of us can agree. We won't stand for that and something must be done.
Whether or not that brings people behind Trump. I don't think so. I don't but I'll tell you this man there's a military threat from China. There is there's a military threat. Okay and- and it's been talked about for quite some time- they've been stories about You know south charge, I chinese warships in the South, China Sea, pressing on international waters, in the: U S, doing a show of force and answer, and it's and it's terrifying, China's stealing our intellectual property. For for what decades now and nothing's been done. Instead, you know we got. We got businesses and politicians in America. Who's hold out this country in exchange for personal wealth when they arrange these the and they tried pushing through Tpp the transpacific partnership and it was a nightmare and people stood up to it. You know who stood up to it Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. You don't gotta like the Orange Manor, crazy Bernie, but at least there was there was a message. People on the same page enough enough of these slick
will sell snake oil salesman. Saying trust me I'll help you out and, turn around and selling out their country to the highest bidder. So you want to argue about whether not Trump is doing the right thing with a trade war. It's hurting us all, I'm I'm I'm down here. Okay, I've got a very strong opinion, one way or the other it is affecting farm or is there subsidy is going in now and some people say it's bed we'll see what happens, but that means jobs have to come back many p, argue that tariffs are a bad idea, but I'll tell you what's worse, giving away a our money. Borrowing money from China. You know China Foxconn, for instance, where they manufactured the Iphone people were walking off, The building in mass suicide, okay, I do not think that's a place. We should ever arrange that deal with, so they can do more of it. It's it's a you know a man I'll leave it there, I'm disgusted by this american cop. It is absolutely disgusted. This is the kind of slime that is hurting our country and the world we are not perfect. Am Erica, has done so many things wrong, but I'll tell you what car
centration camps? What we did in the 50s, the jacket with japanese internment was horrifying and we're never going to do it again will never allow it to happen today. This is a country that, whether or not no matter what the left is going to tell you, we don't want fascist authoritarians, but China another story, they're, building more coal power plants they are, they are, they are fifty years, but the rest of us and they are becoming more powerful. I expect any visa to China from me at this point will be denied, but you know what I don't care. It's about time. We stood up and said: y'all need to stop and these pathetic spineless cowards shaking in their urine soaked boots, need to step up and make a bold statement He will not stand behind you. We will not so for you and you will not make a penny from us if you keep locking people in concentration camps, if you keep censoring people and shutting down protests, it's a two way ST man. But He wants that green. You know he wants that sweet sweet
Green Forest Bank account I get it. That's called evil. Ok, in my opinion, stick around. We got some more evil. Coming up in a few it's it's one of those days I'll see I'll see in a little bit. I don't care if you're on the left or you're on the right. The fact is the establishment love some juicy war, they can't sit by. You know I in in there sitting there in their chairs, with their veins popping on their foreheads, just waiting to drop a bomb on some civilians. You know what I mean: they love it. They love the war. There's the antiwar left. There is the answer. You are right. The populace tend to oppose it. For some reason you know it right now, there's a story in April: oh Cossio courts. As signs a letter with Rand Paul in Omar Phrasing, Donald Trump for calling for the withdrawal of US forces from Syria and you know also did also AOC. Thank you. Thank you will cause your test for coming out and saying this, but guess what? When Trump, actually does it
She then criticizes the moves and you're abandoning our allies. Oh you know what dude I've had it? Okay, you know Rand Paul. He goes on the view check out the story. Rand Paul goes down in flames on the view. Don't explain. The republican senators flailing performance did not win over anyone on the view Friday morning apparently met Wilstein loves that sweet Juicy WAR, Rand Paul gave an outstanding performer explaining exactly why? It's time we got our soldiers out of Syria because there's fifty of them how many words are there, and what can we really do and he get slammed by every on the view saying, do the and our allies and Rand Paul correctly states. Turkeys, are ally, okay? The FSA was our ally. What what do you mean were banned like we're in the middle of something complicated, and it's about time we should have been there in the first place, he's right, and then what is this guy Matt Wilstein Right, Rand Paul goes down in flames
