Perlific off their bill O'Reilly is back on. Confronting America. What has to change? Oh, man, you were so right, Bill. How are you, my friend? We're going to get a hat and Corolla like you have. I got to get that hat. I don't know what my head says. Oh, it's got the, I think it's, you got to go to Pebble Beach. You have to race a car in Laguna, Saka. You have to sign up to be a driver and you will get a gift basket and you can race your car, your vintage car at Laguna, Saka up north at Pebble Beach and you will get a hat. That's a little involved, but I might be able to do it. Or you could probably go online and get one for $9. Hey, Ben, I've been well. I think I'm like you and that I just look around and I go, what is going on and why are we doing this to ourselves and it all feels like we're undoing what was done and it feels like a huge waste of time. I feel like I'm walking around picking up garbage and putting it into a can and someone is just emptying it into the wind and then we're all going to go walk around and pick up the garbage again and put it back into the can and then someone's just going to kick over the trash can again. I don't know what we're doing in this society anymore. A lot of people are confused and we have a big change coming with AI that frightens them, a lot of people and then we hate Trump, we love Trump, that kind of thing so there's a lot of stuff swirling around. Yeah and there is a lot and there's always been a lot but there's another element which is everyone is invested, communicating, obviously everyone's picking up their phone, everyone's getting involved but there's a thing where we're moving from the tactile world, the world of barn building and working on farms and cooking stew and stuff like that into some sort of digital world and it's driving a lot of people insane. I think that's a good analysis because you have the potential to make money and we are still a capitalist society although California may go at any time and communism. If you want to make money you're going to have to put the kettle down and go out to one of these centers that are designing our lives based upon high tech and that's pretty damn frightening. There's no doubt about it. But I think there's a larger, I think there's something larger afoot. You take like male sperm count and testosterone and everything is down. You start factoring in sort of environmental things like microplastics and stuff like that. There's a sort of thing going on where we're starting to change. Men are not what they used to be. Women are not what they used to be. Something is going on and it's getting kind of weaponized and it's not we're not going in the right direction. It was always complicated to talk about the battle of the sexes. Can you say that anymore? I don't know if you can say it. It's on a conversation with some very smart people the other night and I said to have you notice that if you disagree if you're a man and you disagree with a woman you're yelling. Right. Yes. You're yelling. Right. I'm going to know if you want to hear me yell I'll be happy to yell. I'm good at it. All you have to do is punch up. We'll do it live. You can hear me yell. Sure. But I'm not yelling. I'm disagreeing. Yes. So there's a whole new paradigm in how we treat each other which has been virtually ignored by almost everybody. But it's absolutely there and you know men are what they used to be. I would say that's pretty true. I don't think women are either where we're going we're going in different directions. I see endless hours of women fist fighting at airports and donut shops. I mean I never used to see women fist fighting. I didn't have the internet but I did have my eyeballs and I did go through high school and I did go to a lot of places and I never saw women physically fighting and now physically. It's conflict resolution but this court case in Massachusetts where the woman killed her three children. I don't know 20 years ago almost every woman in the United States would have been against her. Yes. Yes. Yes. Because the children. You're saying exactly what I'm saying. No, I know something changed from the year 2000 to 2026. She would have been a scourge to society. She killed her children. By the way all you had to do is kill one of your kids back then and that was enough to get society to turn against you three. You know my goodness. So yes. And the fact that there are women out there. The fact that every time there's one of these anti-ice, antifa, whatever events women are the tip of the spear. I mean there are as many if not more women at the protest scuffling with the ice officers physically than there are men. It looks to me like a more of a 60 40 split out there. Now if you had said you know violent protesters scuffling with uniform officers 30 years ago the percentage would be zero women. Now they're on the hood of the cop car twerking. Yeah. The guys don't want to miss any of the football games. Yes. So that drives zero ten lids down. And I don't know. I think a lot of people abort. Yeah. I mean it's there's something else afoot. I wish it was boredom. You know they really there's more to do now than ever in people are insane. Well they're empowered. Yes. Women and girls are taught in school that you have to be empowered. Yeah. And Lenny over here has to shut up. Right. So I see that among some of my friends they got to get permission to do anything. Yes. From their spouse. I know. So it's like oh let me see what when I hear the words let me see. Then I got it. Yeah. I got it. Now I know I'm not a show. You know I'm not a show of this. I am a think a rational thinker. Yes. But most of our problems that I write about in confronting America stem from the school system and bad parenting. Yes. Which is lethal one to combination. That is lethal to a kid. So you're you got crazy parents smoking pot or on their phone all day and then you go to school where the teacher is saying well Sally has to be empowered and you shut up. Yes. You know you're going like this. I think you're on to something here. Yeah. And the schools you know used to be I coined a phrase during COVID which is they're now trying to crate train the kids. If you get a young dog you have to crate train them when they're young you can't wait till they're middle-aged because crate training doesn't work on five-year-old dogs. You got to do it as a pup and you have to get the kids young to crate train them. The crate training is they actually feel like they're safe inside their crate even though if the house is on fire they're just in a crate that's in a house that's on fire. There aren't but it's an illusion of safety. and they did it during COVID. And they used to keep the training, they would start the training in college. But somebody figured out, some of them are a little too old to be crate trained when they get to college. And they started now, and they went down to high school, then they went to junior high, now they're grade school, and now we have to have, you know, training time story hour. And they're realizing that let's get these kids when they're pop so we can crate train them. And they're smart. I mean, if you were trying to indoctrinate somebody, you wouldn't want to wait till they were 18 and a half, you'd want to grab them at seven. And that's what's going down. And all the, and all the stuff, it's tons of women and tons of unions, and it really has nothing to do with education anymore. That's about one big political. - Well, I tell a story in confronting America about my high school experience, and I was a history teacher, and civics in a school, and I had, I was 22, and my students were 18 and 19. And a lot of them were on the road to nowhere. They were, you know, they were, you could tell. They weren't gonna make anything. So I brought in one day, houses on Biscayne Bay, mansions, and I said to the class, how many of you guys like to live in these houses? You're a beautiful house. This is a slideshow, and every hand went up. And then I said, I brought in the hobbles, the slums, which some of those kids lived in. And I said, how about these houses? Well, live there. And I said, if you don't pay attention, if you don't learn the essentials of life, in this school, then you're gonna live in that shack. That's where you're gonna be, okay? Now, I got in trouble for doing that. As a principal, oh, you're scaring the kids. I said, my job is scary kids, okay? These kids are on their way out, they're seniors, and half of them don't know anything. So it's my job to get them into the real world. The principal couldn't care less. And that kind of presentation in the nation's schooling has just been on steroids for the last 30 years. So when you go out and you ask these kids anything, who's the vice president? And that impacts their whole life. If you don't know anything, you're gonna fail. With a Bernie Sanders says, you're gonna give you everything every second you're gonna fail. - Yeah, I was thinking about the whole democratic socialist and all this stuff, we hear all the time, oh, they went free this, they went free healthcare, they went free childcare, they went free tuition, they went government runs, supermarkets. And everyone always sort of focuses on what they want. They went rent control, they went all this stuff for free. But the reality is, the real thing everyone should focus on is these people don't want to work. They don't want to work. If you work, then you can have most all the stuff you want, or if you choose not to work, then you