boo hey everybody come on in here I know it's a holiday but you got up so that you could so that you could could join me for the simultaneous it I'm so happy president Trump day I thought it was the fourth of July it was on my calendar as the fourth of July historically had always been the 4th of July but for the past few weeks all I've been seeing is reports from anti-trump Earth's that today is really a celebration of President Trump apparently there's going to be a big military parade and biggest fireworks of all time and I think that's pretty exciting so happy president Trump day I don't think the president planned it to be a celebration of him but his critics have made it so I know you're watching

[1:10]

have made it so I know you're watching boo in the background here she's she's going to be watching the show apparently so let's talk about all of the interesting things happening today I think we might reach peak TDs today Trump derangement syndrome here are some things happening in the news it so in no particular order these are things happening lately the company that provided the fireworks for today's celebration in Washington DC is receiving death threats death threats for providing fireworks on the fourth of July the the very hilarious kid and her family were making the parodies of aosc she was a little kid who looked like a OC and would would do all the same things they were seated they removed their account on YouTube because of death threats

[2:11]

death threats all right so the fireworks company got death threats the Mineo aoc parody got death threats and then there was the cartoonist who did the anti-trump comic and he got fired for that because of the nature of the comic but his replacement he somebody was offered the job and the guy who was offered the job said no thanks too hot no thanks then of course there's the anti-shah beating of anti now that happened recently so TDS is cranking up but here's my all-time best example Charles blow I'm not making this name up his last name is blow BL Oh W anyway Charles blows job is that the New York Times I'm just telling you the news

[3:15]

Times I'm just telling you the news Charles blow his job is that the New York Times where he's a writer and he said it in a tweet today there are tanks in the nation's capital and concentration camps at his border the drift the drift toward unimaginable is unmistakable the drift toward the unimaginable is unmistakable so Charles blow whose job is that the New York Times says that between the concentration camps he calls them and the parade were clearly sinking into a Hitler like situation now what do you hear that do you have the same reaction I do which is you can't really tell if he's serious I mean I know that he means it to be taken seriously but do you think that if you had a private

[4:16]

think that if you had a private conversation with him and he knew that you weren't going to talk about the conversation and you were and you know just a private setting and he said Charles Charles I uh I saw your tweet it's pretty funny but you don't actually think that what you're saying is the lead up to a dictator taking over the country you don't think that's actually happening to you and what would you say and here's the fun part I actually don't know I don't know if he believes this is true do you do any of you could you tell I really can't tell so that's amazing here's another amazing thing the same year that Pete Buddha jej is running for president and president Trump's said in the tweet that Alfred e Newman will not be President Mad Magazine just announced that they're

[5:17]

Mad Magazine just announced that they're gonna discontinue publishing new content so it turns out the Alfred E Newman will be looking for a new job maybe president maybe all right I tweeted out a an article by Newt Gingrich in which he is he is predicting that Khan lares will be the nominee for the Democrats and he says that he's been predicting it since January and I wondered when was the first time I predicted it so I went to my predictive account to see when I bought stock because I actually bet on table I didn't better than anybody else right so I've only placed one bet and I wanted to see what it was it was eight months ago so there was a November but I'm gonna tell you something that I'm not supposed to tell you you might

[6:18]

not supposed to tell you you might believe me you might not believe me but I'm gonna tell you because it's fun last August you probably heard most of you did I was invited to the White House and got to chat with the president now of course one does not repeat what happens the conversation with the president but I will tell you one thing that I said because I think that's fair I predicted in the Oval Office just about a year ago 11 months ago that the nominee would be calmly Harris now we don't know if she will be but I would say at this point it's sort of obvious that is that it's shaping up that way there was a period not too long ago when I lost confidence in that prediction because she was just disappearing on the campaign trail her tweets were beyond boring and I was starting to think huh is she actually just not a good candidate but then she

[7:22]

just not a good candidate but then she came alive during the debates and the the entire narrative has changed and now it looks like Biden is just slipping and Bernie's slipping and it's really gonna be preteen Warren and Harris and of the two of them Harris is I would say a head above so if it comes down to Warren and Harris I think the safe bet is with Harris although there are no guarantees in this world all right so I'm gonna go on record as being the earliest predictor of Harrison and I was predicting it publicly before before then I think I think a year ago was the first time I said it I saw a tweet by Tim Poole who said that even the progressive YouTube accounts are losing followers like crazy apparently and I didn't know this I just found this out that YouTube moved against all of the news and political stuff so it didn't matter if