He didn't win over anyone. Apparently, you can actually watch the segment when people clapped several times for Rand Paul and you get a calm and measured response as to why Trump was right to get our troops out of Syria, but don't think I'm gonna sit here and cut Trump any actual slack. They just announced twenty three thousand troops in Saudi Arabia. It may be less. Some people are saying Fox NEWS reported the thousand. I don't care you can't. You can't tweet out Trump, that you're going to end the middle eastern wars and it was a waste of time and money and they turn around and send our troops to Saudi Arabia. You know a man, I'm telling you is why I don't want to support anybody, any buddy at all, but I'll tell you what I will support the circumstances. Rand Paul gave a stellar performance on the view when he explained the complicated nature of these wars and why we need to pull out of Syria. So I will say this: I do not support trump when he wants to send troops in this year, but I will support
someone who wants to pull them. Ok, I do not support him when he wants a son, trip to Saudi Arabia, but I will support him when he wants to take troops out of Syria I'll take what I can get, because I'm not a crazy person. I don't think I will ever get everything I want so also but I'll, tell you what taken fifty trips out of Syria may be good news, but three thousand, maybe a thousand. What are the numbers? Are man? There's there's there's no end right. This is what you get. This is the machine. I don't really blame trump. For I gotta be honest. I don't really blame Obama. Support for the most part or even to an extent bush. I blame Bush a whole lot more I'll, be honest, but I think it's the office. You know I I caught a conversation with Steven Crowder. I think this may have been like an extended by myself, so I don't know, I said if you don't. I said I think it's the office and he said You know. Carter says he thinks that once you become the president, you realize how bad things really are that you're told all of the all these things like I'm going get us out of these wars and I'm going to bring our troops home going to save money and then, when you get off
they hand you that packet, you open up and you're like you're. We definitely can't leave, can't a really good point, and I I I understand it. I agree with that for the most part, but I believe there's a more important. Aspect of this, I believe that it's because it's not so much, you know you learn how bad things are. It's that you learn about the power you have to do something and you don't want to give it up. It's a fact. Man, all with power, don't want to lose it, no matter what they will. They will claw and scratch and fight, and they were fuse to lose their power. I'm inspired by the story of what's the I'm forgetting the roman dudes name, he was appointed. He was appointed like Supreme Chancellor Emperor, with like a Supreme Authority in wartime, and he quickly gave it up saying he didn't want it and that that that's inspirational right! It's you know! It's like it's like store,
free of gladiator, the movie Marcus Aralias or whatever his name was where he's like. I don't want to be king in their life and that's why you should be the people with power, no matter what the power is don't want to give. So what happens? Is somebody comes into the office and their handlers in form sing like wow things are really bad in the world and then and the general says, but sir, you have drones, you can change this and they accept it and they say you're right I can. I can send that drone strike and go block that restaurant killed at sixty year consider then Bravo bomber. You guys here that Gratitude Bird didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize, Red headed, Libertarian, an excellent joke. If you follow, you should follow her on Twitter. She said perhaps I'm going to paraphrase here, but you said: Greta didn't drone bomb enough, so pulling into Nobel Peace Prize and I'm just like. Yes standing ovation, thank you very much. Josie redheaded, libertarian excellent, excellent joke Barack Obama. What did he win the peace price for these people in office? They want war, but I'll tell you what let's get back to the
Rand Paul discusses withdrawal of US troops from Syria and it was calm and measured and there was clapping for both sides. Now here's the problem in this episode ran says it's not so much, how about in our allies, but realizing were allies with Turkey in accomplishing situation. They ignore everything. He says they just ignore it, and then I kid you not the apparent headline Anna Navarro's yell at him for man's to her because they were asking him about his opinion on Syria. You know what men, why is it? The Ustr. Publishment neoliberal. Whatever you want to call 'em social justice. People are. Are pro war? I'd like to know three little. They say Meghan Mccain, skipped out on Rand Paul's appearance on the view Friday morning, citing personal reasons, despite accusing the GOP senator of having kurdish blood on his hands in Syria. The day before you know what somebody said in response to Donald Trump's troops into Saudi Arabia, you get.