can focus on trying to get everything handed to you for free. But the real epidemic we're having is them not wanting to work. I mean, I said it, you know, you're older, I'm older. Let's just say the guys I know, you take guys like Dr. Drew, you take guys like Mark Garagos, guys like yourself, guys like me, all middle-aged plus, all past 60, every one of these guys I'm talking about works almost every weekend. I can't tell you when the last weekend I didn't work. I'll say the same for Mark Garagos, Dr. Drew. How come all the old dudes I know work their ass off and all the young dudes I know, they're in no weekend action for a lot of them. So there's an ethic that's going on. It's a problem, and everyone's sitting around talking about arguing over free stuff, but it's really a work issue we're having. Also a vision problem. So after World War II, my parents got married. My father was in the Navy, occupied Japan, came back, and I lived in a place called Levittown on Long Island, and knew we used hundreds of kids. And everybody worked. Since I'm 10 years old, shoveling snow, you heard all the stories, cutting lawns, whatever maybe. Because my father wasn't going to give me any money, and if I wanted that toaster and almond ice cream bar, I had to find a money and I wasn't going to steal. So there was an ethic, it was an ethic. And the ethic was, you pay your way, okay? And if you pay your way, then you'll rise because people will say, yeah, guys are a worker. Maybe I'll take a mind and give them a couple more bucks now or whatever it may be. And you go up. Now, you don't have to pay your way, because your parents will do everything for you. You can create your own existence on your telephone. Yeah, I want to be a bachi king, and you can be a bachi king. Whatever they want. And so that you go away from the real world, you're on a track not to be in reality. I have a portion of confronting America where I say tattoos, I discuss tattoos. Now, if you want to be a longshoreman, go ahead and have tattoos. If you've got to play for the Lakers next year, if you're going to make the team every tattoo in the world, go ahead. But if you want to get a corporate job with me, because I run three corporations, and you walk in with a panther on your neck and a couple of sleeves, I'm hiring you. Number one, I don't want your uncle, who's obviously a hell of a angel showing up. Number two, I mean, why are you doing this? For what? And some of these people have really good looking. They don't need to have the forehead or the piercing of the nose. And I never ask them about it, because number one, I'd be yelling. And number two, that I'd be in court somewhere getting sued for the faming tattoo people. So I just look and evaluate. But people are evaluated by the way they look. Yeah, I mean, it suggests to me that you are spending a lot of time and a lot of money on something that's unnecessary and would be much better suited, getting bonded, getting your welding license, or whatever it is. It kind of suggests you waste time. That, and it also suggests to me that you're trying to elicit reactions. You're trying to get me to think of you a certain way based on how much money you spent on your right arm. I want to judge you by your actions. I want to know, do you show up early? Do you show up often? Do you stay late? Do you bust your hump? Are you polite? You know, I want to, I don't want to think anything about you before I watch you work. And I don't want the nose hoop in the woman and I don't want the tattoo on the dude. I don't want to have any preconceived anything. I just want to see how you operate and what your skill level is. I mean, I used to be a carpenter. And when a guy would walk onto the job site, you could watch him work for 10 minutes and you knew whether the guy was skilled or not. Is that right? You could tell if the guy was skilled by looking at his bags, just his construction bags, what he had in him, sort of how things were arranged. You could go, oh, that guy's a journeyman, that guy's a skilled guy versus that guy's glorified goomper. He doesn't know what he's doing. I want to watch you and then draw my determination based on your work. I don't want you to get me to think something about you as you come in. I mean, it's like I'm a car guy through and through. And I race cars and I have a bunch of old cool cars and everything. I drive a white Tesla with a white interior, Y model, middle of the road, pedestrian, housewife, school, teacher, car. I don't want to be noticed. I don't want to make an impression on you. I don't want you to think I'm a high roller. I'm going to pull up in a Lamborghini and turn your head. I just want to drive my Tesla under the home depot, get a sack of type S mortar, throw it in the back and be left alone. I don't want you to think anything. Yeah, I mean, it's further down the road than that, though. So when I'm on the beach and I see a 14-year-old girl with tattoos, I go, what the doose is wrong with their parents? Yes. Why are you allowing now the girls 14 years old or whatever? Because I ask and I hold you. Yeah, I'm 14 and you know, giant tattoo. I say, what is wrong? And parenting is that the root of many of our problems in America. Yes. America would have to change and the government can't come in and tell you how to be a good parent. They want to, child kid. That's it. The child care thing is all about. Get them in to this big indoctrination hall and tell them that they got to do XY and Z. Have a big picture of Chairman Bernie there. You know, that's what they want. But if you're a responsible parent and you're allowing your 14 year old to be covered with ink, what's wrong with you? Well, the parents never make those judgments. I do too. Yeah, it's covered with ink too. Because, you know, I think Dennis Prager used to say it, but, you know, we went from calling your boy son to Powell and then we decided they were your best friend. And it basically became about making friends with your kids versus actually being a parent and being a parent means not winning popularity contest sometimes that we wanted to be good friends with our kids. And also, you know, disciplining is a, is a, I don't want to say a lost art, but it is frowned upon quite a bit. You will be ostracized if you discipline your kids in any meaningful way. Society, I mean, the school board may send someone over to your house if you found out that you discipline these kids in any kind of traditional way. So we don't even do that anymore. And when the parents more obsessed with what him or her is doing, what the parent is doing, how many times have you walked into a chucky cheese and seen a family for and they're sitting around a table and they're all their phones? Yes. They're not talking to each other. No. We had a phone banned during meal time at my house. But then I'd throw it okay. What do you want to talk about? What happened in school? What this, what that, no phone? Well, there's also an epidemic of pharmaceuticals. Young people are on so much crap they don't need to be on this, uh, Cindy Crawford's kid, this Presley Gerber, just 90s and 27 years of age. I don't know if he OD or whatever, but I heard a video, he made a video of basically what he was on. And this is a 27 year old healthy dude that's on 10 pharmaceutical prescriptions for no reason. I tell people, tell me, I need this. I need that. I have anxiety. I'm like, take a hike, listen to classical music, jump in the ocean, wake up, go, go ride a horse or something. Go, go to the beach, get in the water. No, no, no, they're on. I'll play it for you, I was just listening to it on the, on the ride in, but it's a little slow, but you can hear what this guy's on. I guess he's just making a video of himself in rehab a year ago or whatever it is, but listen to what this guy's on. Long story short, where I'm at currently, three classes of medications, kind of four, blood pressure, opiate, bento, my dad depressing, stomachs, my panic attacks are really, really bad. The volume, I take a little bit in the morning or not. I don't know if it's a little or a lot, anti-depressant wise or tasapene. And then I take prazes in, also used to treat nightcarers and PTSD and ketamine drips. I definitely use that more than I should. And sometimes it's not an clinical setting in a way. He's a, alright. I listen to the long form, not the, you know, one with the dance beat over at the entertainment tonight. It's going to, it's guys just on 70 different things. He's a healthy, 27 year old, healthy. That's it. I mean, I, there's no reason you need an endless, listen, I, everyone hates me because there they go, I have anxiety. I'm like, get the fuck over it. Go take a hike. Get busy. Start moving. Break a sweat. I, I don't know, I had none of this because I had to work every day. I was too busy. Do you have anxiety when you're being chased by a bear? Do you have all these feelings or are you just running with a bear behind you? Wake up. Get back to that. Way too many, way too many pharmaceuticals, Bill. It's insane. Yeah, it's an excuse mechanism and the doctors play into it. You know, the drug addiction in America is just, it's number one, it's such an industry, you know, in L.A. that billions of dollars have been stolen from these drug programs, supposed to help people. They don't help people. They make it easy to be a drug addict and in other countries, they make it hard to be a drug addict and the other countries have a much lower level of crime than we do. You know, when there's a