[8:24]

political stuff so it didn't matter if you were left or right which would explain why David Pakman who would be more associated with left it would explain why he lost a bunch of viewers as well yes you're right we have not enjoyed the simultaneous sip yet let us pause now grab you a copy your mug your glass grab your Stein your chalice your tankard your thermos your flask the vessel of any kind fill it with coffee I like filled with your favorite look at I like coffee and now for the dopamine hit of the day thank you for reminding me the day would not have been the same without it so anyway given that YouTube has decided to suppress if that's the right word or throttle back news and political content from both the left and the right I don't know if that's the best decision in the world but it's their decision and

[9:25]

in the world but it's their decision and when I found that out I signed up for a shoot so Ben shoot is the competitor to YouTube and they have a new tool and I was just looking into it apparently Ali Alexander was behind that at least he was
was I don't know how deeply involved he was but he was part of making this happen I'm not sure who actually did the code could have been could have been part of Ali's design or not but anyway he was central to getting a tool that were to automatically move your videos from YouTube over to bit shoot so just before I signed on I created an account and I'm doing a test of moving one video over now I'll probably just be mirroring the content for a while so but given that YouTube has a if I had to put the odds on it I'd say I hope 30%

[10:26]

put the odds on it I'd say I hope 30% chance of just kicking me off the service entirely wouldn't you say 30% chance I would just get kicked off entirely now I don't think it would happen unless I start making a difference in the election if that happens I'm sure pretty sure I'll get kicked off but I've got a backup now so I'll let you know about that let's talk about Portland so as you know reality is subjective and we're living in a big old simulation I don't know who's the author of the simulation I think it might be me because things certainly seem to go my way quite often but it turns out that the chief of police in Portland where an tyfa attacked indeed now and you know there was that latest dust-up the name of the Chief of Police I'm not making this up her last name is outlaw the chief of

[11:31]

her last name is outlaw the chief of police in the town that was having trouble controlling the crime her actual last name is outlaw spelled exactly like outlaw I'm not making that up I swear that's true here's the second part that's interesting outlaw has suggested that Portland ban masks in public public demonstrations now who was saying that besides me I'm trying to I'm trying to say I I'm pretty sure Greg Gutfeld said it on the five but besides us who else said the Portland Portland needs to change the laws to make masks illegal did we make a difference I don't know

[12:34]

did we make a difference I don't know yeah but I asked you that's an actual question did you see anybody else calling for that because I was saying and still say that just because Portland has crime and some violence would not keep me from going there because every city is in crime and some violence but my redline was that they have a law that allows you to wear a mask in public to do your violence and under those conditions I will never go to Portland so let me say it again I will never go to Portland again as long as that law stands that you can wear a mask in public and beat up Trump supporters with impunity - Tucker say somebody's saying that Tucker Carlson said it which would certainly have amplified the message a thousand times from when I said it but um and then a spokesperson who's opposed to the unmasking somebody from the

[13:36]

to the unmasking somebody from the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon said that it doubts a policy prohibiting masks could be enforced in a constitutional manner and and spokesperson says quote a policy that prohibits wearing a mask to a protest will have police focusing on the wrong issue will it because I think wearing a mask to a protest so that you can beat people with clubs with impunity is sort of the only important issue that's happening what was the other issue that they would be ignoring while they're we're preventing masked terrorists from beating people with deadly weapons is it the littering what exactly are the other issues that they would be distracted from then she goes behavior is the issue not the mask to which I say the mask is the behavior you put the

[14:40]

the mask is the behavior you put the mask on to do the behavior the mask is a big part of the behavior this is the most ridiculous weakest argument I've ever seen and that's and then she says the spokesperson goes on to say there are many legitimate reasons people wear masks including political and religious reasons okay I'm not convinced and I'm gonna say something now that'll probably get me kicked off of most social media and I'm gonna be careful about this but I'm gonna give you my honest opinion about it you need to know some background for when I watched the videos of an Dino being hit on the head and then of course there the news shows other clips you can see them on the internet of other people being hit on the head it's obvious that