How can we send us some eights? We do this. Thank you get promised you know some person and then you end up electing John Mccain. You know like it is people get in office and they're like let's, let's roll- and here we are with troops heading to saudi arabia- man, I'm not with We have been in this perpetual state of war for two decades and I look at all the problems and all these arguments we have and I'm like dude. If you want to talk about healthcare, how much money can we reallocate from spending money overseas building infrastructure in countries we don't live in? how much of that money in those troops going to Saudi Arabia could be spent on fixing the roads in Detroit. I get it though Saudi Arabia pays cash money, but hey man. Maybe we should bolster our economy internally. I thought that's. What trump was all about. I thought Trump was gonna, bring jobs back and and get that economy flowing inside. Yes, what's the point of sending these trips Saudi Arabia? How much money is it worth the oil? I guess man, you know what I would. Rather, in my opinion, live poorly
if it meant, I was responsible for myself and took care of myself, and that includes my country too. If that means, you know if, We have the opportunity to maintain our our global oil wealth or whatever, because Saudi Arabia is going to cost us. Those bucks were going to trade for oil or whatever, and that allows us to live more cheaply and market like I don't care man, maybe that's just me, I don't therefore, I'm living in a van down by the river as long as I'm take you care myself and responsible for myself. I don't care if I'm more. Sixteen hour days down on the farm with my family, so long as I'm responsible for myself, I believe in community. I get it, but I ask: why are we traveling all over the world and doing these things? Now? Let's do this, I'm
counterpoint. I understand the severity of the complexity of the of international conflict and and war. I know that if we aren't guess what China would be- and this is the most top most challenging problem- I understand this argument. I do and I lean away from it if we aren't in these areas, if we aren't arranging these deals, China gains more power And that's what's truly terrifying to me. It seems like we're heading towards a cliff. We can't and we can't stop the the United States could back away and say I leave all these regions and they'll be devastated in a lot of ways. Fine, but we should have been there in the first place. I understand that and in China swoops in picks up scraps and gains more power. So what do you do? I don't know, but in the end I lean towards how about we just don't, go and blow up civilians in foreign countries. How about we don't send our troops into harm's way fifty soldiers in Syria,
you know I know I was gonna talk about Rand Paul. If there's anything that bothers me more than anything, it's these tv warmongers, it's these. If these people who don't know or care about the real cost of life, the cost of our of our country of our people and those that get killed because we drop those bombs, much respect to Rand Paul Forest Kalman, Richards defense of of getting troops out of Syria, so you know for it he gets smeared and slammed and I'm just so sick of it. Man it's one of the most frustrating things that our country has been for twenty years, nearly twenty years in Afghanistan, I'm rights, I'm not but all we ever hear the same excuse if we leave now what will happen to the I'm, I don't know we should been there in the first place. You want you I'll point the finger, no problem. The people cause the problem.
Also, you started this. That's your fault, okay and work, we're stopping it. Now. You don't just, I think, was RON Paul, Rand's, dad who said if your prescribed the wrong medicine, you don't just keep taking it. You stop Well, that's true, and there may be withdrawals and you may get sick, but you gotta. Stop! I'm sorry, man, I'm sorry for being frustrated in this one. I'm just Like I'm so sick of the establishment pro war, what is wrong with these people? Man, and I'll say this straight up: it is not a left right thing on this. Show Meghan Mccain made these comments right and you can see the left and the right are both Lindsey. Graham, I get it man, the Republicans have been pro or I'm not surprised by that, but the left was supposed to be anti war. I learned my lesson with Barack Obama. He won the peace prize for what sending more troops in the Middle EAST and blow up kids. Please spare me, I don't trust any of it. I don't trust any of you. I think you're all liars and talk about the warmongers, the warmongers who say we're going to give Obama.
Surprisingly goes blows up. Kids, I'm I'm I'm. I mean that literally Abdul Rehman, Awlaki a sixteen year old american citizen at a at a civilian restaurant blown up by a drone strike ordered by Obama. Spare me is, it's all, be s props around Paul, much respect everyone else, you're insane. I got one more segment coming up, we'll see in a minute, The UK is in a very strange place, I must admit. Manchess thirteen faces offender status for touching seventeen year old on the arm and waste quote touching someone's arm to get their attention. I would have thought was normal? Will? Apparently it's not anymore boy. Oh boy, United Kingdom. What is wrong with you? It just feels like everything is coming to a nice and doesn't it it's chaos? There used to be order, and now it's falling in a cast. How
We live in a system. Actually, you know what it's more like. Warder is becoming, so it that there it's it's too much order. It's so much order, that's becoming chaotic. This is a rule part of a system. What location of what you can or can't do as something in people being like? What can we do if you can't do anything? If everything is against the law, then technically nothing is right. So this dude's facing a crime, because he tried meeting a girl who then cried later because she felt unsafe man yoga problems, but don't don't don't don't wrong. I know we got the same problem here in the US for the most part, let's read from reason: last fall in Manchester England and Orqu Nineteen year old male student touched a seventy year old, female classmates arm on the street during the daytime. He later said he had wanted to make a friend this rattled, the young woman, so much that she went to the police yeah.