crime committed, there's always a victim. People get hurt, but that's okay because oh, no, this person, I'm a real hard to use your expression, dude, when it comes to personal responsibility. So if you listen to that kid and you look at his appearance, who's surprised he's dead? Now, it's almost, it's insane because you see it coming from so far down the road. Yeah. So you take a kid like that and you put him into mandatory rehab in a therapeutic center, take the money that's being stolen and conned from the homeless people and then build real health facilities to get these people off. But the truth is, Corolla, and you know this because you're in showbiz. A lot of these people don't want to get off it because as medicines, they can get you off the drugs. They're blocked in a variation. They don't want it. They want to be high. Yeah. Well, no, that's the whole reason we have a homeless problem is the people on the streets are doing drugs. Right. And they have no right to be there. Those homeless people have no right to encroach on any American by being out and doing things like sticking needles in their necks and stealing and whatever it may be, kids see that. And they have no right to do it. All right. There are all kinds of laws that protect people from anti-social behavior, which that drug world is. But no, no, no, no. We can't make judgments like that. Yeah. I can. I wrote a book out it. All right. Confronting America. This has got to stop. Well, what is the remedy? What's the Bill O'Reilly best of it? The best of what the problem is? Well, each problem. It's, I break it down by chapter. So here's the problem. Okay. And here's the solution. So a lot of people don't have enough money, Corolla. They don't have enough money. And when you were paying $6 for going on gas, as you are in California, because they're taxing you up to here so they can waste money on programs that don't work. Okay. Then you don't have much money. And then when something hits like Iran, that drives the market for gasoline up and food, you can't afford it because you're living day by day on whatever wage you can scarf up. That should be lesson number one in every school. Like I said, in Miami, I'll live here. You want to live there. If you have no money, you're powerless. You have no power. So you have to accumulate money. And the way to do that is two ways. Develop a skill. You can point it out. Be a welder. Painters. Are you kidding me? How much money painters make? Just to paint your house? Because I used to do that in college. Or you go to college, you get a degree and you work the white collar world. Okay. Those are the two ways in America that you make money. And there's a transitionary period where the migrants, millions of them come here. There's a reason, there's a reason they come here. Okay. And that is because there is a pathway for everybody. If you obey the rules and the rules are, you're honest, you work hard. You have some vision about your future. And you develop something that other people need. I need somebody to fix my car. Unlike you, I'm lucky I can put gas in my car. That's how bad I am. I need some guy. I got a guy. Sam. Sam takes care of my car, but he charges me a good amount of money. Yes. And Sam's living pretty well. So, tell me income inequality. Income inequality is you in America. either don't understand the rules or don't want to obey them. That's when income equality is Bernie Sanders. - Well, you have to have a skill that people will pay for. And the fewer the people are that possess your skill, the more you get paid. - The more you're gonna make. - You get paid. - For the better you are at doing it. - Well, you get paid the least working at McDonald's because anybody can flip burgers. So that's sort of the least. The bottom of the, the stuff you did as a kid, you mowed lawns, you washed cars, you shoveled snow. All right, that's something anybody can do. At some point you become shortstop for the Yankees and now there's a handful of people that can do that or you become Michael Jackson or something like that. There's one guy who can do that. So you have to think in terms of who else can do what you do and how many of them are and the more there are, the less you're gonna get paid. Now, I got into show business to make money. That's so I could go race cars, basically, and build houses because that's what I wanted to do. So the other thing is, you know, you can think about stuff you wanna do. I wanted cars and I wanted to build houses. But I knew that as a carpenter, I had to drive a truck and I knew I was gonna rent. I was never gonna own my own house. So I intentionally went into comedy to try to get paid to then do the stuff I wanted to do. And I don't think, you know, people think like somehow that doesn't make me an artist or something, but most people don't admit it. But I did it 'cause I wanted to make money because I like cars and I wasn't gonna be able to afford a second car. So I don't know what motivated you toward show business, though Bill, no one ever says money, but was it money, was it? - No, I was in it for the money. - No. I was in it for kicking some serious butt of bad people. That's why I went into it. So I could have been a cop. I could have been a federal agent. I had the education to do that. But I said, you know, look at Woodward and Bernstein and bring down a whole corrupt administration. They got nice jackets. Let me give this a try. And it worked out. The journal is something more than 50 years. All my peers have gone. They're driving around a golf car playing pickleball. I don't know why I'm working. Why ain't you still working? What are you doing? And I go, I kind of like it, but I don't do it for money. However, I know what's fair and what isn't fair. So if you're gonna come in, you're gonna give me an offer that's ridiculous. I'll politely decline it. But I never worked for money. I didn't have an ulterior motive. And that's why I worked so hard at my profession that I said, I'm gonna be the best in the world and I am. I mean, that sounds conceited, but you stack my resume up against anybody else's and I'm in the game. Yeah, I agree. But I mean, how many books are 21? How many we had now? 20 number one, New York Times bestsellers, 20 million books in print. It doesn't happen these days, it's impossible. And that's your side line. And then, you know, the factor in my new operation, the no-spin news, where I took nothing and made it into an independent news agency. So I'm not bragging as much as I'm giving you my vision. I did it because I thought they were worthy projects. Because I don't have a lot of, I'm not, I don't play golf. I don't care about jewelry, you know, all that stuff. Doesn't matter much to me. ♪ O, O, O, O, Riley ♪ Auto parts, yeah, Riley auto parts are in the business of keeping your car on the road. Riley auto parts offers helpful service.

And that leads me to my best story in confronting America, where I and President Obama work together on a mentoring program called my brother's keeper. And I was that close to getting $1 billion, $1 billion, to help poor kids all over the country and sign them up with mentors, like the big brothers. Because I was a big brother when I was coming up. I was a big brother too. Oh, yeah, I was a big brother. I found it very rewarding. I would recommend it. And I was a big brother, long before I got into show business. That's huge. Get back. But the brothers keeper fell apart. And I don't want to tell you why, because it's a real good reveal in the book. When you see how this fell apart, you're going to just go, well, what's your take on the Obama's? I liked Obama personally. He was respectful to me, interviewed him three times, and I could get him on the phone. But he and I saw it differently. I remember in one conversation, we had off the air. He goes, you're doing pretty well. I said, yeah, everything's going our way. He goes, you know, you didn't do that. Off the air. He said that. Yeah. But is there some guy named Lenny that did it, and I don't know about that? Do I have like a phantom guy? He goes, no, no. The infrastructure, the government allows you to do it. Yes. I mean, I said, Mr. President, I'll do respect. Nobody helped me. Yeah. Nobody. Yeah. Okay. So I did it. I did it on my own. I have a street outside my house, but that can only take you so far. And so he saw that collective big government left wing. This is a solution where I saw individual achievement and individual discipline as the solution. And so we were a far apart on that. Well, you've seen his speech where he's talking about not doing it on your own. I'm assuming. Yeah. And they believe it. Not just him. The whole Democratic Party movement, that whole far left movement. Yeah. They're sitting there going, hey, big government's going to solve your problem. What a bunch of who we. I believe you. What? It's cool. I toss and find that Obama speech because it drives me nuts and I'll tell you what drives me nuts, although I hate Obama making that speech, it's the audience cheering when he's explaining you didn't build that on your own. Well, first off, yeah, okay, well, then using Obama's logic, if Bill O'Reilly didn't build whatever he had on his own or Adam Corolla didn't build whatever he had on his own, then why doesn't everyone have something? I don't get it. We didn't do anything special. It was all about the world. No, the government helps everybody. Yeah. It helps everybody. All right, but why aren't they successful then? Why are you