[15:41]

being hit on the head it's obvious that part of an taifas strategy at least the people coming to cause trouble they're coming specifically to hit people on the head with blunt objects it's obvious that that's the strategy they're not going for the body they're going for the head and they're bringing specifically the kind of tools that would that would make a lot of damage on the head let me give you some background on my feeling about this many of you know my stepson died in the past year from an opioid overdose including fentanyl so you've heard that story so you've watched you've watched the pain I went through kind of trying to deal with the fact that you know I'd worked so hard to keep him on the right path but couldn't do it and he died this year of an overdose what you don't know is that it's the second time he died the

[16:44]

is that it's the second time he died the first time he died was after a bicycle accident in which he had a head injury now he was wearing a helmet and it was just a freak injury no it wasn't anybody's fault it was a just a sort an ordinary childhood injury but he landed in a freakishly weird way where the helmet didn't help as much as it should he was rushed to the emergency room with a helicopter yeah I think he was 14 he was rushed to the emergency room in the helicopter unconscious where he stated unconscious for a while when he came back that his brain was bleeding and of course why I saw the Endino story as I was reminded of that for the next month or so after he had been released he had to be kept in a dark quiet room so the the
the those would be darkened and and he couldn't have any noise and he couldn't have the TV on or anything else he simply had to stay there coming in and

[17:46]

simply had to stay there coming in and out of consciousness for about a month that was the diet that was the prescription medically because when you've got such a bad head injury you don't want any inputs so for about a month and the problem was that when he was awake he couldn't make good decisions and he couldn't stand up straight so if he tried to walk he would fall and he would injure his head again that was the danger but you couldn't strap him down I mean you couldn't tie him up and you couldn't reason with him not to try to stand up and use the bathroom or walk around because his brain wasn't working so we had to have round-the-clock for a month an adult laying on the bed next to him and an awake so that you could grab him if he tried to get up you had to physically restrain him so for a month I took turns with my ex and his biological father who

[18:48]

with my ex and his biological father who moved into the moved into my house at least for the time that he was you know caring for the kid I mean we took breaks of course but but we took eight-hour shifts or whatever it was and we would just stay there in silence next to him on the bed for a month in the dark when he recovered if you can call it that to the point where he could you know function and go back to school and stuff he was no longer the same person his personality was radically different and the way that it was different specifically it was I think was different in a few ways but the way it was different specifically is that he could no longer recognize risks for what they were he went from being a very cautious kid who really didn't like to skateboard in any dangerous way he didn't like to do anything that was dangerous he was the most cautious kid

[19:50]

dangerous he was the most cautious kid you've ever scene but after the head injury he no longer had any fear for any physical danger including drugs and his friends came to us you know in in the following years and would say to me you have to do something because we'll be at a party and he'll be you know totally zonked out and somebody will handed in drugs and we know there's way too much that he shouldn't do it but he will take everything that's handed to him he will not distinguish if it's handed to him and it oh he says he'll take it doesn't matter what it's mixed with doesn't matter how much doesn't doesn't matter and it was part of his complete lack of fear he you know he did other things who are dangerous as well so I watched him die twice once from a head injury the the child he used to be didn't exist after that he became a different creature and it was a creature that

[20:51]

creature and it was a creature that couldn't survive in her world because he didn't have a normal sense of risk avoidance so when I watch Andy now getting hit on the head by people who came there to have people on the head and then I watch Lee I watched the I watched the video clips of other people being hit in the head who were being hit by auntie fall and I say to myself do we treat that do we treat that like normal assault you know it is that the same as if you break somebody's arm is is the is the penalty the same for hitting somebody in the head and changing who they are for the rest of their biological lattic life is that the same as breaking somebody's arm I don't think you should be based on my experience somebody says they should be treated as

[21:53]

somebody says they should be treated as attempted murder and I disagree I disagree if somebody comes with the intention of creating head injuries and then does it and creates a head injury I would treat that as the death penalty I'm in favor of the death penalty for an tyfa the people who came and actually hit people on the head let me say it again because i don't want to be I don't want to have any ambiguity about this the current law probably treats it as some kind of assault bla bla bla I don't care what you call it
it if you come somewhere to injure somebody's head and then you do it there should be the death penalty now here's the part that's gonna kick get me kicked off of all social media are you ready for this this might be the last time you ever see me and I'm not kidding if you