Now? The young man is facing possible jail time and could be placed on the offense registry, the Compl intense evidence was very clear, was very clear logic at a logical and without embellishment, a magistrate called the young men week Think of no motivation for you to touch the victim other than you know. There saying it was an adult offense. Had she not taken evasive action, the assault likely to have been even more serious own. Oh really, Alice. Hearing student Jamie Griffith was convicted of two charges of I'll say I'm going to get deranked on you too, but you know what sexual assault in part, because the accuser now eight, he said that she had no doubt that, had she not moved away from him the first time he touched her arm, he would have gone on to touch her breast. She she's just speculating in their convicting him on that. What happened to english common law? Fellas, hey man, we we come from the same place. You y'all lost it as she told the court.
I was just set on getting home and reviewing for my mock exams, but, as I was come over the bridge, I saw him facing a hedge and I thought it was really weird. He wasn't doing anything. He was just sing bad staring at it. As I walked towards him. I was watching him and he suddenly swung around. So he was facing me. I remember it happening so fast as soon as he moved. I moved and I said, stop, and he touched me on my arm. I sort of jolted out of the way and went into the road to avoid him and he very quickly walked away. I forgot about it for awhile, because I had my exams. I just thought it was weird behavior. It does sound like weird behavior. Does it sound like a crime punishable? by possible jail time and a placement on the offense registry. No, the accuser reported the incident to the police in a second incident. The young woman was walking to school. When office, walked in front of her and touched her side. It was quite awhile three to five seconds. She said he smirked at me. He didn't stop. He just touched me and walk
stuff and I broke down crying in the street. It was quite dramatic or are you serious, listen man. We have major problems. If you breakdown, cry in the middle of the street 'cause someone touched you for a few seconds. What what this is, nuts the accuser had since read about some other incidents on a local facebook page and thought that perhaps the encounter was related to them, so she and her mom filed a crime report afterwards, he said every time I started working, I would cry because I would think of it. I felt very unsafe, even in my own home. What do if this is you can, if their this is not a matter for getting someone arrested. You need therapy, you need someone to walk you through this and stop being so take like paranoid. What is happening this is this. Is the stories like this keep happening? This is this is some
buddy who is dangerously unwell. We hear these stories of people crying about Trump. Winning thinking is going to go and round people up and also their insanity. It's like dude. These people have lost their minds. You know what men the knowledge use, is calluses from playing guitar when you're young? You need to exercise that strength that that independence? Okay, reliance? No matter, if you're, a man or a woman, you can talk about how men are stronger on average and so many of us to fear all that argument. Stuff, yeah, fine, fine, fine, women carry pepper spray, they defend themselves. You've got to be responsible. The world is the way the world is. But I'll tell you this. I don't care who you are, what side of the aisle you're on. If we cannot allow people who break down crying from thinking about someone touching them for a few seconds, we cannot allow them to push these laws and his presidents and get people arrested over it grow up. You want to go out in middle, go for it go for a hike. What do you think is going to say when they go for a jog in a mountain lion, pops up? Are they going to go
oh no! I'm going to cry because of mountain lion. Is there too bad? How about you actually learn how to control your emotions and survive a true, traumatic experience? Look I get it most. People confront with mountain are going to survive. The point is this is not that this is a due to walk by you and smiled. He touched you for a few seconds. Oh man, I've had women, put moves on me that have been overtly. Yeah like non consensual, but dude. Look like I've been to parties and girls are like grab me and you know it happens. I absolutely positive. It happens more to women. The point I'm making is You can argue that, because I'm a guy, I don't care, but I think there's a there's a I your like I'm not going to report every little incident. Nor am I gonna cry about it. She was applying to College Oxford University and was hampered by this.