successful? So the vision is not individualism. That doesn't even apply. Right, but how? Theory. How when Obama is telling you you didn't do it on your own. Right. Well, then why isn't everyone successful since they have the same access to the same roads as you do? Well, he would say, "Look, everybody's situation is different. But it all comes back to your reliant on a strong central government that provides you with X, Y, and Z. Yeah. And if that wasn't there, then you would have dire poverty. You would have this. You would have that. There's some truth to that. If you see what Franklin Delano Roosevelt set up, the safety nets that he set up. We needed those in America. They're necessary because there are people who just can't cut it. For medical reasons, for mental reasons, whatever, maybe. I think that's a very small percentage. I really think that's very small. I wouldn't argue that. But when you have those people, you have to provide for them to some extent. Sure. The problem is when they're trying to sell you, and you know what's amazing is that Hollywood buys it. Yes. Hollywood, the most greedy people in the world. In the world. Yes. Okay. They're buying that a big colossus in Sacramento has helped everybody in California. When you owe the highest debt in the union, when people are flocked and moving out of there, when you got a $6 gallon of gas thing going on, when you can't buy a house, and this is what Sacramento has imposed, and you like it, what the dooses wrong with you. We could do two episodes on that. I'll play a clip of Obama giving a horrible, horrible speech to a bunch of dumb people. If you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. You didn't get there on your own. I'm always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something. There are a whole bunch of hard-working people out there. Yeah. But they're dumb. They work dumb. If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Yeah. You helped to create this unbelievable American system that we had that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. Okay. The internet didn't even sell. All right. This guy's an asshole. I'm sorry. He's dangerous. His wife's bad. He doesn't like this country. He's probably a communist, and he can fuck off. I don't like this guy. He costs a lot of racial division. His ideas were bad, and these kind of speeches are the worst thing that audience could ever hear. It's debilitating. Well, the logic is part of the problem. The logical retort is, okay, if your thesis is that everybody who's successful made it because the government somehow propelled them at the success, why didn't the government propel the people who failed at the success? That's right. And minutes ago, what's this explanation for everyone? If Bill O'Reilly didn't do it, then Bob Wutchi-Scoot should have done it too. Everybody should do it. If it's not you, then what is it? And I know they do a thing where they go, you're white, you're heterosexual, you're over six foot tall, you add doors open for you everywhere. It's a horrible, dangerous, it's a dangerous message, and it keeps people buying it. I know, but it keeps these people where they are. It's the same thing as this race hustle. It's dangerous, it doesn't help the community, and it keeps them where they are. That's why I'm not agnostic about the Obama's. I dislike them. I think they're doing damage. I think speeches like this are the same as the race hustling. It causes damage. I don't want enracism in the end zone of the NFL because I believe it causes damage. I don't believe it's sort of neutral or what's wrong with that. It makes us think that's the society we live in. Well, my real beef is that a lot of these kids in the inner-city schools, in particular, in Watts, in South Central, they're being told their victims they can't succeed. They're being told that. That's correct by the Obama's and those like that. So they're in third grade and they go, "Well, I can't succeed, so why should I even try?" Yes. That's the thing. Why should I obey any law? Why should I do anything when I can't succeed because my grandfather was a slave, so don't give me that. But that is really something that has to change in America because you cannot drop victimization on an eight-year-old. Well, that's not going to change. If the Obama's have it their way, that's all they do. That's all Michelle Obama does is talk about racism and how she's invisible as a black woman. And by the way, Barack Obama never built anything. It's not what it's like to build a business. It's such projection that he's like, "You didn't build that, but no, go find a mirror. That's who didn't build anything." You built a bunch of resentful people and you're hurting your own people. And I don't know if the race hustlers know it or they don't care. Obama doesn't seize himself as a driver of social justice, social justice, which means that everybody gets the same, which means that social justice is equated to communism. Yes. I think he's much more history. I think we're living in a time where he and his wife are much more radical than they came across. We got sold to Bill of Goods with Biden about how he was just slow and steady. Uncle Joe, his cabinet turned out to be pretty radical. They're doing this thing where they try to sell these people who are radical as sort of middle of the road kind of, "Talarico's trying to do this." You have to walk back everything they've said into a microphone for the last 10 years. So we can appear to think that they're sort of normal. And then when they get into power, they act radical. Sure. Because there's a vehicle that didn't exist to do that and that's what we hate Trump. Right. So that vehicle didn't exist before Donald Trump got into politics in 2016 now. You can persuade voters, Democrats, and independents that you should vote for the Democratic Party because of Trump. And some people have dialed that. Not to say that President Trump has been perfect, but if you look at his vision for the country, it's much more aligned with individual skill sets than the socialist view. Much more aligned. I mean, and that's what I always look for the bigger picture. I don't get bogged down in what name is on the Kennedy Center. I'd make it the William Taft Center myself. Just take both of them out of there and put, you know, prison Taft on there. But you're getting a vision, two different visions, and the younger Americans, in some minorities, but not all. A lot of minorities are very skeptical, but the younger white Americans, they're buying it. Oh, yeah. And I just hope that that subsides a little bit. It did in Vietnam. The real radicals in the Vietnam era, I thought they were going to overthrow the government. It was going to be everybody's going to get the land. There was songs and come to San Francisco with a flower in your hair. I don't know about the Vietnam era. Error. Error. I thought that that war was going to propel American society into a quasi-socialistic system where sex drugs and rock and roll was the highest level you could reach. And it just fell apart. You know, it killed the Vietnam era. Disco. Oh, we both said disco at the same time. Sympatico. Yeah. Donna Summer killed Vietnam. Yeah. That's right. Got tired and kneel young, whining about for dead Ohio. So we moved on to cocaine, boogie nights. Yeah. We're cyclical. So who's going to run, who's going to run for president coming up? You have a pretty good eye on this. Yeah. Well, Vance certainly wants to, Vance we know about. What about Rubio? Marco Rubio done a very good job at Secretary of State, very good. And I don't know what his motivation though is. I don't know if he's willing to go up against Vance, but he, formidable. On the other side, they don't have anybody. So it's like the Mets, if you follow the New York Mets this year, they don't have anybody. Nobody's going to drive in the run and let's just say it. So Kamala senses this. I love her. She senses that there's really nobody, that the public knows and trusts. the Democratic side. Nobody. So maybe I'll tiptoe through the tulips and get in again as a black woman. You'll hear a lot about black women should be presidents and whatever. But Kamala, unfortunately, does really not have the intellect to run the country. Newsom, a lot smarter than Kamala, but for some reason, Newsom told Jake Tapper that if Kamala runs, which is certainly possible, he won't. Newsom won't. Yeah. I think there's more to that story, but I'm not privy to it. Yeah, I mean, to be fair to Newsom, he said he wasn't running for president, then he was going to run, but not not he realizes he can just say whatever he wants whenever and he can move on. But once he gets out the Sierra is heading east, who's buying it? Well, he's going to buy that he did a good job in California. Yeah. And Gavin Newsom is a sociopath and he's delusional and there's something wrong with him, as I always say. He's smart, but it kind of depends how you define smart. He true. He's true. Yes. He does not have any horse sense. He doesn't have any practicality. He's really the definition of a sociopath. And by the way, I interview everyone. I talked to everyone. I know everyone. I don't call anyone a sociopath. There's tons of people I disagree with. You know, I look at Kamala Harris's dumb. I don't look at her as a sociopath, but Gavin Newsom is a sociopath and he's dangerous. And his idea, I don't know that he knows his ideas. His ideas are whatever you want to hear, whatever the person in front of him wants to