[22:56]

ever see me and I'm not kidding if you put me on a jury trial for somebody who shoots somebody for hitting somebody over the head at an anti-fog rally let's just say hypothetically and by the way I'm very much not encouraging this behavior do not do anything violent and and I'd like to compliment everybody really everybody who owns a gun I'd like to compliment everybody who owns a gun that nobody in antiphon has ever been shot think about that think about who they're going up against and how many guns that group and their supporters collectively own zero people have been shot how many people has a van tyfa attacked in their head their head quite a few how many have been shot zero I would hope that

[23:59]

have been shot zero I would hope that we'll go through the rest of time and nobody will ever be shot don't shoot anybody do not shoot anybody that said if somebody did and you put me out a jury trial I would not convict them I would not convict anybody who took out an anti-fog person for hitting somebody else and they had intentionally wouldn't do it now good luck getting 12 people who are random citizens to convict because you wouldn't get me to do it so this is probably the last time you'll ever see me on social media we'll see how that goes but since YouTube is de monetizing me anyway there D monetizing these pretty much automatically now let me just say that we're treating this all

[24:59]

me just say that we're treating this all wrong we're treating it all wrong because if we're treating somebody who comes with a blunt object a pipe or a you know sock full of coins or whatever they're using and they're going for the head that's the same as murder because those people probably will never be the same I don't know if you saw Andy now being interviewed not too long after the attack on dr. Carlson I I didn't ever see him before that but he didn't look like he was in good shape and I would ask ask you what are the odds that Andy now will have no permanent damage from that I don't know the odds of permanent damage pretty high look at all the football players as somebody said if you look at the football players there's a pretty big percentage of them who have permanent problems because of all the concussions

[26:00]

problems because of all the concussions so I think we need to account for the fact that we're smarter and that there's there's more understanding of what a head injury means if you have a cartoon idea of what a head injury is you know you've watched movies where people get hit on the head and they're unconscious for a while and then they they pop up and they save the world that's not what that's all about head head injuries kills the person in the inside of that skull not every time not every time but enough that you could treat it as murder if it did so so I'm gonna go throw down my steak there I think that the anti-fog people if they wear a mask especially and they show up with a blunt object and they has somebody in the head you should be the death penalty and if there happened to

[27:01]

death penalty and if there happened to be somebody there and I do not recommend this I hope you do not do this but if it happened I would never convict so that's my story it didn't mean to be a downer today but one of the reasons that I like to think of the the anti-fog people as being attracted to the violence more than the politics which at which the insiders will admit therefore the the adrenaline buzz now you have to ask yourself what allowed that to happen what allowed this situation to exist and I would say to a great extent it's the illegitimate media you know the fake news because they've told the story where somebody like Charles blow can say and I read this earlier this is his tweet today this is this is

[28:02]

this is his tweet today this is this is somebody who's yeah you could consider a thought leader this is somebody who should be you know helping people to think better about their situation and Charles below says let this think in or read it again there are tanks in the nation's capital and concentration camps at its borders the drift or the unimaginable is unmistakable now if you are a young not too bright person and you saw serious adults tell you that President Trump and his supporters are moving the country toward a hitler-like situation what would be the most responsible patriotic thing for you to do it would be to resist it and even violently so Charles blow you've got some blood on your hands

[29:04]

some blood on your hands Charles blow you have blood on your hands you're the kind of person who's and again I can't tell how much you actually believe what you're saying and how much you're saying it for effect just can't tell but either way you're creating a situation where people are hitting people on the heads in public wearing masks while they do it and thinking they're on the side of the right meaning on the side of good not not political right they actually think they're on the side of justice and
Charles blow you cause that you should take some responsibility for the for the the death that's coming into that and the injuries should really take some responsibility for that as well as the rest of the media so yes let's keep it a

[30:06]

rest of the media so yes let's keep it a little bit lighter I started the hashtag that I thought would drive the drive the Trump haters crazy because they were worried that he was going to have tanks President Trump left tanks at his celebration and so I created the hashtag tanks President Trump which just sounds funny all right that's all I have to say for now I didn't mean to be a downer but I do think we probably have to deal with this antiphon stuff and at the very least get rid of the masks don't hurt anybody don't be violent and I'm proud of all of you who have will say kept your Second Amendment right and not not abuse them because you certainly had every every reason to do so but thank you for not doing that it's a great credit to you for control it's a

[31:07]

a great credit to you for control it's a great credit to your I don't constitutional integrity let's call it so that's my compliment to you and I will talk to you all later