Yes! Well, then you should get you to go home and sit a padded room where you can be safe all right. Both incidents happened when the accuser and the accused right school together, starting for their a levels. Which are more or less the English are coming, the US a as for Griffiths. He had been dealing with something on the side. Unbearably lonely. He told the magistrate he googled how to make a friend. It was a good. It was good to start off with a joke. He read, he decided to give it a try it. I want to touch your arm to start a conversation and she just walked off. My intention was to make a friend all my friends had left. I was lonely. I just wanted to speak. To someone accept, explained the words just didn't come: what she read as a smirk. He says he intended as a friendly smile. As for the physical contact, Touching someone's arm to get their attention, I would have thought was normal. It is excuse me, and you touch them to get their attention. Nope, not anymore. Man. Normal or not. Touching someone in public on their armor on their waste does not seem to rise level of sexual assault. Just because Something is abnormal or upsetting doesn't mean it's a crime them
straits in Manchester disagree with us now faces a possible maximum sentence of ten years in jail. Well bought brought. Bravo: U k you're locked up a scottish dude for making a Youtube joke. Then find m eight hundred pounds, and now you got dude I'd, be willing to bet Well I'll, leave it there. Listening now you gotta dude, who you know you probably read. He Prob read that one meeting somebody touching them creates a connection. However, you probably don't read that today's day and age, these like young people are, are terrified, frightened hamster people who It's cower in fear. Looking around in a pool of their own urine, like did I'll, tell you what man I've had actual crazy looking I've been mugged and my response wasn't to breakdown and cry I'll. Tell you what ma'am or I'm sorry, young young, naive, ignorant child who cries at this you crying over this because someone
arm. Let me ask you something you have someone grab you and Tellin and a blade and tell you that going to hurt you unless you hand over your money. What what do you think this world is? Okay, you know there are people who are actually mugged and hurt their people actually punched and smacked. There are people who are abused by their own families, and here you had a guy who walked past you and and and touched your are young people in this country. I am loathe to see the world in ten or twenty years, but I'll tell you one thing: let's write this up, thinking about all of the people who refuse to have kids because of climate change thing, think about all of the people who breakdown in tears and cry because they can't handle being touched. What do you think is going to happen in twenty years now? Part of me believe
it could be a world of everyone wearing you know, padded suits made of styrofoam because they're scared of everything and they need to protect themselves from naughty words. They weren't earmuffs too, or it's possible that the weakness can't survive. If these people are going to have kids, their ideas will, for the most part, leave with them and if they're going to freak out panic over someone touching their arm I'll, tell you this man. If you can't handle having an arm touch you're going to lose on every Carapar tunity to a person who can? What do you think happened? when someone goes for a handshake and they go when they agree,
Well, sir? Crying it's because someone touched me once he went to prison, they're gonna be like you can leave, it can only go so far to party believes this will all backfiring collapse. But I don't know what I can tell you is boy, the UK, I'm glad we have a constitution. Huh we've got that first, a man. We got that second member. We got that their fourth, this exam date. Yet you know you get the point. We got a lot of them and many of them have to deal with protecting us from an overbearing government. That's just it. You know the fourth, the fifth absolutely beautiful and the first window, Thomas Gruff, one there's a country founded by rebels, but we're becoming soft. Now, the? U K, you got a worse okay, because I, admittedly, think about what happened right: people in England who came to America, those were the brave pioneers, probably like the more working class types, and they said I don't care where I live. I don't live by you, but those brave men. He died on the way here then you the people who stayed behind so think about it. All of those people
the rest, their lives left the weaker of them, and I mean this respectively, didn't make it they make the journey so that left only the strongest to create the United States, one of the most powerful nations in the story of the world, if not the most and what's left in the UK. Well, everyone we left behind, so I'll drug to you, Sargon you may be one of the few people with a spine left in the UK. I know I know there are many and it was once the biggest empire. I believe it wasn't. It might be in France, in about Moses, and while when all those people leave for other let other lives and in other countries, what's left a small island where a seventeen year old girl cries because someone touched her arm. Welcome to the future man in that sad think about, like the might of the british empire, and now what's LA Seventeen year old gets a dude arrested because he touched her arm and she cried about it. Man
b, I'd I'd love to see. You know like a a a a londoner, somewhat high profile, London, you know political personality for seventy times.