hear. He's also a non-secret or guy. He doesn't make sense when he starts talking. You don't hear any solutions. The only time you really hear define things is when he's talking about Trump. Everything else is he cannot define. He was asked if they should bring back standardized testing two weeks ago. He gave a 20-minute answer that argued both sides and ended up nowhere. He's really, he sat in the studio and told me things that weren't sane. I didn't know what they meant. He was asked about people fleeing California and he went on to talk about a couple he knew who moved to Utah. And they were happy. And that was his answer. His is a bizarre. Now, his answers are bizarre, but they're only for dumb people. Smart people hear his answers and go, this guy's a complete idiot. And I don't even know what that was. Now, he answers eloquently. But at the end of the day, you're saying to somebody, hey, I'm new in town. How do I get to the post office from here? And the guy gives you a 20-minute answer that's very precise. And when he leaves, you realize you have no idea where the post office is. Well, he's very glib and I saw him at the Super Bowl and I say, "Govny, I do my long form. We'll do it live." "Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, but he won't do it." No, he won't do it. We called them a couple of weeks ago and they didn't want to go up against me. No, he's going to talk to Jake Tapper. Right. And that's the corruption of the press. Yeah. Jake Tapper's an idiot. I hate Jake Tapper. The notion that that guy would cover for the president for four years and then write a book talking about, you know, that's the height of insanity. Well, they're all in trouble now because the Paramount deal looks like it's going to go through. So, CNN, I wouldn't be buying any property if I were working for them. What? How's that Paramount? How's that going to affect CNN? Because the Paramount deal, CNN will be part of that. And the boys that run Paramount come in and dismantle the whole operation. And that just brings me to the last point I want to make with you because I think I have to talk to somebody from Venezuela now about something I don't even know. All right. I'm just delirious. That's all right. So, I have a chapter in confronting America about the fake news. But my definition of the fake news is not what president Trump's definition is. All right. Or even Jimmy Kimmel's definition. Although Jimmy would never acknowledge it, he's got to know. The fix is in. Every time he goes on his show and the view goes on their shows, they know. Okay. But you have a First Amendment now. And the First Amendment protects any abridgment of the press's role, which is to get you, Adam Corolla. In fact, I think that defending fathers wanted to put your name in there, but you weren't born yet. So, they weren't sure whether it was going to be Adam or not. But anyway, you can't abridge the freedom of the press. And the reason is that the founders wanted everybody to get information. And they didn't want politicians like King George or Vladimir Putin telling them what they couldn't couldn't say. It makes perfect sense. Right. Perfect sense. All right. And it's a good amendment. But the founders never even contemplated the suppression of news. Right. Let me give you an example. So last week, there were two very good economic reports coming out amidst the hysteria of the $5 gasoline. Right. One said that poverty among U.S. households at all time long. The others said that assets, American homes, full of people have more assets today than they've ever had despite the gas and the food prices. All right. Those are pretty good stories, right? You would think that Americans should have that information to balance the Iranian chaos, right? See an ending cover, political end cover, MSN cover, nobody covered it. Sure. That's a suppression of news. Yeah. It's like Hunter Biden's laptop. Right. So what you get now is a first amendment that is protecting the suppression of valid news. Right. Now that's where the Supreme Court people dining on their duck confet or whatever are going to go, uh-oh. There's a problem here because everybody's got to know that the news is suppressed because the news agencies, the corporations want the Democrats to win. So they have merged. And again, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, they never ever contemplated that would happen. They thought that the press would stay apart. Right. Of electoral politics. And it has, it's all crashed. And that's why Trump's doing what he's doing with the uh-management and all that. So it's a fascinating, fascinating story. And I have a solution to that story. But I'll never get to tell it on any network news because they suppress me, Corolla. How dare that? How could you suppress a person with no tattoos, no news rings with all the news rings? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and and I'm an old guy. Where are don't old guys have rights to go on the network news now? It's basically, it's basically the same thing they do. If a cop shoots a black guy, it's front center and they never get off it. There's plenty of cops shooting white guys. It never gets covered. It's basically the same thing as you're discussing. It creates one is elevated. The other's suppressed and then it creates an illusion in the viewer's mind that one thing's a problem and the other thing isn't happening. So the other's two ways you can approach a story. One is is elevate. They do that. Black kid gets shot. Suppress. White kid gets shot. And then you ask the average American how many unarmed black men do the cops shoot every year and they say 25,000 when the answer's 13. And that's how you get there. And I guess what we need is the people need to get a little more savvy and they need to wake up a little bit and they need to understand this is going on. And maybe most people help them. I don't know. Most people don't watch news anymore. They don't. They watch you. They watch me. All right. I'm not a straight news guy. I'm an analyst. But they're not sitting there with David Mewer staring at him for 22 minutes. That's over. I got. I know what happens is out of that soup the today's show. Good morning America. All that. comes a perception and the perception takes root than I hear things, yes, but that's not a real stabilizer for society. Agreed. Bill, I know you have to talk to someone from Venezuela about something. God knows what? But you're a busy man even at your ripe old age.

You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744. I had to make a podcast link. That's what Mike says. I got your book on. Are you garbage? How long is that podcast? It's podcast link. That's always my favorite. You know how many conversations I have or Mike where I go. Okay, Mike Joe Rogan does a three hour podcast. Others do 20 minute podcasts. So there is no. It's like years when you do your interviews or half an hour. No, I got my turn. I don't do half hour interviews. I do one hour interviews. You think it's a half hour at listen every day. Well, I don't know. By the way, I now you want to know the new world order is the new world orders when people want something or want to make a point whatever it is. They just go. It's literally like me saying. I want Dawson to drive me to the Burbank airport and then I go Dawson. We're going to the airport. Hey, when you're going to the Burbank airport, can you swing my Malibu and just pick me up because I'm on the way. I'm on the way. And then you go, you're Malibu. Yeah, it's on the way. And you go, no, it's not. And I go, yeah, well, it's right. Well, it's the same. It's just driving to Burbank. I start and I start adjusting. You go Malibu is nowhere near. And I go, okay, it's not right on the way, but it's close enough. And then at some point, I just yell, you're fat. Fuck you. And I leave. And it's like, look, just because you want something. You can't will it into something because you want something. By the way, this is chick thing all the way down the road. But it's also do think too when they want something. So they just start feeding weird misinformation. Now, here's the thing. I know Malibu is not on the way the Burbank airport for Mike Dawson, but there are plenty of times where I don't know where Malibu is Mike Dawson is or and I still get fed the info. It's right on the way. And I go, okay, but it's on the way. That's the world we're living in. By the way, I filled in for you with Dr. Drew for a couple of shows yesterday for the Adam and Dr. Drew show. And Drew and I were talking about your crystal brain. And he said the next thing that Adam is 1 million percent right on is chick thing. Yes, it is. I was saying. I was saying to Andrew on the way in who has great love and reverence for his mother who does not engage in chick thing. But she's a Margaret Thatcher type. And whenever I say this, people go chick thing, chick thing. I think, what about Margaret Thatcher? What about her meat Dylan? I go, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're dealing in percentages. You know, it's like when they talk about, it's like when Al Gore talks about climate change. She goes, arise, just two Celsius degrees of the course of 40 years and the polar capsule, it doesn't take much. We're not, it's not 100% chick thing. It's, we used to have the L.A. City Council, the mayor, in L.A. It was all just dudes. It was just a bunch of dudes. And now it shifted and it shifted into not all checks, but more checks with more chick thing. And then we have a shit show in L.A. That's how it works a couple percentage look, you know, the thing about everything is like, you know, when they go, oh, you know, this. It takes like three kids to ruin a classroom environment of 35 kids. It doesn't take a majority of kids. It doesn't take 31 kids. It takes three kids to ruin the whole fucking class. So the chick thing is a percentage thing. We're moving in that direction. Certain places like Los Angeles are sort of at their saturation point with chick thing. And that's why we're through. That's how it works. So by the way, and Justin Trudeau and Gavin Newsom, look for the leg crossers everybody. Look for, you think there's a coincidence. Is there coincidence that Barack Obama, Trudeau and Gavin Newsom all do a mega deep leg cross? They do it on purpose. Yes. Yes. Yes. They're going. They're signaling going. I am a check. Yeah. I'm a check. Yes. I think it's going to be the next. That'll be the next one. I saw a great example of it the other day. I don't know if you're familiar with an app or a website called next door. And it's essentially neighbors tattling on neighbors. And it's fun. I go to it. I've never posted on it. I just go and look at some of the things that people are saying. And one lady posted just yesterday that homeless people are God's children too. Yes. And they deserve your respect. And then everyone piled on with. And then some people going, I was homeless for three weeks. And everyone was awful to me. And I'm like, there were a few sane dudes in there going, you're retarded. So that's where I checked in. I used to say the true. I used to say the true on the love line in the late 90s. I would go, we're ruining women and ruining black people. We're telling them all the message is wrong. Don't listen to anybody. Do whatever went. You're powerful. Don't let anyone ever tell you what to do. You're the girls. I know this the wrong fucking message. The message is shut up and get in line. Work hard. You'll be fine. Keep your head down. You don't have to wear a fancy pants or do a fancy dance. Now, you are the coolest. All right. What do you got for news, Dawson? Well, here in 2026, a Massachusetts bar gay bar called the last ditch bar has finally said that masks will be optional. And people are pissed really. Yeah. This is what they said. The masks were not optional. Yeah, dude. So this is a gay bar in Massachusetts. Everyone's wearing masks. And, and, and, and, and, man, they drink. I want to ask off the drink. Here's the, okay, so here's the thing. I understand a operating room environment where you're told to wear a mask, right? But if you're in an operating room environment and you're told to wear a mask, and then at some point a half hour into you observing the operation, somebody comes by and hands you fiesta mix and a Miller light and you'd go, what? And then they'd go, yeah, yeah, bring the mask down just. But only when you're eating either fiesta mix are taking a draw off the Miller light. And then it's got to go back up. And I'd go, you're handing it out to everybody, even the surgeon. Yeah, yeah, mask up in between draws off that Miller light and this fiesta mix. And then I'd go, now you're out of your fucking mind, right? I got the part where I wear the mask in this environment, but you're handing out beer. So now it's nothing, it's null and void. It's a non, it's a non thing at a bar, you know, I don't know what is the, when you're sitting at a bar, like if you really put a stopwatch on it, like if you go average American, sits at bar, watches ballgame, here's a beer or here's a bloody Mary or whatever it is. I would reckon your average draw off the beer or sip off the bloody Mary. It's not once every two minutes. It's like once every 23 seconds or something, like you're, you're taking a sip, you're, you're not sitting, that beer is not getting warm sitting there, but here's, that's not the point. And then there's a, but then there's a basket of chips in front of you. Right. Here's my theory on the mask thing is people love having their anonymity online. They love being able to shit post on X or Twitter and no one knows who they are. They got a taste of that anonymity when masks, when they can be masked in public. And also the mask gives the signal, I am socially awkward. I don't want to have conversations with people, we're going to wear this mask. So I don't, I, but let me get to the comments here because this is beautiful. So they changed this thing. And here's what they said. It is with love. We inform our immunocompromised disabled divas. Oh, it's a, it's a, at this place, it's a lesbian bar, by the way. Okay. Yeah. Oh, it's so only. Okay. I was told. Yeah. I said gay bar, I assume. Yeah. I think that'll work. Okay. So it is with love. We will be opening Saturday nights as mask optional to try out typical club nights and themes and hosts and DJs, so it's one night a week. And if you want to wear a mask, you can. Here is how angry the people are, and we go, here's the comment. Just say you're complicit in a mass disabling event and get it over with. Mass disabling event. People like you kill disabled people in the name of your own leisure and convenience. Leisure. In my favorite. I like to kill people in the name of my leisure. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, come on. I hope your venue gets fire bombed for robbing my fellow immunocompromised people of their Saturday plans just to scrape extra revenue from ableists. I don't, I don't even know what that means. I don't know what it means. I love it though. I know. Well, here's what they're mad about. It's still optional. It's one night of fucking week. This person is at least trying to run away every, well, first off. For, first off, how many people who claim to be disabled are actually disabled? They're less than 10 percent, I mean, really disabled. Everyone has to have therapy dogs. Yes. Yeah. They, they, everybody is claiming, look, we have crafted a society, everybody, where you shall get points for certain traits, or certain, certain attributable things, for instance. The reason Colin Kaepernick declares he's black when he's half black is he gets more points for being black. He gets minus points for being a straight white dude over six, what tall? So you are going to claim your points, you understand? And so if you, if you get points for being black, then all half, why do all half black people claim to be black, unless there's a point system where they get rewarded? Now, especially in this society that they say discriminates against blacks, but okay. So you get points, you get points for gay and lesbian, you get, you get all the points, you get disabled points, you get, so then if as long as there's a point system, you're going to have Elizabeth Warren claiming to be Indian, so she can get points. And by the way, it's not just social points, there's bonus mileage that goes along with that. You get into Harvard, you get grants, you get funds, you get money, you get accolades, you make it onto the faculty, you get points for this stuff. So of course, because people have a weak constitution and characters, a big issue, you're going to have lots of people trying to use these points like I, I was, I had a thing where I hadn't talked to someone, I sort of owed someone a call back and a thing, you know, the other day. And they sent me texts like, hey man, where you been, you know, kind of thing. And I looked at it for a long time and I was like, bald brine died. I played like the bald brine card. Like should I do the, I lost somebody really important to me and sorry, but I've been really dealing with whatever, whatever. And I thought, could definitely play that card. That would work. But it wouldn't sit well with you. And I was like, and I was like, it's, it's true. I've been kind of dealing with this wife and some stuff and go, a little, you know, it's been a distraction and okay. So I could definitely play the lost somebody card to get them to back off. You know what I mean? Then they'd come back and go, sorry, I didn't know you were going, sorry for your loss and then what you're going through or whatever. And I was like, now it's very not going to play the fucking card. I'm just, I just wrote back a, sorry, I've been busy, but let's talk or whatever it is. I could know bald brine card playing going on, but it's easy and it's attractive. And it's a nice out like it and people go to that all the time. Now they'll go to whatever they have to go do. But in a world where let's just say you're white in your middle class and you don't have much to fall back on in terms of the card to play, then we're going to get into the disabled part and who the fuck knows because we can't measure anything anymore. It used to be that we knew things like we go, what are you and I'm a cross dresser, I'm a trans, transvestite, I'm pre-op, trans, I'm post-op, trans, we knew everything about you. Now just go here, here, here my pronouns, here my pronouns, fuck off. And then we go, but hold on, can you use the bathroom with the boys or the girls that fuck you, here my pronouns. And now we just go fuck you, I'm disabled. And you know, well, can we ask what the problem is and by the way, can we measure this? Can we put you through a functional MRI machine or have a doctor throw a tape measure on your spine or something? Look, what the fuck's wrong with you? It's like something's wrong. It's a hate crime to ask, fuck you. And I'm getting points. That's your rat. I believe that. I have an interesting theory that would probably prove your point on this when we have to apply for jobs. They can't legally, now I haven't had to apply for a job in a long time, but you know, you've been through it, filling out a job application. Yes. And they can't legally ask your race, but you can answer if you want to, like you can say, I would bet that a majority of Caucasian applicants always answer, I'd rather not respond. Yes. And a majority of Pacific Islanders, yes, are going to, yes, everyone else is going to claim that because they get points for it. We don't. Right. But you have to worry. everyone, everyone, the word, the phrase is unintended consequences. That is the world we're living in. Unintended consequences. Everything we're seeing is oh, wouldn't it be a good, you know, what if the homeless had a safe place to inject their drugs? Okay, shit show. Unintended consequence. Everything's unintended. It's legal just to have a gram of heroin anywhere. Right. Yeah, let's let's decriminalize any theft under $950. You want to know what this is? Now, especially in California, let's say, well, let's just say Colin Kaepernick wants to get a job at the smoothie hut and he checks black and I'm the red headed manager going, hmm, what if this guy starts showing up late and I try to fire him and then he claims racial discrimination and lawyers up and I fuck myself. I don't want to deal with that. I'm gonna fuck it. I'll just hire the white kid over there because I don't want to deal with trying to fire a black person and having all the racial discrimination bullshit that is everywhere all the time. There was a story that I was re-Nandrew. I believe it was. It goes back to a bald bride drop. Hi, this is Graham willing. That's right. That is a black woman was late like 48 times from her job and I think it was at a training facility at a gym and she was 48, she was late 48 times, they fired her and then she went and sued and got awarded over a million dollars. And so with that in mind and the unintended consequence that when you see Andrew come in, you go fucking hire that guy even though he sucks, but he's not gonna be able to fucking claim discrimination when I fire his ass with being incompetent. I guess the job's future all of a sudden looks a little brighter, a little brighter for the white boys, a little brighter for whitey. No, I mean seriously if there's a black woman and you got to think about hiring that black woman, you have to think if you're in a progressive, if you're in Los Angeles, I fired a guy or we got rid of a guy and he just went to a lawyer. This is on a documentary side. He's a shitty editor. He's went to a lawyer and he just claimed racial discrimination. And as I didn't even know what the guy was, I don't know where he came from, there's a Middle Eastern something. I never talked him about it. Looked like Colin Kaepernick, like a Syrian Kaepernick. That's right. Looked like Colin Kaepernick. And I was like I don't know anything about racial discrimination. He was a shitty editor so Nate fired him and he just went right to a lawyer. And then at some point it's like, yeah, you got to pay, you got to go pay $5,000. Otherwise, it's too big of a fucking shit, yeah. Jesus. Okay, so hey, guess what? Don't hire any more of those guys to hire white guys that we can actually, when they're shitty editors, we can just fire them and then not get sued. Jesus. Well, that's where it's all, that sounds going to work, everybody. Crystal Brain, everybody paid attention. Pay attention to the brain. What was this story? I'm sorry. She, well, why put it on the screen and then remove it, Andrew? I kind of get it, Andrew. Mod energy, the Adam Crowley shows brought to you by mod.

But that's that it's a compliment because anyone who gets negative points means you flourish. You see that you have to be whatever nationality and your nationality has to be I fucking up. I love women fired after being late 47 times. I was way off with my 48. And she was awarded 11 11. I didn't know it was 11. I thought it was 1.25. You know, it's some people are listening to this. Oh, there's a community note on that. So is that is that a falsity or something? I love the picture of her in front of the American flag. Yeah, this is America. Yeah. Find somebody to sue. 2023 Manhattan federal jury awarded Robin Europe 11.25 million in your discrimination case. That's the equinox. So but but the judgment was vacated by the by the party's agreement. And the case was dismissed with prejudice month months later. Oh, okay. But she didn't. But if you're equinox, you don't have to spend a bunch of money on lawyers. Right. No, exactly. They listen for equinoxes. Do not hire any black chicks. I don't want to go through the stand. Well, and we've crafted a society that beckons them to do this. These dovetails nicely know this next story. Every divorce law in California is just a fucking unintended consequence. All right. I mean, they're all there so that these poor women with their kids aren't kicked out in the street. That's not what's going on. It's a bunch of fucking rich chicks hammering due to work. All right, what's the next one? Well, you heard about the author of that 1619 project book. Yes. She she got Pulitzer for lying. Yeah. So and then she. I do love how those committees work. Let's give Brock Obama. Let's let's give him an award two days after he gets in the office. And let's give her a Pulitzer for lying. Okay. That's good. That's good. In a weird way, it's like Sundance. So let's just give awards to whoever them a fucking lawyer's piece of shit movie is in our in our film festival. Yeah. It's chick thing. It's chick thing. All right. Go ahead. Okay. So anyway, in the news recently, it was discussed that she admitted that she regret sending her daughter to a high poverty black school in New York City when she had money to put the kid. She did it as a like trying to prove a point like keeping it real. Yeah. Yeah. Sonny Austin's defending her. Yeah. Sonny Austin recently announced that her children experienced the unthinkable while attending a predominantly white private school. Yeah. Other high school kids were occasionally mean. Yeah. I love I love Sonny. She if we ever colonized Mars and she was the first person to colonize Mars, she would find racism on Mars in the first week. She was there. Oh yeah. She would find that rock formation is racist or the length of days. The length of days would be racist. Yeah. She she finds it everywhere, which is awesome. Stolen land. Stolen land. Oh shit. Yeah. Let's give a Mars acknowledgement. Right. All right. Here we go. We understand the great kazoo tribe. A little Flintstones reference there. All right. Let's listen to Sonny. decision broadly that all parents make when it comes to educating their kids. But black parents make a very this is a very difficult decision for for black parents in particular because I made a very different decision. I sent my children to my wife. Hold on. What's up with black pluralizing everything? You mean black parent? I don't know. She's talking. Now they go for the monies. That's pretty good. She means black parent. Let's be accurate. All right. But they pluralize. That's the black that's a - How they talking, right? - Particular, because I made a very different decision. I sent my children to private schools, a predominantly white private school. And so while they didn't suffer academically, they excelled, it was a well-funded school, a private school. - All right, hold on, pause it for a second. Listen, the funding thing, the funding thing, it's insane, like funding, funding, funding. You don't need money to study, to like sit. All of the things, they do this all the time where they go like, well, these big Hollywood stars with their personal trainers. You can get yoked in prison. You can get fucking jacked in prison. Don't you watch those fucks? Didn't you see Conair? Didn't you see Nick Cage's doing fucking chin-ups? On a pipe, every time they would lock up Danero or Nick Cage, they'd get fucking jacked. You can just do inverted push-ups with your feet on the wall. - There you go. - You don't need anything. You can use fucking milk jugs filled with water on a broomstick and do curves. If you want, or not. If you want to sit in a free ass library and study and read books, you can stay up all night under candlelight and study and write, I don't know how much money did Abe Lincoln have? How much money did his folks have or school have? Listen, parents, if they're involved with the kids, and they see to it that the kid does homework every night, and they take time to read with the kid and study with the kid and so on and so forth, that kid will flourish. Or you can have chaos at home and a single parent, in which case, nothing. Okay, and as far as the school room goes, if the school room is orderly and people aren't acting out and getting into fist fights and disrespecting the teacher and all that kind of stuff, people are just orderly and disciplined. What money are we talking about? They always do the things like funding, funny. You need a, I went to North Ovid High. It was a box with a light and a chalkboard. And some students chose to study and turn in their work and read their books and do their assignments. I did not. I sat in the same classroom with people who want to Stanford and Cal in UCLA. I had friends, they left, they left high school, they went to Cal, Alexorado, good friend of mine, just went off to Cal and so did Robin Levine. But I didn't, and neither did Ray, and they did George Espinoza, and neither did Chris Pomp. We went to a construction site and we dug ditches. But we all sat in the same class. How do you explain that? We didn't study and we had shit families, we didn't care if we studied and we did what we wanted to do. And if it got hot, we didn't want to sit in a class with no air conditioning, we want to go to the reservoir. So that we did. Wait, when you say reservoir, I'm thinking of the breaking away type in Indiana. What was there, what was there around here? There's reservoirs around here. Really? And you could jump in the water? Wow. It's easy. Of course, of course. You got to climb a fucking fence with barbed wire on it. Yeah, no, they don't, they don't encourage it. That's part of it. That's part of what we did. Yeah, that's one thing that's one thing I've never heard. Well, listen, we fly into Burbank. Okay, you look down. Yes, you see reservoir. Yeah. Well, you don't see anyone swimming in. All right. We knew they were there. Oh, that's so awesome. And we fucking know idea. For those goddamn flock cameras ruined everything. We you break in and then you jump off a cliff into the water. That's awesome. It's better sitting in North Hollywood in the San Fernando Valley than Mr. Bernal's class. With no fucking air conditioning. And on June 3rd, so we did. We went to the reservoir. But those guys went to Stanford. That's the reservoir to construction site pipeline. We got caught in a pipeline. And it spit us out on a construction site. Yes. But anyway, Sonny, Sonny, Sonny got, she's got an issue here. Well-funded school, a private school, well-resourced school. They suffered a different type of pain. There was psychological trouble. There was racism that they were experiencing. All right, hold on a second. How long? But you know the thing about all this stuff? They act like we're talking about Selma, Alabama in 1957. Oh, absolutely. This is, it's like New York modern times, you know what I mean? Like when they go back to these kids. Well, they're talking about going to school in 2019. Maybe 2024. You know what I'm saying? Like when they talk about this, like you got to know it. It's like to be Black. And not in 2023 and a half, I don't, at a fucking private school. No. And if there was any racial discrimination, guess who would have found out about it, the principal, and guess who would have showed up at the principal's office, this witch. And no, you don't suffer in silence in 2023 for racial discrimination at a fucking prep school. Yeah. All right. But let's hear her tales of, whoa. What a different type of pain. There was psychological trauma. There was racism that they experienced. They were bullied. There was, there was, you know, trauma around their identity. What? Where's the pain? She was trying to stick pencils in her hair. I love that part. Men were boys were calling her "butterface," meaning she looked good but her face. And she's a beautiful girl. So she struggled, my kid struggled in a predominantly white environment, but they did not struggle academically. All right. And here's the point. Here's the point. When a white kid goes to a predominantly black environment and they struggle, that means broken orbital socket, that doesn't mean call the name. And by the, show us the pictures, show us what you got, bring, bring the fucking receipt. She never will. She never will. No, no, no, no, no, no. She's a fucking race hustling. I love how she had to go back and explain the "butterface" comment. Right. And then and be like, and obviously she's not, she's, yeah, listen, I was, I was, I did the Stern Show in Vegas when Miss Butterface won in 2003. I know the Butterface, I, I have judged Butterface competitions. Well, we are, this story came from, you know what they don't have, they don't have a, uh, they don't have a Butterbot. No. There are plenty of women who have a beautiful face in that big, bad ass. Butterbot. We need a Butterbot competition. Yeah. We need a Butterface. Butterbody. I just go Butterbot. Just bring your Butterbot. It'd be Butterbot. Butterbot. I mean, Butterface, Butterbot. Oh, that's good. That's going. Let's arrange a Butterbot. Competition. Okay. Okay. Sorry. Go ahead. Some of you have been discriminated against from not to be and, uh, I love how this is real news, but they editorialize heavily and I love the last line here. It said, uh, sunny. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. Read it. We're very sorry that your kids experienced a normal time in high school. This is the biggest problem we have. I've talked about this for 30 years. Black people experience normal bumps and bruises and setbacks in life as racism. White people experience it as a pain in the ass or this person's being a bitch. I mean, you have to flip the script and just think about it. I was traveling through an airport. I don't know. It was about two years ago. And I'm just waiting in line, waiting in security line. And all of a sudden, some like 25 or a black chick who like works for the airline or something like comes up behind me and she goes, you can't take that back. And I go, I take this bag everywhere. You can't carry it on. I go, I carry it on everywhere I go, I carried it on on the way here. I carried on thousand trips. I carry on this back. Right. It's not going to fit. I go, no, it, it'll fit. I traveled here. I put it in the upper the overhead storage because we got it, you guys put it in that template over there. I go, I, I'm just a few people who have been going through securities. Get out. Pull me out. Puts it in the template. It falls right into the template. And it's hanging out two inches on the front, two inches on the back. She goes, it's too big. I go, what, what are we talking about here? She goes, you got to go to the counter and check it in. I go, I, I'm waiting in line. The flight's going to leave. You got it. There's a line at the counter to check it in. Get out. Check it in. Now, I'm like, this is insane, but if that is a black woman, if that's sunny, hostile or her kids with that bag and some dude like Conan O'Brien walks over and goes, you got to get out of here with that bag. Well, then they would experience that is racism, right? That's how they would experience that. I, by the way, experienced it is racism, too, by the way, this 25-year-old blackjack head has been poisoned by all these fucking race hoaxes that she thinks white dudes are the fucking devil. But I'm like, I, okay, I get out and go fucking, I don't file a racist complaint. If you're black, you would see this racism. I'm telling you, almost every single neighbor I've ever had. If I were black I would experience it is racism some of the shit they've tried to pull on me I would look at it as nothing other than racism. All right, but my white privilege is knowing that all right next story So a WAMO and when I first read this headline a rogue WAMO in self-driving cab Drove through a farmer's market and at first I thought oh shit is everybody okay. Well obviously drove slowly Through a farmer's market. We have some video. I believe of something, but can I tell you this? We may we may not know we don't I You know the other day About a year ago There's that crazy guy who just drove his car over all those police cadets who were jogging. Yeah We got off. It was horrible, but he literally just uses cars of weapon and there's a bunch of LAPD young cadets In the academy and they're out on like they're afternoon jog or whatever. I just ran them all over. Well, I Don't want to shit on your point, but I think in the court I think he was found that it wasn't malicious Yeah, he had like fallen asleep or something. It was something. There's something that was wrong with him Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not you're not cheating my point. Okay. You don't even have to say that. Yeah, I just ran over a bunch of people. Yeah All right, that's a tragic loss. Those are young dudes who are going to sacrifice for the good of society Now you run over a bunch of people in farmer's market. That's a win These are bunch of angry lesbians A bunch of fucking hippies and communists Mom all down is what I say waymo will have a better society if you can get these are all the people When they're done here, they're going to go fucking attack the ice facility. That'll be next weekend right right now We sell we sell organic ginger root following week. We spit on ice guys Fucking mom down is what I say no loss whatsoever the cadets Now that's a problem. That's it. These hippies right seeing communist hell bitch Well, this round this happened at a Denver, Colorado fire Okay, set that waymo on fire and drive it right through this fucking hippies communist. Yes, fuck them So anyway, here's the issue though. I've not had gelato made with goat milk Hey, here's my gay pride hat. You went up out of the extra four dollars. We'll throw that in fuck off. It's locally Mo those hippies down. Yeah, and supports the indigenous community. Yes, so Here's the problem though. So you couldn't it's illegal to drive through that farmer's market, but since no one was driving the car police Don't know who to give a ticket this cheese is nut based If you had nut based cheese, you can't tell the difference between our nut based sharp cheddar and regular sharp cheddar Hey bitch, there's regular sharp cheddar not exist anymore. Well, it exists Well, then I'll go fucking try that. Yeah, you should try the honey because we keep our bees very happy This is Manuka honey that is done.
